Yep.
Add it to the “this makes zero sense” list
Along with calling timeout on 4th and long in the 4th quarter with a special teams unit on the field, which our head elf has now done twice

Our supposed strength on defense is our front 4 (3).
How can teams hog collar our two studs in the Polar Bear and Ty Robinson for 4 quarters where we don't hear their name.
If they can simply man on man our two supposed studs we have problems.

Might as well blitz five on every 3rd down at this point, what do they have to lose?
It's not like that's a bold move. Most teams do it. We sit back and get picked apart.
Their overall performance wasn’t great but “don’t hear their names” isn’t accurate. Nash had a disruptive TFL on their running back (can’t remember if that led to a punt) and Ty had a game changing forced fumble.
They were holding, chocking, grabbing facemask and grabbing Ty’s neck all day
It makes sense because we have just learned how to kick field goals and protect the punter in the last month. Still don't have a return game though. I think it is clear that Rhule hired his buddies because he believes his teams work better when he is in charge and everything is cohesive, except it seems all of his buddies are tired and burned out, old and ineffective but he still finds it hard to get rid of yes men and friends.
It worked for Cosgrove for 3-1/2 quarters in Austin Texas against colt McCoy. Then our linebackers ran out of gas and we didn’t have a serviceable backup for Corey McKeon. Then Jamaal Charles broke off a 60 yard run and the game was essentially over.
In fairness they get 1/3 of our points. We haven't scored 20+ points on offense since Purdue.
Go back and watch the number of holds that came from their offense that were never called, not just the line but their receivers and backs as well, that was the only way they were able to keep us from making monsterous plays in their backfield which we spent quite a bit of the day in and yes our D was faster than their offense as for the most part when they got big chunk plays outside of their 2 TD passes we ran their skill guys down who were supposed to be really fast and caught em from behind including Bullock. We used a 4 man rush all game and mauled their OL. Plus you won't get away with blaming the defense for those 3 BS lucky ass plays that were game changers as those were not on them as all 3 were very well defended and those that are can shove it straight up their proverbial arses and don't have a clue as to what the hell they're talking about. People tend to convienently overlook stuff like this to fit their own BS narratives which is so far off the mark most of the time. This game was all on the offense as the Blackshirts gave them chance after chance to win the game, but the offense kept shitting all over themselves as when we got down on their end they couldn't score a TD to save their lives and why we had to settle for FG's, plus the blatant and intentional no calls for defensive holding, PI's and cheap shots most of the game.
