Dabo Says Clemson Is “Close.” I Don’t Buy It. | Clemson Tigers Podcast

Dabo Swinney says Clemson’s offense is a lot closer than people think, but after two games, I’m not convinced this is simply an execution and precision problem. There is a difference between blocking the wrong player and blocking the right player and still getting beat. Clemson is dealing with both. Morgan Thomas breaks down why the inexperienced offensive line and quarterback situation point toward bigger roster construction problems, why Chad Morris must change the offense for Tait Reynolds, and what Clemson actually needs to do to beat North Carolina. Can Clemson protect Reynolds, stay out of third-and-long, get T.J. Moore and Bryant Wesco Jr. involved and finally turn scoring opportunities into touchdowns? That may determine whether Clemson can stabilize its season against UNC. 00:00 Clemson’s Problems Go Beyond Execution 03:27 Why Clemson’s QB Plan Failed 05:51 The Roster Management Problem 08:00 Why I Don’t Buy Dabo’s “Close” Argument 12:18 How Chad Morris Must Adjust for Tait Reynolds 15:19 Why Tait Gives Clemson a Better Chance Right Now 17:32 Clemson Has to Protect Its Offensive Line 22:17 The Blueprint to Beat North Carolina 24:50 Field Goals Cannot Be Clemson’s Offense 26:17 What Clemson Actually Needs From Tait Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
