How much time is Jeff Conner getting?
and have your goalie make 7 or 8 doorstep saves, 4 or 5 of the out of your *** category. sure, it's a plan, but tough to master.blue angels wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 12:17 pm Lars Tiffany Quote about Army pertaining to the upcoming Cuse matchup:
Virginia beat the Black Knights two weeks ago, but despite the common opponent, head coach Lars Tiffany says there’s only so much you can borrow from Army’s gameplan.
“You can see how Army defended them, and go, ‘Oh, that’s a really good idea,’” says Tiffany. “But because we played Army, we know how athletic the Army defensemen are. We know that they have 6-foot-2, 215 pound shortstick defensive middies who eat nails for lunch, so it’s like, ‘OK, we can’t leave people on islands.’”
I am assuming that isn't coach speak from Lars. Virginia has already faced 2 excellent defensive units and some highly skilled individual defenders but were still quite successful. When you see Bertrand and Cormier getting shorted at times, you know a D is in a real quandary. Let's hope we play well....... I expect a much better version of Cuse than the one Army faced so it should be a hard fought contest. Cuse will put it all together.However; I would prefer that it take them another week.wgdsr wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 1:28 pmand have your goalie make 7 or 8 doorstep saves, 4 or 5 of the out of your *** category. sure, it's a plan, but tough to master.blue angels wrote: ↑Thu Feb 25, 2021 12:17 pm Lars Tiffany Quote about Army pertaining to the upcoming Cuse matchup:

he was talking about not taking army's defensive performance (and syracuse's offensive) as one we could necessarily copy exactly. that neutering syracuse in the same way is just a blueprint.blue angels wrote: ↑Fri Feb 26, 2021 12:09 pmI am assuming that isn't coach speak from Lars.

Not sure I completely agree with that take. #34 covered Chase Scanlan all game and held him to 1-1. I’d say that’s fairly effective when you have a ssdm covering an AA attackman.
Scanlan can’t dodge. You put a shortie on him because compared to other AA attackmen, it’s an easier assignment.ctbagataway wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 2:43 amNot sure I completely agree with that take. #34 covered Chase Scanlan all game and held him to 1-1.

I don’t understand it. It’s about the damndest thing I have seen. Sort of like Mark Macon at Temple? Wasn’t even on with the 2s at some points...wgdsr wrote: ↑Sun Feb 28, 2021 4:15 pm molo, damn, you said things i agree with!
lotta of guys saw the field early vs towson, and did well. we played fast.
lars talks in interviews about getting everybody time and in there and satisfying everyone. but now we're back to 5 guys see the majority of field action. everybody else cheerleads. we wear down, in game or maybe eventually. it won a championship, so hoo's to say?
rhe other thing is... 6 isn't one of those guys.
the bussed up friday. had a light practice. probably another on saturday. legs underneath, no excuse. they got outworked and outplayed.
I was stunned by the outcome and remain so.After watching the game twice.....? RPP (Rocky Point Petey) looked off his game.Of course that Phaup chap was en fuego.Hell of a backstory with that young manmolo wrote: ↑Sat Feb 27, 2021 10:50 pm Losing to the Cuse in Dome happens. Losing by 10 sets a series record. Will there be any changes for the upcoming games against High Point and Air Force, or will the flaws that were exposed this evening go unaddressed against weaker opponents?
The issues that came out against SU will not go away against Duke, ND, and UNC. The problems start in the middle of the field. When LaSalla can’t win a face-off, he needs help from his wings. The best ssdm, who was making his first appearance, got hurt. He needs to get healthy and the others, ineffective tonight, need to improve because UNC and Duke have corps of middies that rival SU.
As nice as it is to have versatile offensive players, it’s time to recognize who dies what best and put them in spots to
maximize their potential. The best offensive player should be quarterbacking the offense as an attackman. The two big lefties are effective switching between attack and midfield although it would make sense to have the more complete player play attack and let the one who capitalizes on mismatches come out of the box more. Some fans, who I assume have seen first team All Americans play attack at UVA, mistake an excellent player who is realistically a third team or AM attackman, for the best player on the team. There is one guy on this team who is likely to become a first team AA attackman before he graduates. I just told you just number.
This is a talented team? Will they contend for the NC or simply dominate inferior opponents while wilting against elite teams? Was tonight’s embarrassment simply a bad outing or a harbingyof the ACC schedule?

starting at least the umd quarters game, conrad was getting the pole in the nc$$s. don't know if there's a connection. i expect things to change.

Exactly.
