If you've listened to one you've heard a million. Both the questions and the answers.

"it’s not the call, it’s the execution" - AlbanyIRISH - 3:51pm 9/15/25 (34) [View All]
- Whole lotta returning players playing a step or two slower than they did last year. - Clem - 11:05am 9/16/25
- If the call is right, but the players can't execute the call, the call is not right. [NT] - DiscoRick - 2:29am 9/16/25
- Freeman's version of: "Get used to it" [NT] - clements2 - 7:15pm 9/15/25
- Sounds Kellyesque. Almost like absolving the coaches and blaming the players. [NT] - NDQuebec - 5:58pm 9/15/25
  - Playcalls don't matter when fundamentals slip. Missed Tackles, blown assignments reflect coaching - Turkish - 7:57pm 9/15/25
    - He was more nuanced today but when he says it's a lack of execution, sounds like blaming players [NT] - NDQuebec - 9:44pm 9/15/25
      - Understand the feeling. I hear play calls are not problem when fundamentals poor - Turkish - 12:26am 9/16/25
- A & M hit their dig route over and over - Mark - 5:39pm 9/15/25
- If you look at still photos of plays of the D During the game - salbam - 5:05pm 9/15/25
- he's repeating that mantra at today's presser [NT] - irish93 - 4:50pm 9/15/25
  - Coaches speak, coach speak, blah blah, blah. He needs to get off his rump and do something about his - DiscoRick - 6:00pm 9/15/25
    - And the media needs to stop acting like fan boys and ask - DiscoRick - 6:01pm 9/15/25
      - These are the only questions they ever ask. Press conferences are super boring once you pick up on - oldirish - 8:36pm 9/15/25
      - ... [NT] - DiscoRick - 6:04pm 9/15/25
- . [NT] - ndphysics - 4:31pm 9/15/25
- Is he channeling his inner Brian Kelly? [NT] - ndphysics - 4:31pm 9/15/25
- Scheme is great but D is out of position, gets no penetration and can’t tackle - still coaching [NT] - LanceManion - 4:03pm 9/15/25
  - Yes yes yes. Players who could learn last year's D suddenly can't learn this year's? [NT] - jrdjr84 - 6:03pm 9/15/25
  - Yep, sure is. Can't blame the kids if the coaches let them get away with not executing properly. [NT] - DiscoRick - 5:58pm 9/15/25
- Privately, it's, "Get your shiite together or I take over the D and hit the bricks." Pathetic. [NT] - faircatchcorby - 3:54pm 9/15/25
  - I'm betting it's not. Freeman seems to like Tressel ball. [NT] - DiscoRick - 5:56pm 9/15/25
    - I don't get this remark. If he liked "Tressel ball" Love would have had more carries vs. Miami - Turkish - 7:59pm 9/15/25
      - Talking about the D. And Freeman seems to have approved of this hire and scheme. - DiscoRick - 9:28pm 9/15/25
        Even D only, pretty aggressive under both MF and Golden - Turkish - 12:30am 9/16/25
        I agree Golden was aggressive. Not so sure Freeman is. Don't think Tressel would win one in 2025. - DiscoRick - 1:56am 9/16/25
      - Also, 2023 was ND's highest PPG in history, and we just scored 40 points (7 from ST, but still) - Turkish - 8:04pm 9/15/25
        Again, talking about defense. And the Miami game sure didn't look like - DiscoRick - 9:31pm 9/15/25
        Offense has only been really “run forward” last year - Turkish - 12:31am 9/16/25
        That's fair. He had Pyne/Buchner then Hartman. - DiscoRick - 2:01am 9/16/25
  - At some point somebody on D has to make a play. There were opportunities. - ELP - 4:39pm 9/15/25
    - You are right but coaches have to drill the fundamentals and put the players in position to make - NDQuebec - 6:10pm 9/15/25
      - I'm thinking MF gets heavily involved in the defense. Meetings, scheming, maybe even calling defense - ELP - 8:12pm 9/15/25
      - Speaking of tackling, I think Shuler got screwed and was attempting to make the same type tackle he - THEISMANCARR - 6:37pm 9/15/25
