Why are we cramming it up the gut when we don't have the line or the running back to do this? We should use this from time to time when the other team doesn't expect it. What I saw on Saturday was about 100 plays (thanks Vandy for committing stupid penalties) inside the 5. Why are we not running options to the outside and passing if there is an opening. Wilkins seems good on the outside run and so does Kelly.

Freeze has gotten progressively worse at punching it in in the redzone since 2012. I think teams know what he likes to do and that's why we see all the gimmick packages on the goal line. Hopefully we get this sorted out by CK10 getting better at the short throws.

I think that Freeze has still been trying out new things to a) see what works and b) still put out game film for other teams.

I think as we get deeper into SEC play that he will quit experimenting and stick with what works.

When we have that many plays, I would like us to see if we can get Treadwell in one-one-one jump ball, naked bootleg w/ Swag, and qb under center quick dive.

I think that our interior O line is shot right now and we can't get a push up on the goaline against big fronts. That is the safest play and least likely to push you back 3 yards. Freeze keeps trying in case we can score without having to risk a negative play with a pass or going wide. I'm fine with it on 1st down but you have to get sometime of QB boot or a jet sweep or something after you get stuffed for nothing.

We have been pretty good at the redzone this year. Have to look at all the games not just Vandy.

STOP PUTTING BUCHANAN IN.

Leave Kelly in so that the defense respects the throw and QB keep, quit the gimmick crap. I am totally cool with RK in a package with Kelly. Fake the handoff to RK, give it to Wilkins or Walton on a sweep or keep it.

Seriously this.

Every single week I become more and more confident that Hugh is the second worse in game coach behind Butch.

Dude has no clue what he's doing at times.

If you thought he called a bad game against Alabama I have nothing to say to you.

You're right he did call a pretty good game against Bama.

Can't put the batted balls at the line on him can you? He's gotta teach Chad to pump fake or do something differently. That has been killing us.

But if you think because he called one good last week and that makes him a good in game ball coach then I have nothing to say to you.

Yeah, that was kinda funny. After he got the ball knocked out of his hands he "took off" about 6 inches off the ground and landed a foot later about three yards shy of the line of scrimmage. WTF?!!!

When Buchanan is in, for sure. That is why you leave Kelly in to threaten pass or QB keep. I honestly see no reason to leave Buchanan in

Red zone offense problems can be solved by a guy named BOB. Call him when needed...he can help.

Also, we have scored at a pretty good clip to date...but remember BOB....he is there to help.

What I don't understand is the people say he is fearful we may lose yards running it outside. So the answer is to keep sunning at the weakest part of the line hoping they get a push that never comes? Why not run to the left at say Cooper, Patterson, and Conyers...you know the best part of our OL..smh

And by God if there is another 4th and a inch and we lineup in shotgun formation I'm going to break my TV. Qb sneak isn't that hard to run.

Yeah, that only works when the player can actually jump. Liggins can clear about a half inch when he jumps.

Second that. I think they do well on the perimeter runs. Fake it to Rob or Liggins and hand it off or run it outside, behind Fahn.

And why are we not throwing some jump balls to Quon either off a PA or a boot. Run a drag route with Engram or Quincy for the bootleg.
