Title: So....Duke Is Gone....
Post by: Snaggletiger on October 05, 2015, 10:29:50 PM
Yeah, I saw the thread.  Not what this is about.  So, we'll never see Duke catch another pass at AU.  And my prediction is we'll never see Carl Lawson play another down for the Tigers either.  I hope I'm wrong but I can totally see Lawson sitting it all out and taking the mindset that he'll just take his freakish physique and abilities into off season combines and private workouts and land a late second round....3rd round pick and cash in.  Fine!!!!

Does anyone suddenly see a scenario where Gus Malzahn says, "Nothing to lose anymore.  Balls to the wall.  Open the playbook.  Damn the consequences. Let's do some of that Gus Bus shit."

Tell Muschamp...all out...Rex Ryan...Seattle Seahawks...fuck with their heads....100 different formations/blitzes...turn it loose.

I for one, would get wood if that happened.  Look, this season is toast.  We have talent out the ass. Let it rip.  Let the chips fall where they may.

It's not going to happen.  I understand that.  But look, you're 3-2.  You've struggled like hell to get to that stellar record.  Your best defensive and offensive players are gone. But the silver lining is, your roster is overrun with 4 and 5 star players at every position.  Everyone is predicting you not to win an SEC game this year.....

Why not circle the wagons and tell the players and coaches...."Damn the consequences.  We about to shock the world."

No we aren't shocking anyone just bc we dump a prima donna. That was merely a symptom. The problems are executing up front on both sides of the ball. And with the announcement of an open competition at QB we are at the mercy of the two headed guru.
Losing Duke doesn't change the fact that we are getting pushed around.

Not sure if anyone has stated this, but TE Jalen Harris was involved in a horrible accident Sunday, luckily he's fine...I'm really not sure how, because the vehicle was in is smashed up very bad.

Every time we have a shitty or subpar year, we wonder why the coaches don't just throw it all out the window and become wild banshee play callers.

And it never happens. In fact, it seems like they more often become even more conservative than they usually are.

I think for one, coaches realize that their team sucks and the only real chance they have to winning more games is to protect the ball on offense and put the defense in a position to not give up too many big plays. This way we can take advantage of field position to get a field goal or a few touchdowns while the defense can wait for the opposition's offense to make a mistake. Further, it kills the clock keeping everyone rested.

Secondly, after seeing the ineptitude of our players in executing the simple plays, you really want to watch them try to do something complicated?

I guess I'm asking too much for our staff to have the handful of newbies up to speed w those so very familiar w the offensive system. Which begs the questions: Why can't we just recalibrate? Why do we need an overhaul? Again... we had the entire off season.

I don't know about the rest of the shit Snags spouted, but I would like to see us blitz more.  Look the way I see it (against Miss. State Dax was back there knitting a fucking sweater)  guys are getting open in the Zone all damn day, so IMO blitz a LB try to bring pressure and make the QB hurry. 

One of 3 things are going to happen.  1. he is going to complete the pass (which seeing our defense was a good chance anyways) 2. He's going to get sacked. 3. He is going to get flustered, incomplete pass or potential turnover. 

2 out of 3 of those are good things.

Like I said, it's not going to happen.  But all I'd really like to see is Gus/Rhett calling a game like they have total confidence in the plays they're calling and the players executing them.  Just run your offense the way you originally intended to run it. 

And blitz.  Yeah, blitz.

BLITZ?

You keep forgetting, other teams actually play with a TE. And the TE just steps behind the LB for a 20 yd gain. Because apparently the DBs ALL turn and run like hell in order to give that 20 yard bend but don't break cushion!

More than ever now, I see no reason why Gus Malzahn doesn't go balls to the wall.  We have 7 games left.  We will be the dog in every single game except Idaho.  Any reason not to get these guys together and say, "Let's blow shit up.?"  The talent is there, regardless if D'Dumbass Williams is there or not.

Run your offense as if you have a Heisman QB at the helm.

Tell your all-world DC to turn it loose.  Damn the consequences.  If he does that, I'm a Gus fan for life.  Win, lose or draw.  If he goes to Lexington and throws 10 passes....fuck him.

Not sure what we have to lose by doing it. We will win 1 game remaining NOT doing it - MAX.

But win minimum 1 game going balls out. Possibly more.

WOTS, Duke punched one of the backup offensive linemen, nearly breaking his jaw. Shon Coleman told Coach Grimes what happened, Coach told him to do something about it, so he stepped up, displayed his leadership and beat up Duke. This all happened on Monday, before Coach Malzahn dismissed Duke.
