re: Good, bad, and the ugly (ECU Edition)

I am only naming the bad.. LSU and Texas is gonna kick our arse.. Bama looked mid at best. I feel the same way.as I have for 3 years..Deboer and staff do not fit this program

Post less.

Good: run game, raw talent, defense was pretty good
Bad: lack of focus, play calling
Ugly: drops, under-prepared, ref horrible holding call

Secondary seems very suspect.

Besides the one bust, how so?

Well, we are favored to lose to Georgia and LSU. We'll drop one more and it will be one we shouldn't drop. But I'll happily take 9-3 if that means we get way better next season.

We’re going to be turning over probably the entire defense in 2027. I think this probably needs to be the year for DeBoer to actually make a real challenge for a title.

We had nearly all backups in middle of 3rd quarter and couldn’t tell a difference. I wouldn’t think all 22 would leave for the draft

good, no injuries, ECU defense gave our offense good practice. They were 24 yr olds on their DL. Running game will be fine this year unless my ugly becomes really ugly.

bad, RCW drops. Need him on the field , so i will take the good with the bad

ugly, Grubbs , its like he is auditioning for his next gig. Using our team as guinea pigs. Dont like him, because I cant trust him. He is going to put our young QB in bad situations, he did it with TY and he was like a coach on the field last year

Good:

No injuries. Run game looks improved. Hill finally running like he weighs 230. EJ as good as advertised. Trae'shawn is a nice change of pace. Need more runs to the outside when EJ is 100% and Dear is back.

Russell will be special with more experience. He tried to force a few, that will cost us against SEC secondaries. He has to slide or get out of bounds more. As mentioned earlier, needs more touch on short passes. A couple of misses were simply due to him firing bullets when they weren't needed.

OL looks better but needs more consistency. TEs need to be more involved in the passing game

Meadows is going to be a problem.

Defense can be elite. They are very physical which is a great improvement. Take away the one busted coverage and Im not sure they have over 100 yds and I don't think they converted a 3rd down.

Bad:

Agree that the play calling needs to be more consistent and taking into mind the flow of the game.

RCW - DAMN son stop letting the ball hit your body!!!!!! Catch it with your fricking hands. Insanely frustrating but as someome mentioned you have to take the good with the bad because when he does haul it in he makes special shite happen.

Still way too sloppy just getting lined up and getting the plays in. Wasted several time outs just getting people in the right place and a play called. That's pee wee level shite. It goes back to Saban's last few years and makes me want to throw shite at the TV. When players are panicked and hurried, that's when they move early and miss simple assignments. THIS IS 100% ON GRUBB AND THE OFFENSIVE STAFF.

I was very curious in the first half why CDM didn't play any more than he did. When he finally did I see why. Dude can't block worth a shite. He's too damn big not to be able to block any better than that.

Trying to be far too cute on playcalling. Like Cig mentioned in the off season. We have a tendancy to default to trick plays in critical down and distance instead of just lining up and busting someone in the mouth. The fumble on the jet sweep just seemed to be bad communication between Kee and RCW and will get cleaned up.

Overall, I give us a B-. We won and no one got hurt. We'll know more next week going on the road against an SEC opponent.

i hope the ol gets better. i hope rcw learns how to catch or kr12 learns not to put the ball anywhere near his chest. i hope grubb...smh... i hope kr12 learns how to consistently look at wr's other than rc the chest williams. i hope rico gets more punt return opportunities, rcw will drop the rock at the worst time.

i hope the defense continues on as is with the natural improvements a season brings.

i hope my concerns about this team going to kentucky are false.

I think our biggest issue was RW constantly being a wildcard and procedural penalties on offense.

Outside of that we looked like a team working through kinks and attempting to use this game as a week to grow and gel. We looked great doing so.
