I'm going to go ahead and hope/pray that this was, in fact, this coaching staff's annual WTF game and that we somehow managed to win it (thanks to our "culture" according to Klieman).

But, the ceiling will be limited for this team until Riley opens things up offensively.

Our offensive play calling has to be questioned though. Too many 3 and outs  and plays that stood no chance of gaining yards.

Avery was pretty effective when he’s operating the offense at tempo. Threw some really nice darts. The run calls late in the game seemed to spoil the momentum more than provide offensive balance. :th_twocents:

i assume they’re waiting until next week to really open up the playbook.  it’s the only logical explanation.

I think Tulane is a good team and we will probably have an easier time with Arizona at home.

Yeah my hope too. I do think that like our last offensive scoring drive was more indicative of the offense. We looked great then

I don't understand why Edwards doesn't play more.

Or that Riley is a timid fool who doesn't know how to use the special talent he's been gifted or know what a wide receiver is.

He had to be in the doghouse for some reason. Or injured. That’s the only logical explanation.

Probably wondering why he left Colorado and already looking for a OC that will appreciate him.

guys, I don't even know what cover 2 is or what all these things mean because I coach OL/DL but, folks, maybe let's not do the one we are doing imo.

Avery seemed to be fighting a pretty nasty cold during his presser last week. Maybe Dylan was sick all week. As a very manly man, I can confirm that Man Colds are no joke.

Maybe the secondary was sick, too.

maybe our d-coordinator died of covid last week?

maybe our d coordinator thought he was supposed to allow the other team to gain yards instead of not letting them gain yards. idk but it kinda looked like that happened.

To be fair, those tricky post patterns and crossing routes were novel and hard to defend.

Matrix Synthetic vs FieldTurf

I don’t think Matrix uses the rubber infill like FieldTurf

Plus I’ve always thought our grounds people did a very not so good job maintaining and grooming the fields.  Yes-artificial grass fields need grooming. It’s just different than natural grass.

Klieman's postgame was pretty telling - said we need to figure out our "identity" on both offense and defense.

Not great two games into the season.

New OC, new QB, new Oline, et al. 

This stuff doesn't all click together in a few weeks of practice.  They'll figure it out.

Offense reminds me of the year that Andre Coleman was calling plays

I'm much more worried about the defense. Terrible coverage breakdowns combined with an inability to get to the QB rushing 6.

I know the constant heavy blitzing and leaving receivers wide open caused a big turnover but I'm used to the warm fuzzy bending and not breaking style

I think there’s a lot of good “tape” that our coaches can use to improve this week. 

a question for the dudes who might know, outside of the players who ere out of position, did they at least show good instincts?
