Exactly; in professional futbol parlance, it is about finding the "pockets," because almost everyone playing is a world class athlete (in European football) and the speed burn only gets you so far. Maryland certainly has the skills as a team to play better, more diverse offense.hmmm wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2024 12:55 pmMaybe they shouldn't try to run so many isos through those 2 players? Just a thought. Defenses are too good for that these days. More about spacing than creating space for individual players.LaxDadMax wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 12:08 pmThen who else can they bring in to create some space for Edmonson and Leubackerhmmm wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 1:11 amThat's gonna be a no from me dawg.LaxDadMax wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:19 pmThis is why Rosga needs to play. She doesn't have the technical talent that the Mays, Edmondsons and Clevengers have, but she has a great first step and quickness which is exactly what the terps need.Essexfenwick wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 8:18 pm Our offense is really easy to defend. Since we are generally less athletic than the good teams we need a crisp, speedy passing offense with skip passes to Leubecker and Edmonson. Instead our passes are slow looping predictable.. and we even drop those lobs. It’s a lazy offense. It’s too late… the offense we need that corresponds with our weaknesses would have needed to be developed pre season and drilled in. Penn has a better game philosophy and blueprint with better players and more disciplined execution.
Seems to me that, at this point, you get a body on, and a stick in the hands of Clevenger the Elder, and eyes and a devoted body on May, you nullify a lot of the attack. No. 18 for Maryland was invisible for the near entirety of this game.
The Maryland fan has it half-right: everyone is flawed, not everyone is a contender.
