I say all these things because I think we are better team than we have showed and hopefully so some changes can be made.
Coaching:
I have noted very slow/minimal coaching reactions to real time game situations.
Very little emotion even when there obvious bad calls.
We have "3" ex- App coaches and what I see does not resemble prior App coached teams - very seldom are they not up for a game.
And I am sure App had young players as well as does every other team.
Offense:
Way too much run up the middle on first down- some damn predictable.
IF we are not going to be able to open up big holes on offense (so far not) then we should use Spenser and Ferguson who can hit a tiny crease and go.
Change you mindset and try this .
If our line starts opening big holes let our bigger backs had some runs.
For three games I watched (Tyree - he is a great player and I love him) force the ball when receivers were not open. Also he is having trouble making the throws. Don't just hope things will change - coach- try Jones and see if we can hit more passes by noticing all receivers.
We seem to concentrate on the fly pattern thinking our receivers can outrun everyone.
I suggest the receivers coach work with the receivers on "good moves" and "double moves".
And please adjust to game situations "during the game" other than halftime.
Defense:
Obviously we really need to learn how to tackle. What I see is the defense are trying be "macho" and throw the players down dramatically - hell just get them down to the ground. Forget the dramatics.
The only player I see who can reach in and knock the ball away from defenders is a Freshman Kent, Jr. - obviously was taught in high school - definitely not at WCU - hell be could coach the whole team on this.
And this is really sore point - WCU - hasn't been- able"in 20 years"to coach defensive backs to turn to the ball - how hard can that be?
Also playing so far off the receivers guarantee 8-10 years - ala FIRST DOWN!
Who do we play Number 90 the whole game - he has got to be really tired why don't we let players rotate more - go lots of defensive lineman.
Got some freshmen who were noted for "bull rushes" - open your "thought process".
Also starting to get sloppy of penalties again.
You coaches better coach or we are get our butts handed to us in regular conference games.
And this stuff about getting a W and playing down to about a grade D to our potential is not how to build programs - hell Elon doesn't think like this!
