We only have one availability this week, and that's happening now. I will pass along notable quotes. Supposed to have Will Putnam, Cade Klubnik, Garrett Riley, Wes Goodwin, Toriano Pride and Wade Woodaz.

Putnam is here. He is asked how he views the OL performance so far...He says it's tough losing Walker Parks, and Parks is sorely missed. They've had to overcome that. And now they are plugging in different guys and figuring out what works.

Can you ask Riley about lack of success in the Redzone thus far this year and play calling in redzone opportunities?

Putnam says Harris Sewell played really well as a true freshman, really wants to win for his teammates. Plays through the whistle. He says Sewell "has an exponential curve to him" and "Harris is ahead of me" as a freshman.

Putnam says he thinks the run game is close to breaking out, needs to eliminate turnovers, 3-and-outs and stay on the field.

Cade is here, says this open date is "very necessary" and "football is a physical game, and even if you're not injured you're still beat up." He said he feels good and will rest his arm.

Cade says the Tigers will practice Mon-Wed-Thur - they want to get better. And then they will have some time off and he wants to take advantage of it and reset and just get away from football for a bit.

On the fumble Sat., Cade said he read the DE crashing, which means he needs to pull it. But Wake had a LB scraper (LB looping to where the DE should be) and he tried to give it too late. Said Wake did it four times.

what the counter is so it doesn't happen again - will go back an try to find those other 3 on film to see what we did - maybe we adjusted as that was pretty early so the other 3 times were probably after

Against Wake, he feels like they didn't have good run fits a few times, then didn't tackle well, or play leverage. Still allowed only 2.9 yards per carry

Dee Crayton - Wes said he picks things up fast, understands football and run fits and how the coverage aspect fits together. He said Crayton knows how to QB the defense and be loud and vocal and get guys lined up

Garrett Riley says the offense is too inconsistent. Good time to have a bye week and recalibrate and tighten up. How do they become consistent? "Stay the course."

On OL play, too many lapses. Good stretches and then followed by some bad stretches.

On the red zone issues, he wants 66.7 percent TD percentage (at 58 right now). He says they need to try and continue to improve on that.

He wants to get TE Jake Briningstool more involved down the field...he said there have been opportunities but the ball hasn't gone his way. He says Jake has really improved in blocking.

Not sure about the blocking comment. I would approve the idea of playing Jake at boundary receiver instead of Randall or Greene. Maybe platoon at boundary with Williams or Brown. Let one of the other TE’s take more snaps along the Oline.

agree on the blocking. I guess he would know as he has been staring at it for 5 months... I only notice it when it doesn't happen.... which is too often.

Not sure about the blocking...I'd be in favor of giving Ennis more snaps because the offense seems to run better when he's in there.

Garrett Riley with a telling statement - I ask him why the offense looks different than what he had at TCU, and he mentions personnel. Says they are what they are right now, but cutting mistakes and starting faster would allow them to "unhook the plow" a little bit.

I take it from that comment that he needs to get the talent that fits best with the offense he wants to run. I think we've got some guys coming in next year in the skill positions who can potentially give us a lift early on, if given the chance. Unfortunately, the OL is still going to be challenging but the guys coming back will at least have another year of experience under their belts and hopefully, we will see some year over year improvement. Same for Cade. He will be much better next year after getting through this year and learning from his mistakes.

How about ask Riley if there’s a difference between a “Clemson Offense” and a “Garret Riley” offense.

I would guess the kicking coach would say, "If the offense would score Touch Downs then you wouldn't be asking me these question! My guys sneak off during practice and eat taco's and burgers. We kick a few balls around and then someone expects us to actually perform live when all we do is practice in the shadows! Geez!"
