I can see us using two TE a lot this year with Langan and Bowman who seems to be pretty big and strong and a solid pass catcher. Actually think this can be a very successful set up considering Langan is very versatile. There's a heck of a lot you can do with these 2 tight ends, and a very good back like Sam Brown.
It would be an improvement this year if the MVP of the team and who kicks the football is NOT our punter as in years past.
Just watched the Giants game and was thinking this exact same thing. This will help Gavin a lot and I hope and expect to see a lot of this.
If Long will be good then Jackson and Brantley should be productive (or at least draw attention from the D) this season.
Bob Toledo was a first yr coach at Tulane. And he brought his horrendous team to Piscataway, and smacked Greg around. Tulane only won 2-3 games that yr too. Never underestimate Greg's ability to lose. He is not difficult to out coach
Nice try. But the Tulane embarrassment, was before the Army game. We all know Greg has been embarrassed, and out coached a million times. Whether it is losing to horrible Tulane teams, or getting carved up by 3rd string quarterbacks. Never underestimate he's ability to lose, to anyone
Smacked around??? The score was 17-14. Absolutely that was a game we should have won,but giving up 17 points in a three point game isn't exactly being "smacked around". We also outgained them by over 100 total yards. I also believe that might have been the game when Tom Savage was hurt and we had to put in a true freshman who had thrown a total of two passes against FBS competition before that game?
We have some real winners for fans, or are they just trolls? My ignore list proves to be useful again.
Yes… jerzeyguy’s post is the one I was attempting to answer. If these morons are going to post about Rutgers at least know the facts. That year was over the day Eric’s injury occurred. For those who remember that 2010 season Schiano ‘s mindset was on his player… it was a brutal time for the team, staff, fans and college football.But idiots like him will always post negative reply’s regarding Rutgers. Same as several other regular posters.
Johnny Langan can beat a LB to the sideline (4.7 40 with good hands) if the LB is trying to keep inside leverage although the QB needs to have touch and throw it early. Has anyone ever run a draw play with a two TE set? I would try it as it would give Samuel “L Jackyouupson” Brown a chance at finding a seam so he can stretch his legs out a bit and get downhill.
When a first yr HC brings his lowly and undermanned squad, to your home turf, and takes care of business.. That's smacked around -- in the head coaching department. Yes Dodd played, but he was not outplayed. This was a classic, Schiano coaching loss.
Your posting was to gloat on here #1. Try every fourth / fifth post to at least post something other than slamming Rutgers, Schiano and telling us something we all know since 2015 … we haven’t been good but we will still show up .
Thank You DJ Spanky: as for any RU fan around at the time realizes the actual facts matter. The final 6 consecutive losses did the season no good. The tragedy still is haunting . Say what you wish about Schiano ( and I don’t compare other HC) This so called shitty game day coach has been through more than enough bad tragedy episodes. Maybe because having actually known Eric’ s family his grandfather and uncle through work then watching him play ball in the township I realized why I like Greg Schiano warts and all. It’s the fact Greg Schiano has actual empathy and compassion something we all should work harder at in this life.
Theirs nothing to gloat about. Obviously you didn't know the Tulane game was weeks before Army. You tried to spin it - as the loss was bc of Eric's injury. I never slam Rutgers. Im just the one guy, who is actually honest about Greg
i spun nothing …it was a period where we had some serious medical issues 2004 -2010. I see you as a jerzy clown who gets his rocks off on anything negative involving Schiano and Rutgers sports . You ’re a board troll. You will be back at any loss close or wide. Just make sure we see your posts when we play well and perhaps pick up a few wins. Have you ever told Greg how you feel face to face?😎
Bob you make some good points. I agree with some of them.
Yes it was easy to fumble the games which were close together . This poster goes with the usual troll posting. “ I never criticize Rutgers.” He’s only letting everyone know he’s calling out Schiano when other fans and donors don’t. Sure Jack Ass let’s go with that … you never answered my question so you’re like another so called Rutgers supporter here. Did you EVER confront , ask or speak with Greg Schiano on your concerns with his inadequate coaching ? The guy has coached during his years at PSU, Miami , Rutgers ( 32 years old) 11 years.HC at Tampa Bay and admits he was not ready for that. Then goes to Ohio State 2-3 years. I believe was offered to join Belichek at New England , gets screwed out of HC job because of rumors at Tennessee . Then first turns down Rutgers then accepts the RU job for a second chance which everyone knows he will work his ass off. And still jerzy clown and some others hate the guy, claim he sucks but the overall records show otherwise. He has been back now into year 4, … after 6 -7 years of being totally inept on the National scene known as the B1G he still is showing through staff hires, recruiting , player development and trying to raise the NIL $$$$ we desperately need. To disparage the guy who we saw succeed here once , I’ll continue to believe he can get us to a better than decent program. Ask his former players those who have gone on to post college careers if he sucks? Yes he’s stubborn , tough and been known to micro manage but he is just what we have missed.
Yeah not sure why so many trolls on here lately . They act like fans of RU but clearly they are not . They are actually fans of other teams not sure why they waste everyone’s time.
That and Bowman is bigger/stronger than the linebackers he's going against at 6'5, 265. So which TE do you put the safety on and which do you put the LB on? Creates a big matchup probably for the defense.
The 40 times I found on Bowman are very similar (maybe a just smidge slower) to what I found for Langan. Bowman is listed as having gained 10 pounds recently though so he’s probably at least a full tenth of a second behind Langan’s 4.73 ish but Bowman’s a huge target.
I went to a practice, and KCand his position coaches were on one side of the field, exhorting Greg:
Agree, Flaherty was a great hire. The interview with him during Spring practice was outstanding. If anyone can shape up the Oline,it’s him. He is also a major plus on the recruiting side because kids want to learn and play for him. Johnny Football is a major plus for us. Versatile, tough and good hands. We are fortunate he came back. Predict he plays At next level.
