Its a hang over from the performance and lack of adjustments in the BCSCG. Add to that the sudden regression this year.[/quote] Let's forget about last year. Regarding what appears to be regresson this year, is it really regression, or can our problems on offense be boiled down to the following: 1) injuries to the OL, 2) an injury to our emerging #1 RB, 3) the loss of our best WR to the NFL, and 4) an inexperienced QB. In my mind, problem 1 impacts everything else, and until that can be dealt with, I'm afraid this offense will struggle. I have to agree with some others on the board have stated, that our offense right now seems better-suited for a running QB -- maybe we need a switch-up at QB, where we install some packages for Bolden or Randall.
There's no doubt it is a continuance of last year. The fan base was so frustrated that LSU, undefeated LSU couldn't even get past the 50. I was almost embarrased for the guys last year. Now we are seeing yet another stuttering offense. ... and we have all the pieces to be really great. Rocket arm, same backs, what was a good line before they all went down, and a still dominant defense. But there is no spirit at all. They are as dead and flat as can be. Ya just have to wonder what all went down in the locker room. What happened .... such that now these guys seem to have an attitude that they'd rather be playing somewhere else.
Understandable, I'm sure you know I did not mean that as criticism. I am also sure you were quite spunky, even as a 1 grader. Spoiled rotten, too. As for the two 5th grade boys talking about a HS coach instead of relishing the new tits their classmates are beginning to have, they must've been geeks. tirk and shane were popping bra straps at that age.
I don't know if its true or not. But something is missing. I mean .. OK ..ya have injuries on the Oline .. you would think that the next guy in line would be chomping at the bit to get in and make something happen. While some experience and execution may be missing, that "fire in the belly" shouldn't be. Someone mentioned Blue being out as our up and comming RB .. well Blue was hear last year, and it was mostly Ware, Ford and Hilliard that carried the load. So missing Blue shouldn't make that big of a difference. Like RR said .... regarding everyone dissing on JJ and JL ... yet here we have a guy who I recall some of the regulars here speaking as if he would be the second comming of Drew Brees .... now we have people dissing on Mett. I just can't help but wonder if some serious damage was done to the "team" last year with all the JJ vs JL controversy. I know a lot of peeps, including me didn't like the way CLM did JLee, who played pretty dang good football until Bama, only to be benched. Ya have to think that the same feelings that floated around the fan base also existed in the locker room. That kind of stuff doesn't just go away. I mean .. facebook blew up during the NC game with people wondering why CLM didn't put Lee in ... even old Hebert dressed CLM down in a news conference. ..... or maybe .. TM7 was the team. Some people seem to think so. I don't know .... but that "little something" that makes people play their best, make the extra effort, just doesn't seem to be there.
You most certainly don't understand how difficult it is fore 2 freshman and a 1st year Sophomore to be starting on the O'line. This isn't some video game where you just plug in a new player. There is a reason the O'line doesn't rotate like the D'lines of this league.
A wide receiver complaining about the offense, what a shocker, that's certainly never happened before.
