A Call to Arms: BEAT MIAMI
Growing up in a Virginia Tech household, I've always had an itch come Saturdays in the fall. From making Pilgrimages to Blacksburg every Saturday with my family, to playing under the lights on Friday Nights for dominant high school program, this only deepened this obsession. When I decided to commit my college life to a basketball rich campus in the summer of 2007, I made a commitment to never lose that football obsession. I've dedicated too many years of my life NOT to carry out this practice of getting too fired up on Fall Saturdays. My "football crazy," as my girlfriend calls it, will never allow me to lose hope or faith in a team. This year is no different. Even after watching Carolina squander away opportunities in person, two Saturdays ago, I haven't given up on what opportunity lies ahead for Larry Fedora's team. I haven't given up on the 120+ individuals that makes up this sleeping giant of a college football program.
In my opinion, there are few sports that you can compare to college football. We, as fans, are limited in the outcome of what we can do to determine the result of the game. We can't make the play calls, we can't throw flags, we can't tackle. We can't make blocks, we can't hit the right gaps, we can't kick field goals. The one thing as fans we can do is be as loud as humanly possible for our team. When Kareem Martin flies of the edge forcing a fumble, when Bryn Renner connects a rainbow to a streaking Quinshad Davis, when Romar Morris breaks a tackle and has nothing but open field, unleash a sound wave the spans the Greater Triangle Area. With our backs completely against the wall it's time to sack up as a fan base and provide relentless support for this team. It's time for everyone to do a lil extra.
First series on offense and defense: Set the tone. Make sure Miami knows what's gonna hit em' every down on every drive.
Running Backs and Receivers: finish your runs and routes, fight for that extra yard, North and South. Offensive line: fire off the ball, maul with some stank in your ass, and block your tits off.
Front seven: Wrap up, cause havoc, fly to the ball.
DBs: Stuff at the LOS, and lay the wood.
Home crowd: Deafen Miami's offense. Be loud, be proud and stay fired up.
THE NEW SEASON STARTS TONIGHT. GO BEAT MIAMI.
GO HEELS.

#WFPFilmReview #ECU: A Defensive Debacle
After a strong enough defensive performance to win in Atlanta, I sensed that this unit was finally starting to come around. Even as I broke down the ECU squad, I felt despite the talent they had on offense, as well as their defense, I couldn't help but think this would be the game when we all started to put it together. From the first snap, the game played out completely against my thinking. Carolina was straight dominated by the ECU Pirates on both sides of the ball. We were out played, out schemed, out hustled and out coached by an opponent that we dominate year in and year out. The display shown in Kenan (I've watched this game twice in as many days) was not only uninspired, if threw up several red flags:
- The first is was time after time we had defensive players (including some of our best) lining up in the wrong spots as well as completely blowing their assignments. We've approached Week 6 in the season, it's time to wake up and get focused
- A very close friend of mine saw a sideline confrontation between our best defender and DC watched in Kenan Saturday after a blown assignment on Carden's thired rushing TD of the day. Essentially the DC chewed this player out and the yelled at each other for a bit. The coordinator then kinda paced around by himself for a drive. If there's mess going around internally, the coaching staff needs to man up and get this fixed. The players in turn need to respect their superiors. I understand this stuff happens in frustrating situations in the heat of battle, but whatever beefs there are in this locker room need to get straightened out. If this bullshit is allowed to ferment it'll get worse before it gets better.
The next two games, more than ever are gut check times. Each member of this program, players and staff need to take a good hard look at themselves in the mirror and begin to restore the honor of what it means to represent this fine university. As a fan I'm sick of watching year after year (cept for a gutted 2010 squad) essentially underachieve and lose games they have no business losing. It's time for for this team, this coaching staff, and this program to sack up.

GET FOCUSED #WFPFilmReview https://t.co/h174EqqX1C- The second was effort we played with after a disappointing loss. AJ Blue made it known that their was a lack of focus and preparation from the team. This lack of focus from the coaches and the players was clearly shown in one defining play: The 9 players on defense, in which every UNC exhibited terrible technique

Awful pad level by Kareem Martin. #ECU having their way with him. #WFPFilmReview https://t.co/soU9tten8H- and then there were ALL OF THE MISSED TACKLES

#ALLOFTHEMISSEDTACKLES #WFPFilmReview https://t.co/9fF0Mr2aTc- and how about these two plays of ECU LOS domination which led to missed tackles

#ECU Hawgs controlling the LOS #WFPFilmReview https://t.co/4IB7mCak3w- and now for the Achilles Heel of our offense: The O Line
— FRATTARIUS HAMM (@FootbawFrat) September 30, 2013
PISS POOR BLOCKIN https://t.co/UTcAWKZVDuI jumped the gun thinking that having a core of Hurst and Bodine back on the front that they'd provide decent support for the youngin's that were filling the three slots vacated by three current NFL Linemen. I've been promptly reminded how difficult it is to replace 3 stud o linemen from a consistency and cohesiveness standpoint. Look at Bama, they lost a good chunk of their line and have struggled against good defenses because of the cohesiveness lost from the departed. O Line play is determined least by talent, it is always determined by technique and how gel'd the group plays. This front may have talent, but they haven't clicked for an entire quarter this season. If this group cannot pull themselves together, this offense will continue to sputter.
