Rutgers vs Howard / GAME THREAD

[Caliknight]

Watching other teams who employ similar schemes as us is refreshing. Most have a QB who can run, which is a huge piece of this offense.

Janarion Grant being Janarion. And Laviano with the block. Maybe we put another 100lbs. on him and make him an OL.

 

[rufeelinit]

That was all grant. Turned loss into TD.

 

[RU205]

Why does Ray love Laviano so much ?

 

[Scarlet_Monster]

Laviano actually stood in and got leveled. I expected him to turtle.

 

[rutgerspaintrain]

Laviano throws blocks better than he throws passes

 

[miketd1]

Laviano FB..?

 

[drewbagel423]

More Grant, less Laviano.

 

[ru75]

there is our play maker and a great block by Lav

 

[jerseyjustin]

As I said in another post: then how do you explain Howard's dominating performance so far? They recruit better? Highly doubtful

Or maybe Howard was never expected to be in this game and are playing with house money? I'm guessing you've never played sports.

Oh my god the out of sync arm waving is utterly embarrassing after a great play from grant

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

on paper is the key to your premise, but on the field is all that matters

did you really just say that?

hahahahah, sorry my friend, you have zero credibility now. Talk about myopic!!!

 

[ru75]

It's professional courtesy, he is a former RU QB and feels his pain

 

[Mr Magoo]

I'm a big fan of Chris Ash but even Flood recruited talent better than the players on Howard - though not by as much as I thought.

I'm ready for the B1G blowouts but we are at home against Howard. This is the one game on the schedule that should be "no-contest".

 

[RUSK97]

Feels pretty noce now with the shade.

you are one funny dude!

 

[Caliknight]

I agree with everything you said. However, Mehringer could do a better job of tailoring the offense to suit the players he currently has.

I am not sure. The QB is the most important position on the field. In a scheme we use, it is even more so. The QB is your primary playmaker, running and passing. We don't have the most important piece which you need to run his scheme. As such, it would require essentially a new scheme. And that isn't happening.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

if you truly believe we dont have a talent issue i dont know what to tell you.

no we don't have a talent issue, not to the level of what we are seeing here. Coaching sucks here and if the coaches can't figure out to get the most of the players they have, we will continue to struggle

you guys make me laugh, as if any of you actually have a clue. We are struggling with Howard people, should we start tacking down the ovbvious issues on basic things like tackling and blocking up front????

God we have a clueless fanbase

 

[D1ESEL44]

OMG Laviano. Pull that ball and run. The DE crashed hard and the entire right side was open.

Good post - here in lies the problem. U Dub did it last week. Howard this week. That is Laviano's only read on that play. If the DE is crashing hard you keep it. You don't give it to the back.

 

[drewbagel423]

Good stop, D.

 

[RUtix4me]

Time to see gio for a series

 

[ru75]

great Rutgers bounce, 7 more coming here

no, we've seen these schemes work without the required qb before, coach needs to adjust the playbook and calls to the talent on the field.

remind me, aren't we struggling vs Howard?

 

[Blitz8RUCrazy]

we are screwed if grant goes down with injury. we have no other playmakers...

 

[RUtix4me]

Why does Ray love Laviano so much ?

He has been all over him...he gave hime credit for the block no big deal

 

[ru75]

35-14 was my prediction, we still have a shot

Fair point. I just meant that maybe some Pro Style concepts could be incorporated into the playbook. Maybe it's not possible, I'm no coach.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

I do love our backs however

 

[newell138]

What are the number of TDs passes per quarter for Laviano? Must be one of the lowest in the country

 

[ru75]

I do love our backs however

yes, they always were the most talented with Grant

 

[Caliknight]

Could this team be better coached? Sure. But they are well coached. The biggest indicator of that is penalties. This team doesn't get many so far.

 

[rufeelinit]

Martin is running well this series but I am at a loss regarding no hicks. I just confirmed he is on the sideline in uniform.

 

[miketd1]

You are a good fan.

 

[D1ESEL44]

Anyone notice Tariq Cole is not in the game?

 

[vm7118]

Nice play from Laviano. Hope he can build some confidence. And that he stops sucking.

 

[ru75]

dull calls here

 

[ru75]

nice thinking by Lav

 

[Scarlet_Scourge]

Touchdown!

28-14 Rutgers

My heartburn is starting to feel better.

 

[D1ESEL44]

Martin is running well this series but I am at a loss regarding no hicks. I just confirmed he is on the sideline in uniform.

He has been playing on specials. Made the tackle on the return man in the last kickoff.

 

[MYHATINTHERING]

that was a very good play by lav
