mustache eagle 2,402 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Personally, I've never understood the concept of not being able to be focused and "up" for a game regardless of what happened the game prior. back when Jeff grimes was our OL coach, he made a similar comment ... you dang near work 364 days a year and have 14 or so games ... how can you NOT be emotionally ready for all of them. I understand the concept but it's Baffling to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc4aday 1,887 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The season starts tomorrow night in Mizzou as far as I am concerned good bad or ugly. I am going to back off on bashing until after tomorrow night when the 4th quarter ends. I am not sure what to expect folks. I do know what I would love to see. This would be JS throwing for at least 275 yards (22 out of 32 zero pics and no more than 3 sacks & 3 hurries.) I would love to see our run game add another 265 yards as well with KP rushing for 125 and KJ with 75 and the other 65 from JS & Kmart. This is possible if JS can get his rhythm and find his receivers quicker than in the past 3 games. I do think our defense will hold Mizzou for no more than 245 total yards or less with 13 or fewer points allowed. We tack on 35 to 45 points in the process. This is doable. I think if this happens, we all will breathe a little easier but not sure how much. IF we come close to reaching these projections, no bashing will come from me I promise!

auskull 239 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I'm just not going to get my hopes up against Mizzou, just too dang depressing when we don't meet expectations. I personally think the OL, QB, and WRs would have been chomping at the bits to make amends against Mercer after 11 sacks, mentally unprepared QB and WR drops. Back in the day, practice would have been a killer. The game would be redemption or get ready for another killer practice week. Mercer should have been cannon fodder simply because of the mental and physical intensity of practice. I refuse to believe we don't have SEC talent at OL, QB or WR.

OK, How was the QB mentally unprepared? He went 32-37 with over 300 yards. You can criticize him for still taking time to progress on his reads, but mentally unprepared?

I was thinking in reference to the Clemson game because of not handling the DL rush in many cases. Holding onto the ball too long, not throwing the ball away under pressure or taking eyes off the WR and refocusing on the rusher. Agree he did make considerable progress against Mercer when under pressure and fitting the ball into tight spaces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Atlantic Tiger 150 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 I really appreciate the insight the 23 brings to this forum, but I cannot agree with him: this is definitely NOT a Top 10 team. Other than the defense, it's not a team. And to be a team, the Offense and the Defense have to work together, and right now the offense is just gobbledygook. It's just a group of individuals. Performance is about growth, pain, learning from mistakes that you know you will make, and knowing that some nights you just won't "have it", but still pull yourself together and give your best effort. People have paid a price to see what you are providing. 25 years of performing on an international level have taught me that. If I wanted my fee, which meant I put a roof over my family's head and food on the table, I pulled myself together and got it done. That's what makes a Champion.

It was the piss poor offensive scheme he tried to execute from his bonehead head coach, the piss poor play from the OL and the piss poor play from a highly talented WR corp who are woefully undercoached by a yes man graduate assistant. wde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only dream if we had been able to get the OC from OSU last year. OK State is lighting it up this year. Gus would likely have handcuffed him too much to make the change and come to the Plains.

We handled Missouri at Missouri without pettway. I have been saying how much we missed Kerryon against Clemson. He does so much for us. Great win. Stidham has gotten his confidence and it started last week. That's why I wasnt dissapointed with score. Kid can sling it with confidence. Missouri has a couple very good dlineman.
