1.) Examples? We can all hearsay on what we think is going on behind the scenes. Instead of conjecture on what we don't know and might never know, we can believe what our eyes are seeing instead. Passes into double/triple coverage, passes underthrown, overthrown, thrown behind, thrown to the ground, thrown to the defense, fumbles, phantom sacks, lack of pocket presence, etc. We have some common denominators to consider. Gattis is not here in 2024, Dawson wasn't here in 2023. Lots of personnel turnover. Seems to me you get to pick between TVD and CMC, so who physically touches the ball every offensive down and has been given a dumbed-down playbook of which 1-of-5 plays are called? Pundits year-round can voice how sad they were to see TVD with his 3rd OC--like anyone give a ****. The only crime these coaches have committed (outside of the kneeling controversy) is keeping Mr. Bimmer in the game.
2.) Two points; our team does not have a defense issue. In fact, one of the tragedies of this season will be that we had a championship-caliber defense that lacks an offensive productive enough to take this entire team to the playoff. This might have been our best defense in a long time--probably even better had they not been asked to carry this team all season long. Second, Morris was the better QB on the field that night and from what I can tell Armstrong was runner-up. Obviously, they were good enough to defeat the Canes by double digits, but they were a threat in the air and on the ground. We had to go one-dimensional because there is no trust to go up in the air. Pour one for Mark Fletcher's legs.
1. None of that precludes creative play calling. In fact just the opposite. TVD being cheeks means we should be dialing up more motion etc to create easy plays. You’re coping here.
2. I wasn’t bashing the defense. Our defense has been pretty stellar and the only bright spot this year. What I mean is that their OC with less talent against a better defense was able to muster up enough points for the W. Even though TVD sucks we should be able to scheme 21 against a crappy NC State team.
