Navy Postgame

[Dale]

My only hot take is that it reminds me of the Purdue game from last year where Ash head his head up his ass -> Freeman was animated in the halftime interview with common sense stuff about how the defense was being called -> then stuff "magically" started getting better.

Freeman was in position group huddles from the very first drive and the three subsequent drives still happened. He also said in his presser earlier this week the same quote.

When you guys say “debt is paid” what does that reference? Thanks

We agreed to play Navy till the end of time for them helping to rescue our university during WW2.

I believe the reason the O always feels "meh" despite consistently putting up points is that we are never doing creative shit where it feels like you out-chessed them. Like check this out from NW:


We aren't doing that. We aren't scheming up some trickeration or whatever. Instead, it's lots of vanilla stuff done efficiently and then usually we break one. It feels grab bag, and often there are lots of tight windows on the throws.

You don’t even need to be super formationally diverse or do crazy crap like that. Just run a few bunch formations and do different stuff out of it.

I never see us run something with the intent to set the defense up for something else.

Bettis curl and go TD? Gilbert RPO slant?

If anything Denbrock sets things up to a fault. Most schemed wide the hell open TDs are calling a one off that you think will break the other teams D. Denbrock’s entire style of play-calling is about setting up and diagnosing how the D reacts.

the people on here that think CJ played bad / is mid do not watch a lot of college football. Even if he isn’t perfect, idk if there are 3-5 other QBs I’d take over him.

More than a game: The WWII bond that forever linked Notre Dame and Navy

Spanning 98 matchups and nearly a century, the annual meeting between the Fighting Irish and Midshipmen honors a promise forged during World War II.

Wow. Really cool tradition.

 

[allenm5333]

Definitely showed some new shit on O. Not always successful. But new

we said as long as you want us on the schedule we will play you
there is no end in that
anyone says that the debt is paid is a honor less piece of shit

Besides the 3 play sequence of the 4th down stop I don’t think the defense played significantly better down to down in the 3Q. They a bit more awake but 1st drive gave up 17 yards out of a 1st and 20. Navy should have gone for it. Third drive QB fumbled it and they passed on 3rd and 7 because the game script warranted it. First half they just run for it again for sure. The 3 play sequence was good but Navy had some unforced errors and the offense took over the game script.

 

[Irishnuke]

What an incredibly awful take.

I was in the Navy for 9 years so I think I'm qualified to say fuck those dirty players. Not the entire team, the dirty players.

Because wanting to play Navy makes you honorable? GFYS

Debt is paid. They take to many cheaps-shots. Go sing in the Navy and you will be okay.

 

[IRISHDODGER]

ND's schedule is straight ass...Wisky got punked by Iowa 30-0. PB Angeli beat ranked SMU, and BC got beat 47-2 by Duke.

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

Unless we beat Miami I have to agree. But the same is true in regards to Indiana and others.

I have never had such little respect for a service academy than I do today.

Navy has always been chippy and engaged in extracurriculars. Today went WELL AND BEYOND that.

Frankly, if I were Marcus, I'd tell the players to shake hands and leave the field. Don't lock arms with them and sing the alma maters together.

As a service member myself, I felt immense shame and disappointment at the complete lack of class and integrity from those Midshipmen.

Future officers, what a fucking joke.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Anybody seeing anything on Brewu. Did Marcus not have a post game press conference

 

[IRISHDODGER]

context?

 

[Notre Dame Joe]

ISD believes that Brewu and Bowen will be out for an extended period of time.

Putting any big game a week after Navy is always a bad thing.

I honestly thought after last year's game, Navy's coaching staff and players had changed. Today was a disaster. Navy reverted back to playing their old chippy way. There were a few holding calls missed too... Pretty blatant ones.. I will say the Irish got away with a couple as well but not as obvious as Navy.

 

[Dale]

Army, Navy etc should have dedicated ref crews that know how to call them for penalties

go to North Korea and lick a certain crazy mans feet if you want; you would be good at it

 

[Huntr]

context?

he said that to the sideline reporter going in to halftime

Pretty sure he meant that someone really screwed up a play he should not have

I have a feeling your stay here will be bumpy and short-lived.

 

[GTB]

we beat Miami and run the table and they will be licking our shoes

 

[GTB]

I have a feeling your stay here will be bumpy and short-lived.

And I should care why?

 

[IRISHDODGER]

Right, I saw that in real time. But what was the context “You can’t start calling things that your guys don’t know how to execute…”?

 

[TNUtoNotreDame]

And I should care why?

Well tough guy I imagine behind that keyboard you are 7 ft 400 pounds and all muscle. So of course you do not care

 

[BeatSC]

Well a lot of teams have been playing down to their competition and that’s what we did here for a half. In order to demolish Navy you need to force a few turnovers and we got zero.

Carr can not be a pass first QB. Made some good throws today but also missed a few easy ones. Our second possession he got greedy and tried to thread the needle instead of taking a wide open check down and set the tenor for that 3 and out. Was a horrible time to look like a backup. We are a run first team and should never give up on our run game.

Only a couple of teams look better than us right now. Georgia and Miami. Need to get as many players back for next week. Would take KVA over Bowen. Would take Tae over Brewu. Good to see that Bettis looks more polished than any of our starters and he and burress got nice separation.

Talich and Sneed played pretty good and since we had little passing against us Grey was ok as well. Defensive penetration was not impressive. James and Walton in and Williams bless his soul is out. Carr needs to show up and show out for once in a big game. Scouts should look at that. He needs to come back for another year.
