Could someone on the coaching staff correct the punt team's illegal formation after the first, second or third penalty?
All that time to practice and soooo many penalties for illegal procedure or formations. Simply poor coaching.
Mid-way through the 3rd quarter, my son said, "maybe next week the Zips could erect a barn in Info to see if Nicely could hit it", I frankly had to agree. To Nicely's defense, the dropped pass by Carter early on and the penalties had to be frustrating. Protection was not good. Anyone ever hear of a quick slant? Anything to get the ball out on the perimeter, and I'm not talking about the WR screens thrown 3 yards behind them.
Zips have needed someone to step up at RB for 15 years.
Every series of the Zips downs should have started at 2nd and 8, first down play calling was predictable.
Defense played well, especially DL and LBs.
4th and 1 or 2 on the 25 yards line - you play the games to win, not to be respectable a loss is a loss. GO FOR IT, successful you are down by 7 - unsuccessful, they have to go 75 yards for a score.
I heard they are charging $20 for GA seats. Really? Are they 300% better than watching high school teams? They should "give the tickets away" until they fill the place up (hint: winning - look at the soccer team). A guy told me he spent $80 dollars for GA seats for his family to see the bands' butts and watch a poorly played game. He said he would not go back, too expensive. Sell them for $10, soak them for $5 for hotdog and pop. Easy math $20 time one game versus $15 less $0.75 for the pop and hot-dog times 6 games = $85 - all other costs are fixed.
