Marshall Postgame

[Plankton]

Hard game to watch on a lot of fronts.

1. Wholeheartedly agree that this team does not look well coached. Numerous missed assignments on offense, critical busts on defense, poor tackling. The special teams look the best of the lot, and when that's the case, it doesn't add up to a good football team.
2. The offensive line gets no movement off the snap, and runners very seldom have any creases to run through.
3. The interior OL is playing very poorly, and makes it difficult to run the offense.
4. That being said, Rees has done nothing to scheme his wide receivers open. Every throw seems to be into tight coverage, and these guys are not getting any separation at all.
5. Buchner is a one read QB. If that first read isn't there, he doesn't seem to know what to do. He also missed two deep throws that could have impacted the game positively. Now, being injured, the other prospects are scary.
6. If Drew Pyne is the answer, we do not want to know the question.
7. The defensive line got absolutely worked today. 221 yards rushing allowed is unacceptable.
8. Hard to win when you are 0-3 in the turnover battle.

The honeymoon period for Freeman is offically over. They have to work some magic between now and the Cal game to put this back together. Players have to step it up. Rees has to be more creative. Golden has to get his guys to create some turnovers and take some pressure off the offense. It's going to be a long week upcoming.

Let’s go App State!

 

[yankeehater]

6-6 may be a stretch!

Not seeing any positives in this game. Well, there was one good punt.

 

[BoredIrish]

The most pathetic fact about this team is that its a veteran interior o line.

Bama will bounce back if history is any indicator. If you’re gonna get Bama, you better get them all the way so they incur an L. If you let them hang around they’ll end up in the championship game.

Bama should have lost. The officials stole a safety in the 3rd quarter and It was obvious they wanted them to win. I feel bad for Texas. They won that game.

Hi I’m Captain Obvious. This team is not good.

 

[notredomer23]

The football commentary can wait. I don’t know who the tough people are on this team. And that’s the issue, particularly on O.

That’s my problem. This isn’t like USF/Tulsa where ND kept shooting themselves in the foot. ND got outmanned on both sides of the football today.

 

[Islandboi]

As a Jets fan both my Saturday and Sunday’s are over before they even started.

Try being a Cubs fan too. Lol

 

[PigtownIrish]

Why did we turn down JT Daniels?

Because Rees

 

[calvegas04]

ND paid 1.25 million to Marshall for this

 

[Domina Nostra]

Our DL coach is a big, big problem.

Tommy Rees is weis 2.0. He calls the game for the team he should have, rather than the the team he has.

 

[irishfan]

Can’t wait for the green jerseys next week….

 

[Circa]

I mean, a lot of this is Kelly's fault dude.

Rees had a horrible performance calling the game. Who hired him?
The OL got manhandled, particularly the interior OL. That was poor recruiting by Jeff Quinn (and Hiestand in '18). Who hired him?
The receiver group is all around non-existent. That was poor recruiting by Del. Who hired him?

Kelly's mismanagement of the roster is a big reason why we have horrible OL play and zero receiver depth or talent. Two major reasons why the offense is an unholy dumpster fire. He also decided Rees was the guy to run the offense after Long was let go.

FACTS!

Much to Amy Coney Barrett's chagrin, ND ended their season in the first trimester.

I just talked to Amy Coney Berrett. She said dump Rees and Freeman and get some of that Trump NIL Money and go hard after Urban Meyer.

 

[PigtownIrish]

Our DL coach is a big, big problem.

Tommy Rees is weis 2.0. He calls the game for the team he should have, rather than the the team he has.

This. No one on DL making plays. And we can't contain anything. Every play outside is there for the taking.

 

[yankeehater]

The O-Line is atrocious....can't run or pass block.
I cannot believe how slow the D-Line looked when their QB escaped the pocket, and they showed the wide field with three or four of the linemen chasing him. The announcer literally commented next how the QB is not known for his feet, yet he outran everyone with no effort.

 

[EvilleIrish]

We haven’t ran a single RB screen.

 

[PigtownIrish]

We haven’t ran a single RB screen.

And barely use Tyree.

 

[T-Boone]

we don't seem to have line backers. I saw Marist stop and let some guy run past him for 30 yards. He literally stopped.

 

[NDMatt91]

And barely use Tyree.

If I were him I'd hit the portal after the season. He has an NFL future and his potential isn't being maximized here.

 

[arahop]

If Tommy goes then HH needs to go too

Football has changed since Harry was good 8 years ago. He's cashing in and riding off into retirement. Pussy play up front on OLine and Dline

 

[du Lac]

If I were him I'd hit the portal after the season. He has an NFL future and his potential isn't being maximized here.

Agree. Unless they hire Fickell, I’d encourage most of our good players to hit the portal.

 

[yankeehater]

Please stop recruiting QB's who are not tall enough to throw over the linemen! Anyone have a count total for batted balls at the line of scrimmage?!?!

 

[Dale]

Cross doing the post game. I guess Foskey, Jayson A, Justin A, Bauer etc weren’t available

 

[IrishTusker]

Much to Amy Coney Barrett's chagrin, ND ended their season in the first trimester.

She could call a better game than Rees.

 

[Bluto]

Why did we turn down JT Daniels?

Didn’t want to get the poor kid killed?

 

[rtrn2glory]

All the momentum from the past four years is officially gone.

Back to ground zero

 

[du Lac]

Cross doing the post game. I guess Foskey, Jayson A, Justin A, Bauer etc weren’t available

They should transfer or sit

 

[rtrn2glory]

Said this in the GameDay thread but BK knew what he was doing. He's an ass hole cuz he was the cause but he saw the roster we had coming back and was like I need to get out now while I'm still a commodity.

 

[PigtownIrish]

Cross doing the post game. I guess Foskey, Jayson A, Justin A, Bauer etc weren’t available

They didn't show up for the game either
