Miyagi-Do Karate

to be fair, his injury was always going to be a multi-week one. the one guy I am more annoyed at is Samuel. Given how little he actually gets the ball and is contacted at least by a tackler, his injury rate is absurdly high. An elbow and neck? Give me a break.

I know this is probably unfair to them, but if they can figure out a way to beat Houston and Kansas, this could be the actual return to Syracuse basketball. I just feel like a ton is riding on these next games for the entire future of the program and Autry.

Finally got to see these guys against Monmouth. Sort of a gritty win. The officiating was dreadful, and I felt impacted how they wanted to play on defense. This Houston game could be one of the biggest games for them in a long time.

i seriously can’t believe this worked with mark andrews. It was a very slow developing play too, with him sort of looping around slowly.

beat me to it. 😁

During the drought, there were so many project and reclamation DLs that always got my hopes up. Stroud. How about a Marcus Jones? He was a stud for TB, but then got here and had microfracture knee surgery (which at the time was a death sentence, but now is like nothing). Then there Chidi Anhatou, who commuted from Toronto!

this is awesome stuff! Great job!

was torn between the laughing and crying emoji.

Anyone else only think of Marcus Stroud when you see the name “Stroud”?

Dude looks like Merton Hanks out there.

that wasn’t even the worst call. Remember that so-called “blind side block” at the end of the game? It knocked us out of FG position. We were about to kick to win that game!!

well, I respectfully disagree after seeing the film. He had anyone he wanted within 5 yards of the LOS, and didn’t want it. The dolphins did a nice job against the run, but the short passing game was there all day.

I agree with a lot of this. It requires a high level of execution and being on schedule. But I would disagree that Miami took anything away from us. All the short stuff was there, but Josh refused to take any of it.

haha. I have not seen this skit!

Agreed. TB ST was basically a mirror image of us. Total train wreck on those KR’s.

but everyone on here thinks we are suddenly going to drop 40 on them?! I am telling you— the gameplan needs to be to play super clean. No sacks, no picks, take what the D gives you in the passing game.

I feel like Coddrington went straight to the dog house after 1 muffed punt. Maybe Hardeman gets more of a leash because he is a WR and we can use him on offense. I will say that it was disappointing that he couldn’t haul in that long bomb. Perfectly thrown.

I think our odds of winning in the playoffs is better playing how we did against KC, as opposed to how we played against TB. People’s perceptions are skewed because TB pass defense isn’t great. Curtis Samuel isn’t making toe tapping catches on 3rd and long against KC.

how do we historically lose to the jets? Some dumb interception or fumble and some ST gaffe. When we beat them, it’s always playing a clean game and letting them make the mistakes. texans D is elite. They are going to try to capitalize on our big mistakes. It’s their only chance to win.

i don’t know, man. I don’t see the Texans doing anything on offense. I just worry about turnovers giving them a chance to score points. I would prefer to play very conservatively, especially on a short week.

All you guys saying HOF, slow your roll! I think he is a second ballot HOFer only.

agreed. I know what play you are talking about too. I think it was the long tucker TD catch (not to be confused with the long Tucker TD run!). Bernard strikes me as very slow from a reaction point. Milano strikes me knowing where to go, but not being able to physically get there. taron seems to just be out of sorts— maybe playing too undisciplined to make up for physical shortcomings?

I am with you. The fatter, the better. Need some big thumpers to hit some guys.
