Golden Coolie Questions

[Helenabobcat]

Down 5 with 2:00 left, 80 yards to go, which trio do you trust to win the game?

1. Travis Lulay, Junior Adams, Scott Turnquist
2. Denarius McGhee, Elvis Akpla, Tanner Bleskin
3. Dakota Prukop, Mitch Herbert, Mitch Griebel
4. Tommy Mellot, Lance McCutcheon, Willie Patterson

We ran into some weird connection problems that caused us to end the episode before we got to this gold nugget! I’ll read it next week.

How about....Tommy, Scottre (or Jones) and Lonyatta (or Ty).

i will go first... why didn't coach challenge the second tommy fumble? it looked like the arm was coming forward when is dislodged by contact?

The play was already reviewed, so there was no need to challenge. It looked to me like the ball came loose pretty much right as the hand started coming forward, but it wasn't clear. IMO, the call on the field would have stood either way had they called it a fumble or an incomplete pass. The better call to challenge may have been the spot on 4th and 1 that came up short, although again we never saw a replay angle that clearly showed the spot was wrong so it's very likely the call would have stood.

Only way spot was accurate is if they said whistle blew before he fell forward and replay show no whistle until he hit ground

Nice job @Montanabob for getting it kicked off. Episode for Monday night will be normal format now that the season is going. Recap UNM and preview Utah Tech.

This is probably a question for coach but why the hell with 10 seconds left on the clock do we kickoff into the end zone and give them the ball with zero time taken off the clock and the ball on the 25 yrd line. I get it if there’s 30 ticks or so. Squib kick it deep and get them to make a decision and take some time off. The end zone kick sets up a probable Hail Mary and potential pass interference. They did the exact same thing last year in a game and I’m like WTF. Is it just me with this thought process?

Ball on 25, no odd return possible. PI only moves to 40, so would need a couple.

Even if you kick it short they can just fair catch it and the result is the same as a touchback. I've never been a fan of the squib kick unless there are one or two seconds left. I tend to prefer just booting it out of the end zone and not risking a return TD especially with the recent rule changes.

Given the next 6 weeks are very easy, would you like to see Jordan Reed start for an entire game to give him experience and save mileage on Tommy? If so, which game?

[BleedingBLue]

Do Adam Jones and Scottre Humphrey both break 1,000 yards this season?

[KageRage]

Which one of you turned the game off in the 3rd quarter and had to rush to find a tv after learning of the 93 yard TD?

[catsrback76]

We didn’t seem to be getting any pressure on the QB this weekend. Is it a Defensive philosophy thing from Daly, a typical first game of the year, learning as you go thing, or do we need to intentionalize more pressure packages from the LB-DB spots? Tagging on, can we risk blitzing a LB who isn’t fast enough like Troy A was, or as talented as Callahan O was…not calling out anyone here, more recognizing every year the group brings it’s strengths and personality that is different. Are we a blitzing D?

Tommy still has plenty to work on if we're going to win a title so he needs to play at least a quarter in every game. I'd love it if he didn't play after halftime for the next month though.

I've seen this comment multiple times in the past few days, and I don't quite understand it. Gotta consider the finer details of this specific game before jumping to the conclusion that the MSU DL isn't a strength this season. Their OL was MASSIVE, pretty dang talented, and Dampier is a true dual threat QB, very elusive. And the Cats didn't bring a ton of pressure, they mostly tried to keep everything in front of them. Also, the Cats dominated the TOP, resulting in fewer chances to make plays on defense. l thought the DL held up very well against the run and did a good job at containing Dampier. His one big TD run was due to the LB's and secondary being fooled by the ball fake, DL did their job on that play.

If MSU doesn't generate more pressure from the DL next week at Utah Tech, then I'll start to be concerned..

With a return to a one quarterback system, does this allow for more players to be pulled from the talent satchel and a better "Team" focus?

[Common Cat]

Recording tonight. Full send em!

[4KornerKat]

Would you rather have:
A defense that gives up 0 first downs and 41 yards through three quarters.

A defense that has 4 sacks, 8 TFL, 2 forced fumbles, and a pick six but also gives up 21 points through 3 quarters.

What's in your golden Coolie and it's not close. : lol :

[Prodigal Cat]

Do think Tommy being such a cerebral player plays a role in his slow starts? Does he overthink things and it takes him a minute to calm down and play?
