Bighill is waaaaaaaay too slow out there, it?s embarrassing

Nah one of the best all time that has been very good this year

Biggie isn't embarrassing he is dominant but yes older

[GOLDMEMBER]

I think the O needs to step up just a bit.

[dd]

every single first tackle has been missed

Bingo. Sloppiest game by our defense yet, they better wake the hell up!! 15-0 now, gotta score to get some momentum back before this gets out of hand

[Tee42]

2nd half team. It stops here.  

[Pete]

Were not talking the year...we are talking this game. Bighills not the only one but hes the most obvious

[TecnoGenius]

starting to look like going light on the DL wasn?t smart against a run first team

EDM isn't/wasn't a run-first team.  They are only a run-first team tonight.  Any blind monkey could have told you this was going to be the gameplan.  But Hall and MOS decided we don't need a spy and we aren't stuffing the box or LoS.

This is a repeat of the Crum game.  Why do we suck so bad when facing a "new" and running QB?  Just do what the teams who have now stopped Crum have done.

ASSIGN A SPY NOW

LOAD THE BOX

THEY WILL RUN 60% OF THE TIME

Ford will miss 75% of deep throws.  Leave that open and shut down the run/short.  That's it, that's all.  Make them work to get yards and scores.

Elks O playing physical and very, very fast.  The O drives are very fast, with few substitutions.  D needs to wake up.

There we go, they said Bombers won toss and deferred.

We need some TOP or D will be too tired to stop the run.

You should be coaching I guess.  We will adjust.

He will make some plays, give it time.

You seen both TD?s?? He?s running like he?s 80 out there!!

[Pete]

if ever oshea is gonna lose his temper it should be soon....

[dd]

I don?t know how we can play this bad, but I m going for a walk, I can?t watch this crap

MOS/Hall never adjusted vs Crum.  MOS stated many times "assignment sound" and doesn't want a special thing like a spy for a running QB.

It's how we lost to Crum and how we probably lost the GC to Kelly on 2nd & 17.

Where is Wilson?  I haven't seen Wilson anywhere on these massive run plays.  He's the speedster run stopper.  Why is he in the wrong place?

[TecnoGenius]

He gets animated, a bit.  But he never loses his temper, especially against his own guys.

Biggie is old, his play is generally awesome.  He is old, yes he can get burnt.  His speed varies a bit. Nothing to worry about.  Still a top LB, end off.  I don't over react to a single play, a single game.  I like to look at the bigger picture.  The bigger picture tells me Biggie is still great.  Yes I seen him get burnt.

[TecnoGenius]

Don't worry, it's a 60 min game.  If they go up 3+ scores, then start to panic.
