I guess we made Elon look alot better than they are. Their result at UNH surprises me.

Tribe had a bit of a moral victory there too.

Guess that bus ride from the Bronx to New Haven messed up the Rams.

Looks like we will be an underdog in our own stadium to an Ivy League school.

This is where we are........

Maine won the CAA and was an FCS semifinalist.

That’s where we are....

Any word if Noah Yates will be playing for Yale or Spiders? I think he has football eligibility left.

Two years' worth, probably. Free PhD!

We are likely to be double-digit dogs in the next six games.

I think that #9 has the skill set of a great pass catching tight end and #5 is actually more of a play making slot. What the team is missing is a true WR.

The coaches all over the place with the TE position. Sometimes the TE is a single-back TE, sometimes an H-Back, and rarely as a flex TE. They have the personnel to have a Flex TE. A flex-TE is lethal to defenses. Right now, defenses don't need to worry about the TE because they know he's almost always blocking.

True. More importantly, we need the TE to be more effective in the run blocking game. Defensive ends are in our backfield sometimes before the ball is handed off.

Has anyone suggested this to the coaching staff? It sounds legit to me, but I would like to hear what they would have to say in response.

If you go back to the first 2 games and watch what was happening Coll was blowing people up and sealing the end of the line of scrimmage, which allowed for big runs. Don't know what happened at Elon but he was in for 1 play and then stood on the sideline wearing #72 for the rest of the game. Now you have film on the UR offense and any DC sees #90 on the filed they stack the box because it's going to be a running play. Durden's answer to this is to have Coll block one way and run the ball away from the side he is blocking. You still have everyone on the defense up close looking for the run so it's easy for them to overload the line and make plays. I read people on here talking about how bad the OL is in the running game. Not their fault when the defense is stacked to stop the run and there are more people to block than blockers (common sense, you would think). Even the holding calls on the OL are from English's indecision. There is a reason he was 3rd string at AF for 2 years. He has happy feet, holds the ball too long and is slow when he finally decides to run. Not to mention his arm strength is weak. He actually bounced a couple of 10 yard passes in the UAlbany game. Mancuso is a turnover machine but is far better than English at the position, especially when he decides to run. My feelings are if you are going to give up on this season and risk your job by going 2-10 then play the freshman. Why save his RS if you might not be here to coach him. Not to mention what a 2-10 season is going to do to recruiting. Back to the TE issue. This Coll kid was the VA 6A First Team All-State TE last year so you know he can catch the ball. You need him on the field to block so throw a couple of quick hitters to him over the middle each game to back off the LB's and that will open up the running game. You also need to run the running backs more. I can't believe any kid would want to come to UR as a running back watching this offense. The bottom line is Durden is bad. No team that doesn't huddle up should be taking a full play clock to call/run plays.

Some of that is because the designed play is setting the TE up for an impossible block unless they hold.

someone from the Coll family or Salem is back on line.

 

[Under Center]

Point is there is only two targets on the field (sometime he'll throw to #15) with #10, needs to be more! Defenses are ending up with 9 in the box during a run basically because they don't see the TE as a threat. Hence more target threats open up the run game. Someone asked why Richmond has trouble running the ball, it's because there's a free man not covering the TE because they don't feel like they have to. Want to stress out the defense, start throwing to the TE and gaining yards. #85 has caught two passes. I don't believe I've seen the ball thrown to #81. Make the defense see them as a threat. Exploit matchups. It will open up the running game. Maybe it's the QB fault? Maybe he's choosing not to throw to them?

Why isn't Durden calling plays from the box? Seems like a disadvantage to me.

He's coaching the QBs.

That explains a lot.

Braithwaite,Lacy,McMair,Ross,Bobby M on sidelines.

Satterfield,Richardson,West,Wood in box.

Satterfield is not a slouch-rookie,for sure.

Our passing game is nonthreatening, so our running game suffers the consequences.
