I thought the issue was play calling by Dez?

So, is the band dressed out in full uniform or are they dressed in t-shirts and shorts? I'm really hoping the new band director is more serious than the previous band directors were.

as wet as is was they should have been in shorts

That is a mind boggling statistic when you consider he started the game 1 of 4 (25%) three incompletions and then went on to have only 1 incompletion the rest of the game.

Four incompletions total. Two interceptions, one was a fluke.

After the rough start Lunch was on fire 16 of 17 did not touch the ground.

No Drops. No Drops in the rain. The kids call that drip.

I saw him limping into the half. Anyone know what play he got hurt on or what his injury is? He did not have one catch and little playing time in first half.

He wasn't targeted once. No knowledge of injury / someone will know.

Desormeaux took responsibility for calling a certain play, 'one time too many.'

I think it was for Beale's int but I can't be 100% certain that was the play Dez was referring to.

Nah I'm referring to the entire last season. It wasn't play calling. It was dropping the Football.

Also, Dez said that b/c that's how it's done.

Des said he came out on the first series and didn’t return. No specifics on the injury.

[zephyr]

He played the first series and that was it. I would guess he just wasn't ready to come back from his previous injury. I'm thinking he tried to give it a go and it just didn't respond like he wanted.

Eh debatable. If it was really hot outside, debatable. I’ve seen multiple bands across the country wear an alternate uniform because of the weather. What should happen in event of rain is full uniform without plumes (the feathers that go on the shako hats) and rain coats. That’s what we did when I was in POA.
My main concern is the current size of the band. I could barely hear them on the espn+ broadcast. I’m sure there are efforts being made by the directors because I heard they are inviting high schoolers to sit in with them for one game this season. We need all the recruiting opportunities we can get.

True, but the head PA Buffoon came in LOUD and clear on the +....fire Tuna!

I've been as critical as any on here about Beale but his throw was not necessarily careless. That was a set play, not a read. The DB just read it and jumped it perfectly.

Des took the blame for the pic 6 in the post game. Said he went to that play to much during the game.

We need him to get healthy. He is a vital part of our offense.

I was at the game, but had recorded the game. I just rewatched the game. Beale actually played well in the 4th quarter. Last year, he had that deer in the headlights in all of his starts. I know that one quarter does not make a season, but he looked so much more comfortable out there leading the team. Pics happen. Lunch had 2? But his passing was accurate and handling of the offense was under control. However, let's all hope we only get to see him in mop up duty this year and for no other reason.
