Offensive line cannot run block. At all.
We do pass block well.
Pull hedlunds scholarship. I knew he would miss both. Our coach does not know when to go on 4th down. There was 2 times it was the obvious decision because we needed to push the issue. He deferred. Its weaknesses, and no faith in our offense. Our offense needs to get some confidence. Right now we have none. I'm not sure where the leadership is.
Austin is worse. In fact this guy isn't getting drafted at this rate. Sometimes our receivers didn't get open. Sometimes Austin doesn't see the guy running down the seam with an open window.
Our WR's are soft and get mugged. Tons of drops. On the plays they do get open down field Austin can't hit them.
Deon Stewart should not be starting. At all. Nance is our best wr right now.
Our offense is bad. Straight up. I thought enos was a good OC. We ran so fricking many 2 wr route plays, and these guys can't get open like drew and keon.
Our defense is actually much better. We got tired at the end because of all of the 3 and outs. This loss is on the offense. If we had even last year's offense we would have won.
I think the end of Bert has begun tonight. Its over. I saw a 6-6 team today. Maybe worse with how we keep getting injured on defense.

I'm not sure that I can see 6-6 even, from here.
If we can't run the ball, we are screwed. Totally.

That is a solid write up and I tend to agree with you.
Hell our punter kicks things... let him try a few FGs. He can't do worse can he?

I'm reserving this space to be "that guy":

I'd like to also point out that our line is soft as shite because they spent all off season pass blocking. The truth is that Austin and the WR's are not the strength of this team. It is the running backs. So guess what? We focused on getting better at the wrong thing. Now the part of the offense we were banking on winning the game for us is the weakness.

Agreed.
I predicted 6-6 and a loss to TCU, but I wasn't prepared for this level of ineptitude.
Austin is broken. If we can't get our run game going, 6-6 will be a pipe dream.

Why? Austin fricking didn't get touched except for the first 3rd down. Any other time he got touched he scrambled and tried to lower his shoulder. Austin had a clean pocket all day. Ya he had to step up here and there but that comes with the offense.

WRs are bad.
-Lazy, Rounded off pass routes
-Play slow trying to figure out where to go.
-Not physical and get knocked off their routes.
-Give up on routes and don't scramble to get open.
Thats the thing. Last years guys scrambled and found the soft spots when the play wasn't there. Often these guys just give up on it.
Nobody is coming back and finding a soft spot when AA begins to scramble.

WR's are awful for sure. I knew playing so many would be a problem. None of them know what to do. Nance needs to start yesterday.

Deon doesn't look like he belongs out there. I thought Jordan Jones was supposed to be some burner we haven't seen the likes of at Arkansas. What Happened to Hammond being some elusive speedster

Lamichael pettway is not fricking 6'2 220. He is fricking 6'1 200. Dude is not some big bodied imposing WR. The only one on our team is hurt in Martin. TCU had a legit 6'2 230lb guy.

I predicted 6-6 but I think we'll be lucky to win 4 games. Ole Miss might be the only SEC win we get.

Pettway is the epitome of a guy that looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane.

we aren't goinig to win an sec game. i dont' see it. i really don't.

If we don't win any sec games then this is the last year for bert. Period. I wanted this to work out. I really did, but I just don't see it.
I actually think we have talent. Its being squandered on poor coaching.
What the frick happened with enos being a great OC????? When he got here he was great. We fricking have ran the same plays for 3 years now, and some of them aren't creative at all.

If we go 3-9, 0-8 in the SEC, Bert is done.

I'm worried he's caught the curse of complacency. Bert just sort of floats along, rousing up now and then to yell about something, before slipping back into a comfortable slumber. It's infected the team and coaching staff at this point.

there ain't shite you can call when you can't get open or run block lol what the frick was he supposed to do. i can't blame enos plus his track recorfd is too good to put this at on his plate.
if you put me in the game at WR verses bama you can call wahtever the frick you want lol i'm still not getting open
