It is very frustrating that Mario literally never punishes players for lack of discipline on the field.
- We consistently double our opponents up in penalties and/or penalty yards in a game? Who cares. Who cares if we been like 80th or worse in penalties every year under Mario, what does that matter! It's not like their entire offensive philosphy hinges on not losing a yard on a play because they can't overcome being behind the sticks... Of course none of our Olineman are ever going to be punished for their mistakes. Pay no attention to the fact McCoy hasn't been very good, and Samson should probably be starting regardless. Pay no attention to Brockermyer almost singlehandedly trying to lose us a game. Cici is a guarantee to get 1 penalty per game. Anez Cooper has been the biggest dissapointment for a 4 year oline starter there is imo...
- Every time one of our RBs fumbles, they are never taken out and punished for the remainder of a drive/game. Literally this has happened over a handful of times where one of our RBs will fumble and then get right back in the following drive - which actually almost seems blatantly on purpose given how much the past 2 years we have rotated RBs in and out - usually BY DRIVE!. Just insanity. Look what happened in the Louisville game when Brown fumbled? And that was even after he had been playing Excellent all day. But you know what a RB fumbling is unacceptable. What happens when we fumble? The coaches simply dont give a ****, putting them right back on the field as if it didn't matter. smfh.
- This past game was one of the worst miss tackle performances possible and it had major consequences. Yet will the older LBs who were responsible, wes - who has been responsible for countless negative plays the past 3 years - ever going to get punished? Or is he going to be the starting LB again? What about Toure who played like absolute crap? Why can't Aguirre get the start. **** I don't think Smith is very good but give him the start too. He's hasn't made these critical mistakes. Why has Kellen Wiley gotten 0 snaps since USF?
Which is a good place to discuss the idiotic snap counts:
- Beaman has been out there on like 90% of snaps, basically being useless. Lofton has made critical mistakes. Yet we never see any rotation there even thought the 2 freshman TEs we have are problably the top 2 guys long-term.
- The Dline as a whole is getting basically no rotation. They're treating these games like we don't have 6 more games to go. If we don't get Scott more snaps, how can we expect him to hold up in an eventual Playoff? If we don't get more rotation at EDGE why can we count on those guys to be ready?
- Scott has been great for the most part but he's missed a **** load of tackles too. Why is he the one guy that literally has never been subbed out? Why is nobody else getting ANY nickel reps? start working a guy in a few plays every 2-3 drives...
