Kahleil Jackson [Update: Post #76]

Honestly, other than the UK and USF games where AR melted down, i’ve been fairly pleased with the offense. We don’t have that “next level” #1 type WR. Maybe we need to do better with the RB’s and TE’s rather than only get them dump downs in the flat for zero gain. But the OL and running game has been markedly stepped up and AR has gotten back on track. This offense is about what I expected heading into the season, after those two brain fart games for AR I’m just happy our offense is solid. Not great, but solid. Some things in the passing game need to be cleaned up (WR’s routed crowding each other’s space, timing routes, TE/RB involvement), but with the running game setting up nicely for the next several years at least you feel things are in the right direction.

The D on the other hand is an abject disaster right now. There’s no getting around it. Need to recruit like hell and revisit the X’s and O’s. Maybe the players just aren’t there to run whatever scheme they are going for, but just seems like even if the personnel isn’t great, it has to be an X’s and O’s failure to be so inept on 3rd downs.

 

And he played well!

 

Spurrier isn’t working with our qb’s.

 

You never make that statement about your team

 

Agree with the sentiment of everyone regarding his behavior. However, 35 points should be enough to win you most games. The passing game O is not the problem. Begins and ends with defense and it's either the soft 10 yards off the WR scheme or we don't have the players to run what the coaches want.

 

I wouldn't call Raymond soft if I saw him. Unless I was hungry for a knuckle sandwich.

A decent D would make our O much better.

 

Someone was saying that middle finger and f this team was for LSU. Idk

 

The coverage is soft not C. Raymond. He helped LSU with their DBU status and I was hopeful that would translate into enhancing ours. Both with getting some 5 star talent (Patrick Peterson, T. Matheiu etc.). Maybe our talent at the position is not what he had at LSU.

 

Dollar short and a day late, since it was out there for the whole world to see.

 

He needs some help from the Spurrs.

 

My point is Raymond would not be playing soft unless necessary, due to personnel.

 

Have you looked at the incoming commitments . . . and who else Florida is a finalist for? He's recruiting very highly rated DBs to Florida for sure.

 

Why is it assumed to be the playcall to be soft zone? Most of the problem lies with the dbs being slow to read the routes coming into their zone and being in position to make a play as they watch the qb. Maybe its fatigue or whatever, but our dbs tend to get into a state of watching instead of reacting.

 

Maybe the statement was about lsu?

 

That isn’t ARs issue. He either doesn’t trust his reads or is late processing. He routinely pats the ball and reloads, a sure sign of hesitancy. This is also why he muscles the 100mph fastball he is late on the read.

BN has done about all he can to build confidence starting out with stationary targets (curl routes) for AR to hit and progressing to deeper single receiver route like the one to open the LSU game. We need AR to find the intermediate routes and anticipate the open spaces in the coverage.

 

Excellent and very mature. Accept responsibility, explain it was directed at LSU, apologize and move on.

 

F-this team.

F-that team.

 

UF PR to the rescue, but it worked on me.

 

They have templates for every occasion.
