Oof.

This isn’t about injuries/Catalon in my opinion. It’s about the D line

Everyone will blame it on the D based on the numbers while discounting the fact that the offense did not take a step forward with far more experience and with the exception of losing Burks, more total talent than we had last year.

---

You seeing all that and still blaming the offense, means you had your mind made up and nothing was going to change it.

Also why we will always have mediocrity, because 3/4 of the fan base thinks just like you, but injuries, offense didn’t stay on field long enough, I hate briars… etc

I guess you can count me in that group. Defense gave up 16 to aTm, 21 to Liberty, and I think less than that to LSU. That’s 3 of our 6 losses. If the offense had their shite together, we are sitting at 9-3 right now.

A bunch of words typed yet you fail to show me where I’m wrong.

Did the offense take a step forward at all this season? The answer is no.

I mentioned the step back that the defense took in my very next post, yet you failed to even acknowledge it.

Who has their mind made up again?

well the playcalling didn’t beat us against Texas A&M. We lost that game due to our star player fumbling on first and goal and giving up a 98 yard scoop and score. The other two games I’ll give you. One where our starting qb didn’t practice all week and played hurt and the other he didn’t play at all.

It was a fricking 14 point swing. It was a giant momentum killer. Go look at the winning percentage odds before and after that play

He may not have been great but he wasn’t THE reason we lost. It gets old saying the same thing, but it’s just facts. He’s not the best play caller in the country, but he is a top 15/20 OC. Objectively people from outside the Arkansas fan base will tell you that. The biggest issue our offense had, and in plagued us all season, was shitty shitty offensive line play, with a ton of veterans coming back. The fact we can’t just punch it in against mizzou or lsu is disheartening. I promise you, as dumb as the tight end sneak was, briles still wouldn’t have called it if he thought he could’ve called a simple inside zone to rocket or kj and scored. By the end of the season he had completely lost any faith in our line getting any semblance of a push. That’s not on the play caller or his scheme. That falls squarely on the offensive line coaches shoulders.

Who should we target as a new OC? You think traylor would come back? I’m being serious I just don’t even see any better OCs we could go after

Not sure who we could get that’s better. Briles just has to be better.

Other than the dumbass Knox sneak, I don’t remember many super head scratching play calls after the A&M game when KJ was playing, so maybe he’s learning.

Another knock is not having a backup qb that’s even remotely close to being rdy to play.

I honestly believe both coordinators are capable if they can start recruiting better players.
