This Offense is Legit

Ah good catch. I counted Daniels game Nov 18 2023. He went 25/30 6TD 413 yards. Not 90% completion. I ran a search earlier today for recent QBs with 30+ attempts with more TD than incompletions.

Gotcha yeah you had me questioning my sanity a bit. Also that 2021 MSU team Stroud did it that was when Tucker took like 50 transfers and beat us up

Was a pretty good team IIRC and Stroud annihilated them

There is a post of mine from a few weeks ago that said this is by far their toughest coaching challenge to date up front. I also went on to say I expect this unit to be about top 30 come end of year and that would be impressive given what is on paper for this line.

Of course many laughed at me because most have the football knowledge of a squirrel on here but feel even better about that take after witnessing what we did last night….. I truly do not believe the horses are there to have an elite o line. Not even sure very good

But If there’s anyone to do it it’s Mario and Mirabel.

Wilson got a few pressures and made a big play in the red zone. You not going to get a bunch of sacks every game. As elite as Bain was last year he only had 4.5 sacks in the regular season. Had 5 in the playoffs. But he created a lot of pressure

Stop it. If you keyed Bain and Messidor they nearly never lost reps at this level. They **** sure are not losing many reps to the sisters of the poor Stanford o line we played last night. Damon Wilson couldn’t win reps last night consistently in the pass rush. It was tough to watch him go power rush after power rush square into their tackles with no counter off it or the ability disengage.

Jason Taylor has his hands full with these d ends not named Lightfoot and Blount.

He was getting no push even on double teams and high snaps ain’t solid.

He was solid. Who on the o-line was getting push? The run blocking as a whole was bad but overall he was solid. And if you want to use pff they had him graded as the best o-lineman and 3rd highest rated player for miami

If they are going to sell out and run blitz then we'll rpo more. Slants and screens were there anytime we wanted. Pass pro was overall very good. We'll know where we stand against Clemson.

Game 1. Whole new OL. It’s gonna take some time. Plus I’d warrant boxes are gonna super light moving forward. Considering our best player went for 234/3 tonight.

Stanford. Those numbers come way down vs. ND.

I agree. But we’ve two months until then. I’m putting all my chips on Mario having the line improved by then.

Also, if you were to tell me Toney does 40% of that production vs ND, I like our chances. I think Toney proved he’s unfair against lower competition. Seeing what I saw last night, there’s literally only one WR in America I’ll even entertain a conversation on being better than Toney. Odds are he’s doing numbers against everyone we play from here on out.

People talking about pass pro issues are talking about the first few plays of the game imo. We had no issues once we got into the groove

Vendrevius Jacobs had 350ish yards and 3 TDs against Clemson/Mizzou/A&M last year

Tonight he was catching pop ups from Luke Nickel in garbage time against Stanford

Our WR group is wild

Luke Nickel throwing deep is not a pretty site.

I think that’s an experience thing more than a talent thing. Like some touch on the throw to Spafford would’ve been a TD. The INT was a forced throw. Those are correctable mistakes imo.

Stanford brought some late pressures early too. Which for a young, new group is typically going to cause problems. Once they rushed four they held up a lot better.

Idk, but if there’s a group of coaches I’m not betting against having a good OL, maybe not elite like last year, but good. It’s Mario & Mirabal.

Yeah we’ve got some concerns on offense with the OL but nothing we didn’t already know

It’s kind of weird to me that we spent the last few months saying how it would take some time with the OL, we have some young guys that need reps, gotta solidify some spots etc and as soon as the game starts people are acting surprised by it happening 🤷🏼‍♂️

I don’t think there was anything negative last night that surprised me. Itll take some time to replace the OL we lost and losing 3,4,0,8 on defense but the talent is there
