No its not JL's inconsistant play, although that does bother me. he is still green and SHOULD improve. Remember I said Russel should improve faster too. Ok I'm Impatient, or they are slow whatever.
No its not the inconsistant play of the defense. We have an awesome Defensive front, secondary might be a little bit down due to graduates, but the cupboard isnt bare.
No its not the Play calling and coaching, although at times I question Crowtons calls and his thinking. he sometimes sets Lee up for failure IMHO. but hey who am I?
Les seems to be slow to change the QB at times and let him rest.... or just let him think. To Les' credit he did handle this better agaisnt Troy.
The Co DC 's what are they doing? We look lost at times on defense. is it coaching or just poor playing? which is it?
None of the above......... is what bothers me most. Although they all do bother me right or wrong.
What bothers me most is our seeminly inability to compete in some games.
I think we have good attitude, since we stuck around to come back agaisnt Troy.
Here is what I mean. I KNOW we can compete with Georgia, FLorida and BAMA, hell we almost beat Bama. but we cant compete agaisnt Troy for one half? I know hats off to Troy, but if the same two teams run out in the second half? what is UP? I know they didnt give up and thats good. BUT is Troy THAT Good or did we just stink up the first half with mistakes?
yes they stacked the box, but even so, we have an awesome Front O line. How could we run well agaisnt Bama? or decent anyway.
My biggest issue with this team is COnsistancy. Early I said inability to compete ok that is wrong. WE HAVE the ability we just dont play with consistancy.
I'll take a win over a loss any day but, its hard to stomach when you know they are better.
I mean a loss to a good Bama team is one thing. Even a loss by a TD or 10 points in a hard fought game where we competed the
WHOLE game.
But when we get blown out or we come from behind so far with a TEAM you KNOW you can compete with?
If we just played with some sort of consistancy we'd be where Bama is today.
Take away ANY one of our problem areas and there are a few and we'd be near the top.
Take away any of these:
1. Lee's pick sixes
2. inconsistant secondary play
3. poor tackling ( at times ) ( see Bama game , arm tackling )
4. Poor play calling... poor clock management, coaching in Gen.
All of the things above wouldnt bother me so much if they were BAD all the time. You could point and say, thats why. BUT there are times when all of the above looked as good as anyone in the SEC. :insane:
is this due to youth? coaching? AND NO i am not calling for Mile's head. I realize no one is perfect but sheesh already some of this is elementary!
All I know is it's frustrating. :cuss:
ok my rant is over. :grin:
yes I still support the Tigers as always. :geaux:
