Re: [gatortalk] I wonder...
Oh, I haven't even touched on my defensive take yet... while adequate, it hasn't provided what we are used to or expect. Austin is running a pro style D which has a lot of movement around the LOS. The problem wih that with the Gators is that we don't have studs across the board that make that work. There has to be credible threat, speed, and production from the two down lineman as well as all the ends and LBs standing up trying to create confusion. I don't see that working with us without much more time in the system to learn it. Again, a lot of reading and relying on others to do and be where they belong. Sent from Yahoo!

After that last TD by Lattimore, who has 207 yards rushing, we have them where we want them; they MUST kick off to us!

As I watch Coach Meyer on the sideline, he looks like he can't believe what he is seeing... like he doesn't get why the team can't handle the simplest things -- like know who to block, for example. So, I wonder: does he really know this team? Did all the months off from January through August, combined with delegating so much of his coaching duties, distance him from his players? I think the answer is "yes." I think that by stepping back from micromanaging, he lost his "feel" for the team - who he can count on to perform, who needs what kind of coaching, etc. Also, he's dealing with new coaches. What I see, in the sideline shots of Coach Meyer, is someone who can't believe what he's seeing AND doesn't know what the hell he can do to cure it.
