Those are not fans.

Punks with bad attitudes. Haven't done schitt, so they look for it in others - for something to criticize.

These are kids - young men - and while the coaches are fair game - the players should be off limits - and if some dipschitts continue to deride and attack our team - how about banning their sorry asses and clean this operation up.

Lol our blocking was night and day better than it was first game... you know olineman aren’t going to stonewall an entire defense every play for every game right?? Stop trying to find more bs excuses as to why our quarterback has struggled scoring touchdowns.

LG should never be asked to block a blitzing LB already lined up on the right side who never gets touched. Horrible concept

It happens quite often on some play designs in other offenses but for Donaldson in particular that’s a hard block for him to make

I agree. Still a jag. He was terrible at tackle. He's a decent guard. Being the best offensive lineman on this team is like being the smartest ******.

I don't know if you're being serious or just jaded by the fact we're 0-2, so you're down on the team as a whole.
Donaldson would start on a majority of ACC teams Oline. Fact.

Donaldson would at start at any of the Big3 schools. Another fact.

He's not an elite or great player, but he's definitely not a "jag".

Until we have someone better to fill his shoes, this topic is irrelevant. If he is too slow, that sucks. But who is his back up and what are their shortcomings that may not be speed but some other deficiency altogether that may put us in a worse position? Ultimately, if Donaldson can continue to work on his craft (and not be foolish enough to declare early) we will have gotten 4 years out of this kid and perhaps he could be a stepping stone to a new generation of Canes OL that are Greer suited to play the position. Ripping the kid with no better option is a giant waste of time.

This..Jarren has missed opportunities to cash is. He’s been solid but he has much room for improvement. I’ve said it b4 a couple plays and we are 2-0 and all these crazy threads would be in the other direction. Our fan base is so Black-White, no Inbetween.

Usually though, the teams pulling guards in pass pro have smaller and more agile OL that are more the zone blocking type. That's just not who Donaldson is.

It's a huge ask to expect a power LG weighing over 330 lbs. to pull and cover a blitzing LB on the other side of the formation on a pass play. Enos needs to understand the strengths and weaknesses of his players and rip that play right out of the playbook as far as I'm concerned.

Thats not true.

But it’s an honest discussion, sir. We all thought Donaldson would be an all American caliber guard by now, and he’s far from that. It’s a big concern because we need the OL to play better, and he was supposed to be one of the anchors, if not THE anchor
