Where’s the stickem for our receivers?
- Thread starter T_Levine
- Start date
Does anyone know how many drops officially? I counted 5 for sure. 2 Kirtz, 1 CJ2, 1 Gordon, 1 Henning?
What happened to Kirtz?! He was outstanding last year. Looks like a first year out there this year.
He's a guy who needs to be a lot better and show some leadership. He's capable of being an impact in given games. He mostly disappeared int his one and when he did show up it was to drop the ball.
Everybody played like 💩 on offense.
Washington’s defense hit harder and wanted it more. Lausch will bounce back but even @CoralSpringsCat & @IGNORE2 agree that our offense is Skeeeeee-REWED without Porter and Tyus (OhioU).
Flush It!

Football is a timing game. When the QB’s timing is off, it makes everyone else look worse.
We got manhandled in every phase of the game. I can’t believe this board always goes right to the QB blame for everything after every loss.
Carolina was manhandled in every phase until they replaced Bryce Young with the corpse of Andy Dalton. All of a sudden they look explosive.
Not a lot of good choices due to the bare cupboard Fitz and Bajakian left us. At a minimum the QB competition should be opened up again. If Lausch continues to be by far the best performer in practice then so be it.
Stop. Fitz did not lead to the transfer of top OL, or the transfer of Sullivan and Tyus. He was not the reason we lost the top half of a recruiting class and had others in another class decide at the last minute to go elsewhere. And like it or not, Jake is the reason we even had Lausch and Sullivan. (Gray is still an unknown) The blame is more Gragg and Schill and the way things were handled that left us in the situation we are in. It hurt the 23 class (guys deciding at last minute not to come) and absolutely destroyed the 24 class that ws shaping up to be Fitz's best (more than the top half went elsewhere and replaced with mostly 2 stars ). Portal exits (over entries) have killed our depth. Have to think that Fitz might have tried to adress RB room through portal as well and it was getting thin.
But you are likely talking mostly about QB and we did not get as much in the way of top QB targets as we would like but Jake did bring in a couple guys that he could work with in his system and he was bringing them along (Sullivan and Lausch)
We haven't recruited a qualified starting QB since Thorson committed, which was a decade ago. You can't pin that on Schill and Gragg - that's all Fitz and Bajakian. No, Sullivan and Lausch don't count. Sullivan lost out to Wright/Lausch and is on the bench in Iowa behind a very marginal starter. Lausch, well, we all saw his level of play last week.
This was his second start and first against a D at this level and on the road. THe OL was down to duck tape holding them together. WRs and TEs dropping balls all over and no running game. Pretty hard to be successful under those circumstances.
By the way. Remember Thorson's first season? He was pretty so so as a QB about 50% completion rate for the season and 117 ypg passing. In his 3rd game against DUKE, he was 9/23 for 70 yds with two INTs (sound familiar) and he had guys like VItale and Dickerson. But you know what else he had? Solomon Vault ran back a kickoff for a TD, JJ ran for 120 yds and a solid D that came up with a couple turnovers and they were able to win that game. He was one of the best we have had but that year he was pretty pedestrian.
