McCloud abused on touchdown drive

[AtlAtty]

I rewatched FSU’s lone touchdown drive and McCloud was beaten e-5 times on that drive; either because he fell for fake handoffs, was beaten repeatedly by the tight end, missed a tackle and was generally lost. If you watch the touchdown pass, McCloud went with the running back even though there was another defender there, and never saw the pass. He was literally running the wrong direction for the entire play. Blades had the contain but the linebacker has to come from the inside to make the tackle.
McCloud didn’t hurt us against FSU but I am worried that better teams with better offensive game plans will pick on McCloud, especially in the passing game.
‘McCloud is not a 3 down backer and we need to stop using him when teams are sold out for the pass, which may be often this year with the way our offense scores.

Didn’t take long for the negative posts geared towards one player to start. Well done.

You should have stopped typing after “lone touchdown drive”, would have saved yourself some time.

I think the majority of our fans realize that LB is a weakness. Don’t see the need to pile on. We better hope we recruit better going forward.

I actually think McCloud might be better as a rush linebacker/viper type

Its a bit early for off season posts.

Yep. Such drivel *** CIS typical thread.

He actually played ok. He made some nice plays. I dont get why erryone is hard on this guy.

 

[CashMoneyCane]

Was this before or after Gurvan was ejected? Maybe he was trying to compensate for Safety play?

Probably because he’s not elite, and the other woman, i mean backups are always more attractive.

manny was praising his leadership and good game last night in the post game. That’s good enough for me.

We know it's you Ryan Ragone's dad you're not fooling anybody.

TE and backs out the backfield always work against us, after VT last year I feel like every team tries that TE throwback against us.. Any TE screen, delay block release, shallow cross, etc works against us. Our defense is see ball, get ball, easy to fake out but you have to give something up

 

[simplycanes]

How'd he do on all the other TD drives?

 

[puertorricane]

The negative nancies will start coming out more the further we get from Saturday's win.
They've been itching to but know they will look a fool after such a big victory.

I agree, I think having him primarily attackIng the line of scrimmage and the QB would be the best way to maximize his talent.

 

[Go Canes!!]

Did you understand his assignment and responsibilites on each play OP?

In case that wasn't clear, it's a rhetorical question cause no one in their right mind cares. They had 100 yards of offense at half time and the game was basically over.
