MESSAGE BOARD POST OF THE DAY

Re-watched the condensed Duke game – observations … Posted by Uncle_Rico

Biggest takeway – our o-line is horrendous. They can’t block anybody and miss blitzes. #64 and #74 on our o-line may be two of the worst o-lineman in the country. both missed the blitz that caused TVD to get knocked out and were missed blocks and blitzes all game. Duke has Jess Simpson and he knows exactly how to pressure our line and it worked.

3 QB fumbles caused by bad o-line blocking and 2 fumbles caused by not protecting the ball. 4 of the 5 fumbles led to Duke TDs. This was the biggest reason we lost the game.

1st quarter

– colbie young with a few good catches and routes and a good td route

– terrible run blocking/concept on 4th and 1 with Stanley – causes a turnover on downs

– knighton fumble in the first quarter was terrible – leads to duke td

2nd Quarter

– keyshawn smith fumble – holding ball with only 1 arm and doesn’t protect the ball. leads to duke td

– tvd sack #1 – o line completely misses the blitz. sack was on 3rd down and 10 and leads to punt. parrish completely misses the blitz and misses his blocking assignment and was late reading it.

– tvd sack #2/fumble (knocked out). leads to duke td. o-line completely misses the blitz and he had no chance. #56 on our line is in the middle blocking nobody. line completely blocks the wrong players and 2 duke players come in on the blind side unblocked. There were only 5 on the line and the rb runs in the flat for a pass and doesn’t stay in to block. the play had no chance. left side of the line blocked the wrong defenders. #74 and #64 needed to rotate to pick up the blitz.

– 3rd and 1 with Garcia in the game and we run a terribly designed run play that doesn’t get the first down and loses 1 yard. leads to a punt.

– terrible clock management by gattis at the end of the 2nd with run plays that eat up clock.

– Garcia sack #1 – #50 on our line completely whiffs on the block on a safety blitz and Garcia has no chance.

– Garcia interception #1 end of 2nd – I don’t know what that was. maybe trying to throw it away and didn’t throw it far enough? There was a WR coming across but 3 defenders were there.

3rd Quarter

– Garcia TD #1 – excellent pass on the money. Colbie young strikes again.

– Duke fumble #1 – no pressure on QB but good play by DJ Ivey forcing a fumble

– Garcia TD #2 – great read picking up mallory over the middle. Where has this play call been all year? Miami is up 21-17

– Blades makes a good play on 3rd down deflecting a pass. 4th down DJ Ivey is playing the WR tight and jumps off the coverage into zone and WR is open for the 1st down. if Ivey stayed on man coverage they could’ve stopped that drive.

– 4th and goal duke runs a shovel pass to the TE and poor coverage for a td. LBs are nowhere to be found. James Williams reads it late and doesn’t get there in time.

– Garcia almost INT pass/incomplete pass on 3rd down – Keyshawn Smith was held and was supposed to turn for the pass – ref missed pass interference. Ball could’ve been INT but it hit the ground. Garcia was also hit as he threw the ball. #74 on the o-line gets burned and the defender grabs Jake as he threw. Leads to a turnover as it was 4th and 3. Bad play design as nobody was really open and Jake was trying to force it to K Smith. failed drive leads to duke td.

4th Quarter

– Apparently Duke has Bo Jackson in Tecmo Bowl at RB as our LB can’t tackle him.

– Duke QB runs in easily for a TD. LB’s can’t catch up to him. I wasn’t aware he was Michael Vick.

– Garcia sack/fumble #1 – o-line misses the blitz and Jake has no chance. #53 and #64 are blocking nobody and duke gets an easy sack. leads to duke td. Duke leads 37-21

– Great play call/pass to mallory on an out route on 3rd and 6 for the first down.

– Garcia INT #2 – misses high over the middle. not a mental error just a miss. Terrible.

– Garcia INT #3 – Ladson about 7 yards behind the DB and he underthrows the ball. He was trying to throw over the defender to Ladson but wasn’t close. Also a long across the field throw that had time to be ready by the defender. Terrible.

– Garcia completes a good out route to Ladson while being drilled. #53 gets smoked in the middle and the defender drills Jake. Ball is actually thrown before Ladson breaks in his route which is more of what you want to see (NFL level throw). Too bad there weren’t more of these in the game.

– Garcia sack #2 – duke rushes 4 and 2 miami lineman miss #94 on duke and he gets the sack. Knighton avoids blocking anybody.

– Garcia fumble #2 – #94 on Duke does it again. He plows right through the line and Jake has no chance. Duke rushed 3 guys and we had 5 lineman and a RB blocking (6 vs 3) and they still got to the Duke and forced a fumble. #64 and #74 completely whiff on the duke defender who goes right between them.
