I'm not the one making decisions and don't have the information to prefer one over the other. Like you, I'm just a fan.
Against a team who had 400 yards run on them the week before.
Seaton plays guard?
Why does everyone keep saying JC can't be worse when he obviously can which is why they aren't playing him. SJ was not bad in this game. Now everyone is just saying the same **** over and over, which was much more deserved earlier in the year.
100%, SJ catches a lot of flack that is undeserved. He played a good game Saturday and his run blocking has been pretty darn good. The issue on Saturday was the past rush coming from the outside, not the interior. Again, just continue to improve the offensive line until we get Buchanan back and we will be fine..
He’s not injured, he’s just not ready yet! How many times does this need to be said to people? He isn’t ready yet, no matter how much we wish he was Cici, he’s just not at this point in his career. Next year might be a different story, but it’s not gonna be this year.
Same people that talk about player development are the ones still bashing SJ. SJ has more work to do, more improvement ahead. However, he’s gotten significantly better throughout this season. Don’t believe me? Watch the Stanford and FAMU tape again, then watch the last two games he played. For the stupid MFers on here who don’t know, THIS IS CALLED PLAYER DEVELOPMENT!!!!!! This is what is looks like…..dude comes in and doesn’t know what he’s doing, he learns the practice routines, film routines, training, diet and game prep. He then plays - in a game (gasp) - and puts real plays on tape. The coaches then analyze the film with the player, show him what he did well, what he fuccced up, and how to fix the fuccups. Player then applies what was taught. He either improves or gets replaced. SJ played all 80 snaps on Saturday.
Please don't come in here with a logical take. You're supposed to pick on the little guy.
I thought we would see 50-50 snaps between SJ and Merriweather. Hopefully he was banged up and gets snaps this week. It has to be driving Mario and Mirabal crazy!!
Fair enough. I'm curious as to what the issue is. What has to happen for him to be ready?
100%, I thought that was the biggest lost, Lane screwed us over big time. That move right there we win the natty, now we will get eliminated cause the OL is not good man its just not. Anyone saying otherwise is a homer
LOL nobody was saying that about Congdon, they were actually saying he is more ready then Cantwell
The pressure was coming from the outside, but SJ was consistently getting pushed back so Mensah would often not have room to step up in the pocket. DMoney even made this point on the pod yesterday. SJ wasn’t a disaster like he has been in other games, but he’s still a consistent liability.
Yeah, and you can still find stinker reps against #5 (who is a good DT) from the FSU game. Small guard struggles to block big, talented DT straight-up, breaking news. The thing is we are doing tons more gap scheme stuff in the run game this year than in prior years Mario and Dawson have been here. SJ does much better when he is on the move. Is he perfect? No. But the reverse to Mali is a good example of SJ's value to the team. I don't think there are many guards nimble enough to pull right to left, and completely stone a free runner 3-4 yards in the backfield. That play doesn't work if SJ doesn't make that block.
This is 100 percent right. The OL is just not good enough to make a deep playoff run unless there's significant improvement.
