I'll make no bones about it ... I hate that bubble screen. It is a pick 6 waiting to happen .. and I've never seen it really lead to anything big. On a positive note .. Miles took the lack of pass protection and other problems seriously. I agree with him .. it's not Mett ...it's everyone else that is making our pass game miserable. He's aware, and knows they have to improve.
What? That was a pretty big play Saturday night. That was the biggest play of the game for us offensively. That said, I agree it's a pick 6 scare.
My thoughts exactly. The environment was about as hostile as I have seen in while. Auburn was pumped. We won. Correct some mistakes and we make a good run.
I was thinking about Florida this morning and I don't think there is a coach in the nation that would want the schedule they are looking at for the rest of the year. Leaving the SECCG out of this scenario, based on rankings today they are going to have to play the #6, #5, #3, and #2 teams in the nation.
I would like to see us incorporate more pro type screens to our backs in space and let them do their thing. This would at least get the DL back peddling and give Mett some time to set up on the down field stuff. What worried me most about AU and some of the lesser teams we played this year is that the front 4 seem to be getting good pressure by themselves with out help from the LB. That keeps everyone covered and makes it hard to get the ball out. Also more TE production would help too.
This game scares me a little, if UF plays to stop our run (which even if they do, I'm not sure they can) I sure hope our offensive line gets things worked out along with our receivers.......Mett can pass all day long, but if he doesn't have time and our receivers don't catch the ball what's the point. Florida is on the rise at the moment and I'd say the swamp will be as pumped as the AU crowd if not more considering Florida's desire to "matter" again and they get the chance to with LSU coming to town.......This game will be a huge turning point for our entire season IMO.
Exactly. If a hostile environment was a factor last Saturday, we are F'ed. The Swamp is always louder and more hostile than AU. Kyle might be more hostile than UF...
I simply think it comes down to a lack of intensity and focus in the week leading up to the game. When you hear how great you are you tend to believe the hype and relax a bit, this team nor any team no matter how talented can afford to do that, they have to prepare week in and week out like their fixing to play the toughest game of their career. Hopefully last week was the wake up call they needed to realize that! With all that being said I simply like the way the match up against florida personell wise. We have as much or more speed than they do, better defense, better offense, we just have to execute and play well and grow up on the road.
