The Good:
1.) The game is over.
2.) Other WRs are contributing more and are more than serviceable. No. 4 is a keeper. He's got a TUDE and just needs more playing time. Find the soft spots in the zone instead of always jostling with the DB.
3.) Running game is slowly improving. No. 45 has a nice running style. Keeps his arms in tight and head up. Just needs more touches.
4.) Jack Sullivan. Yea, he made a stupid penalty that factored into the loss. However, he was only one of a handful of defenders that took this game seriously. It was a frustration penalty because the rest of his team, with the exception of a few, were playing like crap. He does deserve some type of correction for that incident, but give me a team full of that guy and I'll kick your ass every time.
The Bad:
5.) No. 87. Your NFL stock just dropped. You just gave these scouts something to add in the 2nd column. Character issues. I can see you haven't been to Locker No. 3 very much. Next time you want to jaw-ass an opponent, wait till the game is over and you won. Then, hunt his ass down and show him the scoreboard. Forget about throwing kisses to the ugly Cuse' girlies. Work on your NFL Act when you get there. Not now. Hopefully, you won't have another game like this ever.
6.) This was a lousy opponent. Not even a decent MAC team. Played uninspired and sloppy football. Even Rick Neuheisel did not think much of your thug ball.
The Ugly:
7.) Officiating. These guys had no control of anything. Couldn't find the microphone switch at times. But good teams win in spite of thus crap.
8.) Special Teams & ST Coach. Keep this up and this board will be full of "Fire Downing" posts circa 2003. Your kick-off kicker is fine, but forget trying to coffin corner the pylon. He's not Ryan Succop. This has been the 2nd or 3rd kick-off OB only 3 games into the season. FG kickers will miss FGs. No big deal. But your protection on punt returns is awful. You receiver is getting blasted more often than not. You have a funny way of asking the official about what happened after a play. Waving your arms frantically and emitting 4-letter words is a funny way of asking a question. Remember the 2003 "Fire Downing" cry. You're not far from it.
9 & 10) To the HC. Did you really prepare for this game? Your presser sounded like you accepted defeat. You weren't around for this in 2005, but the 2005 Brandon Kirsch Broilers are back. 2 gut wrenching nightmare losses in 3 games. You're 2 away from tying and 3 away from setting a new season record.
Consolation 11.) Secondary coach. You have 1 NFL DB that busts his ass every time he plays and several other lesser talented guys that bust their ass and are more than capable of playing the position. But teach them how to turn around and look for the ball. Take a page from the Lou Anarumo book on how to defend a WR. When the DB turns toward the ball he can lean his ass as hard as he wants into the WR without incurring a flag. It works. Lou didn't get the DC job at Cincy by teaching his DBs how to faceguard a WR.
