Comments on: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly — Missouri State http://www.razorbloggers.net/2009/09/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-missouri-state/ Arkansas Razorbacks Sports Blog Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:31:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: TulsaHawgfan http://www.razorbloggers.net/2009/09/the-good-the-bad-and-the-ugly-missouri-state/comment-page-1/#comment-33092 TulsaHawgfan Thu, 10 Sep 2009 10:34:13 +0000 http://www.razorbloggers.net/?p=5250#comment-33092 I recorded the game and went back to look at the plays Broderick Green ran. Missouri State was expecting run on every one and loaded up the center with extra players. I'm sure the coaches upstairs noticed this but they called middle runs anyway. I suspect they were testing the line and Green and didn't care about the points because the game was well in hand. I hope everyone learned something and improve in the future. The Cox signal was perfect in Tulsa. The broadcast was rough around the edges and not very professional. I did enjoy Clint Sterner - he's got a future in broadcasting if he stays with it.

There hasn't been any charges filed yet, and I seriously don't think there will be. Some young 18 year old chick got drunk at a frat party, got a little carried away with the sexual induindo concerning 3 of the basketball players, got them a little excited, and whala, guess what happened next? She wakes up the next morning, all of her friends tell her the redicules details and what the end result was, and guess what? Automatically it becomes all their (players) fault. Well boo-hoo-hoo, if you can't cut it in the kitchen little girl, then quit acting like the cook! I don't believe anything will happen with the situation on the basketball players.

Leave him at home a couple of games if needed. Who is Frank's old buddy that was a kicking coach?? Smith has not shown the improvement on special teams that is needed. The return (offensive) teams are better but the kicking (defensive) teams are worse if that is possible. This staff is so agressive, I hope it doesn't take them too long to understand, the SEC is ultimately about defense.

It wasn't unusual to see him out on the practice field with a bag of footballs. Last year he got way too much coaching on how to kick. Plus, he had a nagging injury. This year they've messed with his kicking motion again. He was a much better kicker before they started coaching him up. To agree with GolfHog and go a bit further - Tejada has too many 'swing thoughts' going on. Just get a good snap and hold and kick it. I've watched Forester quite a bit. As long as the kick is under 33 yards he would be fine. The kick-offs you saw Saturday were not really representative of what we saw in the open practices. They were trying to get a bit cute as Sunshine said - call it 'in-game practice'. Tejada worked hard all summer. It wasn't unusual to see him out on the practice field with a bag of footballs.

Well how long does it take to relax. This is major college football we don't have the time to let someone relax very long. He had all off-season and is one year older and we have the same problems. At some point we have to step out and say what everyone is beginning to see and that is he is just not a very good college kicker. The kid from Evangel Christian last week when they played Shiloh is a better kicker than Tejada right now. We need to find a kicker this year, that has to be a priority. By the way, Forester who is one of our punters had to fill in at kicker while he as at Hawaii and I heard he did pretty good. Give him a try.

Beyond that, it is obvious, the talent and effort on the field represents great improvement in one year. No wonder Petrino seems more relaxed on the sideline. The offense will go as far as the line will carry it. The skill positions are stocked and playing hard and well. I was especially glad to see the quality depth at running back and great effort by our recievers. The defense is still a work in progress but, by midseason they may surprise you. I hope so. Tejada's kicking is like a bad day at the golf course, it's all in your head. The kid has got to relax and kick away. It was fun, now two weeks until the season really begins.

We need every advantage we can get before SEC play begins. This is a very important game for the Hogs. It could very well be the launch pad for a very sucsessful season. GO HOGS GO, BABY!!!!!

When well executed, this is a good strategy to limit big returns. However, kicking it out of bounds kinda defeats the purpose. ;) Correctable mistakes.

Why so far over? This already ensures that you have that much less field to work with. If they had kicked more from the center of the field, I'm guessing that 2 of these out of bounds would probably have stayed in bounds. The other thing that was very concerning for me is why did both kickers have this issue?

The commentary was not too impressive, but the signal was there without interruption. I can only imagine the frustration in NWA over this. ESPN Game Plan via DirecTV was flawless.
