The last time we were dealing with this problem, our defense bailed us out. I was pretty impressed with the way our defense played overall. The 2nd quarter was a nightmare, but Bama's offense scored nothing in the second half, and we held their two-headed monster RB to 110 yards. Mistakes will a

That was the difference between a freshman throwing the jumper and Tebow. He would have quickly discerned his receiver wasn't open and tried something else. Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -Original Message- From: Jerry Belloit Sender: gatortalk@googlegroups.com Date: Sun, 03

Scott and others, As you point out, we could have won this. If we score on the first drive, that may have give us more confidence and the lead. This may be the kind of butt-whipping that motivates the team for the rest of the year. It may also be the kind that crushes our morale. Unfortun

Helen and others, I am not going to pretend that I know what is in Urban Meyers' head. However I can guess. My guess that a successful jump pass there does two things: 1.It demoralizes Alabama and putts them on notice that we can even make Hollywood plays on them. 2. It mak

Not to beat a dead horse but as I see the offensive issues are two fold. First we don't seem to be using the personnel to their abilities. That is Demps on a dive play up the middle for 1 or 2 yards. That is not his strength. Second the offensive line was supposed to be much than it has

Agreed the OL has not played up to its hype. And that certainly could be attributed to Addazio's work load. With 4 returning starters, I thought the OL would play better than it has.I still believe moving Pouncey to center was a mistake. Randy Platt aka "PCGator" aka "The Armchair Qu

Not much I can argue about here. I actually think this is where the loss of Cam Newton, hurt us. He could have been the heir apparent after Tebow, with Burton in the wings. So far this year looks very much like 2006, with the coaching staff very unsettled about the style of offense we want to pl

The thing with the jump pass is that it absolutely requires the defense to believe the QB is a credible threat to score running up the middle. When Tebow took the ball and ran two steps toward the line, everyone had to move up to protect the goal because they knew he could carry six guys into the e

I don't think the play calling is that bad, but I do think the offensive line play has not been anywhere close to where it should be with the talent and experience we have. To me that is a better argument for taking play calling off of addazio's plate. The OL needs a full time coach. Anybody

I agree, Charlie. Meyer should stick with recruiting players who fit the style he wants to play. Being put into this role is certainly not doing Brantley any favors either. On Sun, Oct 3, 2010 at 1:12 PM, Charlie wrote: > *Randy, isn't the execution on the field a reflection of the coaching?

I dont' think the jump pass is stupid, but I do think that the person throwing it needs to know what to do if the intended receiver is not open. The inability to score when we're right on the goal line was the most disappointing thing to me in this game. If we'd punched it in a couple of those tim

Randy, isn't the execution on the field a reflection of the coaching? I think the same guy that coaches the line also is the OC.

I will concede you comments. But it would be helpful if Brantley threw the ball downfield when the play is called, rather than looking to dump it off to the back. Based on what I have seen from Brantley so far, Spurrier 's Fun N Gun would be problematic for Brantley. Randy Platt aka "PCGator" a
