Okay Dave. The run gsme is lighting it up right???
I'm not defending Aranda. I'm saying it's stupid football fan nonsense to blame the playcaller after every failed play.

These plays are failing because we can not block. This is a recruiting/development issue.

Tackling is a struggle.

We have like 5 rushing yards?? And you're calling for more running. Quit acting all high and nighty your run run run and run some more philosophical belief isn't doing **** tonight

Shapen has to go with his first read
he stares at his first read for 3 seconds...it's either pull the trigger, scramble, or sack. there's no route progression with him.

Yeah because Grikes isn't a garbage play caller

This team is clear as day built to throw in order to open up the run… obvious to everyone but Grimes.
We've thrown more than we've run today and are hitting just over 50 percent of our passes. That will get us blown out. Incomplete deep balls on first or second down are worse than two-yard runs up the middle.

The bottom line is we're not blocking anything, and our receivers aren't getting separation. That's why our offense looks the way it does. This isn't a play-calling issue today. We're getting whipped physically.


Don't believe anybody said to throw deep balls on 1st and 2nd down. We are trying to use the run to open up the pass and it is not working. Why not try bubble screens, slants, backs out of the backfield, or some other short pass on early downs to try and open up some running lanes.
We can't block any of that ***** We literally can't block anything. No offense will work with the way we've blocked tonight.

Is there *anyone* who can replace #53? He's killing us.

Doubt it. I suspect after a few plays we'd be calling for 53 to go back in the game.

Need a good oline to be able to do that

I would have bet we were bottom 10 nationally in rushing yards. You won't win unless you have Michael Vick or Lamar Jackson at QB.

My wife just told me that our middle school team could be Baylor. She doesn't even like football

He hesitates on the hot read for some reason

I'm not calling for more running. I'm telling you it does not ****ing matter what we call tonight. We're not blocking anything well enough to work.

You're getting all worked up about play-calling when we're getting physically manhandled. It's idiotic.

Neutralize then with short passing game. There's ways to counter their pass rush. We just don't have an OC capable.

Problem is now every HS coach knows this Aranda geimes staff has no ability to develop anyone

It's over for them

Just a question of how long we have to endure them

We are a really tough watch. Can't imagine what a high profile recruit is thinking as he's watching us, particularly on offense.

I really don't understand. How have we dropped so much? It took a lot of years to become relevant and it feels as if it is dissolving in front of us.

We kick FGs at a decent clip. Other than that this entire team is trash. We have 1 dude on defense and literally none worth a **** on O

Wonder if Dave will use his voice at halftime. Doesn't appear to have said a word to anybody, players or staff, so far.

Everytime we bring in a bunch of recruits, we suck! Good recruiting tool for Tech.

It's a D2 offensive line, and not a good one for that level. They do better in a hurry-up offense. Sad to watch.

It's just a way to express frustration. Much like you saying his take is idiotic.

Frustration.

Truth. The CDA /Grimes experiment needs to end Monday. Would rather some of the staff take over or a temp hire.

He's going to channel his inner Kevin Steele and see what Kevs would do.
