Are you disagreeing with the fact that a shitty run game will hurt Tennessee this year?


Now would I like to have a Darren McFadden or an Adrian Peterson wearing orange? Yes, yes I would like that very much.

I'm saying that there is no logical reason to believe that a pass-happy offense can't dominate the SEC. Simply looking to Bama, noting that they rely on the run, and then concluding that their type of offense is the only variety of offense that can succeed in the SEC is just dumber than shite.


Well it's rarely happened. What happene to those pass happy Oklahoma teams , once they faced a sec team?

Because that's what the NFL WANTS to happen. If talking heads went around screaming the idea of power running instead of passing more people would do it. The NFL is catered to whatever most talking heads want at that time.


Did you actually believe those words as you were typing them?

Please pretty please tell me you didn't. Otherwise I won't be able to respond to you further on account of my rigid "don't converse with retards" policy.

This.
For a solid decade the NFL has implemented rules that have made the NFL a very pass happy league.

Well it is true that pass happy offenses are more exciting to watch, which is what the talking heads want

The same thing that happened to a run-happy Oregon team.

Are you implying that the NFL isn't a competitive league? That the teams are doing something other than trying to win games?

Wait! You dont think the NFL has tried to make the league a more pass happy league? You don't think the NFL has implement rules geared toward throwing the ball?

Please elaborate on the rules that have been implemented and how they represent an appreciable departure from the rules that we have in the college game.

Thanks in advance.

If this is the key to a dominant sec team then why do most people keep saying we are dead in the water

That's different. Oregon isn't a power run team, which is what you need. It's why Onterio isn't AU's main back. You can't compete against the SEC like that. You've gotta have a power run game. Running no huddle out of the gun just won't work, not anymore. You can't get to the edge against the SEC in most cases. You have to outphysical your opponent on the inside and set up PA and tire them out so you can try and get the edge against second teamers. The thing is, teams like Bama/LSU are so deep that they can send in their back ups, who have probably already rotated in a lot at that point in the game, and still secure the edge.

Your sarcasm is super cute, but you were implying that the NFL was making strategic play-calling decisions on the basis of something other than the goal of winning football games.

I'm simply pointing out that what you wrote is nonsense.

Because Vandy was in your offensive backfield on almost every play. What do think Sam Montg and Mingo will do?

No, it's really just the culture that surrounds football. It's steadily moved towards pass happy offenses.

Don't even explain it to him. It's common knowledge that the NFL has tried to become more pass happy. You might not be familiar with this dude. He is on the iq level of BHam Dore.
