…..Damn I hated missing QB Club meets……I remember Nap’s first one saying he just told whatever to the media but to ask him at the meeting anything you want…..think Des is the same…..great questions and great answers!

Dez does occasionally say he would prefer his next comment to not leave the room. I like what he said in pregame on the culture video. Said it was our TEAM vs their players. Seems like the idea of building a culture where virtually all people involved put the team first and their individual desires second is not just words in our case

I guess we will just have to censor misinformation

That is the strategy of one group of people , yes

I think,

Des has improved, super happy that he has, and he did well in the 4th quarter giving us a chance to win.

Ben’s composure and sheer determination in the 4th Qtr, was crucial. Can’t say enough about this because the game had very little flow to it, mistakes and injuries were dragging on any momentum created. He came through big time leading the team.

Our running game was very inconsistent, in part mostly to our OL being pushed around by a good DL. We still need a lot of improvement in this area. We did make some very nice 1st down conversion runs in the 4th qtr.

Our defense drives me nuts. Without those 2 great forced turnovers, we would have been in deep trouble. We give the other team so much cushion, we bend like marshmallows between the 20’s. However, we show great effort inside the 20. Also, we make just enough plays to stretch out drives, and it helps when the other team makes a crucial mistake.

Overall, a good win on the road. Geaux Cajuns.

Perhaps those other receivers had asked for a blow. Was not Ben’s best throw either

That's a tough throw especially with the DB under cutting the pass. If he throws it a fraction later, it could have been picked and likely returned for a TD. He was throwing as Johnson was breaking into the out route, timing is critical. The ball looked to be a little behind and low, but if Johnson had made a better/ sharper break into the out route the ball would have been right on him. The receiver needs to be ready, he wasn't.

It was the actual run plays that were called which was the problem. We consistently get stuffed when we try to run the ball wide on the zone stretch.

We consistently maul people when we run out of the pistol between the tackles.

The passing game with the exception of a few plays was pretty good.

By design, the zone stretch run plays require the RB to have good enough vision to look for cut backs as the zone blocks often create big gaps on the backside of the play.
