We talkin about our Brown or the IUP Brown ?

Yours. Our players cannot chirp at all or you all will write revenge songs.

Apparently your program is fueled by revenge every season.

Not if it’s an IUP player, you will be OUTRAGED and will want revenge!

When you lead the nation in all-purpose yards, I'll put up with a little chirping.

Lol cuz he’s not on your team. All good, it’s an emotional game.

Well said Nation, I got more respect for a guy that chirps all the time than one who talks smack only when he up…#30 SU great player no doubt but very unlikeable that’s for sure.

Sounds a lot like Trevor and Cody Harris, two Edinboro QBs from a decade ago or more.

So he doesn’t know how to win with class. Duly noted.

What goes around will eventually come around and hopefully you Swifties will take what you dish out.

Welcome to the first edition of Buying or Selling.

Today's item: the secondary

No group got more scrutiny this year (and last). They had some terrific games this year. They had some horrific games this year, too.

The pros:

* Still very young. This year was a true freshman, several true sophomores, and, board favorite (No. 11) Taylor (a junior).

* Very experienced group heading in to 2023

* Very athletic and fast

* Tort thinks very highly of this group

The cons:

* Remeber that game in Erie?

* Remember the game 72 hours ago?

* Lots of blown coverages this year -- especially early.

* Some killer (stupid) personal fouls at extremely bad times ... happened a lot, actually.

* Good QBs in dry conditions shredded them this year (ESU, Gannon, Shepherd Rd2).



The top 9 DBs return in 2023. That's a lot. But, is this a group that needs some upgrade this off-season, or, are you comfortable with a year older version in 2023 (when the league will have a lot less big time QBs)?

Secondary. Are you buying or selling what the CO-OP shirt slinger is selling?

The secondary is fine numbers wise, one more transfer corner in order to move Taylor to Safety is there wish list.

I think this group is fine as is, but I’ll caution and say they won’t be as good if the holes aren’t filled on the D-Line. A secondary can look better than it is when there’s pressure on the QB, and I think we saw some of that this season. That said, this will be a very experienced group next year with no shortage of talent.

Regarding Taylor, he can be a great player if he just focuses on playing football and doesn’t get caught up in the other nonsense. In my opinion, it was a wash this year in terms of his positive contributions versus negative. That’s not good enough for someone with his talent. He needs to learn it’s a “we” game and not a “me” game. If he can mature and do that the entire group will be better. If he can’t, I’d rather not see him out there.

I think having a shut down secondary at this level is more a luxury than a reality. You shut down passing more by getting to the QB’s….

So he doesn’t know how to win with class. Duly noted.

What goes around will eventually come around and hopefully you Swifties will take what you dish out.

It's typically not the guys on the actual offense or defense that start most of that stuff. It's usually the 'along for the ride' dudes on the bench.

Those are all the special teams 'lit' dudes. That's why there are so many stupid flags on kickoffs. They never shut up and can't grasp the whistle means to stop.

That's the No. 1 reason I wish we could get a kicker who could routinely bury kickoffs for touchbacks. It would save IUP a personal foul just about every week (not to mention a couple injuries).

[IUPNation]

If you all would've stopped #30 he probably wouldn't have talked so much. 3 TDs does make one a little more chirpy.

#7 for Shepherd a real Ass hat, dude was chirping all game and after…His own team was telling him to shut up kinda funny. Thought Shepherd overall discipline and class was subpar #30 another dude that needs a talking to. Looks like big Ernie has minimal if any control…just sayin

Right... if that's the case than no coach has any control... just sayin
