Why would even consider coming near that punter.. just play it safe.

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

REally starting to wonder if we can pull this off. We have to stop the mistakes. I cannot believe the number of mistakes we continue to make.

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

Sorry guys...don't cry to BK about the D

 

[IrishLax]

You know what's funny? They were punting from their endzone. We would've had the ball on like the 50.

Seems like everything that can go wrong is...story of ND season

This is the teams fault. Coaches and players. The coaches won't put the best players on the field and the players won't exacute. Last week was just a tease.

 

[tko]

what is it going to take to have a football team that plays sound?

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Bad bad feeling

 

[DuffHouse12]

just run a Nickel. we don't need prince on the field against this team. the D-Line is killing it, Darius, Fox, T'eo and then 5 dbacks.

not sure why we CONTINUE to line up with LB over 87 is man-to-man coverage. what a joke.

 

[Riddickulous]

Bad bad feeling

I've had one all day.

 

[WabashFalcon]

Oh... and I just realized that I'm over 6,000 posts.


Awesome.

Bench the QB that gives up 3 TOs per game. I don't care who you have playing QB as long as they don't turn the ball over on an average of 3 times per game.

 

[irishff1014]

If they score this game might be over

 

[AllGoldEverything]

This team is so frustrating to watch..

 

[ndcoltsfan2010]

That makes two of us brother. We are playing sloppy and making mistake after mistake.

Whats funnier is theyd be kicking off right now after they scored a TD

 

[Irish Houstonian]

lol u are all blind, actually watch him play and get completly blown up on 90% of his plays.
If you dont notice him lining up 1 YARD from the ball and ending up 3 yards away from los, get glasses.

Seems to me you all think nix is doing something at DT when its actually Tuitt lined up.

Against shotgun he's actually about 2 yards off the LOS, you'll notice, to give him more space against a hand off and slow down scooping linemen. Then, if he is moving laterally against a run he's naturally going to end up a yard or two deeper, since he's taking on two interior offensive linemen. This phenomenon may have been what you're describing as the "worst DT".

Lesson: just because a player ends up at point B doesn't necessarily mean they're playing poorly.

 

[irishff1014]

This is the sloppiest team i have ever seen. high scholl player better then this

 

[WabashFalcon]

Pitt's playing for 3 here.

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

Hold them here and I think we could be ok

 

[IrishGiant]

[NDPhilly]

[WabashFalcon]

Oh.........boy.

 

[irishff1014]

[AllGoldEverything]

son of a b*tch

 

[North Buffalo Irish]

I don't understand why we aren't in our anti-sneak defense.

 

[Riddickulous]

I hate hate hate this season.

 

[koonja]

Rees fumbles that QB sneak.

 

[IrishChris209]

wow. nobody coming over the top?

 

[UPMich_NDfan]

Why are the linebackers backing away from the line?

 

[Black Irish]

2 easy QB sneaks ND has given up. Tighten up D!!!
