I’m not loving on Weber, just want to watch the game without you pushing a Gray agenda on EVERY SINGLE PLAY. It’s annoying. Criticize when it is appropriate and cheer when appropriate, that’s all I’m asking

SDSU with 9 interceptions and Ellstad with 11 FGs

I rewound that sack
Bennett goes to teh right side for protection where there were 3 OL to 2 rushers. that LB blitz was his to pick up

Blitz? Where did that come from?
Buck Bravo
by Buck Bravo on Nov 14, 2009 11:35 AM CST via mobile reply actions
no
the RB has to read where the blitz is coming from. don’t make things up.
Weber could have possibly gotten rid of the ball to save the 8 yards, but not every sack can be attributed to him.

I don't LOVE Weber to death
but I really tire of everything being his fault when just an honest look at a play can see that.

Defense is winning
Offense is moving but can’t score
Special Teams are TERRIBLE

Has anyone seen an official Royce White announcement yet?
Fox has the rumors but nothing has been announced that I’ve seen
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
seriously...what is Webers responsibility when he reads the defense?
He should be calling an audible and he should be reading who the blitzer is…calling his max protect coverage and getting the ball out quick to the open area left from the blitz…..The center calls out the blocking scheme to pick up the blitz….Bennet could have went the wrong way…but the QB just doesnt stand back there and do nothing….he should be pointing out to Bennet where the blitz is coming from. You surely dont take a 5 step drop and then fall down….thats if you know the blitz is coming..which he doesnt seem to.

by PJS on Nov 14, 2009 11:47 AM CST via mobile reply actions
I'm not defensive about Weber
just blaming every little thing on him when it isn’t warranted? I’m actually surprised the Gray fumble wasn’t his fault too?
the INT was his fault and a terrible pass. The pass before that was terrible. I am capable of seeing when he sucks. But when people turn on the TV and blame everything on him because they want Gray in, it frustrates me. It could be any player on the field. If someone starts blaming Collado because Wills misses his block I’d get annoyed about that too.

Gray was a incomplete pass I believe..

it was an option that he "fumbled" forward?
stat sheet is incomplete but clearly he was running an option.

Woho
Gophers D has let up 19 yards of offense and we are losing. Oh Weber threw a pick 6 no way i cant believe that he is just too good to do something like that. I bet the other 119 D1 schools would start him. Well actually no i dont think he would even start at SDSU.
jg...u act as if we should have confidence in the coaches

then why point to supposed lack of confudence among coaches as a reason to stuck with weber?

DALLAS
I UNDERSTAND, I AGREE, BUT THE COACHES ARE MORE CONCERNED WITH PUTTING GRAY AT WR THAN PLAYING HIM IN HIS QB POSITION FOR ONE PLAY AND PULLING HIM.
If they put in Gray, they run the risk that he throws inaccurate passes, interceptions for touchdowns, and fails to recognize the blitz.

SDSU
is using this new fangled defensive technique called a BLITZ. Apparently nobody on the Gopher offense has seen such a thing before

Will Weber lead SDSU to a comback by the half?

Im gona go drop a weber and brewster and then flush
I bet the Weber is unflushable...just when you think you have done enough for it to be gone it will reappear...and continue to stink up the place
by DallasGopher on Nov 14, 2009 12:02 PM CST up reply actions
Nice play on D again...bailing out the offensive minds on this team
Carter might get cuffed at halftime for being an accomplice in that TD theft lol
Gray running a rotation of 5 plays would be an improvement vs an offense that loses yardage and gives up points. Weber has lost all confidence at this point and needs a break.

what?
if SDSU just got their first first down, how’d they score?

just be rational, that is all. I think we all want Gray in there, in a reasonable manner (a couple of drives, etc., not flip flop).
JG
I guess I have watched too much High School football down here in TX…my threshold for horrible play by a college QB has been greatly lowered….yours seems to still be quite high

SDSU now has
10 yards of offense and 10 pts. Weber should just kneel it everytime we are on offense.
17-13 after a Weber TD pass?

He had no clue a blitz was coming
Buck Bravo
by Buck Bravo on Nov 14, 2009 12:09 PM CST via mobile reply actions
isn't that the point of a blitz?
would someone please recognize that when a blitz gets untouched a QB (any QB) is going to get hit? LT moved to help the LG and didn’t touch teh guy who got Weber. Picking up the blitz is the responsibility of EVERYONE.

Have you ever heard of QBs making adjustments for it
Well that is a QB with a football IQ of greater than 1.
Yikes
bubble screen… behind and at his feet. A break may help him clear his head a bit… calm down or something. What’s going on now is not kosher.
Keep the commentary coming
between you guys, ESPN gamecast, and a periodic phone call from my brother, I will try and make sense out of what is going on. Not sure why I subject myself to this though. Sounds like the SOS so far.
I really like our DT's
Small and Brown play well and we are all going to miss them next year
what you say here can, and will, be used against you
If the Gophers get the ball to start the second, that is the time to let Gray have a drive. It makes no sense to not let him get some snaps in a real situation (end of OSU game was not a real situation).
agreed
play here and play there does nothing, let him get a series.

I know this is all Weber's fault
but does anyone else agree with me that this is the worst the OL has played in several weeks? Weber had a brutal 2nd quarter (he was 4/5 in the 1st), but the OL isn’t opening any rushing holes and has yet to pick up a blitz. They were playing better the last few weeks but today is YUCK.
Thank God for the defense today.

bring sumlin in. he keeps the texas pipeline and plays a wide open style.
if this is a loss brew is on notice for 2010. Face it, if the athletic dept. is forcing the gophers to bus to iowa, they don’t have the money to pay brewster’s contract off right now.
there's
a lot of that going around this year…….

I dont get why we cant get a good coach
I mean seriously we have more to offer then 90% of the colleges. I mean this isnt Michigan or Alabama but should be a lot better then Boise Houston or even Cincinnati.
but they took unknowns who became good coaches
or turned out to be really good coaches. We try the same thing but are just not successful

This O-line has been the number one reason the season has been so frustrating. they are just not good.
What really bothers me about that is—knowing that the o-line is so bad— why is there no plan for it? Why not more bubble/funnel screens? Why not let the running QB try and scramble for his life rather than the wooden puppet man?
Insanity is doing the same thing…
Fej...you just dont understand. Your inferior football mind is too small to realize that Weber gives us the best chance to win. lol In kidding of course...
Gray should be in there…he can move the pocket and when he does run he can really break it….Weber is running for his life. Gray is running for 6.

according to somebody @ the game chanting with them….WORRY ABOUT YOUR OWN TEAM!
the celebration? yeah. you're playing a team named the jackrabbits.

No matter the outcome, I'm guessing after the game ....
… Brewster talks about hos resilient his team was today. They played hard, he’ll say, as if that shouldn’t be expected.

Ive seen more football IQ out of the Obrien kid on SDSU than I have seen out of Weber all year
gotta get another shot in at AW right? lol
well we won...Barely
My God..Why even Build TCF Bank Stadium….what an abomination of a season in this stadium
The Press Folks
Better not let him off with talking about how good SDSU is… “Well they’re a tremendous football team that is very well coached and works hard, they’re ranked in FCs… but i’m really proud of how our kids battled.. blah blah blahhhh”
55-0 may look merciful if they play like this against the hogeyes.
NO STANZI................NO PROBLEM
SERIOUSLY, THE GOPHERS HAVE NO CHANCE AGAINST A TEAM LIKE CENTRAL MICHIGAN AT THE PIZZA PIZZA BOWL
Dungy? Why?
What apptitude has Dungy ever shown to be a good D1 college football coach? Its an entirely different game than the pros. The recruiting side makes each coach almost a GM. I personally don’t think he’s cut out for that. You just want him for his name, a common mistake, but a mistake nonetheless.
An absolute disaster of a game.
Keeping Brew around for another season is just delaying the inevitable.
