Liebe, Lust und Leben » Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said only one of them

CLEVELAND -- Despite the penalties, sacks, missed tackles, dropped passes and everything else that went wrong for the Browns on Friday night in Florida, coach Hue Jackson isnt panicking.I dont think the sky is falling at all, he said Saturday.Maybe not, but its looking dark and ominous.In whats supposed to be the dress rehearsal for the regular season, Clevelands starters were overwhelmed by Tampa Bays in a 30-13 loss.The Browns were outplayed in all three phases and Jackson acknowledged hes got problems to address before the teams Sept. 11 opener at Philadelphia.Weve got a lot of work to do, Jackson said on a conference call Saturday. Last nights game certainly didnt go the way any of us would have liked and theres plenty for us to learn from.The clock is ticking for Jackson and his coaching staff to fix the Browns, who have dropped all three exhibitions heading into Thursdays finale at home against Chicago.The last preseason game is normally a night off for the starters so as not to risk injury before the opener. However, Jackson said he will consider playing his first-teamers against the Bears.Jackson is most concerned about a defense that was shredded in the first half by Bucs quarterback Jameis Winston, who passed for 259 yards and two touchdowns before halftime.The Browns showed improvement in stopping the run -- Tampa Bay had 76 yards on 32 carries -- but the secondary gave up too many easy completions.Were certainly not at the point that I desire or the level I want us to be, Jackson said. We defended the run better, and I think were a little bit better at tackling. But we had some miscommunication that needs to get cleaned up.The Browns rotated defensive linemen, but were unable to record a sack. Also, starting nose tackle Danny Shelton, who is trying to bounce back from a rough rookie season, didnt get on the field until midway through the first quarter as the Browns were mostly in their nickel package.Jackson said hes done mixing and matching on the defensive front and believes its time to settle on a group and let them grow.Its so important that those guys play together, be together, be able to make calls, he said. When were talking about communication issues, thats where some of that comes from.You have a lot of young guys maybe playing at a time and they hear something and dont react very quickly. Its about time we put units together and let them play and get these guys ready for the opener.Despite being sacked five times, quarterback Robert Griffin III moved Clevelands offense and provided a glimpse of hope by hooking up on two long completions with wide receiver Josh Gordon, playing for the first time since the end of the 2014 season.Griffin went 8 of 14 for 119 yards and threw a 43-yard TD to Gordon, his former teammate at Baylor.He did some really good things under duress obviously, Jackson said of RG3. Obviously, he continues to find ways to make plays down the field, and hes putting the ball in the right spots and putting his eyes in the right spots. He took some hits last night that were unfortunate.We always want to do a better job of protecting our quarterback. He stood in there, kept his poise and made some plays. But I just think hed be the first to tell you as a unit, weve got to play better, and its just not him.Jackson was pleased with running back Isaiah Crowell, but needs more players to step up.I love the big plays, but I feel like we cant be a team that just relies on big plays offensively, Jackson said. We need to sustain drives and that gets back to running the football.Jackson insists theres time to work out the kinks with his young team, but he knows there might not be enough to fix them all.I never said we were going to be a juggernaut today or yesterday, he said. Were going to keep working at this thing, and when the games start being played here in a couple weeks, thats when weve got to be at our best.Game notes Jackson said CB Justin Gilbert (concussion) and WR Marlon Moore (hip pointer) were the only significant injuries. ...

Although starting quarterback Tyler OConnor was yanked after throwing three interceptions in a 30-6 home loss at Wisconsin last week, Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio denies the Spartans have a quarterback controversy as Big Ten play continues at Indiana on Saturday night.OConnor, who led the 17th-ranked Spartans to what at the time looked like an impressive road win at Notre Dame a week earlier, was pulled late in the loss to the Badgers in favor of redshirt freshman Brian Lewerke who completed two of four passes for 26 yards but also had an interception negated by a pass interference call.It was the first time Michigan State failed to score a touchdown in a Big Ten game since 2010, but Dantonio wasnt putting all the blame on his quarterback.Football is a simple game in some respects but in other respects it becomes a complicated game and its all tied together much like any puzzle, Dantonio said. So the quarterback gets pressured, things start to happen in a negative way. Receivers are locked up, they cant get off press coverage and there is nobody to throw to then pressure starts to come even more because you cant hold the ball forever back there. And there are also times you got to find the open guy.So its an accumulation of things and obviously we made some trips to the red zone and didnt score points. Gotta score touchdowns to win football games. -- But with all that being said the quarterback is gonna get more criticism and more praise probably than he deserves, on both ends of the stick. But thats the nature of college football and football in general and you have to be able to accept that in a position of leadership, including the head coach.OConnor was the first to take the blame following the loss, and to this point, there doesnt appear to be any plans to make a change at that position despite OConnors five interceptions through the first three games. But Dantonio did leave the door open forr changes down the road.ddddddddddddHe needs to get better and hell have his opportunities as the season moves forward, Dantonio said of Lewerke. At this point in time there is no quarterback controversy. Now there may become one at some point. Its about productionMichigan State (2-1, 0-1 Big Ten) will get a chance to work through it when it travels to Indiana (2-1, 0-0), which has some quarterback issues of its own, in the nighttime game in Bloomington on Saturday.The Hoosiers come in off a 33-28 loss to Wake Forest that could have easily been a win, but quarterback Richard Lagow tossed five interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown. Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said only one of them was truly Lagows fault, but no matter how you parse it, five interceptions is five interceptions.Lagow also threw for 496 yards and three touchdowns, with two receivers going over 100 yards. However, the interceptions outweighed everything. To his credit, Lagow was watching video with wide receiver Mitchell Paige shortly after the loss, trying to figure things out.I like the way hes playing, Wilson said of Lagow, a highly touted junior college transfer. Guys behind him got to play better. I didnt think he mismanaged anything. He had one really forced pick where maybe he should have checked down, but hes a product of our group and our group let him down.One plus for Lagow and the Hoosiers is that Michigan State could be without two starting linebackers for the contest. Middle linebacker and senior captain Riley Bullough missed the Wisconsin game with a shoulder injury and is listed day-to-day while linebacker Jon Reschke is expected to be sidelined about a month after injuring his ankle late against the Badgers. Reschke has 13 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble this season. ' ' '
