Title: Onterio McCalleb
Post by: Townhallsavoy on October 25, 2009, 12:18:20 AM
Anyone watch him tonight? 

First few games of the year, I saw him run like a gazelle down the field.  He was electrifying.  He had blazing speed and he was going to be the spark that would pull us out of games.

Then he faded away for a while. 

Now he's back.  I saw a timid stick figure desperately looking for a safe haven on the sidelines.  I saw a 12 year old girl step out of the way of the mean blitzing LSU linebacker that nearly took the ball right out of Todd's slow hand. 

What the fuck has happened to our team?  Something isn't connecting.

Mario Fannin had 6 carries for an average of 9.3 a carry? Not giving him the ball 30 times a game=FAIL

Can someone get Dyer on a plane to Auburn.......NOW!
Can someone please tell the coaches that Tate and Fannin are still money makers.

Dyer can't help this team. That would mean Malzhan get his head out of his ass to give the play makers the ball. Why Burns has 10 times more touches than Fanin is beyond me. The wildcat sucks ass...

Bingo.  The last few games, they've been running the Mildcat in inexplicable situations.  First and 10...2nd and 21..3rd and 26.  There's no strategy behind it whatsoever.  And when they run it first and 10 and the defense invariably stuffs it for a 2 yard loss...in comes Toad to try and get it all back.

I do agree. Malzahn needs, in a bad way, give the ball to Fannin and Tate 75% if the time. Yes, we must have a QB that can throw the ball down field. None of this is happening right now.

Fannin played QB in HS.  He can't be any worse than Todd.

I'm kidding.

Sort of.

You've GOT to figure he's good enough for a better wildcat QB right now.  I'm thinking he's more of an inside threat than Kodi.

the thing that I noticed last night was Kodi's hesitation. Instead of hitting the designated gap before it closes, he stops at the line and looks to bounce it outside or just runs into the backs of our O-linemen.

Don't forget that Fannin lathers his gloves in butter before games.  He'll put the ball on the ground if you give him a chance to. 

Also, he dances too much to be the main wildcat guy.  I like Fannin, but he's not the answer.

The answer was running all over the field at the beginning of the year.  I guess he's worn out from catching too many squirrels.
