My 2 cents

Postby Mickey » Sun Oct 18, 2009 8:28 am

Great game! Pre game and half time festivites were awesome.

D was great in first half. Navy half time adjustments got them 31 points in second half.

McNeal is a real threat every time he touches the ball. Line ran hard.

BLM still misses a lot of passes he should complete. Still doesnt see wide open receivers!

Sysmanski was awful! Short kick offs. Kick offs out of bounds. Missed field goals. Terrible punting- 7 line drive attempts averaging 34yds.

Was M Frazier sick? He didnt start and went into the locker room and came back on the field early in the 3rd Q.

Who was #83 that played TE on a couple of plays? Helped spring McNeal and Line a couple of times. 83 wasnt even on the roster.

Wish the announcer would quit calling kick off returns receptions. they are returns!!!

Frank Ganz's wife should have been introduced since she was escorted on the field by W. As a matter of fact that whole group should have been introduced.

War dogs and Vet dogs should have also been introduced. I would have given them a big hand. Those dogs have tough jobs.

All in all, much better presentation, but still need attention to detail

Fun Night, but disappointing!!!!

The speakers on the visitors side are awful! How about put Bush on the Jumbotron instead of cheesy video showing Mustangs running.

If the freshman kicker from California can't out kick Szymanski, we need to recruit another one this year. Szymanski is not getting it done.

We lost the battle of field position. Nay was starting around their 40 all night.

Except in the first half when we were winning. We had em back up pretty good the first half; remember the two fumbles, one of which went for the TD. The second half was just the opposite.

This is a crazy question but why isn't Kellis Cunningham doing kick offs? He was a lot more consistent for the past 2 seasons.

The opening kick off went out of bounds and Navy started at the 40. It didnt improve much after that.

He doesnt kick it out of bounds 90% of the time automatically giving them the ball on the 40!

He is being Greyshirted this year so we wont know until next! but I agree. Szymanski is not very impressive thus far. Then again. We have been spoiled by Morestead the great!

Navy's backers took very deep pass coverage routes. SFA did the same thing which cut off a lot of long intermediate passes. We need some type of play action to hold the backers and I haven't seen a play action scheme used very much. Now that McNeal has some solid runs, we might be able to use playcation more.
