We dont have deep threat WR who can get seperation; I agree with the short passing game using RB,TE or slot; this should help open the deeper ball when the DB start closing up on the line of scrimmage.

I think we should also go to the power running game using double TE & a FB.

Teams now no SBU weakness at pass coverage; this is due to the injuries & are 1# DB leaving the team.

 I would send pressure as much as possible on the D side; we havven't put much pressure on the offence up the middle.

I know that I have been hammering the staff pretty hard recently.  one encouraging thing I saw vs. Elon was that Carbone was actually on a head set with Behrman when the offense was on the sidelines.  that did not happen in earlier games to the best of my recollection. 

heard an interesting thing on Monday Night Football yesterday regarding relationship between Cam Newton and his O coordinator Mike Shula.  Shula won the Best Coordinator award in the NFL last season for his work with Newton.  Three of the key things Shula does are: is open minded about play calling, listens to his QB, and calls plays that his QB is comfortable running.  I think our staff gets a grade of  "F"  on all of those items.

this discussion is very... al pacino and steamin willie beaman

"I think the loss is on my back," Carbone said. "That was my fault. I played a pretty bad game. I take responsibility for that loss."

At this point in the season, it’s a little ridiculous that these kids aren’t better stage-managed in their quotes to the press, because this is a third-rate talent being asked to shoulder the failure of his coaches. There is NO WAY this kid should be running plays out of two or three-wide formations. If he and the running backs are going to succeed in rushing the ball, they need more big bodies at the point of attack. The kid didn’t fail. You could argue that they wasted a scholarship (and if you ask the people in the stands, that’s not even the argument, for Carbone or Bednarski). But, the offensive system that Priore employs, with all of its plays and formations, depends on a consistent running game and a quarterback who doesn’t make bad decisions. That he chose to continue to run that system when the team had neither turned this season into a disaster. There were hints of this late last season. Someone isn’t paying attention and, because of that, we get sound bites like this:

"I told the team this before the game: I've got four games to coach in maybe my career because who knows? Who knows what's going to happen tomorrow morning?" Priore said.

So, now we have this guy, this bizarro Knute Rockne, giving pregame suicide speeches to his team. Fire him now, before he does any more damage. The season is already shot.
