It was a logical offensive plan. I could never understand Rees’s aversion to Screen Passes to counter blitzes.

I listened to The Independent again. Matt Fortuna has no idea what’s going on and his knowledge of the team is bad.
Fortuna is a national reporter and that is fine. But for a ND specific podcast, you may want a guy who specifically covers ND imo

I think BK asked too much of his QBs. When the offense was simple the first time starters seemed to grasp it well and execute. When he tried to complicate it and add more responsibility it crushed most of them. It seemed like only the heady, high IQ players like Rees and Book could handle the extra thinking and management, although I'm not sure the offense improved in the stat column.
the last part is what strikes me under BK, especially book. Although book could run the offense, he was always very scared and tentative to pull the trigger. It seemed like that increased every year, despite when he just threw it up to our big Wrs when 1-1 he had success with Claypool, then skowronek and Mckinley. He just wouldn't do it.

Thoughts?
I kind of like that ND did exactly what it was supposed to do, and then some, against two far inferior opponents, even though many national pundits were saying Navy would keep things close, yet we are still being overlooked.

Fuel that fire for the young men. This team looks focused and motivated. Good mindset to have heading into your first true road game in a pretty tough environment.

Anyone find it weird that LL is often on at the same time as IB? I thought they were all bros.

LL is horrible. I use to like Shaun Davis a little but dude really screwed the pooch with Justin Scott and seemed to burn all the bridges. Pretty sure he doesn’t even appear on IB anymore.

Anybody been making it to Pete Sampson's Friday liveshow for Athletic subscribers? I know that it's postponed this week due to travel issues, but I can't see how people are supposed to access it live on a normal week.

Driskell has had to a lot of dancing for man his size to avoid having to actually say anything about Shaun and his hero Malik every time they say something unbelievably stupid on their podcast and it gets brought up on the IB board.

Has he looked at Chief Supermarkets? Maybe the deli counter has openings?

Pss. They also hired John Brice, who provides actual content...
Lol where did you glean the “I’m not a conservative.”

Pretty much, and Brice has been excellent. Just found it interesting/funny he was let go and airing his dirty laundry

Who is reporter at all the press conferences that locks in on the dumb theme of the day? Yesterday it was fucking "how many hotdogs did you eat?"

That guy annoys the piss out of me.

Love John Brice. Even though he sounds like a Bama fan from Chicago calling into the Finebaum show.
