What do you think about his 2024 expanded CFP, new TV deal, SEC speed, etc… argument as to why ND should focus on ‘24 over ‘23?
And Davis Sherwood looked great. He is technically a tight end but kind of a H Back tall fullback type
Sorry didn’t like his offensive schemes, didn’t like that he didn’t get a transfer QB last year when we clearly needed one and I think he came off as arrogant. I also didn’t like that he was retained before Freeman was installed as ND’s HC - likely because of his dad being in the AD’s office. I hope that clarifies and all of which are JMHO.
I didn't hear him say those specific things but his focus on 24 argument is a valid argument that I ultimately don't agree with. I don't think ND has the talent on defense to make the play offs this year. So I would love to see young players get an opportunity over older guys especially at LB.
You didn’t hear him say those things?
That’s a galaxy brained take if I’ve ever seen one. What’s the point in bringing Hartman in in the first place?
Yes please!
Was impressed by him. Some analysts have been saying he may be why we dont take a 2nd TE. He provides enough depth
Reaper is misrepresenting Hyde here. He flat out said Hartman will be the starter and he was MVP and Buchner was bad.
I’m not misrepresenting.
Huh..retained because his Dad worked in football office. Wow
The funny thing about Hyde’s rebuttal is he says that’s what Balis is for & the ND players will get faster in the off-season…as if the SEC teams don’t have S&C staff & their players won’t get faster too? LOL
They must read the comments because tonight Hyde kept showing his glass of water over & over again.
Sorry maybe I worded it Wrong with Hartman we are a title contender With Buchner 3-4 losses
Someone else mentioned it during the game, but it would've been nice to switch Hartman to the blue team in the second quarter.
I thought the same. Hartman definitely had better protection than Buchner, while Buchner probably had more weapons on paper...and yet the Gold team got all the yards. Still, Angeli didn't really move the ball as much as Hartman once he came in behind the same line, although Greathouse still performed. Would have been nice to see how the QBs did once flipped.
Buchner struggles with setting the protection.
This is how it looked in the stadium, too. I also really liked how Hartman is able to evade defenders, remain in the pocket, and keep his eyes downfield. He did that nicely a few times today and ended up with completions.
Greg Flammang brought up a great point in the post game Hit N Hustle. He said Buchner is the type of QB that you have to build a gameplan around for him to be successful. He can't just go out and rip a defense based purely on reading defenses like Hartman can. Part of that is natural and part is all of Hartmans experience. I'm not off the TB in the future train as I think he can still be really good with one more year of development, but Hartman is the guy for this year. Full stop.
Pretty similar to Rees offense. A lot of jet sweeps and throws to the flat. But better execution with Hartman down the middle of the field. I thought it was super vanilla though and not a good data point to evaluate Parker yet.
