+ Maddox

 

[pittpitt]

I know you said the DLine was dominant, but

+ Amir Watts: true freshman got past his blocker and provided disruption in the pocket right up the middle on nearly every snap he took, did not expect this consistency right away from him or Camp

Watts- Future Beast that blew up the line of scrimmage. Aaron Donald speed. Going to be a great player.

 

[Farnox]

The croud was out of it as it was a very boring game. The punt competiton in the first half was not terribly exciting.

 

[kma0043]

I thought that Jarret had a dominant game. And I get that today was Conner's day, but a little more Ollison and Hall would've been welcome.

 

[Joe the Panther Fan]

Winslow - weak

Just like last year, his best punt was one that he kicked so short the receiver couldn't make a play on it and he got 15 - 20 yards of roll.

 

[JokePa]

Kicking game will lose us a game or 2 this year

 

[steel_curtain]

Kicking game will lose us a game or 2 this year

-Sadly at this point I would agree. How the hell do you miss 5 field goals in a row including 3 chip shots. We have a high school kicker on this team, and a punter that sucks too. Although the good news is most Aussie have very strong legs and are accurate. The guy from Utah was a complete game changer the last 2 years with his 70 yard punts and constant inside the 10 yard punts.

-Expecting our kickers to win us games this year is a pipedream. At this point if Blewitt makes 50%, take it and run. We should punt instead of blewitt or go for it if short enough.

God, this is going to be a LONG year reading you. Pitt better win 9 or 10 games, and win them all by 40 points or you will be having contact mental breakdowns.

-How many times do I have to spell it out I said 8 or more wins. 8+ wins. 8 doesnt equal any other number.

 

[Las Panteras]

The best thing that happened today was blewitt was terrible

It's college football. They're college kids

Look for blewitt to bounce back next week and win the PSU game with seconds left on the clock.

No, you said 8 was your baseline acceptable, which means you expected 9 or 10. Eight would be Meh in that case, 9 or 10 good.

Btw, I'll make a bet with you. Blewitt goes 50% or better on field goals you leave the board and stop posting. Less than 50, I'll leave.

 

[steel_curtain]

-If Blewitt goes less than 50%, Narduzzi should be fired.

-Pitt will still win 8+ games this year.

-Defense is better than expected, thats what counts.

 

[revampedpanthers]

just don't understand how the kickers have not improved one bit in 4 years here. Both sucked today.

For the record, you're saying the 2 FGs Blewitt missed (well, one was actually blocked due to poor blocking, not missed) today were "chip shots"?

^^^^^^^ this has to be the dumbest thing anyone said on this board

It was great to have Conner back, but he was not the Conner of 2014 with his vision. He missed some pretty clear cutbacks where he could have gotten some space and made more positive yardage. I am sure it will come as the season goes on.
