I think the lack of pass rush is by design

Agreed. They're playing to contain.

I wouldn't mind seeing Ausberry spy the qb and let the dogs get after him.

 

[tussin]

Also these uniforms are ass, as is tradition in the Shamrock Series.

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Turns out that Mukam starting is/may be due to the nightmare scenario

It explains how the offense won the short yardage situations, lol.

 

[Jeffwantpoppers]

Does the field look this bad for the packers during the nfl season?

 

[ACamp1900]

I think @ACamp1900 was spot on in saying that they're playing to contain the QB not to get after him.

It makes sense but time to get after it and trust your backers,… in my humble opinion

 

[greyhammer90]

Did any RB look decent? I thought Young showed some nice wiggle on that one swing pass but that's all I recall seeing positively.

 

[DomeFieldAdvantage]

I moderated my drinking for this.

I un-moderated my drinking for this after the 1st quarter

 

[dang227]

Maybe it would help if there were offensive assistants in the press box that can see what’s going on

I think some sort of white piping around the numbers would've made them ok. You just can't tell who's who.

 

[jerseyborn1971]

We have no star offensive skill players. Not one.

 

[rtrn2glory]

Was trying to avoid checking out this thread. But,

Offensively might be the least number of playmakers since early 2010s. Very concerning how much we lack explosiveness against a team that is at best 8-4. Better tamper down expectations.

 

[stpeteirish]

I’ve gone from wondering how much we’ll win by to wondering if we’ll win. Halftime adjustments please.

 

[ACamp1900]

It’s hard to judge this far, they showed little wiggle but the line didn’t give them much room to show it either

 

[Bane]

I wasn't expecting this gentlemen. Very disappointing.

This is who ND is under Freeman before the calendar turns to October. I'm not sure there is a bigger dichotomy in coaching I've ever seen in my life than Marcus Free in September vs Marcus Freeman literally any other month of the season.

I'm not dooming or saying we're going to lose or anything, but I wouldn't say I "expected" this, but I'm not really surprised either. Five years, I don't think Freeman has an answer for this either. It is what it is.

 

[FDNYIrish1]

Can this nerd help out Denbrock?

 

[irishjim]

Denbrock’s time has passed. He only looks good with freak athletes like Daniels and Love..but regardless can’t scheme against top teams

 

[SoIll]

We have no star offensive skill players. Not one.

Zero

 

[NumbersGuy0520]

Let it rip with Carr. Felt like he was starting to heat up a bit on the downfield throws.

All 2 of them?

lol but no I totally agree. Screw this risk averse bs. Trust our Heisman caliber QB. Our current offensive gameplan almost looks like a carbon copy of what we rolled out against Miami last year.

 

[ACamp1900]

They’re gonna lose if they don’t up the effort and fight,… period. Need a light switch moment

 

[Jimmy3Putt]

Did any RB look decent? I thought Young showed some nice wiggle on that one swing pass but that's all I recall seeing positively.

Imo, no.
James always dissapointed when given carries, but I really thought Aneas would be electric.

 

[RocketIsmail25]

Also these uniforms are ass, as is tradition in the Shamrock Series.

They're both so bad, lol. It looks like they let a couple of 10 year olds designed the uniforms. So shiny.

 

[tko]

Mike Denbrock

 

[SarasotaJoe]

We have no star offensive skill players. Not one.

Losing Love, Fields and Price take a step back…who knew? The surprising thing is the domination on both lines. The defensive line looks really small too

 

[Edge]

Best roster of Freeman era.

 

[greyhammer90]

I think some sort of white piping around the numbers would've made them ok. You just can't tell who's who.

It's funny because everyone complained about the navy numbers on green we did a few years back but this is way worse from a legibility perspective. I can't read any jersey until the angle is right and there's a glare on the number/name from the lights.

 

[Irish808]

MF should write in his notebook 3 screens in a row is a cardinal sin.

 

[calvegas04]

Is the manning academy run by a bunch of blind people?

 

[ginman]

ok - change of game plan - beer out - red breast 15 in

 

[MacIrish75]

Fine return. Now light it up.

 

[T-Boone]

Also these uniforms are ass, as is tradition in the Shamrock Series.

they are terrible. The first thing you have to do is make the numbers seeable. I dont even know what that colour is.
