No LaLa or Kuham for Sat game.

That's not a good sign. I hope it's not what I think. Need to have playmakers.

Awesome.

Yup. Not good at all. Good for the long run as the others get experience but now the other team can just double down on a single dimension.

We can’t catch a break. Without LaLa, I don’t think we stand much of a chance. IMO he’s our best offensive player.

As in...two guys who wanna transfer?

Much as I like Geiger, I think last week showed he can't be relied on as anything like an every down player.

Davis and Kuham could still play in 1 more game if they did want to transfer, they have only played in 3 games so far.

LaLa redshirted last year. He would have to be a medical redshirt this year for this season not to count.

No depth chart this week. Oversight or deeper meaning?

I've heard the chair thing is a Bruce decision.

Okay folks, once I saw the "I heard it was Bruce's decision" to not have the guests sit in a chair on the show, I felt it was time to chime in.

It is very simple. The set has limitations. If you notice, the main anchor desk is elevated, they're basically on a stage. Notice that the meteorologists are standing when two anchors are sitting at the desk.

Pulling up a chair in that spot actually makes it look worse. Trust me, it was tested.

It just looks abnormally weird when the guest is a giant.

So in short, the set design was not made for more than 2 people, so we work with what we can.

I feel it's unprofessional for me to post here, but I feel I had to explain "Chair-Gate".

I can respect that. They used to sit on stools with a simple locker room type back drop. What happened ? The one guy standing looks really awkward, it's an unbalanced look and suggests preference for those sitting,even for the news people.

When we got the new set, we were so stoked, then quickly realized there's really no flexibility. The alternative would be to not have a guest, but I feel like they add extra insight, especially this week with Blackwell.

Trust me, that shot has been a point of contention, but there's no room for another chair. So it is what it is.

And again, it was NOT Bruce's decision to have the guest stand. That made me laugh.

I appreciate the insight and explanation. It still looks bad, but if the choice is that, or no guests, I think the right call was made. The guests are important. Overall, I like the show a lot.

Definitely appreciate the insight. Though I'm just happy the show is on. Thanks, Madness!

No RB or WR is going to be able to perform with a run option QB.
It has demoralized the team! We have become a 1 man show. The defense knows we can't pass so they stack the line or blitz, the RBs have no chance on the run as we have seen no matter who it is! They also have the ball pulled more then half the time!
The WRs have no confidence knowing they won't be thrown to most of the time even if open. The lineman don't know if they should be pass blocking or run blocking since we don't stick to the play.
It's a mess, we need to get back to a regular QB rule so the rest of the team can play in harmony.

The first has a powerful offensive line that opens gaps and strong tight ends who block and maybe a mobile quarterback. The second has a weak offensive line that cannot pass block well enough to give a quarterback time to throw and a quarterback who has to be mobile to survive. These types are dictated by the player skills. Sadly, we are the second type of run heavy team. It is hard to see a dramatic improvement, particularly with injured key personnel.

The 3rd type of offensive team is one with very little talent at WR and a run first QB that can't pass enough for teams to back off and aren't running well enough with their starter injured to gain yards on the ground.

Thanks for the insight. Our fanbase has moved on to criticizing the set of a coaches show! :)
