It's year 2, these kinds of things shouldn't be happening. Every player should know the playbook inside and out. Honestly wish this staff would place a little more emphasis on things like knowing the playbook rather than nutrition. Knowledge of the playbook and schemes, etc. is going to have a far bigger and more direct impact than nutrition could ever make. When you start dictating things like diet and you still see mediocre and crap performances all the time, it's a good way to get players second guessing the coaching staff and losing the team.
You are connecting things that are not related in any way. It’s not a choice between nutrition and knowing your playbook, both are important. How in the world do you think that utilizing proper nutrition is a detriment to knowing the playbook?
With something like nutrition, you're never going to get full buy in no matter what you do. With nutrition, it's very easy to cheat and get by doing the bare minimum. When players are used to doing this with nutrition, you don't think they would do the same thing with learning the playbook? When just as much emphasis is placed on nutrition as on knowing the playbook and players routinely cheat on nutrition, they're likely going to cheat on studying the playbook too.
facts and excuses are different things but also can be the same.
I thought the same thing. Frost quote on the wr seems to maybe indicate this as well.
That one interception was clearly a bad read by either the QB or the WR.
wade? Im not good with names abdula took 2 years, still haven't got suh's last name down.
Other teams have been just as impressive as Ohio State. Oklahoma, Georgia, LSU are all at that level. You've got Alabama at #1. Clemson has struggled a little bit early, but you know they'll be ready to go come playoff time. OSU has a good chance of making the playoffs, yet they have a very tough schedule this year and could slip up. OSU has been very impressive this year and along with a few other teams may have narrowed the gap with Alabama and Clemson. But they are a long way from national title favorites.
3rd best odds right now, +450, behind bama (+200) and clemson (+225)
I seriously don’t know what your getting at. Could be Wandale, I guess, but he hardly fits the mold of a fullback, like your mystery guy.
I wonder why. Right now they have on the roster:
I agree, there needs to be a lot more accountability on knowing the playbook and knowing your assignment. It's not just the receivers either. The O line doesn't know their assignments a lot of times, especially on blitzes. The qb doesn't make the right reads on zone read plays. I've hardly ever seen Martinez audible a play if the other team is showing blitz and the called play is going to get stuffed before it even starts. On defense, the linebackers don't seem to know their coverage assignments a good chunk of the time and I see a running back slip out into the flat with nobody accounting for that. The safeties and cornerbacks have blown assignments at times too.
