Come on, the offensive line did a great job blocking for the plays called...Murphy had eight players in the box and we still tried to run the fastest running back in SMC into the teeth of Murphy’s defense. Who are you kidding...Murphy just out coached our offensive coordinator and he thought Murphy would lay down because Swain has the fastest running back in the conference. If we had a passing game or a QB that could throw the ball we might have stood a chance...I blame the offensive coordinator, RB and coaching staff for not realizing the same three plays don’t work everytime. Especially, when the defense is setup to stop the off tackle plays...Can coaching staff in booth, communicate to offensive coordinator and head coach, that there are eight or nine folks in the box? Can we not throw a five yard out, a slant or curve? As far as the no calls, it’s football you win some you lose some. If you can’t over come obstacles then you will not win to many games...Swain can’t at the moment because our coaching staff believes two young players will carry the team and that’s not true...We have another QB and other RBs let’s give them a try, what can it hurt, I’m sure they are good for 60 yards on 34 attempts too... ridiculous, if this is the plan for next year then we’ll have the same success...
On another note, we need a FS...someone to play the position as it should be played...not stepping out of the way and trying chase the play down...
Bottom line Murphy should thank us for make them look like a championship team...if our fastest running back was as dominanting as Swaindad40 suggests then he would have still made a difference even without blocking...come on, great backs can do that...
Hats off to Murphy, but I believe if we had the right kids in the right positions and better play calling then we could have made it a game, but we didn’t so I can only hope we see Murphy in the playoffs for round two...Not to excited about it because if we plan to run the fastest running back into the teeth of a defense that is setup to stop it then we need some coaching staff changes. Ridiculous!
