Football GAMEDAY THREAD: Rutgers vs. No. 2 Michigan

[Rokodesh]

First play basically says Schiano is hoping to go into locker room just one score down.

You can't take deep shots in the situation from the 2 yard line

 

[miketd1]

Personally, I line up for a Hail Mary shot.

 

[njxchange]

throw deep outside of sidelines

 

[ClassOf02]

Yeah, don’t punt this.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Just punt it

 

[Rokodesh]

Third fielding mistake by Rochelle this year. He needs to be relieved of whatever his duties are.

Really miss Aaron Young

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Wimsatt should just launch it. What dumb end of half strat by Harbaugh.

 

[RU#1fan]

Is it my imagination or is Melton really struggling this year?

It’s reality unfortunately.

 

[RUTBAY1]

Rochelle is not the answer for kick returns. He may have a lot of speed and quickness but his decision making is not good.

 

[rucoe89]

He looks far from a NFL cb player.
Needs to improve. He got beat many times last week.

Melton is asked to do a lot, but seems like Longerbeam is more of a lockdown than Melton, though in fairness, Melton may be getting the tougher assignment. That said, if you want to be a Day 1 selection, you gotta have the play to back it up.

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

Just punt it

No you risk a block.

 

[Rufaninga]

Can't be aggressive from your 6 yard line
Easy to get turn over and go down further.

Get out down by 7

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

That was too close

Should have just punted it

 

[gef21]

Is it my imagination or is Melton really struggling this year?

We put him on islands, against teams best wrs, and no help. He's struggling because he is out on very hard situations to make our d better.

 

[mildone]

Smart call, coach.

 

[RUeric]

Rochelle is not the answer for kick returns. He may have a lot of speed and quickness but his decision making is not good.

There is no answer on kick returns because Greg does not allow players to return them.

 

[mdk01]

Too many mistakes. Can't do that against the big boys.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

Coach talking about Mish pick plays

 

[RUSK97]

Ann Arbor isn’t far from Illinois. Can the team drop off Rashad Rochelle at his home forever?

 

[RUTGERS95]

wonder what is being said on the lines per Greg

 

[SouthJerseyRU]

LOL Schiano with a low key shot at the Refs. "Stuff going on" = the Refs are screwing us.

 

[Ash_Hole]

I’m very happy with 14-7 at half against #2 team

 

[blueoyster]

Third fielding mistake by Rochelle this year. He needs to be relieved of whatever his duties are.

You call for the fair catch, catch the frigging ball...i am in a bar that has Michigan watch party going on...this kind of sh*t is going to get me killed!! LOL

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

The weak hold call was the difference of the half

 

[TonyLieske]

Considering Rutgers is playing against both Meatchicken and the corrupt refs I think being down only 7 points is a moral victory.

 

[Lerxst72]

I say start working pass plays. We lose by 7, we lose by 40... who cares. Going into,
"We've got the lead we're gonna run" mode isn't working against MU.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

No you risk a block.

Nah. The punter knows just quickly kick it.

 

[RW90]

Love the pearls of wisdom there. Greg was like just get out of my way, lemme just talk to my team.

 

[Danprusa_4]

we need a Miracle in the secon

We put him on islands, against teams best wrs, and no help. He's struggling because he is out on very hard situations to make our d better.

whether he’s struggling or not he’s not ready for the NFL yet he has to still prove he can lock them down on big plays.

 

[Jerseylegends]

Is keesawn Abraham still on the team? This may not be Melton's game..

 

[Plum Street]

What does schiano mean “not right “

 

[Rokodesh]

Melton is asked to do a lot, but seems like Longerbeam is more of a lockdown than Melton, though in fairness, Melton may be getting the tougher assignment. That said, if you want to be a Day 1 selection, you gotta have the play to back it up.

Not just day one, but if you wanna play in the NFL at all.

 

[Proud NJ Sports Fan]

What does schiano mean “not right “

Pick plays

 

[LotusAggressor]

Melton is asked to do a lot, but seems like Longerbeam is more of a lockdown than Melton, though in fairness, Melton may be getting the tougher assignment. That said, if you want to be a Day 1 selection, you gotta have the play to back it up.

You also have to turn around.

 

[gef21]

Stop blaming the refs. It happens.

We've missed an int, a field goal, a sack, and had a big miscommunication on a huge gain form them.

 

[Rufaninga]

Sideline reporter really getting the coaching scoop. (Paraphrase ) Greg, how do you adjust the offense in 2nd half?

Greg: We gotta keep playing ..

Thx coach

 

[Knight Shift]

Really miss Aaron Young

And they let Joshua Youngblood transfer out.

 

[rurichdog]

This is what competitive looks like.
☀️🌈

 

[RUTGERS95]

Need a spy on the QB

no, need the outside contain. wtf ar they doing????

 

[miketd1]

I think the offensive play calling is fine for now.

We have to shrink the game or risk hanging out the defense to dry later in the game.

The score is 14-7. Schiano’s goal is to keep it a single score game heading into the 4th.

So far, so good. This is exactly how Minnesota played with KC at the wheel.
