BN Gameday: Washington Second Half Thread

Can Bre channel the DO? Photo Credit: Otto Greule Jr/Getty Images

It is half time and the score is tied 7-7 in Seattle. Bruins had a nice drive in the first half going up by a score of 7-0 and then had a golden opportunity to take a strangle hold of the Huskies when Aaron Hester intercepted Jake Locker pass. Instead of going for the throat, Bruins played for the FG and got burned, badly. Bruins have 117 total yards against one of the worst defense in the country and 92 of those yards came in just one drive.

UCLA's offense looks vanilla, tentative and ugly. Bruin defense looks less than mediocre against a pathetic offense with a hurt QB. Their tackling has been a joke. In other words, the first half couldn't have been any uglier for the Bruins. It doesn't look like the Bruins are playing to win. We hope the Bruins will come out and play with a sense of urgency. We hope the coaches will lead our guys with courage and inspire them to aggressive. Guess we will see how the coaches respond and adjust in the second half. As mentioned in recent weeks their careers are on the line.

GO BRUINS.

this makes no sense

josh smith can catch field goals but not punts? wouldn’t it be harder to catch a field goal?

Failing to catch a fg has no consequences

Nor does he have any decisions to make there other than which way to run.

by britishbruin on Nov 18, 2010 6:40 PM PST via mobile up reply actions  

Agreed

The tackling has been bad. And the combination of bad passes and dropped passes have killed us tonight and all season for that matter. We need to tackle better and string together a drive or two. I think the first team to 20 wins.

That needed to be conv to TD. Sad. They don’t have the killer instinct. Game should be 14 to 7. They really don’t look like a bowl team.

RB needs to relax

get the ball out sooner. he doesnt have to go deep everytime, especially early to get his confidence up. guys are open, if he settles down i think we will move the ball well

by donacciani on Nov 18, 2010 6:41 PM PST reply actions  

He needs to relax but

His coaches are not helping him with pathetic playcalls putting him second and third and long situations. Chow is simply not putting this team in position to succeed.

by Nestor on Nov 18, 2010 6:42 PM PST up reply actions  

ya

although i think we are running the ball pretty well….. i think more bootlegs will help him. playaction on first down would be nice. hope we see it.

by donacciani on Nov 18, 2010 6:44 PM PST up reply actions  

Bootlegs, slants, screens

There are ways to neutralize the pressure. Chow just doesn’t have the guts to call them.

holt is blitzing every first and second down.

How about a screen on first so we RB doesn’t have 3rd and long? Norm hasn’t adjusted.

by AllHailMightyBruins on Nov 18, 2010 6:44 PM PST via mobile up reply actions  

Draws are fine.

Just have to pick you spots. Like, and this is a crazy spot, don’t run a draw when the defense is defending the run and rushing 9 or 10.

by bruinmike on Nov 18, 2010 6:47 PM PST up reply actions  

i know they work

but not enough. as i coach i never call them. may just be my own pet peeve but more often then not seems like they get blown up like we’ve seen today

by donacciani on Nov 18, 2010 6:48 PM PST up reply actions  

Receivers haven't helped him much

and some of the bad throws were under pressure after protection failure; but all in all our guys are not executing on either side of the ball. O-line has one good drive of run blocking and that’s it. D has been in position to make stops and then failed on a lot of plays as the half wore on.

by britishbruin on Nov 18, 2010 6:48 PM PST via mobile up reply actions  

The Dos Equis commercial

always reminds me of The Most Interesting Bruin in the World thread.

I thought about making a poll on most epic thread of the year, considering The Most Interesting Bruin, DoctorMexican’s Blake Arnet thread, the BadgerBadger thread from last spring, maybe the LOI thread. I’m sure there are a few others.

But then any thread with Tyler or Coach would stomp them all.

by bucknellbruin on Nov 18, 2010 7:04 PM PST up reply actions  

Disagree

On third down he was going for the first down yardage. If anything I’d expect RB to throw that one to him high. There’s a chance he doesn’t get the first even if he catches it the way RB threw that.

Opposing team has tape on him now, weather, a game on the road. And as a young player, he’s going to be prone to inconsistency (and at his best, he wasn’t that great).

This all stems

from our attitude and play calling at the beginning of the game. We came out fired up and had a chance to crush this team, but we were incredibly conservative when Washington was struggling badly, and didn’t take advantage when we had the chance.

I’m sorry Bruins, but it’s hard to get emotionally invested in this team.

As a stockholder, I’m holding the CEO responsible for having a product line that is substandard in every respect. I think Coach Neuheisel is a great guy and a great Bruin and a great motivator and a guy I would like to hang out with him. As nof now, though, I have no confidence in him or any of the other coaches.

And now our guys have quit. I don’t blame them. They have the same chance of getting a well coached game as Baron Davis had.
