Cajuns Concerns

[CrappDaddy]

The sad truth is that this team is 2-3 in it's last 5 games and one of the wins was a nail biter where if Tulane had started the 2nd string QB, they probably would have won. I'ts a tough pill to swallow, but South Alabama exposed us last year and everyone will follow that template.

The template has been there since New Mexico State last season. Our zone D has been picked apart since that game.

Cajun Concerns, Lets try and be honest with ourselves here........

QB: Broadway can run, but he can not throw.
WRs: Besides Butler and Robinson (who is now out)....WR dropping passes, sloppy sloppy routes....
DBs: Same problem as last year.......we are extremely vulnerable up the middle.
RBs: Still Dominating.....
That is spot on!!!

I know a dozen or so of the regulars will chime in and dismiss me again....This thread will probably be sidelined.....but if we are honest with ourselves, we may be a tad bit overrated.

Playing like we are now, we will be 1-3 the by the time conference rolls around......

In defense of the Cajuns last night, however little it may be... Manny Diaz (DC from LTU) is one of the best out there. He will be at a bigger school next yr.
** down side is Willis (DC at UL) is horrible and will not move to a bigger school.

I never thought our sheer talent would get that dominated by "a Tech". I've always been suspicious of our Xs and Os coaching. The defensive coaching is the absolute worst. And our line coaching, both sides, is pathetic. We got to a certain level (and flat-lined at that point) by Hud's hype. He's got the best hype in this business. What he doesn't seem to have is technical coaching skills. And his staff doesn't either. We have some extremely good athletes that still have high school abilities. No one knows what to do to either shed blocks and tackle on defense. And no WRs know how to run a route or how to get separation. The schemes we run don't baffle a child.

If the Southern game was our "vanilla" system, and this game was our "rocky road"... our coaches don't know how to make ice cream. They only recruit good milk, eggs and sugar... put it all in a blender... and yell hype at it.

The only question I have is why has our game plan stayed the exact same since last year? We have not adjusted at all on either side of the ball.

Well 2 questions...why are our WR's never open and never catch the ball in space but every team we face has a guy open on every down.

If by any chance you recorded the game, watch the receivers routes, they are rounded off and sloppy, Butler (one of our 2 best receivers) didn't even get a pass thrown his direction.....He didn't have a single touch....just terrible

I usually rewatch every game. I can't stomach watching this game again. Maybe in a few days but not today.

Another thing, why the crap is there a true freshman WR who has dropped two passes already this season in the game. NOW HE IS RETURNING KICK OFFS....my goodness, are we that desperate? Do we not have any depth in the WR dept?

Are you talking about the true freshman who was our leading reciever last night? That one? From what I saw last night it may be time to give more young guys some shots.

Yeah I stuck my foot in my mouth on that one right before that final drive, he did great that final drive! Hopefully he will keep that going! I agree with you, I think they should give some of the hungry younger guys a shot, obviously it cant get any worse.
