I say that the O/U is 3.5
Posted Mon, Apr 21 9:37 am
Talking about the number of games that Nico refuses to play because he's getting hammered by the defense and spends most of his time on his back.

Maybe you should vent by starting a group Signal chat claiming he should be deported.

With fans like you, who needs optimism?

Glad you're enjoying retirement. Perhaps you should follow Rabid in making a U-Turn on Nico coming. It will make you a happier human being the next 4 months until the season starts.

Just pointing out the obvious fact that Nico will spend a lot time on his back. How much of that will he take before self benching?

Nico's greatest strength, apart from his arm

is his mobility and creativity. OL is still a question mark, but his abilities make that MUCH less of a problem than it would have been with Aquilar.

Totally different offense coming this year

Eric Bieniemy was a one and done by Coach Foster. Thankfully CDF recognized the OC was terrible. That alone will drastically alter what our stats look like this year.

EB couldn't orchestrate a run game to save his job and lacked creativity. Under Chip we saw multiple lineman pulling, counters, options, quick pitches, short screens, you name it. I watched UCLA last year do a lot of start with a handoff draw and the QB keep it if there wasn't something open immediately. From watching an offensive line standpoint it was brutal. Nothing to keep the D honest or anchored home. And thus, Garbers was under pressure frequently & our starting running back typically averaged about 30 yards a game.

My guess is the new OC Sunseri brings with him a lot more motion & movement which will help in so many ways to keep the QB upright.

Our bad. We all thought you were just pointing out Nico only cares for himself or not a team player or has a bad character as a human being and wilt under bad circumstances. Didn't realize ou were pointing out that our OL are incompetent bunch
