I get the angst about the OC and there are reasons to be upset. But if you can’t score on three plays from inside the one it’s not the calls


This has been the story all year.

I really don't think Henson is the root of the problem. I have seen too many deep passes set up by the play calling only to watch our stone hand receivers drop them. We apparently only have 1 running back capable of playing, and he was hurt for more than half the season. And if your guards can't even get in front of someone shooting the inside gap, wow.



So that leads to the question. Who is to blame for recruiting too many stiffs?

Or is the question, what coach is choosing to put these stiffs on the field and not play the guys behind them?

If the second string O-line and receivers are really so bad they can't beat out the jokers who have dragged the offense down all year, we are in for a long season next year on offense.

Final point - I do agree that there are serious, reasonable questions about Ricker. The offensive line has only gone in one direction since he got here.

Agree.....I was a bit concerned with how conservative our game plan was but if you execute ANY play it will be successful.

When Pendelton and Adams came in we moved the ball better and scored our only TD. There's no way Abbington is worse than Witter, who not only goes down at the slightest touch but also fumbles way too much. It's all on Henson and the other offensive coaches for continuing to play these guys because they've been here longer. The "best player plays" is a myth at Mizzou and has been for some time. It's the reason we played Matt White when he was clearly terrible.

I don't hate Henson. I just want him gone.

Please name ONE good thing about the 2015 Mizzou offense? Just ONE.

Maybe TE???
The ball gets hiked???
Maty being gone???

The whole thing is a big cluster.

We lost our OL coach.

Henson & Ricker take over the OL coaching. OL goes straight to shite. That combined with terrible offensive schemes (or really no apparent scheme)and it adds up to the only place he would be employed is under Pinkel.

Teams have bad offenses but you can still see what they are trying to accomplish. Are they a power rushing team, spread, HUNH? What is Mizzou's offensive identity?

We stick out an elbow then turn around and follow the defense back as they make the sack.

This is a very crucial part of the offense.
