If you want 5 yards against us on 1st down, just throw it. 3rd and 12? It should be open for the first 10 yards. Our pass defense is terrible. Not the players, the play calling. Do ever bump and run? Or do we just sit back and let them throw the ball in front of us? Geez I'm tired of giving up 1st downs. Its like we just sit back and hope the other team makes a mistake in front of us.

It's easier to put them in a position to make a play and build their confidence, than getting more complex and them getting beat and down on themselves. Confidence is key to a young player's long term performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more often than not we have been in perfect position. Nate godwin shouldve had two picks on deep throws last week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that's tongue in cheek, but that 17 play drive and that 1 play lob could be the difference between giving up 42 points over the course of a game and say 28 points.

Some teams offenses will beat themselves if you let them. Usf has been a prime example of that up until last week for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
