What I said earlier about Grace nevermind

It's always tough for a linebacker to guard a receiver. He was there and got beat on a cutback. It happens

What I said earlier about Grace nevermind

He shouldn't even be in a position to be man up vs brax

 

[phgreek]

TACKLING...for the love of GOD stick someone...

 

[bkess8]

Why is it when we hit people we bounce right off.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Joe stoppppppp

 

[dang227]

Terrible tackling. Taken back by the QB

 

[BeatSC]

Joe Scmhidt getting run over by a small QB......like watching practice with Rudy. All heart and no tools.

 

[bkess8]

What is our percentage on stopping third downs? Has to be one of the worst I the country?

Surprisingly I looked it up and we are 17th in the country. More to follow on this after the game.

I was thinking the same thing, actually. Assuming it's an ACL, he won't be ready until mid-season at the earliest for either college for the NFL. An ACL will obviously hurt his draft stock; he went from a top 5-10 pick to probably in the 2nd half of the 1st round, IMO.

Coming back to school and getting your degree, and working your draft stock back up to the 5 with a few good games isn't the worst idea in the world, IMO.

ACL recovery is usually 6-9 months depending on pre-injury condition so I would say he would be back by August 1st at worse...assuming it is an ACL tear.

ND needs to hire another "consultant" like Quinn to just focus on tackling mechanics. Bring in a rugby guy like the Seahawks did.

Yeah if hats Joe, Miller is celebrating in the end zone.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Seriously.
Is urban pissed at zeke? He should be getting way more carries

 

[phgreek]

Stunted right into that punch in the face from Elliot

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

Is this what tempo looks like?

 

[Irish Insanity]

If OSU keeps ignoring Zeke we will have a chance

You just had to say something.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

There's no reason Elliot shouldn't get the ball every snap.

What the hell is BVG doing? He constantly takes out guys out of position to make plays.

 

[phgreek]

This happened because this defense couldn't tackle early in the drive...simple...

 

[BeatSC]

Thanks D for pissing away our momentum. These guys are playing like zombies. Piss poor coaching and effort. We've talked about the heart of this team all year and it seems to have disappeared.......again.

 

[EifertPower]

You'd thinkJoe Schmidt would have played well eventually. Man he sucks. He is having the worst season of a middle linebacker in ND history

 

[gkIrish]

You just had to say something.

My bad

 

[drake29]

Can't get a stop...

 

[NDdomer2]

Again why would they throw the ball.

And did Elliott really just go bellyshirt flex for his TD celebration?

 

[EuropeanDomer22]

Schmidt is the worst player ever, damn

 

[Booslum31]

Joe got abused that whole drive. We need to take the middle away.

 

[Hammer Of The Gods]

How much does it cost to have a sit down and BVG and have him explain to me wtf he is doing? Because it makes zero sense

 

[irishfanjho15]

You'd thinkJoe Schmidt would have played well eventually. Man he sucks. He is having the worst season of a middle linebacker in ND history

Problem is, BVG is not graduating with him.

 

[Irish Insanity]

My bad

I was gonna happen at some point anyway.

 

[BeatSC]

BVG, Joe Schmidt, Longo = division 2 .500 team

 

[arrowryan]

These d-linemen want to play in the NFL and they make Barrett look like 230 pound running back when he scrambles
