I may be wrong, but wasn't it said way back when Glennon was named the starter, that this is the same offense Glennon has been running since day 1? So, we had a RW offense and a MG offense?

There will be limited changes to the offense. The big changes you'll see are more snaps from under center, probably more focus on running game. Probably more quick slants to the slot and less jumpballs to the WRs.

Gary Grant days left


^ im really hoping we go to a more traditional pocket passer offense, but i trust the coaches to do what's right, and if not, i'll complain about it

8/12/2011 4:06:45 PM

OFFENSE
PASSING
Team: 25/43 passing for 119 yards and 1 INT (returned for TD)
RUSHING
Team: 42 carries for 124 yards


KICKING/PUNTING
Team: 4-5 FGs (41-yards, 43, 23, 42, 53-yard miss)
Team: 10 punts, 40.4 yards average

DEFENSE
Team: 14 Tackles For Loss, Eight Sacks (-45 yards)

2.7 YPA on passes is... terrible.

8/12/2011 8:04:38 PM

well the defense always does better against the offense in practice

if nothing else, take that stat to mean the defense is firing on all cylinders

8/12/2011 8:16:32 PM

it's good our early schedule is soft...the offense should have plenty of time to put it togeather.

8/12/2011 9:30:00 PM

anyone going out to meet the pack day today? i was thinking about it.

8/13/2011 11:17:27 AM

At the uniform display they had the red/red, red/white, white/red, and white/white combinations shown. I think the red jerseys have ATTACK written on the inside collar and the white ones have ROAD WARRIOR.

8/13/2011 8:04:08 PM

So I have not heard much about our O-line, other than injuries. They have a big shift in philosophy this year. What you guys think? Anyone heard of any good quotes on their progress?

8/15/2011 10:47:23 AM

^If you head on over to PP you can read a fun discussion about how our o line should lose some weight because their guts are showing in the new uniforms. Who are these people?

8/15/2011 11:15:35 AM

I just looked at the "2nd Scrimmage Stats" thread on PP.... the vast majority of people who post on that site are complete morons who just think it's "neat" to anonymously post stuff on the internet. i know we don't have many bandwagon fans, but i hope a lot of them didn't actually attend ncsu. because they're complete morons. don't get me wrong, there are some intelligent, informative posters on there. but not a lot.

Just for reference, here is an article following a scrimmage from around the same time last year:

Quote :

"RALEIGH, N.C. - NC State's football squad held a situational scrimmage on Tuesday evening in Carter-Finley Stadium. In different segments, the offense was up seven, down seven and tied with various times on the clock and available timeouts. Tom O'Brien did not release any individual statistics after the workout, but as a team the offense rushed 36 times for 122 yards, and completed 11 of 29 passes for 88 yards and one touchdown. The defense picked off four passes during the drills, tallied eight tackles for loss and four sacks. "There was a lot of enthusiasm out there tonight," said O'Brien following the workout. "It was a good scrimmage from the standpoint of giving us many teachable moments. We will use tonight's film to learn from and get better." The team will not practice tomorrow as classes start at NC State. The team will be back on the field on Thursday morning, as the Wolfpack begins its new morning practice schedule. "

8/15/2011 11:39:48 AM

^3 &^4

I agree with you both. That is why I posted the question on here and not on PP.

We will really not see a good pass rush until FSU, however we all know what can happen when you go to Wake Forest with high expectations (ala 2003). Still mad.

Our Offense is really going to be a no-show unless we can establish a passing game to open up the running game. I don't think that we are talented enough in the backfield and in run-blocking to establish a running threat to allow us to pass. I think that we will really need to improve this year (obviously) in our pass blocking. We were pretty bad last year to say the least.

^ Good point. Yeah the defense is usually always ahead of the offense early on.

#20 CJ Wilson

8/15/2011 12:18:39 PM

^ First image is of Dominique Ellis, not CJ Wilson. That was from the 41-10 UNC game. I remember b/c every PP poster talks about how they hate the white top red pants combo, and that we never seem to win in them. I quickly point out that one of the most awesome wins against UNC came with that combo.

8/15/2011 2:30:54 PM

oh yeah, i should have noticed the dreads

8/15/2011 2:37:43 PM

i like the red pants @ kenan...need to make sure some red shows on that field.

8/15/2011 2:53:26 PM

For everyone whining about the size of "STATE" on our jerseys, just be glad it's not that logo used in the CJ Wilson/Dom Ellis photos.

8/15/2011 3:16:10 PM

^ but but it helped us beat UNC

Something about that jumbotron sign or whatever looks ridiculous but I can't put my finger on what it is. I think maybe that they moved the original columns out so now they look unbalanced.

are those facebook panels video or are they actual physical signs? if so, maybe that its, they are bigger than the video part

8/15/2011 10:09:51 PM

The gap looks stupid.

^they are video

8/15/2011 10:11:56 PM

Yeah, why isn't that gap filled in with seats? What were they thinking?

8/15/2011 10:16:40 PM

I like how they put everything in red, even the Facebook and Twitter logos. You know there would be some idiots on PP saying, "why do we have to have it in blue, we should have it in red."

8/15/2011 11:09:46 PM

That and our twitter bird is a cardinal and not the blue bird

They didn't move the original columns, they just built out over the existing structure. Here's the picture I snapped at MTP day.

I thought they were going to update the Block S at the top?

8/16/2011 8:55:36 AM

They keep saying they are going to update the block S and fill in the edges around the screen so that it looks more flush

8/16/2011 9:09:55 AM

hope they do it before 1st kickoff.

8/16/2011 9:11:24 AM

everett proctor off team? is it b'c we skipped him on 21 days left?

damn, even thinner at WR

8/16/2011 12:18:35 PM

Sucks for him. Things never seemed to work out for him - injury, position change, another position change...

8/16/2011 12:21:39 PM

We officially got the LSU transfer.

That's an NFL mug with a murderers twist to it.

Good God he looks mean.

8/16/2011 12:37:29 PM

8/16/2011 12:41:52 PM

So me being Capt. Obvious..... he will be transfering and sitting out this year and will play next year hopefully? Can he practice this year?

^Also I find it really interesting when the neck is wider than the head.

8/16/2011 1:39:08 PM

^ Yeah prob so. He redshirted at LSU last year. Looks like TOB just picked up Cam Wentz's successor for 2013 hopefully.

8/16/2011 2:21:46 PM

Rated the No. 7 center in the 2010 class on Scout. Runs a 4.6 40 and played TE in high school. Innnteresting.

8/16/2011 4:07:55 PM

i also read on PP that he was an All-American?

8/16/2011 4:13:55 PM

*Half-American

8/16/2011 4:20:38 PM

heard on 99.9 earlier that Everett Proctor is leaving the team

I'm indifferent, as i don't know anything about him. What you guys make of this?

8/16/2011 5:27:06 PM

he was a WR, so it hurts depth, but i don't know that he was expected to be a game-breaker or anything. sucks to lose players, but life goes on.

8/16/2011 5:29:09 PM

haha, TOB getting all rick james "cold as iceee"
