I'm Not Impressed!
I was truly hoping to be able to come back today and sing the praises of Kyle Wright and Patrick Nix and our explosive passing game against FIU, but honestly I wasn't impressed with any of the above!!! First of all, the playcalling was terrible AGAIN! I know it's early on in the first season but I'm getting frustrated with this coaching staff. We needed to go out there on Saturday and throw the ball until we got it together. We know that our backs can tote the rock, what we don't know is whether we can pass the ball enough to keep defenses from loading up the box against our run game. As far as I can see, we didn't learn anything, improve anything or take any steps in the right direction. We looked awful against a team that we should have been motivated to beat up on. I'm not optimistic about Thursday night showdown with Texas A&M. I love the Canes with all my soul, but the Aggies will pound us into the ground if we don't get our act together real fast. Now Kyle Wright is a great mystery to me, on one hand he makes throws that most QB's can't but on the other he holds the ball too long and throws Bret Favre worthy interceptions. This is not rocket science and the O-line is working their butts off so make the throws!! We needed to make a statement that the OU game was not an indication of where we are, but no one got that statement on Saturday afternoon. Honestly we looked like a team that is among the lower tier teams in the country, we looked like a team that shouldn't be in the top 25 and we looked like a team that is absolutely lost with no identity offensively. So what could we possibly build on going into Thursday night?? A great run game, a good defense and 1 really good pass against FIU, pretty thin huh?? Well I think the Canes can win and even though they played like a lower tier team the last two weeks, I don't believe that we are lower tier. I believe we can win the ACC and get to a BCS bowl, but only if we open up the playbook, run the ball well and for God's sake catch the ball recievers!! Right now I'm not going to predict a win on Thursday, based on the last two weeks it looks bleak, but I'm going to hope that Coker's Canes can suddenly become Shannons Canes in the next 4 days. Please wake up Hurricanes, your fans are still behind you!! Go Canes...
