Ask Ahmmon Richards (bye week edition)

Q1. Do you think we need more out of our deep passing game? Is it because of injuries we’re not hitting more deep shots or just a product of Dawsons offense?

Q2. Which recruit during your time as a player do you wish we got that could have elevated the team? (Your injuries never happened in this alternate universe)
 
I know Ahmmon doesn't like the Thorton talk but question: Does he at least think when blitzing, Thorton should break down more once he gets close to the QB to secure the sack and not let the QB slide around him?
 
Why did AR say Meriweather “held his own” when he filled in at RT briefly for McCoy?

Answer: AR is full of it and Meriweather was awful
 
Question: Top 3 players currently on the injured list that we ABSOLUTELY have to have back by Nov 7th (ND) or our chances of winning will be tough.
 
There were a handful of plays vs Clemson where it looks like Mensah "missed" a wide open receiver. Is that receiver looking open due to the defense reading Mensah's eyes (holding the safety or reading a LB) or is that receiver actually open and Mensah's not getting there for any number of reasons?

Is there a counter play you would add on to the false pull tunnel screen that Barkate scored on? Seems like that is a go to play for Dawson. Similarly in 2024, Dawson ran a screen out of the quad diamond look and then against Duke, was able to catch their defense off guard and get a deep shot to JG3 for a td out of the same diamond formation.
 
Regarding the bye week.....

How is it different than a normal practice week? What are the keys to avoiding the post-bye week letdown we've struggled with the last 10 years
 
Can you breakdown what bracket coverage is, and tricks to beat it. Through the lens of Mali against Clemson.

I noticed it quite a few times in the Clemson game, but it’s sometimes hard to see as a layman.

Considering these two were his teammates.....pretty easy.

These guys aren’t coming on the show and burying guys they have to interview and see players families. Anyone with eyes could see Merriweather was awful at tackle. The only thing I don’t like is him talking like fans aren’t seeing what they’re seeing. Yes fans overreact but we also have eyes.

They've got to walk a fine line for sure, but it hurts credibility for anyone to say 71 was anything but a disaster at RT Saturday night.

We basically are saying the same thing, brother. Claiming that Merriweather "held his own" is demeaning to the fans....the people who watch and support the show.
