griffin is close to a smile, but i will let the banhammer pass over you this time.

i expect we'll be in the same boat next week after a 3+ td loss to papa johns (never forget)

It makes little sense to play Nick Thomas and Conley the rest of the year. Just play Bowry and Otto Hess over them. (btw Hess had one of the only legit pancake blocks, albeit on a backup FSU DE in garbage time, that I have seen a BC OL make in years) For Thomas - he's just in over his head, and it's not worth it to invest so heavily in him when you have Bowry/Cline (I suspect it will be Bowry) and Trapilo as projected starting OT's next year. And for Conley, he isn't that young anymore, and while he may look the part, he just hasn't gotten even halfway to being an ACC OL. At least for Allick he's undersized, and been bounced around between OL and DL. And he still plays better than Conley!

the OL playing time priority list should be (health obviously being a prereq):

Trapilo - in limited snaps he held up pretty well in pass pro vs FSU. Of course we throw the ball in 0.5 seconds lol
Allick - he's actually built like a Center. Needs to get in the weight room in the offseason
Hess
Bowry
Kendall - he's been better than Week 1 debacle, but he looks even more overmatched against P5 than the most of our guys thus far.
Ness
Dirstine
Conley
Thomas

Next year you could see an OL of Mahogany, Trapilo, high quality transfer, and two of Allick/Hess/Bowry/Kendall/Cline. You give yourself a lot better idea of what that last quintet can do (and can't do) by giving the healthy ones fairly equal reps against Clemson, NC State and Notre Dame, etc.... I just don't see a scenario where Conley and Thomas start 2023 as starting OL for BC unless if that entire quintet transfers, and we don't get good replacement transfers.

For the first time, I can see discomfort in his body language

our coach was giving out tshirts in the mods and walked in on a fire haflazio sign.

Hafley may be in over his head. He certainly made a terrible hire in McNulty to run the side of the ball for which Haf is clueless. However, I don’t think he is an asshole.

He deserves to feel pressure because he gets paid millions not to fuck up (and just got a raise for his agent taking advantage of a spam request for resumes). He kinda burned goodwill and then didn’t deliver.

It will be interesting to see what he does from here. I again am of the belief that McNulty will be demoted and Shimko will be in the booth after the bye. I also expect, barring some sort of miracle turnaround, he will bring in a young play-caller with whom he didn’t work with at Rutgers. If he doesn’t do that, he will go down the road of Spaz and just coast a couple more years of terribleness before jumping back to the NFL before he is fired.

Conley is so bad at football. The fact that he is taking up a scholarship is disgraceful. The fact that he is a starter ought to result in firing everyone associated with constructing this roster.

Zay Flowers has been so good this year. Blocking too

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

Jurkovec fucking sucks. Zero awareness.

[miutbc]

Wtf was that. My god

[durkcal]

Bryce Steele may look good in street clothes etc..., but he is the least impactful defensive player we have

he gets the kind of playing time reserved for a coach's kid

[durkcal]

could be important injury here

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

Jesus Christ. Is Jurkovec just not giving a fuck anymore?

[durkcal]

Mark Richt telling it like it is at the half

[Supahfan99]

Well now that was an interesting half. Phil can probably expect to get a low score on the Wonderlic.

Also Elijah Jones lining up offside on two successful goal line stops needs to be mentioned. This team plays like they all have advanced cognitive issues. Is this difficult to line up on the right side of the ball?

Keep running the ball and mix in the PAs and we can win this game.

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

This game is like watching 5 year olds play t-ball for the first time.

[Supahfan99]

Also can someone tell me what is up with the Zay PRs? Every single one bounces in front of him and announcers never say the punt is short so is he just lining up 15 yards too far back?

[durkcal]

perfect throw

[Supahfan99]

Jet sweep on 3rd and 1. Fire everyone.

[durkcal]

Herzlich has a big crush on Franklin

Herzlich has a big crush on Franklin

Franklin looks like he could be a decent player

[durkcal]

Defense has that last Rutgers drive look.

[Supahfan99]

Winnable game here. Can Phil deliver? Blocked XP looming large.

[durkcal]

I don't trust our defense here

[LawyersGunsnMoney]

How the fuck did they win this game? Louisville blows

[hansen]

LETS GO EAGLES!

Nice gritty win
