Game Thread - RIP Nugget

This is what I hate about so many transfers that have never played together. You dont know what you're going to get. The body language shows this.

I agree with this statement.
Looks like it on coaching to me, mistakes and penalties.

We are pretty athletic at different positions. But not on offensive line. And our defensive coordinator has our players out of position.

I'm gonna chill on my beeching. I think they'll win this game by a couple scores. Next week is the test.

Our DC somehow managed to neutralize Isaac.

Agree. Big does not equal good, especially fat and out of shape

So they get an extra 4 points on a ball that pops straight up in the air but back in their receiver's lap and we lose 4 points on a questionable holding call. We are not only bad but have bad luck as well. Those 2 things would change the score from 13-10 to 17-6.

Shapen is a liability. His playmaking ability is almost 0. He's not terrible but it's too generic

A lot of these guys didn't even get spring practice with us either. Hard to gel that quickly in a new scheme for a lot of our OL.

Yea, he needs to run to be much of a factor. If he gets hurt he gets hurt and we move on. He is just not good enough as a pure pocket QB.

I think the bitcoin guys were right all along. Should have put the 15 M in that not in the team.

Don?t forget the 4 we lost bc our RT was lined up. That?s 21-6.

Blake Shapen is Sawyer Robertson. The OL is worse than last year. The DL is only marginally better because of Will Whitson. A TE is the leading reciever because of the limited passing game.

I thought Shapen looked good other than 1 decision.

I like Albert Reese but we should have been very concerned when the depth chart came out and he was the starting LT.

Arch manning is 5/10 for 26 yards in the first half. Don't know why, but this makes me feel better. It's still extremely early in the season, and even immensely talented players/teams can take a second to get going. Granted they're playing a great team, but still. Get this team in gear, Lebby

He is fairly accurate when he makes the right read but I just think this offense needs a QB that runs to be effective.

Yep. Unless you're a blue blood, you need a dual threat QB to give you extra threat. I've never bought the Shapen hype. He's average.

We run an awful scheme for what they are. We are pulling and zone blocking. With our RB corps I want to see us line up and put a hat on someone and push them back. Get 4 yards and wear them down.
