UM vs. Duke

[CaneShake]

The acc in whole is probably the worst conference of the bigs and I understand the ncaa and our troubles but no excuse for this d. No matter what you have to believe they are better then duke.

 

[Saltycane]

D sucks

 

[NosniknoT]

Smashmouth football is what we need. We cannot win a shoot out with this d. Run the ball over and over until they show they can stop it

 

[LuCane]

But I thought all of those defensive players who got their asses kicked last year were better this year?

lol this isn't NCAA 14 where you can get better simply by having another birthday. The upperclassman on this team simply are not great football players. Some are borderline good football players but that is as far as it goes. I don't care if Bill Belichick came in as HC, this group of kids is not going to become all americans. Most of these kids reached their ceilings. Unfortunately, the reality is that those ceilings equate to a slightly above average football team

You're right. It's either be an All-American or literally allow people to run over you. Two options. That's it.

We can't even play defense as well Memphis. Memphis has better defensive talent than we do. I finally see the light.

 

[LA\^/]

I guess FSU dominating us really got to our players... Maybe it demoralized them and they lost their edge... It's a possibility.

Funny, when VT lost I thought that we would control the game. How foolish was that?

THIS ISNT ****IG COACHING ANYMORE OUR LINE IS SO ****ING BAD

You have to ask yourself why the defense looks like they don't even want to be on the field.

They're playing for EVERYTHING and they look completely unenthused. Someone who's pounding that "the players all suck" drum PLEASE, PLEASE give me an explanation for that.

Thanks in advance.

they look unenthused because they are consistently getting their **** pushed in. Not sure how looking enthused would help the team right now. Pretty sure most of the people on the bored would go ape**** on a dude if he pounded his chest a few times after stopping a guy 20 yards down the field.

 

[ADELPHI]

Unreal that we don't have even ONE ****** leader on our squad. The Fuller brothers are freshmen and they have more grit and leadership qualities than anyone on our team. This is a soft, neutered team. They are content with eeking out wins every now and then so they can jump around with Al in the locker room afterwards.

 

[L A M P]

Let's just hope Coley comes back healthy in this 2nd half.

 

[Loafers]

This is beyond embarrassing. Duke is pushing the d line back 4-5 yards on every play. Quit giving the players an excuse saying that they don't want to play for the coach. I call bs. Someone switch out the skates and get these kids some cleats and while they are at it go see the wizard about getting a heart

 

[stat1124]

Should have left wit LuCane. Gonna Pour me a Jameson and kick back and watch the circus of the 2nd half. No reason to stress anymore, we just aren't very good! Late Peeps!

Duke controls their own destiny now also. One team got the message.

 

[Canediver]

For those of you who think this is mostly on the players, do you really believe we'd have this kind of defensive results if Bud Foster were calling the scheme and plays? I sure don't.

 

[4Canes]

The lack if fire is really disappointing.
As a third generation fan of this program I'm really shell shocked at what it's become.

 

[CaneShake]

We have fat and buddy coaches who think they got a free ride. They are getting fatter?

 

[ADELPHI]

we will finish the year losing 3 out of 4. Unreal. Higher ups need to step in because this is embarrassing.

 

[Westorangecane]

This defense has gotten worse over the last 3 years, not better

 

[sotacane22]

this passive zone playing ten yards back is pretty depressing

 

[BigCaneAl]

Sadly as soon as I saw Maryland won I fully expect us to lose...I'm just so used to disappointment.

Yup. Said it above. That's the worst part.

Lifeless. Hired. Sad. Uninterested. Dead inside.

Ugh.

I would say that players not giving a crap proves that they suck.
