ReLoad is in Belichek mode, he's moved on to Trinity. Putting this one in the rearview.
I believe it was Josh Jones
Have to assume Chase is getting the keys moving forward
If by bunker you mean my parents basement, then yes.
6 trips to the red zone, 362 yards of offense, 20 first downs (3 more than your opponent) and only 10 points and lose by 32
I’ll rank them with a slight modification to one of your categories
Thank you Mr. Clueless
Thank you Mrs. Clueless
Thank you cousin clueless = Trey
Specht doesn’t care what people think or say about him.
He publicly took responsibility for the week 2 loss at Loyola: “I’ll own this one. We weren’t ready to play”. He blamed himself, and he could have blamed a lot of things….
Fire Coverdale and/or Brodbeck? He loves both hires.
In pre-season I called it what it was - a lack of playing experience since 19 of last year’s 22 starters were seniors, most of whom were 2 year starters.
We have a winner.
If there are any hams left send this guy one too.
Have to believe after everything that happened Friday night that this is the case
Youre right, that end of game FG sparked a fire on the offense and defense. Really changed things.
I have mad respect for Specht, but I've never heard him talk like that after a game. I just agreed it was odd he brought that to the press. He wasn't wrong, it was just surprising. I was just agreeing that it was odd for him, but it wasn't a big deal. He will do what he has to do.
There may some truth in this comment. X probably missed opportunities to develop top backups with a little more balanced practice, play, and instruction time. They work so hard to develop the 1's that the "next men up" may not get the attention they need. The gap between the last starter and the top backup continues to widen as the season wears on.
There is no doubt (for me): Elder--and that's not just "this week".
I don't think we should assume anything. More than just QB change has to take place for this team to get headed in the right direction.
Well the question was who is the qb moving forward. So while yes what you said is true, I'm fairly certain as in 99.98% sure that whatever they do will have Chase as qb1
AMEN! I love when X is good because it's good for the GCL and high school football. X has more issues than just the QB position. I think O'Malley has done a good job. Has he made mistakes, yes but there isn't a starter out there that hasn't made mistakes. As an outsider who saw the X/Moeller game here is my take. O'Malley has no playmakers to help him. You put O'Malley as the QB 1 at Moeller and like with Dunn they are 6-0 and he's viewed as a good QB 1. Dunn just needs to manage the game and minimize his mistakes because he has playmakers. If O'Malley had playmakers you wouldn't be talking about replacing him. Herbstreit's name isn't going to win you football games! He's more inexperienced than O'Malley and won't have playmakers so why do you all think that he's the guy that is going to save your season? You have an inexperienced OL, no playmakers on offense, you can't stop the run consistently and your secondary is one of the worst I've seen in an X team. If you make a bunch of changes going into week 7 who's to say those players are going to be ready for the playoffs. Get through the regular season and get ready for the playoffs. Better seasons to come for the Bombers. GBM!
Except for the last sentence, I agree with nearly all of this. #82 at WR (Sharp?) has done a good job of being a "playmaker" in multiple games, and a couple of other guys have occasionally (e.g.-Nolan on a punt return for TD; DB [Houston?] for interception return vs. Loyola)-- but no one else has been consistent in that regard. O'Malley does not deserve to shoulder the lion's share of the blame for this team's record.
I know he loves Brodbeck, and in some respects I can give him the pass. Coverdale has had suspect play calling the past two years, and doesn't seem to be able to make the adjustment with different types of talent.
No one knows for certain, all 3rd hand accounts currently
We don't even know THAT he did-- it remains speculation, until we see who takes the field with the first team offense on Friday-- or Specht says something publicly.
