Holy Cross has been good but we play them at home. Minnesota of the B-10 is a buy game so no expectation to win, unlike last season against Georgia State, where the boys almost pulled off the upset road win. At Delaware is most likely a loss, same with at UNH. The rest is winnable but that’s alread...

I wonder what our connection is there.

Our DB coach is from SHU.

Hopefully we can sign some offensive lineman that can block for him.

Huge news! Guys that can get you double digit sacks are hard to come by.

FmrRamFB1

Most aren’t getting NIL money. AJ Cornelius and probably Antonio Carter, yes. Most think their talent is greater than their ability. Of the 3 DL transfers from last season, 2 went G-5 schools as backups, and the other paid to walk on at FSU to never play. The grass may be greener for some but not mo...

No surprise, AJ Peña is entering the portal. I’d expect Buchanan to join as well. Fleming has his work cut out for him.

FmrRamFB1

And now he’s entering the transfer portal. Wouldn’t be surprised if Peña and Buchanan enter as well.

FmrRamFB1

absolutely, as facilities have improved, recruiting has improved. I don't like how the university media page hides or glosses over the ending of this game. For instance, yesterday at my brother's house on Thanksgiving, he was like, what happened at the end of that game? "Penalty for: too many ...

The defense had issues (the portal didn’t help us). However, the ineptitude in the red zone killed us. There was too much talent to be 14th in red zone offense.

: Wasted opportunity

One of the best running backs in program history wasted with over 850 yards & 13TDs…part time. Imagine the numbers if he started from day 1.

A complete coaching failure.

FmrRamFB1

Absolutely brutal end. We get it down to the Towson 30 with five seconds left and no timeouts, clock stopped for the first down. Instead of clocking it where we'd have 2 or 3 seconds left and all the time needed to setup for the game winning field goal we tried to rush the field goal unit on the fi...

He wastes talent worse than Fleming.

They weren’t prepared. No one can defend this, a change needs to happen.

FmrRamFB1

Terrible coaching!!! Fleming is awful

Terrible coaching!!!

FmrRamFB1

I agree. You can't fire Fleming, he's pretty much unfireable at this point. His performance mirrors the performance of his QB: which is to say, very good, just not good enough to clear that last hurdle. He runs a clean program, he is constantly improving the quality of recruits, everything trends u...

PeterRamTime wrote: ↑5 months ago Yet again not maximizing the talent on the roster

McKenzie is the CAA Co-Player of The Week. He’s 1 TD shy of the program record…as a back-up. He could’ve easily run for 1200+ yards this season. No other coach would’ve started Sloat over this kid. What an absolute travesty.

FmrRamFB1

I have a question that I think deserves its own thread. Why the hell hasn't Jaden McKenzie been the clear #1 back the entire season? Believe it or not, today was his first start. In every other game, Gabe Sloat has been the back to open the game. For those that have watched him the past 2 games, Ja...

Yeah, it’s time. Thor needs to but he won’t unfortunately. Fleming has done a great job recruiting, but his in-game decisions are asinine. We start every game with a coaching disadvantage and the rest of the conference knows it.

FmrRamFB1

Fleming needs to make changes to his staff or else next year will be worse. This was a complete embarrassment.

Fire the OC, he’s terrible. 1st and goal and we don’t run McKenzie for the 2nd straight game.

We are not good as a one dimensional team Kasim is good but not as a typical drop back passer. He needs to play off a solid run game, use RPO and improvise. Criminal misuse of McKenzie all year. Silas and Sloat looked good running wide but we seldom went to it. When the whole stadium knows he’s pas...

This is concerning. uri.brown.stats01.jpg That ToP and 3rd down Conversion stat should not be happening with a team with a 7th year QB. It's putting all sorts of undue pressure on the Defense to "save the day" over and over again for one thing. There is no way a team like Brown should hav...

It doesn’t matter, it only matters if you lose the game. Every potential playoff team will have close victories.

The 7-4 season is akin to Jim Baron's 20-win seasons. I know it sounds sacrilege, but if you think about it, it's not even that, because Jim Baron went to the NIT several times. URI Football hasn't seen a post season in nearly 3 decades. Is 7-4 loads better than 3-8? Yep. Is that "level" ...

I was hoping the Meade East Side stands would be roughly the size of the old Memorial Stadium stands at UConn with the addition of luxury boxes. Roughly 10-12K for the east side. URI does need to create a winning culture and will help make Football games an enjoyable experience for both. It does se...

FmrRamFB1

The problem is parking if Meade expands. At some point a 13-15k stadium would be ideal for hosting bigger football programs- ACC outcasts or New England Pillow biters- UConn/UMass. These teams will be looking for local action once they are left out of the ACC. There may come a time in the next 10 y...

Hill needs to stop sliding and try to make guys miss. Sliding does nothing but keep the clock running.

Rhodymob05 wrote: ↑7 months ago Need some major adjustments at halftime or they’re toast.

One adjustment defensively would be to maintain contain. OLB’s are crashing down and giving up big outside runs.

Typical bad loss (potentially) during the season that drops us in the polls and we end up being 7-4.

Apparently you can get in the playoffs by throwing 56% with 27 INTs.

Good stuff here! No matter what is done to Meade I think it’s obvious it will be a horse shoe type stadium. Stands on each sideline and the south end zone. Let’s just hope it’s all connected and you walk on a concourse to each section from one end to another. I’m ok with closing it in real tight. M...

This really is a great topic. We can see a potential deterioration of the A10 BB conference, what if UConn leaves the BE, do they poach Dayton or VCU? They not us are the most interesting replacements. Basketball has drove the athletic conference conversation at URI and it’s still our most popular ...

BC kind of messed with him... is a DL by trade but they moved him to OL this year due to number injuries on their OL. Getting him back at his natural position will help, I think.

That blows. Lot of seniors leaving, who knows when they’ll be this competitive again. Every team loses seniors or has players transfer. Of the 18 seniors, 8 MAYBE were impactful players.

arrgh. All these days later, my biggest gripe is that they did not play to win. They played not to lose. Just like the prevent defense at the end of the first half. With 3.5 mins left in the game, they had control of their own destiny, they were ahead and they could have stopped UNH from getting th...

It’s crazy with 20 seconds left you let a guy get behind you. Just an inexcusable mistake by a Senior DB. We’ve played overly conservative all year so that putrid drive where we didn’t throw the ball wasn’t surprising. After that first first down by Deshields we should have called the 3 best plays ...
