  1. Somebody please explain to me why we are continuing with the same personnel . BG is playing their FR and backups.Getting playing exp... Seriously ????
  2. Lzip, I am all for playing somebody other than who has been out there as there has been 0-8 success with them.
  3. Couple observations : Same O Line and same results.. No running game and continuous pocket collapse. How about some new faces on the line? Not seeing many new faces and same results. We need some change. Too many boneheaded plays by upper classman . Kato is killing us.. he is rusty after sitting for 2 weeks. Our D is not playing that bad but D line still not getting much as far as penetration. Seeing a lot of missed assignments by guys who were brought in to make those very plays. This staff really needs to re evaluate their players and the play calling needs to change.
  4. So should the Bengals & Dolphins move to the Canadian league? Child please! Get a grip.. Get on board and support these guys. Fair weather fan you are. Be positive !!
  5. I by no means bury my head in the sand. It takes a village not an individual for success. Become part of the village and not the villain whose negativity is trying to tear something down that hasn't even started yet. Give em a chance !
  6. I didn't mention NCAA player suspensions. Not sure UA has anyone that falls under that category.One thing I dont understand is you say UA had great personnel a yr ago. Yet this yr they are terrible. A player is a player. Did you ever think that the turnovers, penalties , blown coverages etc are a result of a “ cowboy mentality” by those great players that are not doing what they are coached to do? The “me “ attitude does not set well with this staff.
  7. I agree we need a punter , a kicker and some O lineman. Every weekend I sit in the stands and see all these lineman sitting doing nothing, I see players in nothing but jerseys. Dont understand why.Its now week 9 unload the bench ,all those boys should be dressed and ready. Play the freshman its not going to get any worse . It will only help for the future.Dr Z is dead on suggesting we line up a TE who can block and an extra back in the backfield. I dont feel we are good enough upfront to run the spread. As far as Arth & Staff, I feel they are good. Remember, they came in just before signing day and really had no chance. Though everyone might disagree, I feel he has the ship going in the right direction. He is recruiting a different type of player and is making these young men accountable. I know everyone wants instant gratification but be patient.
  8. Why cant we line up under center and run the ball out of our end zone. ? With 15 being a FR it would eliminate what just transpired.
  9. Cant we start playing some of the freshman who have been standing around all season. We have nothing to loose. As I see it right now we are insane. We keep doing the same thing with same personnel . Getting same results.
  10. 15 is clearly rattled.
  11. Who is calling the plays ? It all starts there.Do we not have enough TEs or backs to run a heavy formation in short yardage?
  12. Cant we just line up with Dbl TE and 2 backs on 3 and 1. Why are we trying to be cute .. Come on !
  13. Lee , You are spot on with the post. I would like to see some physical running with a TE and 2 backs. Have a big back that can block and let a scat back cut off his lead. Need a back that can pick up the tough yards when its 3 rd and 2 or 3. Hope your wrong about 0-12.
  14. We can tell you've had a lot of coaching experience. ! Good grief ! Give the guy a chance will you ! I realize your buddies from the old regime got the axe but time to stop being butt hurt and move on from it.
  15. Why don't we use a fullback?Looks like we have a 240 lb one on the roster.Maybe a lead blocker would help open holes for the RBs. And bring Hayes out and see what he can do. How many RBs do we have left? Try anything!
  16. None of these young men are rats. I think most are hungry to play and maybe they just don't fit into the system.Therefore, they enter the portal . If they stay and play sparingly then they may or may not have to sit next yr. If they leave now than they can use this as a RS yr or the yr they sit.I think this applies to a lot of RS Soph more than anything. Yes you will have FR & RS Fr as well.
  17. Man you all are a tough crowd. Just because Tom Arth was a D3 coach does not take away from his football knowledge. I think had he stayed at UTC he would have turned the corner with that program just like he will with UA. Then you guys will be on here singing his praises.” Fans only love you when your winning”.Such a true statement. Like I said get behind these coaches and be positive.
  18. I read this hustle-belt review and don’t disagree that Gibson is the future. Will they or should they burn his redshirt? That remains to be seen. If you start Gibson now than the transfer portal will be lit up. Secondly, starting a true freshman doesn't bod well for recruiting.Next, as far as Burton is concerned, Im not sure what game hustle belt was watching but his blocking was nothing but average. I witnessed him turn himself sideways as not to take the blow . I have witnessed every position, thus far , have personnel changes each week except the O line . IMO this is the biggest area of concern that needs to be addressed. No running game, a rushed passing game is a result of poor line play.Ranting and raving to fire this guy and that guy does nothing. Get behind the team and be supportive. If nothing changes in the next few years , than by all means start to rant and rave.
  19. Dline must put pressure on Peters. He has way too much time to throw.Oline not giving Kato time or getting any push upfront.
  20. Looks like a lot of position changes this year. I was looking at the roster and noticed we have a bunch of RBs and a fullback Will we be using a fullback ? I thought most of the offense was spread oriented. I would love to see the power I .Since RB is such a concern this year is there a possibility of the younger RBs getting playing time.?
