Football VIDEO: Greg Schiano talks final scrimmage of camp
- Thread starter Richie O
- Start date
To be fair, he can't say too much really. My interpretation, reading between the lines, is that the defense is doing a really good job and the offense is likely still struggling. Not much different than what I said in the first press conference. Can the offense play well enough in September to get some W's while improving during the rest of the season? That's the being question. I think that the defense will have to have some turnovers for us to win games. Besides the Wagner game, where we can basically run it down their throats and tire them out, I'm a little concerned about how we will score in the early games. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best.
Good thing nobody asked him about the ol’ razzle-dazzle play they installed this week.
Probably going to be the game plan of the BC game last year. Run and tire them out and hope our defense holds up.
Then you weren’t listening . He was more upbeat preseason than I have ever seen him before. In all honesty what were you expecting him to say?
At end of the video GS does a nice plug for a KTR-sponsored meet the players night tomorrow... forget the times.. 5-7?
One take-away from the video was that greg seems to think the offense has improved.. and when asked about prep for NW he seems to be saying he will use some more days for general practice and conditioning and then do the typical 1-week gameplan for NW.
This is interesting to me. Surely you have a better chance to beat a team if you took two weeks or longer to prepare only for what you expect from that team. But the flip-side of that is that you only get once chance to do the general development stuff for the upcoming season as a whole. If you took longer to prep for your first game you take away from that. And GS is training them not only for this season.. but for future seasons in his "this is a developmental program" kinda way.

Not anywhere near what at some time seemed very aloof . He gave an answer to every question he was asked. Did what an interview with the HC should reveal.Sorry you still can’t see that.
As long as we don’t run in up the middle on 3rd down and 9 yards or throw a 3 yard pass.
Geez
Well, too many times we faced 3rd and long inside, say, our own 35 and getting Korsak 5 more yards might get him to pin the opponent inside their 20. While that doesn't describe every 3rd and long head-scratcher play-call.. we got a new guy calling the plays.
And I think our mistake was made on 1st down far too often. Everyone is going to think we want to run.. because we do.. so throw on 1st... until that's the D you see em come out in on 1st.
Could it be that simple? Well, the last OC must have thought it was pretty simple... there seemed to be no complexity at all to his calls. How sweet it could be if he is up in the coaches booth for teh NW game and has to watch Rutgers offense move the ball.
Someday I would like a shovel pass or a bubble screen in the red zone.
Lasy year I watched TN beat Bama by stacking WRs near each other and then they would break away from each other 10 yds upfield.
Defense was always flumoxed and the kid now on the Jets had 5 TDs on 6 receptions.
I don't know what is so hard about RU being a little creative
Greg is one of those "You can run basic plays and score if you execute" type guys.
The problem is that RU can't execute against half the schedule

GS seemed totally pissed after the previous scrimmage. He seems a lot more upbeat today. Tea leaves look prosperous.
He answered every question asked . He was upfront and forthcoming. I got a lot out of it . Not sure what you were watching.
