Through all the negative concerning Tommy and the long ball there is a major plus. The offensive line gave him a pocket that he could sit in all day and half the night. And I don’t recall one holding penalty (although I could be wrong). This was, numbers wise, the #1 defense in the country. To give him the time to throw those bombs makes me extremely optimistic.

I wish we could do a little better with the line blocking on the running game, but baby steps.

It really is that simple. Most of us probably earn south of 2 mil, but we can all make 3 adjustments that are certainly correct; 1)no more flanker screens.2) on 3rd and 5 throw a six yard pass. (Remember CW was big on the 3 yard pass in that situation!)3) throw some kind of crossing routes.
That being said, I remain a huge BK fan. I like the deep throws because our receivers are usually better. Tommy was off a bit on Sat, but we might have hit 3 of them and the game wouldnt have been close. I believe that Daniels would have scored on the one PI, so that was a good pass in stride.
Its the O line that can’t run block, not the backs.
We will win this week.
Go Irish

What a frustrating year to be an Irish fan! Even when we win, it feels like a loss. Everything seems out of control. Consider these examples:

-TJ Jones’ antics as a punt returner makes us long for ” Fair Catch ” Goodman.

-Someone should tell GA3 that it isn’t against the rules to run full speed on kickoff returns.

-Our kickoff coverage team must run a collective 6.0 in the 40 yard dash.

-Someone please tell BK the following: It’s OK to use the middle of the field on passes; stop the fade passes–the only thing that fades is our chances of success–Tulsa, anyone?; forget the flanker screens; stop the tight rope sideline passes that so often land out of bounds; stop the 40 yard bombs on 3rd and 2; remember, tight ends are eligible, too; give Bryant and Folston a shot–they can’t be any worse than the others; go to a 4-3 defense so we only have to use one slow MLB and Williams and Shembo can be at DE which is where they belong; put our 3 DL on the Weight Watchers diet; no more purple-faced, ” F ” bomb tirades against the officials that cost us 15 yards; scrap the empty backfield and the personnel groupings that telegraph our plays; and lose some weight, Brian.

-Other than that, everything is all right!

The constant long bombs on 3rd down and 1 or 2 was mind-boggling. OK, so tough to run, but throw a short pass once in awhile for Pete’s sake! We have a 6’7″ tight end. Hit him!

Tommy once again, made me pine for the return of EG. I don’t think I could take one more massive overthrow OOB or worthless failed 3rd down conversion. Our team is in very big trouble. Defense is a liability, offense is lackluster, and there are no big play threats anywhere on the field.
