Ciarrocca has definitely been a big upgrade.

Case in point was Monangi’s long TD - which was a perfect play call. Ciarrocca had Washington go in motion away from the running lane right before the snap, leaving Monangi with a clear lane to the left sideline with only 1 person to beat for a 55 yard TD. It seemed like a simple play call, but he turned half of the field into a 1 on 1 matchup with our best player having the ball in his hands.

Even little things like on the GW TD and having Monangi as a lead blocker rather than making Monangi sell a fake and go around the tackle. Without the lead block, it’s a 2-3 yard gain. With the lead block, GW ran untouched into the end zone.

That type of schematic utilization of putting our best players in the right opportunities to be successful has been missing here for a long time - maybe since the Fridge - but is exactly the type of play calling we’ve seen other teams use against us.

Getting the right talent is critical, but putting them in situations to succeed is equally valuable.

Rumor has it that the head coach at Scotch Plains got into a fist fight with an assistant coach. Also this was not the first time he got into an altercation with an assistant coach but this one turned violent.

Heard from a Union County AD.

1. He fought with his assistants during the week and multiple walked out on him. Forcing him to coach the JV game
2. At the JV game he berated a trainer over not having enough water.
3. Scotch plains was playing Elizabeth in soccer on adjacent field (he teaches at Elizabeth) parents from both schools witnessed his antics and reported to both schools.
4. He was immediately removed from duties from Scotch Plains (he did not resign) and when he showed up to work on Monday was put on suspension from Elizabeth because of parents complaints.

Someone has to be a deep threat. Either a TE or another WR needs to be able to occupy a safety or force them to keep a safety in the middle. Right now we only have 1 deep consistent threat.

We need long back badly (heard he will be).

I think its ok to point out and "celebrate" obvious improvement - like the lack of offensive penalties - something that has plagued us. I think its also a bit disingenuous to say "same record as last year through 3 games" when those 3 last year did not include a B1G team and DID include Wagner.

Bye Bye Miss American Pie. You are not worth the time or effort.The problem arises from past history of being only on the board if there is something negative , poor play, Schiano or a scandal. Enjoy the game this week.
