    It used to bother me because I felt that they were betraying their teammates, coaches, the support staff that helped them with logistics and academics and The Flagship, now I'm numb to it, which is probably a good thing. 

    Unfortunately I’m still in stage 1 and it still bothers me.

    Anyone can find Schmidt's post game comments on YouTube.

    As to losing the identity he meant the running game and how that redressed over the season. Sawyer also said that in the last few game they couldn't get 6 yards running on first downs.

     

    A lot of regression with the offense late in the year. Play calling, QB play, OL effectiveness.  It all contributed to the downturn.

    No one told our player to do that. His mistake was he was running toward the punter and jumped up to block the kick and landed on the blocker. That is also a penalty. It looked worse cuz blocker upended him. Still a penalty on us.
    You tend to assume every mistake by a player on special teams is a coaches fault. It isn’t. Just in case you want to blame Kostich for the fake punt, he doesn’t make that call, even if he thought it would work. 

     

    Per Herald article Schmidt says they coached this point a lot.  He falls on the sword but.........

    "We've talked about those things in fall camp," Schmidt said. "You can't leap the shield. You could run through the shield. You can't jump over it. As soon as I saw it it, it was like you can't do that. We've got to do a better job of coaching that. It's obviously not something we asked him to do. It was in the heat of the moment."

    I will say it for the 30th time.   Unds OL is nothing special.  I know everyone here thinks they are the cream of the crop but they’re not.  That was a lot of the issue this year.  They never really got any push.  Z is awesome but quite sure even Z couldn’t move the chains today. I do agree tho.  He was given no chances .  Just like the TEs that we supposedly have.  The offense is just an absolute mess in every way 

    You are correct, the OL was pretty good at times but not special. 

    This was most obvious against the big boy DLs we played late in the like the SUs.  We really didn't move them at all.

    Kind of like when we roughed the punter in playoff game against Richmond.  When punt return team went on field they were told, whatever you do, don't run into the kicker.  Kid got caught in between and got penalty for hitting kicker and kept big drive alive for them.  

    Sometimes kids do stuff in heat of moment, trying to make a play.

    I don’t know for sure on Headings or Harris but I guess I would be surprised if they’re signing with us during this period. Think we would have waited for the release until all were signed. 

    Anything new on these 2?
