It time to start playing the players you need next year and start beating the bushes on the juco and d1 transfer list for a QB the only thing remaining on this year's schedule is Central and the way the two teams look lately it come down to who play the worst What happened? ?

Agree with everything you stated above , the team does not have that sense of urgency , they are playing with no inspiration at all . I think the blame falls squarely on the coaching staff , the team was totally unprepared , the defense , offense , and special teams sucked . I better quit while I'm ahead , I might say something that will get me banned . WTF

This what I saw today:
1. Our backup center was not prepared and it proved critical. It highlighted the fact that our play selection from under center is limited at best. So not only do we have to get our backup center ready to play, we have to consider redesigning some of the plays to be run from under center and practice it.
2. Tarik Cohen is still for real, Find more ways to get him the ball.
3. Quick is not the answer in the current offense. If Bustle sold out and decided to design the offense around Quick's skill set then maybe but Bustle has shown he's not ready to do that. I actually like Bustle's offense a lot. We just can't run it as smoothly as we need to. A lot of that is on the QB.
4. What has happened to the kicking game? A better kicking game wins the last two games. No coffin corner. Shanked punts. Short punts. Missed field goal. Bad onside kick.
5. Although it was against a prevent, the last drive shows what the offense is capable of.
6. The defense continues to play well. But teams will check off to a run when we go to three down linemen. We have not proven we can stop the run from that set.
7. This team should be 5-1 maybe even 6-0. Less than a touchdown away in each loss.

I do agree our kickers have lost what ever they had at the beginning of the season and that alone has changed the season. Something has changed mentally for our three kickers.

If you guys were not convinced last week with the Hampton loss, you should be convinced today...we don't have the talent on the team to be good. We are not an awful team but justdon't have enough "play makers" to win tight ball games. Lass week's loss and today's loss fall right on the offense's shoulders. You turn the ball over three times last week you are going to lose. The defense held Del State to 12 darn points...your offense should score more than 7 darn points at home!

Bustle is trying his best to work with the talent that we have. As far as the running game we have the backs we just have to run them. We need more then just a QB we also need more and faster receivers, also we need to use the TE more as I saw UNC doing the other night . The Defence is fair we do stop the run but the NFZ is not playing focused and have given up far to Many big plays to subpar receivers . We can still have a winning season so I don't understand what all the huff and puff is about . A&T is building a program not a fly by night championship. Some of you should get with the program are get off the boat. Now let's move on from here.

Having a freshman center ready to go is not about spring practice. He was still in high school. It's about practice. 2. Getting your MEAC player of the week more involved is not about spring practice. He was also in high school. 3. Quick = Tebow. He's your best backup. Spring practice could have helped him. But he's still the backup. 4. The kickers started out well and have digressed DURING THE SEASON. Nothing spring about that. 5. Hell, #5 was a good thing. 6. And so was #6. 7. A valid summary

We haven't had a great offensive showing all year. Anyone paying attention to how we were really winning should have known we couldn't keep winning that way. The offense was going to have to eventually step up and they just never have. Not surprised by this and neither should anyone else that's been seeing how we have REALLY been winning.

My observations:
*The snaps from the shotgun killed us today. Disappointed we couldn't get this figured out. *The offense has no chemistry. The guys play like it's their first time together. *The offensive line was horrible...............game over. *Desmond Lawrence is a good receiver but can't make the tough catches. I counted 3 drops by him today. *To many line up changes. Not sure if this is due to injury or what? *Kicking game has rapidly declined.

I haven't followed this team very closely so I have a few questions that may provide answers to the Aggie swoon.
1. Has this team lost some interior linemen in the last two or three games that they had for their first 3 or 4 games?
2. Has this team had hurts and injuries to their players that have kept them out of practices?
3. Has there been a lot of line-up changes among the receivers?
4. Does the punter still has that nagging groin pull and has this affected his technique?
There may be things happening that have negatively impacted the team that the average fan can't see. One thing that I think is happening is that the team's execution fundamentals are detoriating from week-to-week since game 3 or 4 and this may be due to line-up changes the coaches are forced to do and/or lack of practice time due to hurts and injuries.

Good point all. I do know this if a kicker has a groin injury he may not be the same for some time are even for the season. Groin injures take a lot longer to Heal then most injuries in any sports.
