Comments on: The Lesson: Lose Early http://www.elevenwarriors.com/2008/09/the-lesson-lose-early.html You're Stepping into Manhood Right Now Sat, 20 Mar 2010 06:28:54 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Carence http://www.elevenwarriors.com/2008/09/the-lesson-lose-early.html#comment-26013 Carence Tue, 30 Sep 2008 11:37:22 +0000 http://www.elevenwarriors.com/?p=2784#comment-26013 You guys have made some outstanding points. Why does our defense play not to lose? We have great talent on D but our staff will not put them in positions to be successful. We continue to see the powerhouses get beat and usually it leads to one thing, they are relentless on the rush. They tell QB's to beat us with your arm. I continue to see smart teams send 6-7-8 men at the QB and it works. Why can't we do that? I would love to see Pryor in the shotgun with Beanie and Boom in the back with 3 receivers. I think that could shake things up. You guys have made some outstanding points. Why does our defense play not to lose?

I'd also like to do something similar to the "Good Shizzy" links section. In the interim, feel free to comment in any post about the polls or anything you guys see anywhere else on the site. Matt,

That’s a great idea — and technically feasible, though it would require some hacking and may have to wait until the offseason. I’d also like to do something similar to the “Good Shizzy” links section.

I like that you change the polls often, most sites don't do that, and it provides one more interactive feature and more topics to discuss. But I'm computer illiterate so I have no idea if that's feasible to do. Suggestion for the site to Jason et al.:

You don't think Terrelle can run the entire length of the field in under 2 minutes!? Who is he, Mike Hart?

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:37:41 +0000 http://www.elevenwarriors.com/?p=2784#comment-25995 I agree with some of that Matt, but you can't play with fear of injury. I really think it's important for Pryor to get as many snaps as he can though. Yes, he's a starting QB, but he's still a Freshman. Normally, you let a back up play mop up duty because you want him to get comfortable. We are in a unique circumstance due to us having a starting QB that needs to get comfortable. JT showed Pryor he trusted him when he gave him the starting spot, but you have to continue to show that you trust him by letting him throw the football. If I was Pryor and saw that TB had almost as many pass plays as I did in 2 series as I did the entire game, I would have mixed emotions. As I said before, Pryor eventually will have to win a game with his arm and I think they need to make sure he's comfortable with that when that time comes.

Pryor is amazing, but he does take some shots. I'd rather keep Boeckman in for a series or two, here and there, when the games are no longer in doubt, in order to keep him fresh in case Pryor suffers an injury. The road to the Big 10 championship is grueling and violent.. Yes, I know TB started all of last year, but that was last year, and I think the Brians have shown that even starters with a lot of experience can get rusty real quick.

Every snap Pryor doesn’t get is a learning opportunity missed…" Couldn't agree more with you on that one, J.B. We already know what TB can do. Let's see more of what Pryor can do instead! “To add to that, why let TB come in for two drives in the second half? Every snap Pryor doesn’t get is a learning opportunity missed…”
