He wasn't even on the depth chart I found. I thought maybe he transferred. 

 

Has he been that bad in practice? Meyers seemed to have regressed and vantrease is very meh with out an elite running game. 

No he's a RS sophomore on the roster 

 

Had to learn a new system and is behind 2 experienced guys 

 

UB only lists the top 2 but I believe he is #3 ...  He was after spring ball... He's got a strong arm but not a lot of targets to throw to right now

Look, I am telling you I am on the edge of being pleasantly surprised.

 

I think 7-5 is still a possibility and whoa nelly I have fantasies of 8-4.

 

I think the Bulls have shown they are capable of playing well. They just have to stop screwing themselves.

This team ain't winning much with Vantrease at QB.  They have a gem in Q Williams, yet Vantrease will continually hold him back.

Vantrese went 6-1 last year, though we were primarily a running team. His problem this year is our gutted O-line. (Thanks again, Lance.) But I do think giving Myers a shot is worth doing.

Hard to believe Linguist has such long experience coaching DBs at the highest college and even pro levels. Because his DBs have looked absolutely clueless out there all night and no adjustments were ever made. 


This team is full of coaching issues and none of them have anything to do with being on the job short term.  So many simple errors over and over again. Not a good start to career for Mo

Lance looked like a turd his first two years so I'm willing to give Mo a mulligan season, especially with the short offseason he had. This team can obviously score and make plays but they are just shooting themselves in the foot. Entertaining losses.

Absolutely. I’m not impatient so much as surprised that a coach with that acumen and background didn’t even try to make adjustments in his secondary yesterday. But I’m still solidly behind the hire and wanna give him all the time he needs.

I want to as a coach why DBs never look back for the ball?

I played defensive back in college and coached it .. it really is the hardest position 

 

Especially with the way the rules have gone in the last 15 years

 

You'll see a lot more defensive backs play the ball in zone than in man... Wide receivers are so fast and agile now, that for most CBs in college.. not NFL quality ones.. while in man coverage they literally can't take their eye off the receiver for a second or they'll be cooked.. so they're trained to stay in the hip Pocket... And play the receiver's hands

 

Like Tre white style but not as good obviously... I'm not a fan of that technique.. but it seems to be the one that's most employed at the college level

It just looks like if they turned around they be able to make a play for the ball.

Absolutely... I think everybody yells at cbs to turn their head around and look for the ball 

 

Unfortunately, with the speed of the game I just know how hard it actually is... And UB is usually trotting out undersized CBs , who are already at a disadvantage fighting with bigger receivers
