I'm sorry if I'm not supposed to be the one to start this one, but I didn't see one, so I thought I would start it.

Thanks!

Of course, good start. A little frustrated that Dante didn't see the seam route again, but that's nitpicking to the extreme.

Anyone able to get a view of the o line tonight?

Addison, Utu, Poncho, Iuli and Crader?

That's who started, they've included some jumbo packages a couple times.

PSU QB is limited to say the least from what it looks like.

Was that 3rd down a blitz?

Like more than 4 rushers?

Did I see that right?

Indo love me some jumbo packages.

And a bit more protection to bolster the offensive line is certainly in order.

This could get very very very ugly. If I'm Lanning unfortunately for PSU I'm running up the score as much as I can. I'm not slowing down at all until half way into the 4th.

It's about execution this game and this team needs reps.

And they're playing a hit angry. There is a bit more purpose to how they're playing right now.

28-0. Bring in the scrubs. The players made their point. Take away scouting advantages and play vanilla ball PLEASE

Yes, you can tell they're excited to play football. I was thinking one of the biggest things I want to see in this game is no penalties, play with purpose, play with discipline, play with energy.

I'm thinking like this: Less reps makes them hungry. They can go off each other in practice without killing each other. Plus, we're showing what we can do. I definitely don't like that. Mehringer-in my mind-showed his chops. He can call plays - very well.

On the formation penalty to start the second quarter-TE Olesh showed the agility the lineman need (and again showed they don't have). Now I don't necessarily believe teams haven't figured out our OL don't move well (quickly) laterally-but I don't want to show that right now. And we are.

That is why I shut things down. Let the scrubs get experience and exposure. As well-they get shown on film who they actually are at present. I realize that exposes depth, but next year they will be playing and getting paid more. If the guys are truly hungry, they will show it next week because they didn't get tonight.

I am very unconventional about these things. I don't want to be pigeonholed. You can't catch me if you can't find me. You can't find me if you don't see what I do. Shut it down. Nobody needs more evidence right now. We have shown a career's worth of tells and tendencies the past 12 months.

Tuning in late to the game. I'm not surprised about the score so far, hopefully that means overall the team is playing cleaner and not making lazy/sloppy mistakes.

Watching the last couple offensive plays, I'm still unimpressed with the OL. They should not be giving up a sack to a team like PSU and the play afterward Iuli got beat on his run block attempt allowing Davidson to go down after only a short gain. Still a lot of work to do.

My TV is appreciating not getting yelled at tonight. I was pretty hard on it last week.

Where is JMac?

I think he is in a boot.

Zero sacks for the returning starters on the D Line. I expected more. Maybe some of the 2nd or 3rd stringers can show them how it’s done in the second half.

PSU is running the ball a lot and the QB when given a pressure is throwing the ball quick.

Couple plays he was dead to rights but just threw it a hair faster than they could get to him. Those throws were all incomplete with open intentional grounding.

That's what Lanning wants to see.

The reality is that unless the Ducks rush 5 I don't see a ton of sacks happening. Too easy to get rid of the ball before getting hit.

I think I did see the Ducks rush five one down though and that was the grounding penalty.
