Eric Ebron is a free agent as well and we need a TE (sarcasm) . . . ducks!

Whatever you say Mein Fuhrer.

Karsch and Anderson seemed to speculate on their show today that St. Brown would not be playing this week. I think we're cooked if indeed that is true.

I think Marcus Davenport was supposed to be their new pass rushing specialist. But like many of the players Brad seems to like, he's often injured and rarely on the field. Brad has overdone it a bit taking risks on injury prone guys that he can get for cheaper or better draft value. Availability is a skill as much as talent is. At some point, guys like Davenport, Fraizer, Levi, Pashcal, have to be able to play consistently, otherwise, what was the point of wasting a draft pick, money, and a roster spot on them?

On the Lions Tecap show with Dan Miller on 97.1 today they mentioned how we were dead last in the league in time to pressure and second to last in the league in QB time in the pocket. The numbers tell us what our eyes have known all season, this pass rush sucks and it isn't working. That falls on Brad as much as it does any coach or player IMO. He built his defensive front and right now, it's a liability for this team.

My opinions on coaching hires matters not because I thought Luke Fickell was going to be a great hire for Wisconsin and he has not been. I can't believe, other than they don't want to pay him the buyout owed, that he is getting another season in Madison. Four season in and he's 17-21 with an even worse 10-17 Big Ten record. And this isn't the old era of CFB, this is the new NIL era, where you can flip a team quickly. I would want Fickell fired if I were a Wisconsin fan at this point. I am very surprised at how badly he has failed at Wisconsin. Even after coaching at Ohio State, he has never adapted or recruited to the Big Ten style of play. Nor has he really even brought in good recruits.

MSU apparently already had their candidate in mind. They hired Pat Fitzgerald. I thought Fitz was blacklisted from CFB. I guess not.

Are we going to be favored still come game time against Dallas? I feel like that -3.5 spread shrinks or flips.

Third and long and they check it underneath again. Moore needs to get better WR recruits and a creative OC next season or he's done.

We had such a nice start to the game. We had a good defensive first half really. Then it's all fallen apart in the second half on defense. Wink making no adjustments and still get no pressure at all in Sayin.

Apathy, their receivers are running free Blowing through Wink's blitzing schemes, choking the big game away But it's just the price we pay, bad play calls he's called all day Opening up their passing game, 'cause he's Mr. Martindale

And he throws it high on what should have been a first down.

Check down. Check down. Check down. He has guys open downfield but he isn't waiting for plays to develop. He needs to be coached up on that this offseason.

Absolutely ZERO pressure on Sayin all day. He's got enough time in the pocket today that anyone of us could make these throw if we had the arm talent. But he's standing back there laughing at Martindale's defense.

LOL, NEVERMIND. That's the ballgame.

Boy could we use a turnover right now.

Holy crap that was a bad punt. This game feels over now. It feels like Ohio is going to run away with it now.

3 and 10 and they check it down. WTF Bryce.

Nice throw by Underwood, a bit in traffic though.

Defense is the big difference this year to last year. They were able control the line of scrimmage and stop the run. Your can't do this year. Combine that with no pressure on Sayin and you have a formula for losing.

The defense needs to find a way to stop their passing attack and get any amount of pressure on Sayin. He's got too much time in the pocket and plays are able to develop down field. They need to tighten up their run defense too.

Why the effff did they call the timeout?

No pressure whatsoever. He has 3-4 seconds to find his man.

Our pass defense getting shredded now. Too much man, no help over the top, no blitz pressure.

Ok, cool, it's on Ohio State.
