So running out of time and Cats are taking the play clock down to 5 seconds each play.

Well, Walker thinks about as hard about his play calling as Housewright did.

Defense isn't doing bad going against a bigger o line...our lbs aren't very fast and aren't very big so they can't patch over but are getting swallowed up in blocks. Against similar talent/size teams I see them looking vastly differentVimSince03 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 4:40 pmYou guys are going to maybe disagree with me but I'm coming out of this game impressed with our offense and unimpressed with the defense. I get they had 60 transfers and a new offense but we had minimal position changes on D coming into this one. Effort is there but we have been out of alignment A LOT today which is something I did not expect in Game 1 so often. On offense, run game is strong but they are clearly not running Tommy. Passing game needs less pocket but Tommy's throwing it fine...and over the middle! The two fumbles are bad but both getting returned for TDs is "Weber State four safety" nonsense.
I see 11-1 or 10-2. I'm fine debating it until I see otherwise as I think the D is going to get better.

Horrible play call on that 4th down. Not sure who called that…but they need a talking too.

Can't make up my mind as to which is better - 55-21 or 48-14, but 34-11 will do.

Almost 400 yards of offense. Sadly the defense wants to make plays too and sometimes does.BleedingBLue wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 4:57 pmWell, Walker thinks about as hard about his play calling as Housewright did.

You are not watching the same game...CBs simply cannot tackle. They are a huge part of the problem.BobcatBuiltTexan wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 4:56 pmI would say the safeties are lacking.

Our passing schemes aren't very good. There's nobody in the middle if the field... you know they are blitzing and all our routes are outside cutting routes. Nothing in the middle of the field for an easy throw

Empty set, they clearly are going to rush 7 on our 5. Ball has to come out but Tommy saw nothing quick. Situational football is usually the earliest test for 1st time playcallers. That one was a learning moment.

I'm watching the game play by play and I played this game at a high level.... they are there to COVER. 1, 4 and 9 have been in coverage and they haven't missed hardly any tackles. If your cbs are getting to the ball carrier it's a safety and lb problemJustwinbaby wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 4:59 pmYou are not watching the same game...CBs simply cannot tackle.

Yeah, the drop back passes have gone really well so far today…catsrback76 wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 4:58 pmHorrible play call on that 4th down. Not sure who called that…but they need a talking too.
Everyone knew there was going to be a sell out blitz and they gave a 5 step pass called? Good lord.

My buddy and I were screaming this. Announcer even pointed it out. Jones needs to run a quick slant over the middle and he's trying to run a weird stop and go.BobcatBuiltTexan wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 4:59 pmOur passing schemes aren't very good.

Bobcats haven’t consistently thrown in the middle of the field for over nine years.BobcatBuiltTexan wrote: ↑Sat Aug 24, 2024 4:59 pmOur passing schemes aren't very good.

One facet of the game we’re good at is penalties.

You most certainly did not play at a high level if you can't see the CBs and the secondary wit large are very, very mediocre for a FCS team and playing very poorly in this game.
