Can I get a couple of 10-15 yards downfield?
Also, if Pringle gets the holes Fletcher for we'd have a couple 30+ yard runs

 

[JHallCanes]

Dawson has to have the most limited playbook in the country. It’s all in one way or the other. Either A gap 70% of the time or trickery non stop. Can’t have a balance week to week. Interior run has been there so let’s not lean on it to quiet the crowd and instead line up 3rd and +8 half the time.

They need to establish the run and take some shots downfield. Seeing Dawsons gameplan and what the analytics said A&Ms defense strengths were tells me he is either wildly overconfident in our offense or he’s an idiot.

I didn’t hate some of what Dawson was doing. Softening up the A&M interior attacking the perimeter

He’s trying to get Toney the ball as much as possible and that’s always good

But there is a point where you’re so deep into trying to outsmart the other team that you’re missing the basics

 

[Number1CanesFan]

Run the ball and target Mali on those whip routes

Yes. We haven't seen any slants, shallow crosses, or whip routes.

Pound the ball inside to stay ahead of the chains, then the passing game will open up.

As always, the game day thread delivering the overreactions

I definitely don’t agree with what we’re doing on offense of course. I didn’t see Brown or Pringle for a single snap. They need to be involved.

Every play that requires air time for the football is going to be questionable at best due to the wind. There has to be a significant adjustment to the game plan. And obviously it’s ******* with our kicking game.

Defensively we have been stout, but our offense isn’t doing them any favors. TOP has evened out some but we need to sustain some drives to keep them fresh for the 4Q.

Reed is having just as much trouble throwing as Beck, outside of one long throw and catch. Keep him in the pocket and good things should happen.

It’s probably going to come down to one or two huge game changing plays today. I think we’re up to the task but we need to step up in the next 30 minutes for sure.

it seemed like the last possession we had a strong run and a nice pass catch

like the best possession of the game so far

let's RUN THE BALL with fletcher and Pringle
keep the clock running and us tied for as long as possible!

 

[Poptimus]

this is a @#$#$@ take

we are literally tied 0-0 with a team that was 11-1 and ranked #3 in the country a few weeks ago.

at their house in front of 107,000

with a 30 hour gusting wind

Are you serious? The coaching has been atrocious. We are supposed to be happy getting shutout at the half?

 

[KingB02]

That back shoulder throw to Marion was so ***!! He burned his man and Beck was staring right at him and threw that duck! He needs to tighten up!

 

[mossmadness]

We had the luck that half too.
Strip sack recovery.
Long punt return.
Blocked FG.

Those aren’t plays that repeat across half to half. And it’s taken all of them to keep us in the game.

 

[dantheman349]

Please please please run run run.

 

[brock]

The wind factor is looming large in this game with our missed kicks as well as those beck deep balls to trader and then also to Daniel’s on that last drive Marion too

 

[TaylorWalls]

Still need to work the ball downfield. Don’t need sideline routes but at least hit some mesh, crossing routes, etc. need north south not east west b

Yeah, just complete some passes. I’m surprised no one else thought of that.

 

[Cane&Abel]

Nuts on the table time !!… who’s is bigger ?!
This is playoff time NO PAUSE!

 

[BALLHAWKU]

A touchdown would be very cool

Dawson is currently wearing a helmet holding a spoon drooling as we speak

 

[TemplarCane]

Use Toney as a decoy until they stop worrying about him.

THEN get him the ball.

 

[Tru C]

All the pressure should be on them at this point.

 

[U got This]

Is pringle in the dog house?

 

[AUcane]

Yes. We haven't seen any slants, shallow crosses, or whip routes.

Pound the ball inside to stay ahead of the chains, then the passing game will open up.

Yep. It’s all east-west junk that’s not working.

 

[SFbayCane]

Mario not using Brown or Pringle tells me that he's clutching his pearls on the sideline again.

 

[STG]

I don’t think you can read good sir! I said disaster across the board

Placed a huge emphasis on Beck and did not mention Dawson. Just say what we all know, you're a Dawson defender under all circumstances. We've seen you do it time and time again. Your boy is trash my man, sorry you can't accept it.

 

[Disgustipated]

that was a wild first half. Beck needs to pull his head out of his *** and pull the trigger. Run game was solid. Can Dawson call one play action on first down? just one please.
