Week 5: Will We Come Alive?
« on: September 25, 2018, 01:37:43 PM »
It's Southern Miss week which should mean a final tune up before running the coming 5-game SEC gauntlet:
@ Mississippi State
Tennessee
@ Ole Miss
OFF
Texas A&M
@Georgia.

However, we need more than a tune up - we need a rebuilt engine (o-line) and we needs some faster tires (RBs) to get on track. Fixing the first should aid in fixing the other (unless the tires are as bad as it seems). Also need to get the driver (QB) to stop jerking all over the road. Of course, if the crew chief (HC) would get his head out of his ass it might help.

Auburn is a 30.5 favorite in this game. We might cover because the defense is a bunch of bad, knife-eating dudes so the Goldenshower Eagles shouldn't score much.

What do you all think? Does the car get fixed and back in the lead lap? Or do we get put in the wall and puss out?

I expect a 35-3, 38-10 type of game.

450 yards of total offense.

Sounds about right.

Most offensive improvement is likely to be fool's gold given the competition.

This will be from 42 screens. Thus solidifying the screen as our number one option!

I want to see Shivers on the speed sweep. Flash is fast, but does not have the same cut up the field ability that Shivers has. And Shivers is almost as fast.

Five statements of WISDOM
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity, by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friends, is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Agreed.  There's just nothing about this offense, from the O-line all the way down to play calling, that gives cause for even minimal chub.

With Stidham playing as bad as he is, and I'm sorry folks, he looks horrible, it's back to the same, ole thing for a Malzahn offense.  If we're running it well, we're pretty damn effective in every facet of the game.  If we're not, the offense is dead in the water.  Coming into this season, the obvious question was the O-line.  But, I was thinking if those concerns turned out to be warranted, we still have an experienced QB with a great arm and a stable of receivers that can do it all.  We should still be able to sling it around enough to win most games.  Not the case.

BTW, JS is 63 of 97.  65% 718 yards 3TD's and 2 INT's.  Not much production in the Whaddaya Want? TD!  What's That?  Touchdown! department.  But not bad numbers overall.  He just looks lost to me out there.  Like he can't pull the trigger.

Check out the above passing graphic that any 49 million dollar genius ought to be able to access for both defense and offense. Jeez they even have this for run games. Wouldn't surprise me if they even have combinations of both. :rolleyes: Might even aid anyone interested in making...halftime adjustments. Holy shit there's an idea.

It's not rocket surgery. And there are multiple variations of this available.

Let's see...have we run a jet sweep or a wheel route?  Why no!


Stidham completed 11 in a row this past Saturday and the "lost" part as you say is answering the criticism of holding the ball too long by RUNNING.
This porous offensive line is going to continue to be our undoing as long as GusChip keep calling these failing dive plays behind no real push.

*Also feel (among others) that Martin got the start against Arky almost as an appeasment.

Jmar wants us to use the pass (60/40) to set up the run until we can get a grasp of who, what play and/or what side is our strongest.

Should be playing to our strengths, not our weaknesses. We barely have receivers running patterns beyond linebackers. Spread the ball around, watch the run game improve.

Not to excuse anything because it’s all true but if I remember right approx this time last year we almost fell to Mercer and looked as bad as I’ve ever seen. Even the opener with Clemson was BAD. Stidham was horrid.

By the Aggie game til the end of season we looked like a steam roller. Things can change and I hope they do.

So you're saying that we can expect Gus to be making 14M a year next year?

What does it say about the powers that be at AU, that this was about the 5th time we got trolled by Arkansas?  Granted, it was more likely Jimmy Sexton, or whoever was repping Tuberville.  But we always seem to be scared of losing our corch to the Hawgs.  The next coach we hire better not have even driven through that state.

Correct. However, is anyone else tired of the fact that it takes this staff/team 4 or 5 games to get it together?

Fully expecting to see about 500 yards of offense, with 375-425 of that coming on the ground.  Gus will be giddy, saying "see, I told you we were close!" Nevermind the fact that they come in giving up 5 yards a carry...

I felt pretty good after the first two games, with the exception of Stidham really not looking very sharp.  But, I thought with his talent and our WR's, that would unfuck itself.  BTW, Washington is giving up less than 13 points a game through 4.  Pretty dang skippy no matter the competition. 

Looking back on LSU, I thought we did some good things against a really athletic defense, but went into a don't lose it mentality on offense (Coaching) and ultimately let the game get put in the referees' hands.  Still feeling okay about things and getting on that mid season roll.  Then, last Saturday happened.  What an offensive abortion that was.  The D was great.  3 points allowed against any team, much less an SEC club, is skippy in it's own right.  But, the longer that game went on, the more I wanted it to be over.  We got worse on offense with every possession. 

Better get to unfucking this weekend.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

I was tired of that about 4 years ago. I'm also tired of the fact that once a RB is found to be the "bell cow", we run him into an early retirement.
