Yes I was wrong. So used to a noon game. Lol it’s working fine. What’s up with Deshields? Was just about to talk about their stout defensive line, then boom Deshields breaks one! I agree about the slants. Love it with Erby, Lee, Woods etc. a ton of speed and then guys like Warren, Sumers and Savedg...

Defense is looking good. All those early season games of having to play double minutes on the field really toughed them up for the second half of the season, they get better every week. Got to keep this intensity for the entire game. Defense has done a good job against the run and staying disciplin...

Will weather play a factor Saturday?

Bos8

Lee is a stud just likes to u DeShields. So is Warren, but whatever it takes to win there are no hero’s. Every game is so close and at this point there is no margin for error. I’m for whatever allows the team to make the playoff this season. It been so long and we have an actual shot this season. M...

Huge win and again a huge game for Kasim and Marques. We seemed to get handled at the line of scrimmage on both sides of the ball for 3 quarters but never quit. Give O line credit for opening holes late. Deshields might have the best season for a Rhody RB in recent memory. Terrific player. Hill sol...

Bos8

Good win. Big time call on 4th and short plays off as URI is able to ice it. Deshields is able to grind out tough yards. Kasim Hill adds two rushing TDs and a big 14 yard run to get it to third and manageable. Ed Lee with nearly 200 yards, which is huge as Summers went down hurt early in the game.

Harrison Leonard really went to Notre Dame? I'm sorry, but this guy seems like a low-tier FCS kicker. Missed 2 field goals at W&M and had a super short kick that led to that big Maine return. Without trying to pile on to the kid, I am curious as to how multiple reporting outlets had him ranked ...

Bos8

On the other hand he's a great coach who can develop players...how do you think he got those connections? While I always enjoy the ripping apart of 72, the above line is probably the most important. Coaches/High Schools/Organizations have a relationship with him built off trust and development.

Bos8

Some of the responses in this thread are fascinating. Since he can't recruit, there is no point of keeping him here? Are you serious? Do you have any knowledge of Coach Johnson as as, you know, basketball coach? Do you have any idea how he is as a mentor for the guys that are here? How is he at &qu...

I agree with much of what Bigapple has posted.I 100% feel that the 2 point conversion was the right call. You call your best play and control your own destiny. It seems like we called that shovel play that we've seen work in the past, but W&M had it scouted. We had forced them to punt once the e...

Bos8

Coach Flemming mentioned that Monmouth had pulled a scholarship offer. I'd be curious to know the back story (if possible). Was it coming out of high school, or was it as a transfer? Would also be curious to hear about his process of transferring. How did he come to the decision to leave, and why di...

Bos8

Looking forward to heading down on Saturday for the game.

Bos8

Great game! Thought we could have ran the ball once or twice in overtime, especially when we started the period with a stop. But glad we pulled it off!

Bos8

Touchdown Monmouth. Great catch

Bos8

Penalties and turnovers are haunting us. Need the defense to come up with another stop here.

Bos8

Well, they sure kept that quiet. I will say, Football has always been better at keeping these kinds of secrets than basketball. My point still stands though. Kevin Brown didn't just help this team by physically being here and the talent he provided, he drew some really good recruits here in the pro...

I thought we don't feed trolls around here? He gave him a full coarse meal!! Yeah I know. He’s good. He got me. But there is the off chance that this isn’t an actual troll and is a confused, moronic south county bumpkin. I am beginning to assume that since they’re still here on the board and the mo...

Huge game today - odds Saturday morning Elon -3 URI +3 Must win for Rhody 68 degrees and sunny today after a rainy week I don't know if I would say "must win" but I would imagine we probably need 2 of the 3 against Elon, William and Mary and UNH. Would also probably need to win out agains...

In this week's two deep the running backs have swapped places with Marques DeShields listed as the starter and Jaylen Smith listed as the backup. Darius Savedge has gone from top option at third receiver to backup at the second wide receiver position and John Erby has gone from backup at the second...

Seems like a good weekend to get someone on campus. Weather forecast looks nice, sold out football game, practices in full swing etc

Maybe he felt the privilege of working with Cooley was worth it. How can you pay the guy nothing, zero, zilch? He’s listed right on the Roster for last year Cooley makes $4+ million a YEAR! PC has 10,000+ season ticket holders They play in the Big East with a huge media package Is it even legal to ...

Bos8

With the weather rolling in, may need to heavily lean upon our veteran offensive line and the two headed monster in the backfield with Deshields and Smith.

Bos8

Real big game for the Rams as they look to get back on track before a bye heading back into conference play. URI dropped from the Stats poll and check in at 25 in the coaches poll. Haven't seen them, but Brown has had two close games, winning in overtime against Bryant and staging a big time comebac...

Bos8

I dont think the decision to onside kick it was that bad. It shows your guys we aren’t out, fight until the end etc. As was correctly pointed out, the execution fell flat. Had some trouble early on establishing the run outside of Deshields long one. Really kills the drive to have minimal gains on fi...

Bos8

We like to think this D is good for one big play per game. They seem to be almost counting on it. Now would be the time. Very close to happening right there. Would like to see a clear replay. I have no idea how the referees could rule it a fumble, we could come out of the pile with it, and not get ...

Bos8

I agree jcru, that was a big possession. Get the defense some rest, drain the clock. 1 more solid minjte from defense, and regroup down 10 at halftime. All things considered down 10 isn’t as bad as it could be considering how they’ve played.

Blue Man wrote: ↑1 year ago So when have we seen enough to move on from Hill again?

How many wide open throws do we have to see 5 yards over head before we give the kid from Bama a chance?

I believe the backup in the juco kid that started at Temple. He has come in for a few plays when Hill was banged up.

Bos8

I may have missed any posts about our injuries. All the young men standing on our sideline wearing gray outfits, are they all Rhody injured players? Are they red shirts? I seem to recall URI always having quite a few redshirts that didn't travel with the team, but were on the sidelines during the h...

Bos8

Agreed! I seem to remember someone saying Jonathan Cruz should start at PG. Bam Harmon being a savior. People comparing Hurley to Baron after year 1. People challenging others to games of 1 on 1 at Mackel fieldhouse. And any sort of political thread/mask debate is an instant ignore.

Game notes are out: https://s3.amazonaws.com/gorhody.com/documents/2022/9/13/Game_3_-_Delaware.pdf Still no Kevin Brown on the two deep. Starting left guard Adam McKanna, who left with a leg injury and was on crutches is not on the two deep for this one. Harrison Leonard, the Notre Dame transfer ki...

Maybe worth noting that it will be listed in the game notes, available in the game day program, probably in the game day preview, and listed on the two deep. This is Division 1 football, not 2A High School sports...

Bos8

Maybe worth noting- Linebacker Johnny Alvarado suffered a season ending leg injury in the stony brook game.

Bos8

Our win over Stony Brook was probably the most impressive win I can remember us having. We beat a solid conference foe 35-14 on the road. We normally don't do things like that. I think that means we are pretty good ;) Rhody>Bryant. I (hope) I agree. Watching the Stony Brook game, I won't lie, a sma...

CAA twitter is usually pretty good about getting up highlights.

Bos8

Thanks for the updates. Team seems to be deeper then in years past. They appeared to do a good job of rotating fresh bodies in, especially on defense. This really paid off in the second half were we seemed to still be fresh, and wore them down. Even at running back, in years past losing an all confe...

Bos8

If you look at that game write up 2 of our 10 transfers are already out for the year with knee injuries including the D Lineman from St Francis that was well regarded. Missing Brown the entire season would sting but have heard little about him. He was a big game changer in the limited games he suit...

Bos8

Oh thanks. I wonder if we go with two tight ends at times. We have some talented tight ends. I think Brady gets some time in tonight’s game We certainly could. I will say, at least on paper we appear to be pretty deep at the WR position. Veterans like Paul Woods, Ed Lee have made solid contribution...

What's the status of Brown. I don't think he played in either scrimmage. Surprisingly the offense worries me. Hill has not been sharp and the running game just ok. Just scrimmages but....

Interesting to note that Harrison Leonard is listed as a back up on the 2 deep. Redshirt freshman Michael DeBolt is listed as the starter.

Bos8

They also rotated in Pop Robinson for a what seemed to be a drive here and there for a majority of the games. Now that Pop is gone, do they still do that with whoever the back up is next year? (Would imagine it would either be the kid from Temple or the kid who came to us from high school in Alabama)

Bos8

I haven't seen that we offered. He is definitely from Virginia (Va), as he was at Bishop O'Connell before transferring and I believe reclassing.

Bos8

Have we offered him?
