Camden Price and Lou Hedley been the only consistent player down this stinky stretch
Our two minute drill takes five and a half minutes.What is the explanation for why when we are down in a game and running out of time not only do we not go with tempo, we actually often do the opposite? There was one game we were down with the ball late, yet if you couldnt see a scoreboard and were just watching the drive, youd think we were ahead and trying to kill clock. Literally. Huddled every play, got playcall in late, ran clock down to seconds on every single snap (once or twice even almost got a delay of game). Every single snap. This was 3 games or so back, I forget which one now. Maybe GT.
The crazy thing is I've see that exact same thing under the last 3 staffs now. This seems like the definition of basic Football 101 here. I still can't wrap my mind around why that happens. Is it confusion on the sideline? Are they just not able to get plays in? I mean, surely, the staff doesnt WANT to go slow in those situations, right?!? I legitimately don't understand.
It does! But why? WHY?!?!?!?Our two minute drill takes five and a half minutes.

Now THAT's what I call job security."Fourth game this season...that was fireable for all involved"
Talk about fanboy hyperbole! No single game is fireable for anyone, absent a violent or otherwise inappropriate altercation, but this is the FOURTH game in a single season where EVERYONE involved should be fired.
***I agree that Diaz should be feeling substantial pressure going into next year. And my comment isn't a complaint: I understand CIS is not a real news outlet, and targets the bottom of the barrel of our fanbase. My comment is just an observation on how laughably over-the-top that statement was.
It’s not just about losing; it’s how we’re losing. Down two scores deep in the game & u’re still just huddling up, and bleeding 20-25 secs off the play clock, calling plays that ain’t working or driving the ball? Biggest indictment I’ve seen thus far.
