Where's all the NEGATIVE NANCYS????

Do you think that the guys that have played and coached football since they were little boys can't see the problems.

Seeing the problems and coming up with plans to over come the problems is the difference between what we do and they do.

Could the cure be harder to find than pointing at the problem??

Lets all chill and watch this team beat Bama!!!

Going to Bama and can't wait!!!!:tigereye:

 

Threads like these are just as bad as the world is coming to an end threads. It would be nice to come here on Sunday morning and see a board full of football discussions instead of a bunch of little girls pulling each others hair and calling each other names.

 

I think you could nitpick a few negatives from last night if you really wanted too, but the pure shock of the change in offensive gameplan is enough possitive to make you forget about them.

For the first time this year I saw an oline that looked like they cared if thier QB got kllled or not. I also saw an offense that didn't look like it was designed for a 1985 big ten game.

We still gotta find a way to run the football between the tackles, but I'm happy with the changes, crossing my fingers that they don't forget what a difference they made for the remainder of the season.

We can work on the running game next week.

 

The 3 step drops helped the OL tremendously, so did just calling the damn play and running it instead of having them stare at the sideline for half an hour. There were definitely some positive changes made.

 

that game sure as sh*t made me cease from complaining about this season.

 

They're quiet cause they're happy. Miles did a lot of what protestors havebeen screaming for. Shep getting involved, no sideline distraction to throw off the rhythm, shortened drop for quicker passes, etc.

This must be a pre-emptive strike though since I'd remembered you being pretty hard on the coach/team too so I went pull these to remind you. They say the first hen to cackle laid the egg. lmao

 

I agree. Gotta give the coaches a lot of the credit here for sucking up their pride and making some changes. THe gameplan was completely different, without being completely different. lol

The quick curls to Toliver were brilliant. Easy passes, good gaines, great to keep the chains moving.

 

Very positive game in many respects. I would be very happy if they can fix the running game blocking problems for the rest of the season. If they are able to do that, I would feel good about their chances against Bama.

I find it amazing that they seemed to have opened up the play book and tried using a lot of the weapons on hand. Jefferson seemed to be less handcuffed which is a welcoming change; of course, he played very well and had more confidence throwing the longer balls.

The verdict is still out as do whether they can handle the tougher defenses like Bama's. I think they need to come up with a good gameplan mixing things up real well. Things certainly looked better after yesterday's game with room for improvement. No more conservative or play not to lose play calling!

The defense looks like it is continually heading in the right direction..:thumb:

 

I might be taken as negative, but let me clarify my self, I post about good looking girls applying for Offensive Co. position, and Im still not sold on our offensive game plan ,but last night they did open it up more and Shep did get reps. I hope Im not seen as a " Negative Nancy" , the defense ( well stats say it all ) Love my Tigers, but some offense play calls just confuse me:geaux::geaux::geaux:
