love the guys that work for us .. really. But listening to stretchinternet is like a high school audio/video braodcast. they keep cutting in w stuff we shouldn't hear - like literally they saaid - "hey, make sure to get the entire highlight from the beginning next time, not just when Dirks crosses the line.. OK?" "OK" "You understan?" "Yes" ... then cuts back into the broadcast.
ETSU Game Thread
Despite a few missed throws, Roberts looks in control and competent. His pass to Gordon should have been caught. Don't understand the QB switch at all. Good move on the O line with Cole Neely at C and Kroeber at G. ETSU doesn't think we can pass and apparently neither do we from the play calls. The defense is bending but not breaking. Looks like they will be the key. We can play better than this. Let's see what the 2nd half brings.
now that's how you open a 2nd half.. until we see otherwise Roberts is the man. His ability to throw more than makes up for a possible lack of option speed.
pleased with the play of Roberts.hope they let him play every series till game is settled.
Defense looks really good. ETSU's Qb constantly having to throw to his checkdown RB or TE.
Not sure I understand the thought behind playing Grainger earlier.saltyshaker wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 10:03 pmpleased with the play of Roberts.hope they let him play every series till game is settled.
Again, I'm not the coach. I'm sure they have a reason.
Side note.
We have some really good looking running backs.

WHy bring Grainger in after such a great frist drive of second half? and then put grainger in an ovbcious throwing down?
Quit with the QB thing until its settled... we are 0-2. Win the game.. play roberts. quit w the fancy schmancy QB switching. They know Grainger isn't throwing and that's too easy to stop one dimensional

Another MO killer with the QB change. Wasted field position, again.
Coach Hendrix has a plan. There's clearly something he likes about Grainger. He's likely running a scaled-down package of plays.
I agree, though, it doesn't seem to be doing anything but killing momentum.
I agree but there is no doubt (hindsight I know) it's not working. Drives w Grainger have been a FG, nothing, nothing, nothing.. w Roberts two TDs etc.The Jackal wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 10:13 pmCoach Hendrix has a plan.

I'm sure Coach Hendrix is aware of all of that.gofurman wrote: ↑Sat Sep 22, 2018 10:16 pmI agree but there is no doubt (hindsight I know) it's not working.

We look a lot better. Everything is crisper. Guys are flying around. This is encouraging.
Very proud of Roberts so far. He has given this team hope and should be the guy until proven otherwise. Maybe we should use grainger as a wildcat like we did in 2013!
