does anyone know what the chances are of Ruben Johnson getting an additional year of eligibility after he blew his knee out at Buffalo?  he is a great player.  but he has a long rehab in front of him, for MAYBE one more year of football.

 Reuben Johnson needs to be granted a medical waiver to be able to play next year. It would be his sixth year of eligibility if he is granted one. It would be the same as Chris Fenelon last year being granted that sixth yr. Coker would only be applying for the 5th yr so that should not be an issue.

yes, I heard that Coker was just going to use his redshirt year for this season, since he still had that available to use.

I hate to be the one sounding the alarm but this is a MUST win for the Brooks if there's any hope for a playoff run. 1 and 3 in the CAA is a disaster !

Damn... I don't think is a must win. is the second ranked team in the nation so I its not like everyone is expecting us to win. New Hampshire, @Maine, Richmond, Albany will probably determine our fate

Think back to 2011 (started 0-3 which included a loss to Brown) and we were still able to make the playoffs. I think we still have a good shot. We just gotta turn the season around in the next couple of weeks.

 This game will not break the season if we lose but it will be a major feather in our cap if we pull out a win. You are only as good as your last game so let's not assume this is a walk over for Towson. SB should be hyped to be at home and Priore has found a way all these years to make adjustments and have the team respond after a couple of loses. SB is not an upstart program anymore so we have to expect good football to be played with young guy's stepping up.

So basically our NFL prospect and starting RB Coker is out for the year. Our backup to Coker, Jamie Williams is out for 4 weeks. That leaves Poteat who hasn't shown his STARS yet, and our Freshman Tyler Fredericks who is green to our Depth chart!. Looks like our running game is officially done for this year..  Our starting defensive line is half gone to injuries and now disciplinary issues,,,  Yikesss, this sickens  me just writing !!!

 Bernard is the only def lineman that is down, Nakawaasa is a LB. As far as the RB situation goes I think we all agree that it is wide open as that Williams did not secure the starting spot. A lot of us on here have been wanting to see Kenner get a shot and now it seems like he will. You got to turn negatives into positives, the sky is not falling, we have just suffered a lot of injuries. This might be a year were young guy's get a lot of seasoning and we will be better for it the next couple of years.

I agree with Chrissy. The more playtime the young guys get the more likely we are to be a better team. So that's good in a way even though we may suffer the consequences. Hopefully two or three of these guys have a break out season starting tomorrow. Hey, you never know! ;)

But what's the deal with ALL the late afternoon starts for the home games.  That stinks. Who's ideas was thar? 6 and 4 pm starts?  Is la Valle doing something else earlier in the afternoons on game day?

 They pushed back start times a couple of years ago and it has made a huge difference with attendance. As the season goes the times get earlier. The late times allow a lot more families from the island to attend due to the fact that there child's youth sports are over well before the game starts. This has also allowed the tail gaiting to become more of a part of the gameday atmosphere. I for one love the late starts cause that means more adult beverages and food. Just because the team is banged up doesn't mean you can't have fun in the parking lot.

6pm is a must. that means all my buddies and I can get trashed in the lot by gametime ( LOL )... and tailgating goes hand in hand with football. A team could suck, but if the tailgating is good people will still come. I hope the homecoming tailgate is as good as it was last year.

This is at the expense of the people that have a long drive but I think overall is better for all. I myself have to catch the 10:17PM LIRR train back to New York so I'll be getting home after 1AM... No worries. Lets go Seawolves

I was not impressed with Towson game today but I was disappointed with SB.,,,,,, Priore really needs to get a handle on his guys with those ridiculous penalties. Todays game was like watching the JETS !!...... What the hell happen to Negron the last 3 minutes??? and why didn't SB throw the ball...... I have 50 questions to ask priore if he was in front of me right now. Ughhhhhhhhhhhhh !!!!!!!

Ok. When you put it like that it sounds terrible... but we both know that was a hell of a game. Stony Brook shot it self in the balls
 (I really though we had a shot at winning ) after the half... things started to go wrong as soon as we fumbled that punt. Nonetheless we played a good game against an outstanding team from towson. I feel better about this team than last week. Really gotta clean up our game. all those penalties are not sexy.

Its all good though. Win homecoming and ill be happy. Not all has been lost. Weve been 1-3 before. We can pick this up

Also, I thought that a late home opener would affect attendance. Nevermind that, this may be the highest opening day attendance since the opening of LaValle back in 2002. I was wrong and I'm glad.

 First off taigait was great, attendance was even better. I got to watch my brother go out for the ceremony before the game at mid field so that for me was cool. As for you Chairman sorry you couldn't make it but next week your on, joewillie and I will be there and let's set something up. As far as the game goes yes it was sloppy on the penalty side and disappointing but you have to remember that Towson was the 2nd ranked team and they are good. What I saw was true SB football with the double and sometimes triple TE's, witch made a huge difference in the running gm. All I hear is that we have to pass more and running the ball today was not why they lost. The punt hitting our guy was a momentum changer and those penalties killed them, but they didn't play poorly I thought they played well. Again this team is beat up and I don't have to mention who's out, you take guy's like that off other teams and they wouldn't be able to compete. Kenner really impressed me today and looks like they have found something in him, Poteat played well too but I like Kenner's game. As far as Priore goes he is a damn good coach with a damn good staff. They made the adjustments that had to be made from last week and as an underdog took Towson to the limit. Again when you have a recipe for success you don't scrap it so you can reinvent the wheel, you stick with what got you to the dance. Cheeseboro left the gm and that should be a bigger concern than how many times they passed the ball. Chairman hit me up!!!

Post by: ecasadoSBU on September 29, 2013, 01:58:14 am
Totally agree Chrissy. by any means not hitting the panic button. Stony Brook has shown incredible depth... just need to win the two ooc games and get back on track for what surely will be a competitive game against UNH. Fully backing our staff. We can pick this up, I'm sure we can. Lets go Seawolves.

Expect a soldout crowd and great atmosphere next week. Pray for sunny skies. Will get to the Brook at about 9-10am. Catching the second morning train to eastbound. Can't wait. i hope that the parking lot is not over regulated, that would be a killer


----->

Sat on the student section cuz I still love it. I felt great. I got a good vibe from the freshmen. they came out and learned the chants. They didn't let me down. We are definitely getting to that point in which we can regularly pack LaValle. Towson's fan support was also respectable so that helps.

I agree. That punt was the game changer and we most likely would have won but the bigger issue now is injuries, Cheeseboro on D and thats a huge problem, I was siting right behind him when he came out and looked to be ok. Hopefully he can play next week.

 We had a chance to tie the game late in the 4th and Negron was marching down the field nicely but, but that fell apart on a couple of mistakes made by Negron. Thats college football for you. It's so much easier to call the game from the stands and being a monday morning quarterback,  !!!

I must say Towson Defense is HUGE, their Nose Tackle is something like 6-6" and 330 lb. Thats quite difficult to try and run through..

Post by: Chairman of the Board on September 29, 2013, 01:25:37 pm
chrissy i agree with your analysis- i think we did well in the jumbo and i saw wide open holes in the first half.  also our RBs have speed to get around those the corner, and in those jumbo formations, youve got a wide field on both sides so lots of room to run.

i did think our O line did a reasonably good job against the large towson defensive front.  but they ran right up our A gap too many times for 7-9 yards.

maybe what we need is a two-RB attack with kenner and poteat, i dunno.  Towson might be the best CAA run defense we see, and id argue we had a good day there, at least in the first half. 

the punt ruined us, same thing happened in the giants game last week, but really, the back to back personal fouls spotted the tigers what 40 yards?  i dunno i couldnt see the video feed crapped out....

Post by: Chrissy D. on September 29, 2013, 03:13:07 pm
 After a big stop to open the 2nd half they lost that punt, put them on a short field and like a good team does they capitalized. The next def series with those back to back penalties wasn't a back breaker cause we held to a long FG, but you could see the momentum turning. Still with the 1pt lead in the fourth was when Cheeseboro went out and I think it was 2 plays later they broke the big TD run. Would hope to think that Cheese makes a difference on that play cause he might be our best open field tackler. I could see him on the table on the sideline but could not see what he was favoring. Hopefully maybe rolled an ankle and it wasn't a knee.

 I don't want to throw cold water  on the season but our remaining  CAA schedule is tough and Bryant and Colgate are not  cupcakes.  With our growing injury list we could be looking at a 4-7 or 5-6 year.  Our wide outs kept us the game last night. Eugene has great hands and was in the game mentally all night . He kept cheering on the fans from the sidelines. Our D made some great stops on most downs. I don't think we will face a runner like West again this season.  Now lets beat Bryant!

Post by: ecasadoSBU on September 30, 2013, 01:11:42 am
Colgate is 0-4 and loss to a struggling Albany team at home. They also lost to Yale and got routed by New Hampshire. I don't think this is the Colgate we are accustomed to talent-wise. We should be able to compete well and pull a win with the depth we have. Our guys played Towson well despite the result.

If we can't beat Bryant at Home on Homecoming night in front of a potential routy sellout crowd, a NEC foe not offering full scholarships, then our season is a wash. The next to game should be expected victories, nothing less.

We do have to get healthy and bounce back... its starting to look like the south (Towson and Delaware and Nova) could run away with it this year. 

We dominated TOP for most of the game but couldnt hold on.  Ironic that we were awful on 3rd down, have to fix that.   

At least attendance was good.  What time are you guys out there for Wolfstock?  I have an engagement at 3-430, but i can meet after that.  And potentially before that, i should be arriving around 145.

despite the final score, the D was a real bright spot on Saturday.  they kept the game close, and when it counted, they forced Towson to punt (unfortunately we all know what happened on that punt return).  after that change of momentum, our O was unable to generate much first downs, and the D had to spend way too much time on the field towards the end of the game.  I look at it this way, "welcome to the CAA Stony Brook".  we need to get our legs under us this season.  we will have some very good players coming back next season, including Coker.  we still have lots of shots to finish strong this year and get an At Large playoff spot.  all is not lost..... ;D

The D 2nd string players are not talented enough yet to fill in when the starters go down; that was very evident when the MLB & Safety went down in the 4th quarter. Towson ran right through the D in the forth quarter; 33 is a beast he made some incredible plays stuffing the run. Towson running back was 253#; when 33 came through the line n hit the running back  he went back 2 yards & hit the turf. I was very impress with his motor n physical play on the field.

The offence has a hard time keeping drives alive; they scored 14 points in the first 7 minutes; this happen because of a great pic from the D. I thought they look very predictable in the 2nd half; Towson made adjustments on D in the 2nd half  & shut down the run.  I did not see adjustments from Stony Brook in the second half; I only recall one deep pass in the game. If you do not stretch the field the D will play the run n stuff the line of scrimmage & the short passing game.

I did enjoy watching  plays with the TE in motion; this give several new options on blocking & the passing game.

We have to many weapons in the passing game & running game not to have a more effective attack. I have also notice in the last 2 game that the QB stares down his receiver; he doesn't go through his progression to find an open receiver. His pocket awareness breaks down at times & he takes too long getting rid of the ball; with time I am hopeful he gets better awareness.

I didn't expect the team to be as good as last year; but with the talent they  brought into the program from D1-1A teams i thought they could compete with teams in the CAA.

I am hopeful that they get healthy & play competitive ball in the second half of the year.

ddmd. I agree with your assessment that we absolutely should have have thrown the ball more. We have Coxson and Eugene who two of the best WR in the CAA, why not utilize them a lot more ? As far as the defense goes we are limited because of injuries and our 2nd string boys  are very green..

Negron is a senior but he is still learning the game. had he started last year he who have adjusted faster .. On the topic of Q.. I would really love to see a Freshman come in and play for 4 or 5 years. Thats how you win games. Have an experience Q from day one, Like Manzel......

I agree re: the passing game, and especially stretching the defense.  As I've said before on this board, I don't know why Jahrie Level isn't being called on more.  He proved with a couple of catches in the Villanova game that he has good hands, and from what I saw of his clips he can really run after the catch.  So, once in awhile I would like to see Eugene, Coxson and Level in together.  That should open up some things!!

Also, as I've also mentioned before, I was glad to see James Kenner in there frequently.  I think he has now proven trustworthy, and may be a key going forward.

I brought this subject up before, about the O being too one dimensional, and based around a very good running back like Maysonet and Coker.  with Coker out, we need to mix things up more, and get the balls in the hands of our receivers.  especially on down the field pass plays, not just quick slants or swing passes.  In Negron's defense, he has not seen continuous QB action since his JC days at Bakersfield, three years ago.  you can only start a frosh QB if you actually have that talent level sitting on the bench.  apparently we do not, hence the coaching staff has gone out to the JCs to get QB talent.  from what I can tell from film and stats, it appears that Bednarski has the skill set we need to mix things up in the passing game.  but since he is redshirting this year, we will have to wait to spring ball to see if the coaching staff takes advantage of his skill set over the present set of QBs in the mix.

 My issue with Negron is not talent, it is the fact that by starting him you will now have back to back 1st year starters this season and next. At this point I think we have seen enough and it might be time to take a look at D'Amato. I was not at practices and by no means do I know more than the coaches but it does worry me that you would enter two season's in a row with no experience starting at your QB position ( I am not counting JC exp ). This year they had no choice but to start a 1st year guy, but by starting Negron they set themselves up for that scenario next year as well. You can take a redshirt off a guy at anytime so I think it is time that we see what else we have. Remember Essington took over at 1-3 at that turned out well. I know Coulter was hurt but Essington was clearly better. I like Negron as a guy that can come off the bench and pull out a win. I have seen enough to say that they need a change.

Ousmane Camara is listed on the depth chart. Do you think priore will let him play this Saturday. God knows we really could use him now !!!!

I know Kevin hauter is our NT and he is good for is size but, his weight is only 260 and I think thats small for that position. Towson NG was 330 pounds and 6 6" and he was very difficult to move from our OL.. I think Priore really needs to find a anchor this off season who can clog the run up the middle !!

What do you guys think !!

 Hauter is a beast. He is a high motor guy that plays with relentless aggression. Priore likes speed on the DL that's why Camara was  moved there ( he was LB in high school ). Camara has been listed on the depth chart for 3 weeks now and is probably there in case they need him. Priore likes to rotate the DL so the 1st and 2nd guys on the chart all play. Hauter is backed up by Dante Allen who is another stud that can play all the positions on the line. Hauter is a 3 yr player and 2yr starter so he is going no were. The DL is one of there strengths. The nose guard from Towson didn't beat us, the bad penalties and the muffed punt did. I do like Camara but would rather not see him burn a redshirt yr for a handful of plays. Would rather see him play 4 full yrs.
