Subject: Re: Brown @ Princeton Author: Grin and Bear it (Sad) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:28:34 10/18/24 Fri In reply to: Moonbear 's message, "Brown @ Princeton" on 19:15:01 10/18/24 Fri Brown's performance tonight was sad, real sad. It was one error after another. In an earlier posting I sang the praises of Mat Childs. And while I still think he will be a great player in this league, tonight he showed that he is still very raw. His two fumbles were a killer, and one look at him on the sidelines showed that he knew it all too well. But what is really puzzling is why Brown's defense continues to make the same errors. For one thing, they never blitz the QB. And when I say never, I mean never. Additionally, there were so many missed tackles tonight, I stopped counting. The defensive coordinator is going to cost Perry his job. Like GG said, perhaps Perry is the next Archer, one big win and the rest disappointing. One other thing that should have been corrected by now, Wilcox was constantly running for his life. On the other hand, the Princeton QB had a lifetime to throw or run. Perhaps this would not have been the case had Brown blitz on occasion. Sad, real Sad. Get rid of the DQ asap and don't consider Perry to be indispensable. So far, he has failed to impress.

[> [> Subject: Re: Brown @ Princeton Author: Ever True [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 10:42:42 10/19/24 Sat As I look around the league, it's difficult for me to see where another win will come from. However, I felt that way last year and they managed to beat Penn and Columbia on the road. The Ivy schedule is filled with surprises. FWIW, I was more disappointed with the offense than the defense, which kept us hanging around despite 5 turnovers from the offense. The fumbles were killer, but equally bad were the first two interceptions from Willcox, the first of which set up a Princeton touchdown, the second of which brought a successful drive at the end of the first half to a screaming halt. Childs is very raw, but Willcox is in his third season as starter. I imagine Perry will be around for the foreseeable future. He has brought the team back to respectability after the nadir of the late Estes years and he has a new indoor practice facility on the way. Brown Athletics has shown a good deal of loyalty to the prodigal sons who make their way back to College Hill - case in point, Brandon Whittet, who still finds himself gainfully employed despite years of mediocrity. Underclassmen and juniors are contributing on this team, which provides hope for the future. That being said, it's too early to write off this team. They can score in bunches and if they eliminate the self-inflicted wounds, they may surprise a team or two this fall. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Brown @ Princeton Author: Moonbear [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 13:40:33 10/19/24 Sat “Mediocrity” is too kind a description for Brendan Whittet, who has amassed a career winning percentage around .350 over his 14 seasons at Brown. Many of us would kill for such job security. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
