I guess that could be why they said give it a freakin rest, because the some of the guys other posts I hadn’t seen. I just figured it was in regards to the post they were quoting which was merely about the pass. Because that part is what baffled me, I thought someone was saying give it a rest about saying it’s an awful throw.
He and Thomas and Darius are notorious for their ability to see the worst in every situation.
They actually started to show up after Dekkers came in. Even when Purdy came back in I think they protected him better.
This right here shows Campbell & the program are in a great spot. Our talent is there as well as depth - like we've never had before. But the trends show our offense has not excelled, let alone met average expectations. This, to me, is an indictment of who is in charge of that area. Same as what occurred with our strength & conditioning & led to the change there.
OL - showed some warts this season, but we should have been able to scheme & execute better. Chip for the OTs more, etc. The snap issue today is huge & one I focused on as I distinctly remembered them timing our snaps the past few years. It would be nice to prepare for that, but we haven't all that time. Who has led that area during that time? You guessed it.
As to Purdy - he's a ******* warrior & was running for his life. The hit he took 1st half would have put 80% of human beings into traction. He makes mistakes & hasn't progressed well over his career, but this again is an indictment of who is in charge of this area. But with his dedication & work for the program, Campbell sticks to him so Ive no issue doing the same. I just wish we could avoid those scenarios & win more in the earlier parts of the game.
Yes that was a bad throw at the end of the game no doubt. I believe this all comes down to not adjusting to the pressure early from OUs defense. Manning didn’t do anything to least try to counter that. Since nothing was done they just kept coming. Yes I know our OLine was trash today but you have to adjust to compensate for that and nothing was done. As we have seen many times Manning just can’t adjust on the fly like every other OC can.
Screw that idea, we are all waiting to have that special season, the fans have done our part. We are buying the tickets and going to the games. I am just tired of when push comes to shove, ISU is always the team that folds and pisses down their leg. Its been that way this entire year, close game with UNI, lose to EIU, and then the conference games at WV and TT.
We have the talent, so why are we still losing games and getting beat by teams that we have more talent than they do? I get the idea that most years we will not out talent teams, but this year we did. The Oline which we were told was the best we have every had, just sucks.
We need to fire Manning and the oline coach, and then go out and be like EIU and Wisconsin, find kids that want to play for ISU, and build them up in the weight room and go from there.
Nah, I think the offensive Coordinator screwed this teams chances. They are good and with a decent offensive play calling, this team is at minimal 10 win team at this moment. Defense can’t do it all, they get demoralized when it’s mistake after mistake from the offense.
That’s is because OU was starting to let off on the pressure.
You're right, if we criticize Campbell he might leave for a better job with a fan base that doesn't criticize its coach.
