During the post game interview he said tackling was bad, but he was going to fix that this week.
I assume that he is facetiously pointing out the degree to which posters have been attacked for expressing that there may be some cause and effect between the number of injuries we suffer and the S&C program. There is a group on here who seem to only remember when we were in the MWC and our players were bigger and stronger than the other teams and haven't noticed the last six seasons where the inverse has been true and that there seems to be an inordinate number of injuries and inordinate amount of time to get players back from injury.
It’s not a depth issue pertaining to quality athletes on the roster. Most athletic roster GP has ever had.
Yep one thing that GP hasn’t really done is adjust to what offenses are doing against his 4-2-5 now days. We also aren’t the only ones running it so it’s not that much of a different look like it used to be. Simple is a lot better when you have the dudes to do it. Look at the Briles offense. That is about as simple as it gets.
Oh, he adjusts. He ran a three man front against SMU and dropped the LBs into coverage for a good part of the game. Basically a 3-3-5.
Injuries are the norm with this program, unfortunately. Where's the depth that one expects from a P5 program! After the 1s, this team seems to drop off big time. Do the 2s get any decent time in practice?
yeah, that was just nuts. And it is like Dykes knew he would do that. So rip some more runs off. And if not, no worries, the secondary breaks down anyway.
I truly wish there were various choices for notating on a post in addition to 'Like' such as, 'Spot On!' or, 'Huh?' even, 'The Garbage Dump is just down the road a piece...'
Seems like the only time GP learned that lesson was the Alamo Bowl.
Dee's comments in post game still shock me. Saying they were not physically ready and players were chirping at the coach.
If you go back and listen to Gary talk about any of the numerous game losses since 2018 (and really back to 2012)...there is always a recurring theme:
Both great points. The Ducks don't lose their QB AND center...we lose by 50 points. On top of, I do not put much weight into bowl wins or loses. The teams are spent, they aren't playing for anything. And most have mentally checked out. Beating or losing to Oregon, Stanford, Cal, etc...the last game of the season, in a game that means nothing....stuff happens.
Pharm, neither have I done any in depth injury analysis, so i cant point to data from the NATA or NCAA that places TCU injury statistics above or below the curve. Casual observation points to perhaps practice injuries versus game time injuries since we see few game stoppage injuries resulting in lost playing time. (I go to games and see what TV doesnt) Again...casual observation, but year in year out, this medical staff seems to have trouble getting people back on the field. And, i personally wonder if this coaching staff doesnt beat the hell out of players in practice. I know football, and in football, you have to at certain points practice at full speed, but you've got to be smart about it too.
Well they got their 1st string QB for a half. We didn't have ours at all.
