I hate 3rd downs
the 3rd string corner had good coverage the last 2 downs
Not getting any pressure off the front 4
K Joseph got his first couple of snap DS in for Barron, didn’t look lost at all

Fant with 2 poor plays in a row
Whiffed on a blocke and didn’t pull in the catch

Very impressed with Josephs, and that the coaches trusted him.

He forced the pick

I love Ball State's coach.

Not a bad first 10+ minutes of the season.

Does Tom Hart sound like he's coming through a tiny transistor radio for everyone else? The other guy sounds normal- I think it's just Hart's microphone.

A lot of backups in and out this series
Merril, White, Keyton, Wright


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: murfvol on September 02, 2022, 01:49:52 EDT
1) Omari Thomas was balling on Ball State's last possession.Great recognition on the screen.

2) Young guys are playing early. That wasn't just coach speak.

I've always liked Keaton. It was good to see him get a big catch.

Walker in at Star

Burrell and Charles at corner

Our coverage not improved


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: murfvol on September 02, 2022, 02:02:11 EDT
Kind of a weak PI call IMHO.


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:08:07 EDT
We got away with that a lot last year

The B/U WR and Hendo aren’t on the same page
Timing is just a bit off


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022

Gained 19 yards on the exchange of punts

Crawford has been the LT the last 2 series

O.k., maybe the Ball State coach knows his punter better than I do.


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022

Haden with really nice play recognition on that 3rd down

Appears to be a willing tackler too

Anything on interior DL rotation?

I love Ball State's coach.

I like that he's not faking injuries like a little b**ch. :biggrin:


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022

Haden played that ball very well
Deserved the pick

What are they reviewing?


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:35:39 EDT
I think the call is correct


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: droner on September 02, 2022, 02:35:54 EDT
What are they reviewing?

If he was still in bounds when he lost control of the ball.


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022

Well, 2 really shizzle plays and we come out smelling like a rose


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 02:41:40 EDT
Not a bad 1st half

VERY vanilla on offense, ain’t showing Pitt squat

On defense playing a lot of people except at LB and Safety

We are faster on defense, not sure we are that much better

Banks was a non factor


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022

Our 3rd string and future TE is not dressed tonight

1st fake injury of the year


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:11:05 EDT
Warren doing the nasty work inside on the TD


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:18:46 EDT
Same defense as last year
No rush without blitz and shizzlety coverage

Safeties are a liability

Banks screamed at Burrel after one 15 yard or so completion

Banks was more active that series

Milton the QB

1st of many for that young man


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: PirateVOL on September 02, 2022, 03:35:48 EDT
The entire 2nd team offense was in for that drive

I think Milton aimed it on the overthrow to the TE


Title: Re: Game Thread: Ball State 2022
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on September 02, 2022, 03:53:51 EDT
Ugh. I really want to see Milton succeed. It would've been real easy for him to transfer.

But damn. He's STILL overthrowing everybody. :banghead:

Wonder why he has no touch? So bizarre  :loco:

Since we don't have a prototypical short yardage back, why not Milton in the wildcat? He has the size to pick up the tough yards, and opposing defenses would have to account for his arm as well. :dunno:

Not big on contact.

Not big on contact.

He lowered his shoulder on one play tonight, but ya, that's not his norm.

But hey at least he didn't run out of bounds with no time on the clock.  :dielaughing:

By everybody you mean one tight end, right?  :biggrin: I thought Milton looked very much improved. Relative to expectations, I was more impressive with Milton than Hooker tonight.

He was off on one that was bailed out on a PI, too. It won't go on the stat sheet, but we all saw it. He looked good on everything that wasn't in the EZ- but when he sees a slam dunk TD, he still seems to get out over his skis.
