Stanford gets a 6 foot 7 TE and they start him. We get a 6 foot 7 Cary Angeline and he sits and is used sparingly.

We need guys with true double digit sack potential. I'm thinking either someone speedy like a Tim Williams or a Power guy like a Jonathan Allen. Right now we seem to be counting on converted LB's to fill that role and it shows. Not to be disrespectful to our guys that are working hard but pass rushing is an art form some guys just are. I really believe if you are going to get to a NC game you cannot have this liability. My question is: Are there any pure pass rushers available in the 2018 that could fill this role?

Even though they should have plenty of tape from last season. Will there be any major changes for Saturday's offense, can we expect it to be more run focused? They seemed to go away from running after first drive for a large part of game and hopefully it was to give receiving corps and Sam more game time since they seemed to be out of sync.

Is this intentional? It seems that this should be a correctable skill execution. It could be intentional to freeze the defense reaction but what do you think?

It was the first plays of the drive-shouldn't Rojo or Carr be in if they're healthy?

Jcanderson69 Junior Member Joined: Aug 24, 2017 Messages: 934 Likes Received: 722 Sep 7, 2017 #33 yes, this was alarming, small thing I noticed was that Tyler Vaughns dropped the first pass, didn't have gloves on (seen this in practice too) then wore gloves rest of the game. Stuff like this you figure out in warm up, unless you have some weather pop up that makes for the change. Sidney came in and made the most of his one chance...I hope JI and Lewis get some reps this week and come to play.
