Did They Leave It All On the Field?

Re: Did They Leave It All On the Field?

The question was if they left it all on the field, aka gave it their all.

They did. They worked their butts off.
They also made a ton of mistakes and it sucks to lose.

Jeg-

Honest question, b/c I don't know football coaching staff issues/responsibilities and you have more insight on that. If you were head coach, what kind of changes would you make?

Re: Did They Leave It All On the Field?

Man, I've never quite heard Farley sound like he did on the postgame today. He sounded really really really frustrated and upset. You could tell it was just painful for him to even talk.

He kind of kept harping on saying certain decions they shouldn't have made and he wishes they could have them back. I kind of got the impression he was pissed about his D in the last series, and was pissed a bit at the offensive playcalling today.

Anyway, thats what it sounded like to me.

I liked what I saw from ZD after his shaky start....he played really well down the stretch I thought.

yeah, his TWO passes to E.J. Jones were awesome

Re: Did They Leave It All On the Field?

I really don't get the Zach Davis lovers/Grace haters. ZD completed 45% of his passes today with 2 picks.

If pat's % was that low, some of you people would want him hanged from the Campinile.

QB play was inconsistent the last two years, whether it was Pat or Zach.

Unfair...Oordt stopped running and tried to just jump for the ball on the first one. The second one was a falling down / possibly interfered with receiver and the ball just kind of stuck in the defender's hand. Though ZD looked very good for a guy who never got a chance to throw the ball all year...even last game when he was in ALL 4th quarter. He was poised under pressure at the end and made some good decisions. He also made some mistakes, but can't expect perfection from him in that situation..

You aren't seriously comparing completion % between a two year starter and a guy who got thrown into the game today for his first REAl game experience all year, are you?? I don't hate as much as many on PG, but...really??

I wouldn't have minded seeing ZD get the start (whether it had been this game, or earlier in the season). It just bugs the hell out of me how some people will do whatever they can to hate on Pat, but then put on the rose colored glasses when it comes to Zach. Shoot, some of them were HAPPY when Pat was lying injured on the field.

Oh c'mon. Zach played 3 whole games last year, and has seen some action this year as well.

He also takes a ton of first team reps throughout the year too. Lets not pretend like he is a player that was just harshly thrown into the fire with no preparation.

The demise of Pat Grace in the seconf half of the year was really dissapointing, but I expect more from Zach as well.

Re: Did They Leave It All On the Field?

Sheik, why are you treating him like he is a true freshman QB with no experience?

He has been in the program for three entire seasons running this offense, and has had extensive playing time for a backup QB.

Like I said, I expect more out of both our QBs, period. It doesn't matter who it is. I don't care if you are the backup and have to come in during the middle of the game. That is their job. We need more out of that position, from whomever it is, to win big games.

One of those literally hit our senior TE in the helmet... Or did I hear that wrong?

Re: Did They Leave It All On the Field?

We will get our chance to love Zack Davis, one thing you have to remember is that QB is a Rythm position. If you don't get "most" of the practice snaps, and consecutive starts (2-3-4 games in a row) it is really tough to feel comfortable. Zack has a big thing going for him, he is the guy, to replace the guy, that replaced the guy.

I don't think there is any question that Farley will take the loss due to the defense because he is a defensive guy and once we had the lead he will accept the loss a "defensive" one. However, there is no question that offensive cohesiveness and play calling are a HUGE problem with this team. We just don't have an offensive "game plan" or "style" it changes week to week. Of the coaches that are left on our staff that went with TA to Kansas, who was the first one to leave Lawrence, un-wilfully?

The game reminded me of a definition of insanity:

Insanity is where you keep doing the same thing but expect a different result.
