'Hell, I'm sure GP and staff are critiquing it and aren't too happy '
no doubt, just like I'm critiquing GP and wondering why he wastes so much of his limited mental capacity on knowing just when is the exact moment in time to take the foot off the gas, yet this is still one of his big concerns during the game...
quote:
"I think sometimes when score easy early, you're a little bit concerned," Gary Pinkel said, "because there might be a sense of, 'Gosh, we're going to run away with this game.'
first of all Gary, you've never coached a true shut down defense in your life, when you do you might get concerned with scoring too early and too often, until then, maybe worry about some less imaginary concerns. After watching your team get burned over and over from the same base set you might want to be more concerned with either getting players adjusted or having them make plays, if you're lucky Vandy won't have a better offense than SDSU, but every other SEC team will.
I know you know what it feels like, but GOSH Gary, let yourself be just a little less concerned during the game about embarrassing the other teams coach and more concerned about being on the receiving end. It's not like a Stoops, Saban or even Richt will lose a moment of sleep beating you by 50+ points.
Never seen a coach obsess so needlessly over a thing less likely to happen than he does over blowing out another team "too soon".

Not sure why my comment got such a reaction.
Mauk's disgusting at times, that second 2td yesterday was filth, that pass was just outstanding, so much of what he does has the 'wow' factor.
I just think that over the next 3 years someone else is going to be able to offer the same type of ability while being better at the things Mauk isn't the best at. Mauk is Maverick, which is cool, but Iceman is the better bet because he's skilled and responsible.

It's still somewhat amazing that Mauk can hit those 40 yard plus passes almost effortlessly, but struggles to get it close enough to his big TE to get a hand on it at 10 yards out.
A point made in the opinion piece I posted that I hadn't really considered was how often James Franklin would sustain drives on 3rd down by running the ball -- Franklin was often our defacto "big back". Mauk's not built to run on a regular basis, so it only makes his apparent weakness on the short-to-intermediate routes more glaring.
Henson's going to have to partially re-invent how this offense gets things done, particularly in certain down and distance situations, and he's go a month to do it. So it should be interesting to see how things evolve.

A positive stat from the game...Mizzou ws 2/2 on 4th down conversions.

The fact that we couldn't build a big enough lead against a FCS opponent to make wholesale substitutions, should be a concern, and one of those subs should be the backup QB.

Is it possible his coaches are in his head about throwing a pick? Whatever the problem is they better get it the fuk worked out and pronto, had we played any of A&M, UGA or Auburn yesterday, we would have gotten our azz handed to us in a paper sack.
I think you would have seen a much different intensity level and focus if we were playing an SEC opponent. Is that right that they weren't excited to play the SDSU Jackrabbits? Prolly not, but after blowing their doors off in the first quarter they got lax, it happens.

Sad post from a poor excuse for a Tiger fan. Original poster.

Made me go back and re-read my posts. Not sure which one you're referring to. The fact we went 2/2 on 4th down?

Clearly we need to rotate thru all of our quarterbacks on a single game schedule, critique them and call them a piece of shite, and move on to the next. When we get to the bottom we can start over. If someone has a good game we can proclaim to the rant they are the next coming of JFF until they lose and we can call them pieces of shite and start the rotation again.
Should this fail to produce the SEC championship it so obviously should and we all so obviously deserve we well call for Pinkel's head.
Nobody knows how to fan like us

the interesting part is we should have gone for it at least two more times, and that wouldn't preclude having a reliable long kicker.
If you're gonna run a hi powered offense(or attempt to), part of that should be taking advantage of easily getting a few yards when you need them, when on your end of the field.
It's clear Pinkel would be much more comfortable running a Big 10 or bama, 3 yards at a time style offense, another thing evidenced by his "being scared of running away with it too fast" comment. A lot of defense and a slow, steady offense, in low scoring games is his comfort zone. He hasn't adjusted his mindset to the type of team he trys to build, at least on one side of the ball.
Mauks game is largely the opposite of what Pinkel wants to do, scoring quickly seems to upset GP who just wants to move very slow and steady while grinding down the clock.
If Maty keeps throwing the ball deep and scoring early, we might see Printz but not in the capacity we were expecting.

I don't like how Pinkel always says hes scared to death of the other team coming back during certain halftime interviews, it shows a weakness that you don't want in your coach and explains why we always come up short.

Tbtb, you have got to be the most negative person on the internet.
After rewatching the game I came away thinking Mauk's uneven performance can be easily fixed. He just needs to stay in the pocket and step up more instead of rolling out at the first sign of pressure.
Hard to think his great TD to interception ratio is a fluke at this point. Give SDST some credit. One of the best div2 teams.

In a power poll by 247 has Mizzou ranked #13 in SEC.

1. He doesn't say it every game.
2. When he does say it, it's respect for the other team and their capabilities.
3. Especially with young teams that get overconfident and let up (like we saw yesterday) he is sending a message.
4. "We always come up short." Are you fricking kidding me? Check the record. Pinkel has won more games than any Tiger coach in history and is second only to Dan Devine in winning percentage.
Devine last coached Mizzou in 1970, just to give you context.

have you seen our defense? he has a good reason to be concerned, making the idea that we are going to run away with the game even more mind boggling.
For those who think Ray is NFL bound at the end of the season you might want to note how many of SDSU's long runs started by going around his end. He still has serious issues with containment, just like last year.
The "it was a broken play" excuse on that first play TD run is one of the most horrendous excuses ever, and it's not like the ball skipped off a defenders helmet and into the WR's hands. That excuse is like saying "they didn't do what we expected, so we weren't ready", you would hope the coaching staff doesn't buy those kind of ridiculous excuses.

What runs? After the 75 yarder they only had 2 runs over 6 yards.
Posted on 9/1/14 at 2:35 pm to Jagd Tiger
I got no problem saying the defense blew it on that broken play. But if you are going to say that, you have to acknowledge that after that run the defense pretty much stifled a team that was known for their running game. I think the defense would have faired even better if their starting QB wasn't knocked out of the game. They clearly changed their play calling with the new QB and thankfully we were opportunistic at times.

He doesn't say he's actually scared, he says it in the context of we have some things we need to do better, we can't relax, just like Saban did at halftime yesterday against West Virginia.
