Doesn’t matter if you love or hate him

Ward HAS to stop taking tackles on 4th down instead of trying for a contested catch, run, int, penalty. How many times has he done this? I can recall at least 5 this season. It’s ridiculous you’d even have to teach a college player not to do that let alone a high schooler. And on other downs, making the wrong the decision a few times is better than trying to find the perfect decision everytime. Paralysis by analysis. A few times he could have got the first down with his legs, thought to throw, tucked it, ran backwards, took a hit/fumbled around and threw it out or got sacked. This isn’t NFL blitz.

Pretty physically talented
Between the ears he’s a roller coaster ride though

Colts lose to Browns after controversial call

GMII throws for one TD and runs for two in a back and forth game with the Browns.

He was ok - had a strip sack in the endzone for a Browns TD, lost another fumble and threw two picks. Not awesome, but still managed to put points on the board and put the Colts in a position to win.

Went to find the highlights and the entire ESPN highlight package (on the app) is all Browns. Every single clip. And then you have the bullshit illegal contact followed by the PI call and... you have to wonder what the f is going on?

Tuel, in 2012, Halladay, Falk, Minchew, Gordon and Ward

All have looked confused against a defense that rushes three and drops 8. It came to light in Leach's first year against BYU.

UCLA and Arizona have coaches who coached in the NFL. They specialize in making a team left handed, IE take away the oppositions most comfortable thing to run. Arizona is a 4-2-5 team. They went to three down lineman. SAme with UCLA. OSU and Wisconsin run what they run. That's why we beat them.

Our oline has never been good under McGuire. Have him coach TE's if you want. But Dickert's money will be made...assuming we remain Power 5 (huge assumption) upgrading his oline coach. Maybe it isn't McGuire, maybe he is great. We just need different ideas. I would give the oline coach at Oregon State the opportunity to come home if he wants and he at this point gets a lifetime contract.

I have heard that there are whispers of transfer portal stuff etc. Of course we are losing our best defensive players in Hicks and Smith Wade. Not sure who else on that side other schools would want.

And if I see Thorton split out on a running back in man coverage one more time I am going to start wonder what is going on.

Other teams have started to scheme at our linebackers and scheme away from Hicks. And I am surprised Richardson hasn't done much our last three games.

Our oline struggles. Beresford in Boise and Kingston at USC might have helped a little.

And Dollar and the rest of the TE's haven't blocked anyone all season.

A question that should be asked how well are our receivers being coached. Are they getting open at all. Hard to tell just from a TV camera angle.

This guy fits right in with the board. That was one jacked kangaroo.
