I only saw the first half but we are much further compared to last year's spring game. I liked what i saw from Brisset in the game other than that one pick he threw into double coverage. He has good leadership, a good arm, is quick, and plays with swagger. The o-line was getting hammered which forced him out of the pocket a lot but he's quick enough to create a play of his own... i just hope he stays healthy the entire season. Bo Hines is a freshman receiver to pay attention to this season. Last, it was nice to see Russel Wilson jersey get retired at NC State. Wolfpack nation was gravitating towards him and i never seen anything like it, but that what happens when you win the Superbowl.

So, when we play real defenses, do you think the O-line will be able to protect Brissett long enough for him to make plays? He looks good out there, but our O-line could barley take the white team so...

Televised teams had close high scoring games. Does that just mean they have a lot more depth than we do?

^I realize you're doing your thing, but he was facing the 2nd team defense.
4/13/2014 7:46:05 PM
Offensive lines don't usually mesh to their full potential in the spring
4/13/2014 7:50:30 PM
^^ oh I know, and I would state it meaning just that... just saying that OTHERS wouldnt accept that and would swear that I was trolling

Jaybee's routine can't phase me this season. Cause the ACC are still the national champions.[Edited on April 13, 2014 at 7:54 PM. Reason : all the other conferences are inferior]
4/13/2014 7:54:22 PM
How'd look in the Alumni game?
4/13/2014 9:02:24 PM
usually the red team is 1st string O and 2nd string D, white team is 2nd string O and 1st string D. That makes way more sense to me than having 1st vs 2nd on the field. anyone know why they did that?
4/14/2014 11:48:41 AM
To make our first teams look better than they really are.
4/14/2014 12:01:09 PM
We're coming off a horrible season with 0 conference wins and season tickets are just going on sale...it looks much better to have your starters look amazing.
4/14/2014 12:10:34 PM
Do not like. IMO, that takes all the fun out of the game. If I want to see the starters play a team which is worse at literally every single position, I'll go to the Ga. Southern game. I want to see 1st team vs. equivalent competition on both sides of the ball. Would have gone to the R&W if I were in town anyway, but still disappointing.
4/14/2014 1:53:42 PM
Seems like a small time move a coach who knows his team sucks would make.
4/14/2014 1:56:52 PM
I will voice the question that we are pondering internally... would TOB have done this? Would he have done this indeed?
4/14/2014 1:58:40 PM
Not a big deal guys. It was a scrimmage game. Offense is more exciting.
4/14/2014 2:14:51 PM
From what I'm understanding about the game, here are things we, as fans, learned about the team:Our D-Line is similar to the past several years: not studded with superstars, but strong and very deep.Our O-line is deserving of a Charles Barkley impression.We will see the impact of Doeren's recruiting starting now.

Brissett and Hines

^ that makes no sense... the people DOING it need to get over themselves. Simply responding genius, simply responding.If I had said that you would have been one of the first to pounce.
4/14/2014 3:12:11 PM
True...I was going to say "wolfpack message board"...but that didn't really seem accurate either."Message board full of socially deprived 30 somethings" is probably better.Bottom line was that brought yourself up in a thread that had absolutely nothing to do with you or your favorite team. Get over yourself.

When I looked over the recruits that DD got us, they didn't look too impressive. Yeah, they were better than what we have had, but they are still no where near the level that we need to get to a 5-6 win season. I'll give DD this season to prove that he isn't a bad coach, but if he can't get us to at least 5 wins then I think Yow needs to start shopping again.
4/14/2014 3:56:17 PM
that's pretty rough man... 2 years? I would say visible improvement is more important than W/L total
4/14/2014 4:02:30 PM
I think its too early to draw conclusions from the new recruits. The only conclusion im confident in making is that our quarterback play will be much improved this year. Some guy in TWW said that Brisset sucked and some folks claimed he was garbage b/c he couldn't start over Driskel but i liked what i saw even if it was against the 2nd team. It seems like our o-line had been a lingering problem. I remember Russel Wilson scrambling more than any other ACC QB because our o-line was so porous. I saw a lot of short passes during the scrimmage which seems like a good way to neutralize this issue. Thornton was on the 2nd team offense but he couldn't get much going so that means our d line is pretty tough or he needs to get in better shape. Doeren has the tools to run his system so this is his year to prove his worth.[Edited on April 14, 2014 at 6:34 PM. Reason : ...]

I would say any coach with a questionable offensive line does not have "the tools to run his system"
4/14/2014 7:01:02 PM
will it be that bad?
4/14/2014 7:36:47 PM
No idea as I wasn't there, but from everything I've read (including what yrey said), it sounds like offensive line is still a weakness. Kinda hard to say Doeren has all the tools if the offensive line is not very strong.
4/14/2014 7:53:38 PM
I was there, and if Jacoby plays the entire season, there is no way in hell we'll approach last year. We were historically bad at qb and our home schedule is laughably easy.
4/14/2014 8:03:11 PM
i was there too, and our offense owned our second team defensewe havent won shit yet, and i dont trust this coaching staff. we shall see.
4/14/2014 8:12:30 PM
3 ACC wins isn't approaching last year, ya dig?
4/14/2014 8:16:09 PM
still though man i think 3 acc wins might be a bit optimistici don't know though, maybe brissett will be awesome. however: 51 freshmen and sophomores on the team.
4/14/2014 8:19:20 PM
I think 2-6 in conference would be pretty impressive. After all, we play in the ACC. We're the champs.
4/14/2014 8:31:26 PM
I hope my Vols get to 3 SEC wins this year. Otherwise it might be time for a coaching change.
4/14/2014 8:42:58 PM
Exhibit A. Told you
4/14/2014 8:55:25 PM
Why don't you be a martyr and quietly take the ribbing Jibbles?
4/14/2014 9:51:08 PM
i mean, you are playing an annoying Vols fan on an NCSU sports message board. Just ignore the unobjective haters, drop the persecution complex, and be the most objective voice of reason that you can be! that we all know you can be!
4/14/2014 10:17:04 PM
It may not of been the best choice of words but he has the most important element to run his system which is a dual threat quarterback. Last year he had several zero threat QBs. I just hope Brisset is resilient b/c I imagine him taking some hits this year.

no, obviously I was using it to show that I cant just post on here about the topics at hand without someone saying something unrelated or trolling. So it's not me that needs to "stop" or "get over it" or whatever catch phrases you always spout out, it's they that need to stop but I never see you getting on to them (not a peep about "how tower, this thread is about the NC State Spring Game, why did you bring up Tennessee??"). I realize its the "oh we can be anonymous assholes online" thing that you and your little cronies are doing, but you arent 12, and its not like the internet is some brand new thing, its been a pretty standard form of communication for almost 20 years now and people should be able to handle using it in a mature manner by now.

na bro, some of us are mature enough to be able to talk sports like an adult and not hide behind an "internet persona". I dont give a shit about what you people think about me so that's not the angle, there is no "woe is me" or whatever you call it because I really dont care. The angle is I dont want every single thing I post turn into a "let us post something about Tennessee or him being fat" and throw off EVERY topic I post in. Anyone else posts a negative (or hell, even neutral) about State its fine, I do it, and the thread instantly dissolves into "you are fat" or "fuck Tennessee". Just like this thread. Someone said:

This thread wouldn't have led to that if you haven't posted:
4/15/2014 9:36:16 AM
no, actually didnt expect any response for that, just wanted it pointed out for the record so when I say something similar people dont derail the thread maybe
