pride, they still can go 7-5 even with Pyne at quarterback. But I have no evidence that either one of these 2 things will happen. Rees wants to be a genius and Foskey, Ademalola, Luifau, and Hart are all preoccupied with their draft status. The same shit happened on defense in 2013. In 2012, Nix and Tuitt were beasts. In 2013, they came back and sleepwalked through the season. I felt as though Hamilton also did that last year to some degree.
almost singlehandedly in '13.
Not sure wtf is up with our DL - is it Golden's scheme or Washington's technique - but they have not played up to last year or even close.

in CFB.
Agree on the players. I was concerned the moment I saw every Summer picture was with Foskey in one of those concussion bonnets. I get the point, but when you start playing safe, you start not playing.

our offense can barely sniff 10 points!!!!!
get their heads screwed on straight.
With the exception of the Michigan game, the defense did decently.
The offense sputtered all too many times that year, since Tommy Rees was the QB, and the easiest way to slow down or even stop cold, the offense, was for someone to call a short zone defense, with an occasional zone blitz.
No real medium or long range downfield passing threat, no threat from the QB to at least scramble for a few yards, etc.
Three of those four losses were easily winnable.
Fast forward to 2022, it looks like Tommy Rees is trying to turn Tyler Buchner into another version of Tommy Rees. There are very few downfield passing plays called, it seems.
Of course, this may all be a moot issue if Buchner is badly hurt...

It’s on Freeman and Rees for not trawling the portal to have gotten someone like they did last year.
When he gets sacked he usually has little space to try to get away from that sack. He is hit on just about every throw.
Not accurate, no pocket presence, run first guy.

They were airing pressers with a few select players and Marcus. Michael Mayer said that they run the ball in practice over and over with great success. He said that everyone knows their assignments and executes those assignments. Reggie Brooks then added his analysis, wondering if they run these plays going 1/2 or 3/4 speed, which is not the same as game speed. He feels they are soft from lack of heavy hitting. If what Mayer says is true, something is not translating from practice to the game.
