If he can get over his fumbleitis Ridley is going to be a serious running back. he ha nice cuts to the in or outside has great speed bursts. He was cruising to a 100 yard game... 19c,81yds.
we did need the 1st down, because if i am correct he fumbled on 3rd down. So, with out the 1st we would have been punting the ball away.
I agree with CPs assessment of overrated. Particularly Chavis, and if fact, the entire secondary save PP. I am no football expert, but I thought the LB play was pretty subpar too. The second half, they could get 5-7 yds at will with short passes. It was painful. But you can't give up 400+ passing and not look at the D as a whole. - Underrated? JJs arm strength. I saw in an earlier post in this thread someone said why not put the guy with the stronger arm in the 2 minute situation, (Lee). I know it was one pass, but that pass to RR was a rope, and it was a 60+ yd rope. I saw him throw another 65 yds on a rope...but it fell incomplete. Arm strength isn't the issue with JJ.
Correct. First down and we're in victory formation. We lost more fumbles last night than we have lost in the past 5 years from the RB position.
If you, as coach, had tried to take a knee at that point, you'd be crucified here over that Les Milesian decision. We needed a first down first before we started taking a knee.
You're right. Forget we turned it over with 1:08 left. I was half medicated by the middle of the 4th. My whole point was... small steady carries, chew the clock... even if we didn't get the 1st... still end up with a FG and there's not over a minute to drive half the field on us. Still too many glaring little things wrong with this offense imo.
The offense worked perfectly on that series prior to the fumble. Now, I think you're just trying to find fault with anything we did the other night. Without the fumble, we got a little scare out of UNC, but nothing of the level it got to because of the turnover.
