THIN Margin of Error

It’s pretty obvious that the way the program is built we have a very thin margin of error against BIG10 comp. Specifically:

1. Our talent level combined with the offensive schemes we run require that we execute close to perfect to be effective, we keep it simple, relying on repetition with few assignment errors and penalties. Counting on improvisation by superior athletes is not expected, it seems plays for the other teams success at least occasionally comes from QBs “making” plays.
2. Depth- Obviously, just not enough talent ready for the BIG 10, but in addition since the basic offense we run requires lots of repetition, just not enough reps for back ups with the ones, especially on the Oline.
3. On field/locker leadership. The culture that GS has created is a tremendous positive, the leaders exemplify the expectations and take charge on the field by their words and play when the going gets tough. When virtually all the leaders are injured, as was the case today, especially on defense, there didn’t seem to be anyone to pull the team together.

Coaches outsmarting themselves

The coaches need to stop outsmarting themselves and when something works keep doing it. Today for example when they switched to press coverage across the board they didn’t score, we got a sack and got the ball back. Guess what, we didn’t do it again. Same thing a few weeks ago. Kyle was running like crazy first quarter, second quarter he got 2 touches. Also had a game where offense went “hurry up” without substitutions and it was effective so they didn’t do it again .

OT: 2024 New Jersey Light House Challenge

How about that 2024 New Jersey Light House Challenge?

Over the weekend I drove all over your awesome state and checked out 15 light houses and life-saving stations. I thought I was familiar with all of New Jersey, but I got to some really nice areas that I'd never seen before. I started up North at Sandy Hook, came down the coast all the way to Cape May, and then cruised westward over to the Delaware River for several over there.

You have a cool state going on here, Jersey...
