Live Game Talk: Louisiana vs. Minnesota

[CharlieK]

I think this is correct for their offensive personnel adjustments. We just didn't adjust to their blitz packages in the second half to get Zeon to make quicker decisions. Theirs worked and he made two poor decisions along with some other questionable decisions in the second half. He's young and he's going to do that but they just pressured him more and we didn't seem to have an answer.

How do you know? Because we didn’t win?

. . . it’s why he was not QB1 to start the season . . . he is young and will get better in time, hopefully it is time spent here . . . those are not the types of adjustments that are made at halftime . . .

This offense is absolutely different with him in there and that's a good thing. Blitz protection is something that can be adjusted at halftime though.

Again, Minnesota’s QB:

12/14, 146 Yards, 2 TD and a meaningless INT.

You let the opponent’s QB complete over 85% of his passes with a yard per attempt of over 10, you’ve probably got about a 0.824% chance of winning that game.

I watched the game again on tv. I was watching sort of on my phone live. Anyway. We needed to blitz more on 1st downs. Minnesota was ahead of the chains all day.

And… how did we not recover the onside kick??

Because they were able to get after Zeon in the second half and put him under pressure, both times helping create interceptions.

How do you know we didn’t adjust? Sometimes they just out athlete you. Sometimes it’s the jimmy and the joes not the X’s and O’s.

Nice (often used) Baldwin quote there.

The thing for me is the team with the lead could make a huge mistake by adjusting.

The team behind has nothing to lose by adjusting.

Adjusting (when what you are doing is working) can lead to out-thinking yourself.

. . . all this adjusting . . .

The hope is your staff has a counter for the other team's adjustments. That does not seem to be the case.

Look, all we needed to do is make some adjustments.

Adjustments get'r done. If we would have adjusted to the barometric pressure, moon phase and the ley line running under the stadium, we had em.

If we adjust the position of cold beers in the ice bins, they'll probably become colder beer.

Adjust wisely and you shall receive a colder Budweiser.

. . . a colder Budweiser is always a better Budweiser . . .
