Title: Deep thought for James Franklin:
Post by: Beer on September 07, 2007, 01:39:21 PM
James,

Running the ball has nothing to do with schemes or gimmicks.  It has little to do with the size of your personnel.  It has everything to do with execution, patience, and mental toughness.  A successful rushing performance is nothing more and nothing less than the imposition of your will on the opponent. 

Undermanned squads have run up some impressive numbers on the ground against superior opponents in the past.  We will not be undermanned tomorrow.  If we fail to dominate on the ground against SJSU, the blame is yours alone.  No pressure.

Sincerely,

Beer

If it has nothing to do with schemes, why should the pressure be on Franklin?

Excellent point.  Please disregard my initial post.

That's absurd.  I would never "hit" a perfectly good beer.

I have been wondering when people would start scrutinizing Franklin.

Watching the Indi colts line up in I formation in the redzone to get their TD was a thing of beauty. They have a pro style passing offense.  How come they can do it and we can't?

Lets not forget leaving Alessana on an island and the weak endzone offense. I question Ron Franklin and think he might be the weakest link.

One new thing per year.  Last year was the three WR bunch.  This year is "shotgun."  Next year we'll roll out I form.

Because they have Ryan Lilja and we don't.

Don't forget all the problems with Franklin and his reluctance for a blocking fullback.

Remember last season everyone was pissed and calling RP's talkshow about lack of toughness in the redzone and why we couldn't run. Prince pushed changes and we had to use a tightend as a fullback.

The closest thing we have to a "jumbo set" now is Josh Freeman, Bill Walker, and Ron Prince himself.

The thing you have to remember when talking about Franklin, is that they just didn't have a lot of capable personnel when he was QB at East Crappingdale State.  A lot of that carries over to his game planning.

I do find it absurd that we don't have any fullbacks in the program.

Ron Franklin does a helluva job imo.

I blame Ron Prince.  Isn't he Mr. Offensive Line or something?

Another Deep Thought for J. Franklin:

"Ambition is like a frog sitting on a Venus Flytrap. The flytrap can bite and bite, but it won't bother the frog because it only has little tiny plant teeth. But some other stuff could happen and it could be like ambition."

That's exactly what I was trying to say.  What are you, like inside my brain or something?  Wierd.
