2022 Boston College Football

[DomingoOrtiz]

Clive Wilson, Jameer Jones, Reynolds, Witter, Mahogany are out with injuries.

What about Nigel tate and cj clinkscales? I didn’t see them On the field and someone said they were not dressed for the game?

These are just the guys that I saw for sure were out, I am sure there were others. I did see a DL out that was either 98 or 99.

[Eaglekeeper]

The d-line looked gassed in the first half, players with their hands on their hips. Hafley is players coach type. His teams don’t seem to be in good condition and they get a shitload of injuries.

Go Eagles!

[DomingoOrtiz]

Prior to the coaching changes, a source within Yawkey told me that the OL would be: Trapilo-Dirstine-Kendall-Mahogany-Cline/Conley. But every photo, video, report from spring, Spring game and August camp had Conley as the LT and Trapilo as the RT. I am not questioning that Trapilo-Dirstine-Kendall_Conley-Cline wasn't our best OL combination but why were they not practicing since the spring?

[DuchesneEast]

BC was better when we just had a dominant offensive line, solid qb and decent RB.
Same on D, good D-Line, a great LB and a crappy secondary.

The complaint was always that we couldnt recruit the skill positions, but that formula worked. Give me 5 6'5 310lb offensive lineman and they will move mountains. It might not be exciting but at this point I dont care. I want to win.

Full disclosure: I wanted to bring the Air Raid to BC because I thought it would put fannies in the seats.

Did it though? 8-4 over 6-6 = "worked" now?

They went 9-3 in 2004, 2005 and 2006. I guess we can attribute that to Matt Ryan.
9-4 in 2002.

I thought we had a higher ceiling some years, but I would sign up for 3 years of 9-3 right now.

Lots of those 8 win years had horrible WTF losses, but rarely a big win. Get rid of that loss and you are in the hunt every year.

It's not much better today but those schedules were dogshit. Just a shitty shell of the Big East.

2005 and 2006 were our first 2 years in the ACC. Showed what a good OC means to a team.

It seems the Mahoganyless offensive line, namely its impact on Jurkovec's presence/play, will determine how the season goes. It seemed to me like the line underachieved these past two years, but evidently the NFL disagrees if Applebaum was hired to coach Miami's unit. DuGuglielmo's career path seems like it's been declining since the Patriots fired him. Same goes for McNulty for that matter.

Hafley was obviously very disappointed Cignetti's offense couldn't withstand Jurkovec's injury more effectively, and going forward it seems he really wanted NFL experience leading the offense/QB and the line. I wish I knew and understood more about the dynamics with the line. I feel like Lindstrom in particular was overrated. On the other hand I thought Mahogany was their second-best offensive lineman (given Vrabel's injuries). I'd hate to rely upon Conley as the LT unless he's increased his quickness substantially without losing strength. In the end I hope there's a ton of quiet work going on now, both in conditioning and in understanding the schemes and calls.

Cline is the 5th starter, not sure if OT or OG and not sure if the staff knows yet either.
One of the staff's biggest concerns going into the 2022 season was the depth of the interior OL. They offered two mid-majors (Charlotte U and the other from the midwest) from The Portal to provide depth. And then Mahogany got hurt. Funny that we haven't brought in a transfer as it is much more appealing now that we are down a starter.

one of the guys we offered went to FSU

2 games in, one turnover

Too bad Cline didn't go to FSU

another cryptic post from Mahogany on the twitter machine.
Also, Trapilo practiced today but was limited.

[HJS]

Alex Lindstrom, Ben Petrula and Tyler Vrabel…

Does anyone have insight into why they passed on coming back for another year? None were drafted. Lindstrom is on Dallas’ practice squad, but the other two are essentially out of football. There are teams like Wake full of 6th year players. Yet, these guys basically decided to quit football instead of running back. At the time, they knew Mahogany, Zay and Garwo were returning (as was much of the D). In retrospect, I wonder if this is was an indictment on Hafley, Shinkovec, OC or OL coach?

[durkcal]

I think they were fully subscribed to the overdone hype around half decent players in the program. How often have we heard TV announcers doing the BC games regurgitate how good Alec Lindstrom was? All ACC team voting is basically a referendum on how hard your coaches push for you to get honors. And freaking Ben Petrula got like 2nd team All ACC for 2021! If something doesn't reveal how much smoke is being blown up the asses of these guys, then nothing else does. By the way, have you seen how much Christian Mahogany loves himself (social media, declaring himself "coming back")? This is the problem with TOO MUCH positivity. Guys that haven't even done all that much can barely fit their heads through the door.


My take was that :

Lindstrom - was never as good as people said because he can't run block. Probably some of that is due to our lackluster weight room program. It still would have been nice to have him back.
Petrula - always sucked, and it was good to see him go, should have happened sooner
Vrabel - is the guy i was surprised to see go. He was a decent Tackle in 2020. 2021 was blown up by the injury in the Clemson game. He came back a few games later, but was never right. He should have come back.

We've become a soft program. Mentally and physically. We're more soft than we were in the worst days of Daz and Spaz. It got like this under Henning.

[DomingoOrtiz]

1. Vrabel is on the Falcons PS IR;
B. Petrula was out of eligibility;
III. Pretty sure Vrabel and Lindstrom declared before the OC and OL hires.

@ADavidHaleJoint
Phil Jurkovec has been pressured on 44.7% of his dropbacks this season.

Next closest in the ACC is Kedon Slovis... at 32.2%.

Jurkovec has seen pressure more than any other QB in FBS by 3.4 percentage points.

Serious question, at what point are the absurd amount of injuries (and not just this season) on Hafley?

I can’t go this far. It’s not like they’re all hamstring injuries.

It’s been a huge factor in this season being a disaster. Nearly impossible to win games with this OL.

[eepstein0]

A few general thoughts:

1. The lack of an OL has completely nuked this season. Until it’s fixed it’s impossible to win games.
2. Jurk and Garwo have become completely ineffective with said OL. They’d be better off with Morehead and the RB from Vegas.
3. They’d be better off running the offense they let Morehead run, but Jurk isn’t accurate nor has a big enough arm to do it.
4. The D actually usually plays fine, but eventually get gassed with the offense being useless.
5. Whoever coaches special teams should be fired. The fake punt was admittedly creative.

Jurkovec hasn’t been great out there this year but I think ARM STRENGTH has been the least of his problems.

Mahogany ruined his 1st Round selection shooting hoops at home in NJ while on break. Not sure how that’s on the staff. Broken bones during a game isn’t coachable either. When shit goes bad, you want to blame everything on the coach. But, there is no need to make shit up when you have the McNulty hire, lack of OL transfers into the program and Shinkovec’s continued playing time… all just sitting there as obvious areas of critique.

1. Mahogany can come back next year and regain his draft status.
2. I’d like to see what McNulty could do with an actual OL before writing him off.
3. Looking forward to hearing what a Jurkovec scores on the wonderlic. Best wishes to him after BC.

The coaching has been poor to mediocre, but it hasn't been a 2-10 coaching job. I think it's really hard to evaluate McNulty with this OL.
