Raiola

I haven't seen them drop easy balls. We have to scheme them open and I'm not sure Satterfield is able to do that. Raiola hasn't been willing since the Illinois game to throw 50/50 balls to them either. They're big strong guys who aren't going to outrun many DBs. Dylan needs to give them a chance to make plays.
Maybe not drops but the first two INTs were balls ripped from their arms.

Where’s Carter Nelson?

I'm over Banks, not quite completely out on Neyor yet.

I wish they'd insert Bullocks and Bonner in at WR... They're better at blocking at least. Seems like our offensive style wants to attack the perimeter more than down field (between an the screens and jet setup stuff). Blockers are needed in that case.
Unfortunately I don’t think Bullock is the answer. Outside of his double block against Purdue, he has been a large part of our perimeter blocking getting blown up on the pass plays at the LOS.

Passes behind the LOS

I hear you, but I don’t see Satt making adjustments… it’s the same behind the line / at the line of scrimmage passes that opposing teams are jumping instantly because they know it’s coming. That will tank production real quick.
Benning made the point this morning that quite a few of those lateral passes were "look at me check downs or audibles". They weren't the primary play call.

So you really think they sat players who otherwise were healthy enough to play ? Ridiculous ! We got every break ? Oh please,they didn't call one single holding call on them.The crap the refs pulled on that non first down call was horrendous.The non catch on our first series was blatant PI if not it was at worst defense holding.They couldn't run the ball and even gave up trying on their left side.Half of their yards came on 3 plays and only had 11 first downs.The 2 scoring opportunities in the 3rd. quarter hurt along with, AGAIN, questionable play calling, especially in the 4th quarter.If you think they weren't interested or could have thrown at will then you're a fool.If they would have tried to just drop back and sling it 30-40 times Howard wouldn't have lasted the entire game.The crap ass Big Ten officiating definitely played into the outcome of the game.Say what you want but I truly believe this team will win 2-3 more games and possibly win out.
