Frog Attack II

1) great bounce back win. Had to have it to stay relevant at all
2) QB: Hoover can really sling that ball... Has a CB mentality regarding INT's - short memory... That said, his first one was ill-advised for sure. I think the 2nd one was on Savion. Need him to run more. I like inserting Hauss for some plays here and there, just need to mix it up so it's not so obvious it's a QB power. And @Hauss, don't go out of bounds when we're trying to run clock!
3) RB: no doubt Payne should be the starter... Hits the hole much quicker than Cook. Night and day difference once he got going.
4) OL: better! We'll see better defenses down the road but I finally saw a push, especially late in the game.
5) WR: I don't recall a drop yesterday. Maybe a bad route or 2 but that's a really good group. JJE did some nice things as well. What can you say about Bech? Wow
6) special teams: good and bad. Great job JP and blockers! FG kicker needs some work - zero confidence.
7) DL: waaaaay too small. Don't eat up many blocks and we stunt like crazy (most of the time out of the play). Although, an unheralded play from the game was the batted pass on 3rd & goal that forced a kick. That defensive stand was massive and they played better late in the game... But we are way behind recruiting / NIL with this bunch.
8) LB: not bad. Frustrating at times but decent at times. Struggling to understand why #4 isn't making more tackles. Seems to get eaten up too easy. Maybe that's on the DL statement above too. The most important thing to me yesterday was that we FINALLY covered an RB wheel route in the 3rd qtr... Believe it was #33. I was shocked.
9) DB: Canada had a great game IMO. 13 - not so much. Need to make some chgs... #2 though played an outstanding game... Was everywhere. Clark plays like an upper class men sometimes and then like a freshman at times.
Coaching: I was ok with it. Best OC plan in a while - actually tried to run the ball and controlled the clock for the most part. That 4Q 6 min drive was beautiful! DC - it's really hard to grade IMO. We made some stops and clearly some adjustments as the 2nd half was much better... But with this DL, it's so hard to tell what our plan is.... Biggest weakness on the team.
I hear a lot about the penalties and it being the coaching and the undisciplined nature of the team. I agree to a certain extent, but man these kids do dumb sh_t, which they've been taught not to do since pee wee football. Maybe the coaching piece is that they need to be yanked out of the game immediately... I just can't explain some of it.
