Thoughts From the Bench Press: Wake Forest

Love the write up, as always, dog.

I will say, though, Dawson gets a good amount of **** for “not utilizing the Tight Ends,” but it’s not as much on him as I think people believe.

Arroyo and the tight ends are out there running spread and LOS release routes. They’re very much a big part of the passing scheme and they’re also open a TON in the check down game and that’s where a lot of tight ends feast at both the college AND pro level.

Cam just doesn’t take those check downs. If he starts to dump the ball off to the Tight Ends more instead of going for the big play every time: 1) Arroyo gonna eat and 2) we are gonna get back to killing teams.

You mean like how Arroyo was wide open just waiting while Ward looked all over the field until he was strip sacked to end the GT game and give us our only loss of the year?

I just wanted to make the joke to be honest

I don’t agree with how amped up people get. Dawson has been great this year. People give Cam the credit when the offense is humming but then keep saying how Cam is missing wide open receivers and check downs

Uh so ok…Dawson is calling those plays

And we start off STRONG. We’ve got an absurd TD ratio on our first and second drives of the game

Starting slow on offense is a thing of the past

We had a bad game on offense. It happens. My comment about Arroyo is because I was just sitting there yelling at the screen and it was even more glaring on replay. Had it not ended in a strip sack, it wouldn't even have stayed in my goldfish-like memory.

But the defense has dropped off a lot since the start of the season. That tells me we need an infusion of talent, because even if it is a couple of injuries, we need depth.

Well I think your post just proved the point it’s not Dawson refusing to scheme TEs

That’s just a dumb narrative our fans been clinging to I wanted to poke fun at

Ok ok the Adderall/DMAA mix is clearly kicking in so before we hit that other dimension let’s fill those vials, swab them cheeks, and limber up for BENCCCCHHHH DAYYYYUUUHHHH!

The Miami Hurricanes are fresh off their first loss of the season in horrifying, tragic, disgusting fashion to none other than those same Georgia Tech Yellowjackets

View attachment 311577

Every flaw the Hurricanes had all caught up at the same time. An uncharacteristically inefficient offense and the most pathetic defense I’ve seen since Tina tried to stand up to Ike

But let’s be real. Nothing is easy for this team. We lost this game because….of course we ******* did. We’ve been living a charmed life all season and finally the football gods were like

View attachment 311620

Watching that defense I just felt like Kellen Winslow. “I’m ****ed. All yall take this down IM ****ED. We don’t care about nobody but This U”

View attachment 311560

**** Georgia Tech. **** them and everything they stand for. Right now they are the Yankees and we are Pedro Martinez. That’s it

As luck would have it, Miami had a bye last week and it couldn’t have come at a better time. We could be closer to getting a few pieces back to help the team for the final stretch, but most importantly this team needed to do some soul searching

Hopefully they spent the off week in the lab on offense and at a ******* Couples Retreat on defense to work on their communication

We don’t need Lance Guidry we need Jordan ****** Peterson or some ****

Fortunately for us the ACC continues to do ACC things so we still control our destiny when it comes to the ACC Championship game

Next up? Another lower mid conference team that’s gonna likely cause us some issues:

Wake Forest

What can you even say about them? ****. Nothing really.

View attachment 311616

So let’s focus on us because this game is only about The U

THIS is why we win:

Cam: As usual the season will go as far as he can carry us. He had a “bad” game last week and hit 350 and 3 TDs again. All that did was basically eliminate him from the Heisman apparently. The only “downside” with him is he sometimes turns 13 years old and just feels himself too much. But he’s still the best QB in college football and Cam has been the Lisa Ann of college football where each comeback seems to be more impressive than the last. I expect Alpha Mamba Mentality type **** this week. Wake Forest is a horrible pass defense and Cam needs this to get back in the race

Kiko: He’s been AWFUL this year but so has everyone else. This whack *** cheating slow mesh **** Wake Forest runs is begging for a guy like Kiko to go all Alvin Mack on them. Just attack it. Blow it up. He can’t cover for **** anyway so just wind that dude up and let him rip. Guidry needs to use him like Danny Bateman in the Replacements. Get me the ball, Kiko

View attachment 311621

Arroyo: Dawson treats this guy like a married couple that’s been together for twenty years. One shot and he’s done for the night. I get that with so many weapons you can’t target everyone all the time but a TE that runs like a god**** gazelle being chased by a Lion needs the ball. Stop throwing screens to this dude (especially to the SHORT side of the ******* field my god) and get this guy abusing the seam like Johnny Sins

X: Man. What can you even say about this dude? His final game at home. A kid that makes a case to be on the Mt Rushmore of Miami given his stats, work ethic, and class. I’m not a Yankees fan but Mariano Riveras last game is etched in my memory. I hope wherever we are as fans (since The U is worldwide) we are able to take a moment and appreciate what he’s meant to this team. From a low ranked recruit, to relentless ridiculous Berrios comparisons, to people still *****ing he was being targeted too much, to finishing his career as one of the best receivers in program history. I salute the **** outta you

View attachment 311625

Verdict: We **** the bed last week. No way around it. We are notorious under Mario for dropping multiple games in a row but also being bad off of a bye week. But those years are behind us. Last time we had a bye our offense came out and made the Louisville defense look like children. Now we face a legitimately bad defense

Our fanbase got what it needed last week. We deserved that. Our flaws are obvious but they’re not going anywhere so let’s stop being little hoes about it and act accordingly. We got this

Great post! I agree. I will take two wins any way we can have them against wake and Syracuse. Smu will be a dogfight with our D. First things first though. This wake game.

Cam ward deserves the Heisman as he is that special and I just hope we can make the playoff and make a run as he is the best QB to ever come through here. We will miss him next year so I want to enjoy these last games with him as our starting QB.
