- You must practice Derrick Smith at safety (as emergency) and have him fill in after Carter at safety and you can have Finley at Striker, knowles can no longer play
- Deejay should be the starter and Homer change of pace, Deejay has better patience and vision, and breaks tackles with a spotty OL
- Its obvious with Lingard right now that when hes in hes getting the ball, give him a series
- Boulware > Jones, and still dont get why Gaynors not rotating at Guard ( not buying the grooming at center strategy)
- what happened to the bubbles off the RPO?
- whatever adjustment toledo made to get the QB to break contain and run for 12 yards at will, we will see again, fix it
- have Bubba boom them out of the end zone, and dont go directional, youre killing momentum from a score and can be costly against a better opponent. The ball explodes off Baxa's foot
- theres something wrong with the blocking on punt team, its gangbusters every time with Feagles barely getting them off
- please put a youngin(Pope?) on punt return in the 4th quarter of a blow out not your starting RB
- Great job with a very clean game, very composed, Go Canes!

Can Linguard return kicks/punts?? We need that elite speed on the field, Rick!!!!!!!
 
Manny's already proven that Knowles is next man in after JJ..whatever pictures he has of him must be doozies..

Agreed. Boulware is an upgrade in the interim but I'd really like to see more of Scaife at RT, Donaldson at RG and some combo of Gaynor and Gauthier at C/LG
- what happened to the bubbles off the RPO?They ran one against Toledo that worked for a decent gain. Malik struggles to throw them correctly making receivers have to wait/adjust to catch them, leading to no gain/short gains (See Harley against Toledo)
- whatever adjustment toledo made to get the QB to break contain and run for 12 yards at will, we will see again, fix it Man coverage with no spy. Everyone wants to see more man to man but this is what happens when your back seven is chasing around receivers and your front four loses contain.
- have Bubba boom them out of the end zone, and dont go directional, youre killing momentum from a score and can be costly against a better opponent. The ball explodes off Baxa's foot For the love of anything, I can't figure out why they try to get so cute on kickoffs. Just line drive that bish through the endzone. Baxa cearly has the leg to do it.
- theres something wrong with the blocking on punt team, its gangbusters every time with Feagles barely getting them off The blocking is sub par but Feagles needs to work faster. He's taking an extra step and just really slow to get the ball off.
- please put a youngin(Pope?) on punt return in the 4th quarter of a blow out not your starting RB

Good observations. This is the kind of constructive criticism the staff deserves.

I have also noticed the snaps from our center are all.over the place also.This is on snaps to the QB, punter and holder for place kicks. If that tad fixed Baxas aim would probably improve

Carter was out for the Toledo game but agree Knowles does seem like next man up. He's kind of like the Romeo Davis Glen Cook of this team. Knows where to be but can't make a tackle for ****.

The holder (Spicer) has been erratic as well. Don't know how much of that is on the LS or the holder, but I've noticed that the ball is placed at a seemingly different angle on virtually every snap. Add to that, the whole action is slow. Many times I've seen Bubba kick before the holder gets a chance to spin the laces around.

I noticed that his extra point attempts got closer and closer each time to that right upright until he actually hit it. That just has to do with land foot placement and getting your hips squared towards the goal post vs keeping them closed off (essentially like throwing a pitch in baseball) and he's pushing it right. Should be an easy fix.

I wish (but at the same time I don't) that he got more FG attempts in live games prior to the ACC stretch but it is what it is. Maybe he can get 1 or 2 this week and a few vs UNC. The Miami FSU game has notoriously come down to kicking far too often.. even though it should be a 2013 type blowout with us on the flipside this time giving the *** kicking this year.
 
Whenever Knowles is on the field, we're playing with 10 players.
