Another bad sign,players chirping.

I have never seen anything like the Janarion Grant situation. Do players often gripe about not getting enough touches? Yes, and not infrequently. HOWEVER, that always happens when a team has a surplus of playmakers. RU doesn't have that situation when Carroo is healthy, but much less so now that he's banged up and has played less than a half in the last 2 games, and Rutgers still can't get Grant touches ... that is pathetic, and all one needs to know about Kyle Flood and associates.

It would be an interesting project (for someone with a lot of free time) to compile a compendium of "All of the 'All You Need to Know' Things About Kyle Flood".

"If you really believe that the focus has to be 1-0, then that has to be the focus and that's the only way to ultimately achieve whatever the greater goals on,'' Flood said, drawing on his 1-and-0 philosophy as the Scarlet Knights (3-5, 1-4 Big Ten) look to snap their two-game losing streak.

Flood said while the goal of qualifying for a bowl game is "discussed in the offseason,'' the one-game-at-a-time approach kicks in once the season begins.

"The only way we can do it effectively,'' Flood said, "is to put our entire focus on being 1-0 this week against Michigan.''

well shit what Kyle going to do when he realizes the team is 4-7 and 1-0 wont get them to a bowl game

you mean to tell me that they don't talk about a bowl during the season especially now..if true, he is a bigger bumbling fool that I thought

We are too busy establishing our dominant pro style run game.

Bleedin - what's really sad here is that if we had any semblance of a passing threat, our running game may have worked. On our first two series, when Wisky for some reason was respecting the pass, our running plays gained good yardage. It was only when they put 8 in the box did our running game flounder.

This is what happens when you're offense is in a ditch and you stubbornly and stupidly forge ahead with what's not working while you have a big arm QB, who could potentially open things up, standing on the sidelines waiting for the insanity to end.

You can only go on for so long before it caves in around you. It's caving in around Flood, but God bless him, he's sticking to his guns!

Have to admit can't stand watching laviano try to throw anymore. No zip or anything.

I'm so sick of that 1-0 talk...

The 1-0 stuff is coach-speak, and more like high school coach-speak to be honest, probably taken from his mentor the great Vince O'Connor. Problem is this isn't St. Francis Prep.

The real rub with the "1-0" stuff is that it's not just unbelievably repetitive, it's the number of times that Flood and Co. seem completely incapable of figuring out how to go 1-0.

Rutgers - with Flood at the controls - does not "scare "anyone ...
(Norfolk - got check / knew deal ... Kansas - in freefall ... Indiana - should have worried & didn't)

Flood is absolutely NOT one of those coaches that Bum Phillips would describe as -
"He can take his'n and beat your'n and take your'n and beat his'n"

Flood is like the diligent but uncreative son who inherits the family business - keeps the doors open, does the things that they always did, follows the traditional process - but has no vision, no road map, no sense of how to beat the competition ..... and slowly the business declines as he dissipates the organization's momentum equity.

I agree. I've said for years that we need to establish the pass in order to run. Our run game isn't as good as we think and certainly isn't good enough to run against good teams on telegraphed run plays.

Perfect analogy

Put FAMILY on the back of the jerseys. That should fix it. Or tweet keep chopping a bunch of times. Either one should solve the issues.

Because they both mean so much to the recruits and fans.
