RUTGERS vs Maryland Game Thread :

[Block R]

Nothing like guys tripping over their on feet unabated to the QB...ugh

Some would have you believe it's because they're coached that way.

 

[G- RUnit]

Cali
You know we are as clueless as we are untalented

After the initial contact by Cioffi, not a damn player stayed in their lane.

Exactly!! Coffin only guy close!! Rugby tackling!!! Horrible coaching. Nobody in lanes

 

[IMARUFAN]

So far, Ash's big accomplishments were eliminating the Horse Video, eliminating the signing of the Alma Mater and he got rid of the new-age uniforms & helmets that the players loved.

Can't wait to see next years "improvements".

And eliminating scoring

No athletic ability on this team. It's horrific.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

My Lord they're out in full force today.

 

[BeantownKnight]

We already have 2 sacks today!

 

[RUwoz]

Jesus Christ 2nd and 18 and of course they convert

 

[RUsince52]

18 yard punt.....

Still better than -83.

 

[Block R]

3rd and f'n 15 and they run it straight up the middle for a 1st down. I might have to change the channel.

 

[Caliknight]

Our LBs make me laugh.

 

[RUwoz]

The camera man is horrible at following the ball

So are our LBers

It's coaching and talent but here's the thing: if the talent is poor, and it is, even the ghost of fvcking Vince Lombardi isn't going to be able to make much of it. You are still going to stink. Ash and his staff may or may not improve but with the players we have we were never going to be anything but some degree of bad.

while this is true, what is concerning is this season did not move the needle at all in thinking Ash is the right guy, what it does is make it harder and makes it up to him to prove himself in year 2 and 3. All the fans have right now is blind faith because there is no evidence yet. Its like we have to wait for the trial to begin year3 but the opening evidence looks damning. Things can change but if anyone says they are not concerned with how badly we are prepared each week and how we are practically the worst team out of 128 in the country in alot of aspect of our game, they are lying. That being said he will get to year3 to prove himself

 

[IMARUFAN]

I wouldn't blame the coach if he pulled the team off the field and simply forfeited the game.

 

[RUaMoose]

Thank God they spent so much time learning how to tackle "rugby style".

Yes and that extra water and midnight snacks are really paying dividends too.

 

[OC Knight]

We have nothing. We are a slow 1aa team.

Along with coaches in over there heads. Hopefully they get better next year.

 

[GoodOl'Rutgers]

OMG we had 2 DBs getting tackled downfield onthat 3rd and 13.. no flags.. wth

 

[G- RUnit]

My Lord they're out in full force today.

Sadly team isn't. Neither is coaching.

 

[bac2therac]

My Lord they're out in full force today.

I think people have good reason to be..its Maryland, basically in the same boat as us the last few years....I heard everyone laugh at them and downplay them yet they are going to a bowl game. At least we dont have fans making fun of no one in the stands as if that is what a program is judged on

 

[BeantownKnight]

Every team that beat us this year should send us a bouquet of flowers and a thank you because we helped make them all bowl eligible.

I have to question if part of the "preparation" issue is just a matter of the older guys simply not caring at this point. The dropped passes, missed tackles, etc., are mostly guys who have been around for a while and are ending their careers. Even Darius looks completely uninspired out there right now. Just gotta get this "old blood" out of the system.

 

[Caliknight]

immediate playing time for anyone with talent.

Heard he is pushing for an extension for Drew M.
Brilliant ! [roll]

 

[Block R]

At least Darius seemed fired up by that sack earlier. And I and others have been criticizing Cioffi's play but he did make a nice stop on 3rd down a minute ago.

Memo to Mehringer:

Maryland gives up 7th most sacks in all of college football with a terrible line... yet still find ways to be creative with their playcalling and score points.

 

[Extra Point]

The Maryland coach is smiling too much.

 

[brgRC90]

If you have a lousy coach who is bad at game day coaching but good at recruiting that's better than a lousy coach who is good at game day coaching but bad at recruiting. At least the first type of coach leaves you with talent. So far it seems like Ash is good at recruiting, especially when you consider the headwinds. That beats our previous coach, who was good at neither but especially bad at recruiting. Ash can improve his staff, in theory anyway, but a bad recruiter is always bad.

 

[zappaa]

OMG we had 2 DBs getting tackled downfield onthat 3rd and 13.. no flags.. wth

We should do the same thing

 

[Caliknight]

Their coach is a moron for not going for that.

 

[Rokodesh]

Can we replace Anthony cioffi with the goal post?

 

[zappaa]

Dumb Terp coach

"creative"? They've run the same play about 10 times already.

 

[Extra Point]

The Maryland coach made a big mistake by kicking that field goal.

That presumes we make them pay for it.

 

[AreYouNUTS]

We MIGHT have the worst OL in the nation.

 

[RU31trap]

I feel like I'm watching an episode of Charlie Brown coaching football

 

[RUin2WIN]

This O-line routinely misses its assignments.

 

[drewbagel423]

He knows we won't sniff the end zone today.

 

[ArminRU]

Gio sucks.
