We think this due to offensive struggles but our players were fine. We had many many NFL guys on offense at all positions. Many of those guys outperformed on Sunday vs Saturday
Agree with you the CBN runs an ancient offensive style, particularly passing. It’s bad and not QB friendly I’m not sure how you can judge AR on that. Many NFL QBs would struggle with this O
Just for a little added abuse I watched the game highlights. I was actually impressed by what worked. Although, one of the most glaring and obvious deficiencies is our tackling. OMG do we suck tackling. Just abysmal. We need a tackling specialist on staff. I mean someone that teaches that darn stuff. Wrap up, drive them to the ground. This distance arm stuff is laughable. Some one mentioned yesterday it was like watching the Keystone Cops videos. Unfortunately, it is. I just don't know what it is but why the heck Whitemore isn't playing and catching passes over the middle is beyond me. Was he hitting on coaches wives? I mean...good Lord- it's a sin-he was our go to dude. Anyway, some really good stuff and some bad... Let hope for a nice away win next week at A&M! Go Gators.
That is just simply wrong. I looked up our classes on 247 and there are only a handful of offensive recruits that played in the NFL. In fact I may have missed a couple, but I only counted five that made the NFL, and two of those, Jeff Driskel and Jacoby Brissett, both QBs, didn't finish their careers under Muschamp. They both transfered out, and did better elsewhere than they did at UF.
What got him canned was the inability to beat FL enough. That Faton Bauta game was clearly the final straw.
And its tough to be a pocket passer when there is immediate pressure right up the gut. Our OL was dominated in pass protection on Sat.
This is an interesting observation that I hadn't really though of. There really seems to be a shift in sentiment about the head coach on this board after losing to one of our two arch-rivals (despite the fact that they are one of the top teams in the country). I really hope he understands that he better pull out all the stops to try to beat FSU and not show up with a ho-hum game-plan and then try to catch up. If our talent was good enough to beat FSU last year, its good enough this year, so that can't be an excuse. It doesn't really matter what we do the rest of the this year.....lose both games to your hated arch-rivals and its going to get really ugly fan sentiment-wise.
They all say his passing attack is 1980s though Zone running games are a bit more advanced due to the optionality. And then his blocking and misdirection schemes are pretty good. It’s the limited routes and lack of coverage beaters that hurts the passing game
Looking at it from a statistics point only. This is the strange part for a coach that stresses analytics. Tons of data sets on coverage beaters and the importance of pre snap reads. How many do we implement, vs not in playbook vs AR and or receivers not recognizing it. Layers of an onion
Those wild and panicked throws, and the bizarre ESPN highlight play only to do nothing the next dozen possessions is baffling. Then there's the whole "is he injured....is he not" debate to deal with. He's had so many close call injuries, I'm fearing the big one will happen at any time now.
Yes, Muschamp failed, but the point of my comment was in response to your comment that Muschamp recruited well on offense and that there were as you put it, "Many many offensive players at all positions that played in the NFL", and that wasn't accurate.
It ain’t rocket science. We got dominated on both lines of scrimmage. You can blame play calling or poor tackling all you want, but that’s just a symptom of the play up front.
The facts suggest that AR is not physically suited to the rigors of SEC football. I hate it for him, and us, but he just can't seem to get healthy and play with reckless abandon.
