I honestly feel like Snyder and company are perfectly content with nine win top fifteen type teams that can't compete with the heavyweights.  Maybe they feel like it's our ceiling so they aren't going to do anything to change the way they coach or recruit.

No, I think it's very smart based on today's offenses. If we played like we did in late 90's, we'd get burnt like crazy.

It's so exhausting when the opposing QB needs to make 1 pre-snap read and then deliver the ball for 10+ yards all the way down the field. 3 step drop, open receiver. I hate our scheme.

gives us the best chance to beat a team like baylor with our current roster. infuriating to watch though. Baylor didn't make enough mistakes last night and our offense wasn't good enough either. the bad start was killer, we go down 14, end up losing game by 11.

yep, 100% agree. the D did what we need them to do to beat baylor. offense needed to hold the ball and finish drives. we won TOP but didn't finish drives with TDs.  two poor drives to start the game puts the d in a real bad spot.  with better offensive production it's a totally different game.

We took an offensive line that jammed the ball down people's throats and made them pass protect and they did pretty okay.

Yea, and where did that "jamming the ball down people's throats" go to? We tried to run, and they were incapable of opening up holes most of the time. I understand it's much easier to sellout in the run game when you don't have to account for a QB like Klein or Daniel, but jfc. There's no way you can look at the combined experience of that unit and not be fuming. Even with tempering expectations to account for Whitehair's position change, the offensive line failed to even come close to performing as they should have.

I think it's tough to ask a line to have a finesse mindset on most downs and then ask the same guys to play smash mouth football on some other downs.  They weren't great at either.  1) having an elite WR, 2) and a competent QB to get him the ball, and 3) no good/great RB options and the staff decides to put out there what we saw. 

I think the line was capable of being that great line but the staff put them in a tough spot and they couldn't do anything great.

This. How can we not be super pissed about the o line run blocking? Dickey is supposed to be the Olineman Whisperer. The last 2 years our line was supposed to be a strong point. Last year they weren't special and this year has been a disaster. With their experience this is completely inexcusable. I'm totally ok with getting rid of Dickey although Snyder will never fire anyone

actually, we play those HS kids ahead of the juco kids.  I mean, there isn't a juco Lb better than Truman?  Will Davis?  Oh wait, there's two: Dakorey and Dvonta.  And it took Dakorey an entire f'ing year.  And who the hell knows about Dvonta.

If Riddle and Dvonta are both gone lets BID. Was looking forward to stout D next year (assuming we'd stop sitting back against good offenses), but now it seems like we won't even have that. Next year is going to suck.
Jesus you're the worst!

I mean, what was wrong with what I said? Is our d not going to be sucky next year without Riddle and Dvonta if both are actually gone? Linebacker seems like an important position

They're not gone and we have no understanding yet if they're even capable of playing at this level yet. Stop melting down.

No one is melting down yet. Just made a point that it will suck if they are both gone. Jeez wacky. Chillax

No one is melting down because everyone knew this game would happen, pretty much exactly as it did

My perception has always been a person has to work really hard to get kicked off or dismissed from a Snyder team. :dunno:

Is this the thread to talk about the slothfense approach? It was maddening in the 4th quarter watching us use 35 seconds between plays that were designed to gain 7 yards. Can someone with HFBIQ explain to me why we ALWAYS have to sub, huddle, set, motion, check with me, audible, set before the snap???? We were down 2 scores and even if we scored, we were going to need a quick 3 and out to have any time.

I've watched pretty much every KSU game except a few in 2008 and I can't remember any hurry up drives in Snyder 2.0. Someone help me. Even when we forced the punt before half, it was like we were hoping to get to the 30 with 2 seconds left to try a field goal.

The system worked great in 2012 with in games with leads. Was amazing. But last night wasn't 2012 and we never had a lead. I readily admit I'm a LFBIQ fan who never played/coached but there is nothing more maddening to me about our team than the lack of urgency when behind. I even get it early in the game last night  because we want to limit Baylor's chances but my word the check with me's are making me bonkers.

We needed a more athletic RB; one that can make some plays despite the oline.  DMac, while a good blocker, wasn't that type of RB.  Jones is decent but being predominantly used in the Wildcat limited his opportunities.

We had like negative 1 seconds left to try a long FG.

The defensive strategy would have worked against Baylor if our players would have made tackles. Hayes has figured out how to stop the high powered offenses we see. It's just unfortunate that he can't find players to plug into his system that are good enough to make it work.

I do think we tried to dial up some different stuff in the 2nd half, like the corner blitz on the first play when Burns completely whiffed on the sack. We also tried to send 5 at Petty but it only paid off with a couple sacks after it was probably too late.

To me the biggest problem with this year's defense (and last year's) was we didn't force TOs. The numbers overall for yards and points per play weren't that different.

Is it just me, or all year long did our blitzers just take horrible angles?  I think I pondered in another thread that they must have been practicing against a QB who was a freaking statue. (I HOPE THIS IS NOT A SIGN OF THINGS FOR HUBENER)!

Agreed.
Burns was laughable on Sat. It was like Petty was a bull fighter and he waved the red cape and Burns ran right by him.


Gonna win 'em all!

they weren't bad angles. the blitzers didn't come in under control or breakdown. dakorey committed these mistakes time and time again this season.
