Cornell Football 2019

[CAS]

Thx for the report Bill.  Wish the university would also put money into the football program.

Watched the Pats-Redskins game yesterday.  Redskins' offense is as unimaginative as ours, with similarly slow-to-develop plays and braindead playcalling.  Skins are now 0-5.  Fired their coach after the game.  Maybe a lesson?

If Jay Gruden is anything like brother Jon in sports-related things, I'd pay for him to keep coaching just so he's not on TV. PS: Deadspin reports the Redskins had Gruden come to the stadium today for a 5 a.m. meeting. That is cold.

He was already deadman walking after the supposed video of him smoking weed surfaced.

i don't think it's all the playcalling. i think the offense is simply not good. catanese was being chased around and when he had time to throw the ball nobody had any idea where it was going. coles never had a chance with the lack of respect the defense was giving the qb.

Our O-line is mediocre relative to our level.

Running the "full-house" backfield as often as Cornell did telegraphed "run" against a top-notch defense and too often Georgetown just packed it in and stuffed the ballcarrier.

Teams are going to stack the box and make Cornell beat them with the passing game,  With a suspect Ol, that's going to be quite a challenge.

Must be saving the hybrid warfare for late season Ivy games.

Another of the touted "schematics" was to get the ball to Harold Coles in the open field.  The only attempts I've seen to date are screen passes where there are more defenders than blockers set up in the screen.

Practice has started for the Big Red, and they still haven't hired a QB coach...TBA. ::wtf::

Almost four games in, Archer may have finally found someone.

Kinda suggests that getting someone to come to Ithaca was a bit of a challenge.

No he's not going to have an on-field position.  He just replaces the position formerly held by Alex Peffley   who was the Assistant to the Head Coach, but then was bumped up to the Director of Football Operations (DPO) position when the previous DPO Ryan McNamee left for the same position at UNLV as their DPO.

Cornell scores first over a Harvard turnover.  7-0 Cornell.

[scoop85]

Our touchdown came after a fumble recovery deep in Harvard territory. Otherwise our offense has been inept. Defense has been good, although Harvard now at our 27.
