I agree with Demps and Rainey...but James - IMHO, he doesn't do that well running from a classic set running back...or he does way lot better as a slot receiver than a running back or even running those reverses.

[gatortalk] Re: Monday morning procrastination
My thought is they play Demps and Rainey because they have the ability to break the big gain, IF they can get to and through the hole quickly enough. This actually helps dispel the myth that Urban and Co. are happy with long boring drives that eat up the clock. They would be happier if Demps could take one of these dive plays and go 60 yards. If they were really interested in 12-15 play drives, they would use Moody more. As I say this, I don't have anything against Demps and Rainey, I just think we are utilizing them in the wrong way. It is okay to run them between the tackles occasionally to keep the defense honest, but it shouldn't be their staple.

[gatortalk] Re: Monday morning procrastination
Good points ... is this conservative play calling because Adazio is our new offensive coordinator and OL coach? If Gonzales (WR coach) were our OC - would we see a lot more passes? If we were mixing the run and pass more - I would feel more comfortable. I would feel that we were more unpredictable. Our OL is great, and probably better than most other DLs. My concern is - (1) injuries for our OL are starting to mount and (2) can our OL blow holes in a great defense like Alabama? Demps, Rainey, and Jamesare great one on one with DBs - I am still not convinced that they can run through taklesat the line of scrimmage. If the OL blows huge holes and gets them past the LBers - then great. Otherwise it is usually lost yardage. Moody, Chris Scott, Gillislee - I think could break most of the tackles. But we rarely see Moody and never see the other two except mop up duty.

The Center is allowed to move his head as long as he isn't simulating the snap. The refs allowed Pouncey to snap his head to the left for the entire first half and then called the penalty on the second play of the second half (while letting another defensive encroachment penalty slide on the 1st down). The refs were cowed by Less. And regardless what the announcers said, this didn't slow our O-line down because Pouncey simply changed his head movement to up and down instead of sideways. - Don't like the stomping of the logo at all. We have derided SOW and Scum for years for these antics, let us not do that. I get that we gather at midfield and the jumping is not so much a taunt but youthful exuberance, but we should gather in front of our fans or at the 30. It just looks bad to do it at fifty. - Red zone play calling is atrocious. I know we shouldn't criticize after a win, yes we have a top 10 offense, blah, blah, blah. When we get to the red zone, we shut it down, it is almost like watching an NFL game. I don't know offhand what our red zone percentage is this year versus last, but I bet it is a lot lower in terms of TDs scored. Yes, we are missing Harvin (or is it Harvey) and Murphy, but they weren't our primary red zone targets. - Does anyone else feel that Tebow is throwing worse this year than he ever has? His delivery hasn't changed and that is fine, it is what it is. While every now and then he throws a nice tight spiral, it seems that many of the balls he throws, especially the deep throws come out wobbling. Could he still have shoulder issues? - Feels great to be 5-0. Ugaly lost and that is always good. If Kitten had to win an SEC game, no better way than to blow out Ugaly! This basically gives us a two game cushion for the SECEwith 5 to go. Not a bad position to be in. - Homecoming will be a great game.

The one (and only, in my opinion) advantage of being ranked pre-season number one is that you DON'T have to go for style points or run-up the score. You just have to win, period. You also don't have to hope for someone else to lose.

Where are you getting that stat? I don't buy it. Yes, Woody Hayes loved the 3 yards and a cloud of dust style of football. That is not the type of football that will continue to attract recruits to the spread option though. And when you run the ball 3 things can happen and two of them are bad (Run for a gain, Tackled for a loss, Fumble), so that doesn't make much sense, especially when you have a QB that does not have a propensity towards throwing INTs.

The replay looked like Coop was running the fly pattern and TT threw the out. Coop looked open because the DB had already broken on the throw. My guess is Coop read one thing TT read another.

From: gatortalk@googlegroups.com [mailto:gatort...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Steve McKibben Sent: Monday, October 12, 2009 12:44 PM To: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Subject: [gatortalk] Re: Monday morning procrastination Disclaimer (1) - A lot of this may sound like apologist reasoning in support of the coaches. Nothing new here - those of you that have been on the list long enough may remember that I was classified as belong to the pollyannas during the dark years :) Disclaimer (2) - It may seem that I like to pick on Keith a lot. Not really, for some reason his comments often motivate me to add mine. Those being said: is this conservative play calling because Adazio is our new offensive coordinator and OL coach? If Gonzales (WR coach) were our OC - would we see a lot more passes? I doubt it - Urbam has input, and final approval on all plays that are called. If we were mixing the run and pass more - I would feel more comfortable. I would feel that we were more unpredictable. Coach Meyer, in his post game press conference said that he had hoped to be more balanced by this point in the season. I read a post on a message board this morning that I'm going to borrow from heavily here (conceptually anyway), as I agreed with a lot of the points the poster made (as to why we haven't seen more out of our playbook). First two games =cupcake city. No reason to play anything but vanilla. Against CSU not only did we substitute early and deeply we only ran two sets on defense and maybe four plays on offense. Troy was much the same, only we opened up the defense a little more so that the players could practice some of the schemes live. Tennessee's offense didn't scare us too much (although they did run the ball, especially in the first half, with more success than I thought they'd have). Their defense basically dared us to run as they were set up to defend against the deep ball/big plays. Meyer is no 90's era Spurrier - who often stubbornly tried to throw the ball downfield rather than take what the defense was giving up. As long as we could run the ball and Tennessee could not hit big plays, it made sense to shorten the game and let the Vols have their moral victory. For one quarter in Kentucky we saw what this team is capable of. I can't help but think that Meyer's friendship with Rich Brooks kept him from exercising the full offense even more. Even then we had a flu-ravaged team and our primary speed receiver, Deonte thompson, missed his second consecutive game with a strained hamstring. Fast forward to LSU. Deonte is back and healthy, but we've had two weeks of uncertainty as to whether or not Tebow would be able to play. He did, but missed valuable practice time (as well as personal conditioning) and once he was cleared to practice he was splitting reps with Brantley because there was no guarantee that he'd be cleared to play in the game. So we face an LSU defense who's strength is their back seven (if you weren't muting Danielson you'd be painfully aware of that), our timing between the QB and receivers is a little rusty, they can't stop our run game, and most importantly - they weren't a threat to score much against our defense. So, once again, there were compelling reasons not to go wide open on attack. I think we may see a different story this coming weekend. Arkansas has the best offense we'll have seen this year. Our defense will get a true test. They haven't been very good on defense save the first half against Auburn on Saturday. Our playmakers are healthy and practicing. If we are conserative on offense then I may have to accept the fact that we're either not that dynamic, or are just truly afraid to take chances. Our OL is great, and probably better than most other DLs. My concern is - (1) injuries for our OL are starting to mount and (2) can our OL blow holes in a great defense like Alabama? 1 - Seriously? Since the season began we have lost one OL to injury for the season - Patchan. Everybody plays with dinged OL to some extent - that is, IMO, an overblown concern. 2-Possibly, but maybe not. That is of course the main concern with us being too one dimensional. But statistically, we have the most efficient (not the most prolific) passing offense in the country, so when we pick our spots, we're pretty successful. Demps, Rainey, and James are great one on one with DBs - I am still not convinced that they can run through takles at the line of scrimmage. If the OL blows huge holes and gets them past the LBers - then great. Otherwise it is usually lost yardage. Go back and look at how many times we ran the dive play on Saturday night with Demps and Rainey. Count how many plays went for more than five yards and how many went for a loss. I don't know the numbers, but from my recollection I'd bet
