You want technical or you want someone to share your opinion. my problem is that if I give you an explanation, you call it an excuse and refuse to consider it.
You accept a 4 or 5 star recruiting ranking over our coaches opinion on who should be playing based on 3 or 4 games and declare we have a serious coaching problem, but have not held the players accountable. I am not saying you are wrong, I am just saying I not convinced. I am not sure Newton is a good example as compared to freshman, as compared to Brantley, okay I can go there, and my response would be Newton is a better player based on 4 games played. He may not be the better player by the time the season ends. So maybe the coaches are responsible in this case. Meaning they could have found a way to keep him on the squad if they really felt he would evolve into the better player. Ingrahm and Richardson compared to who Demps, Moody, Gilislee. Don't think you can compare because of the style of offense. Richardson had every opportunity to sign with UF but choose not to, why, I have no idea Which studs are you referring to Dubose, Dunkley, Gilislee. I'm sorry, I am not ready to hand over a starting position to a high school prima donna who happened to win a rating service beauty pageant. But in fairness maybe I am not understanding your position. Rather than compare players at other schools you tell me which Florida player where the coaching staff has missed on and I will try my best to explain why I think the coaches are correct. We can skip Thompson and Demps, we have done them. And Pouncey as well, since I think he should be at guard anyway. Now, I will tell you up front that I consider game experience to be a decided advantage. Which player do you feel should be ready to play, that the coaches have missed on I think we spent 4 games trying to figure out what the best way to win game 5 is. I think Foley cares, as long as the win/lose ration is sustained. Until it shows up in the win-loss column, Foley isn't going to say squat about player development.

That says - serious coaching problems. Why is the defense able to play - and now start - so many true freshmen? And have confidence in them? Granted defense is easier than offense - but we are comparing true freshmen on defense versus offensive guys that have been in the system for years. How are other teams - like Cam Newton at Auburn, Ingrahm and Richardson at Alabama, Lattimore at South Carolina - able to do it? Oliver - I am not going off on you - but on this topic - all of these excuses - for why players are not ready to play after several years in the system. Debose sat out all last year - and this year he doesn't know the plays? What the heck was he doing last year while sitting around rehabing? Why didn't they have some graduate assistant sitting there next to the hot tub quizzing him on the plays? There are serious problems in developing these studs - and all I've heard are excuses. I am not calling for firing the coaches - obviously they do some good things. But to not have these guys ready to play is inexcusable and speaks of a major problem. I don't know what the fix is - but then again I am not being paid $3 million (or whatever) to fix it. We just wasted four games teaching guys how to block, run routes, and snap the ball. Maybe we should go back to a JV team? That is what schools use to do to develop players so that once they hit the big time - they were ready. This is what I hope Foley is asking Urban Meyer.

"I want to say we were fifty-fifty run, pass on all those big drives we had. (We had) a lot of first down mixing (the run with) the drop back and the play action pass and we're going to move in that direction. We have to. Now that we have confidence in our receivers that's the direction we're gonna go." -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us <http://www.gatornet.us/> -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us
