Thre 3 tight end set needs to be thrown in the trash can. Field is way too condensed and we're not nearly close enough to being a smashmouth football team to make it work.

I know that Hartley sits right beside Bobo and is in his ear, but it's wishful thinking and that shite's not even close to working.

At 6'1" and a slow release, I don't think Gunner is going to be an effective pocket passer against talented defenses so I would like to see more rollouts with the option to run, pass or pitch out to trailing running backs.
Stetson Bennett was very good at doing this in Monken's offense.

Rolling out takes half the field away to pass. Bennett did some roll outs and scrambles, but he made a ton of passes from the pocket.

I’m ok pulling the string when he is that wide open vs overthrowing. Yes, in stride is best, but I get it.

BC that was one of our big problems last year. Deep balls either off target, under thrown, and/ or mostly dropped. I just want to see some nice deep balls completed while we are fricking around playing Marshall and Austin Peay. Sheesh

If you haven't figured it out for PB the Dawgs are perfection, yesterday, today and tomorrow. Facts to the contrary are false....all of them. Any criticism or debate will result in rank denigration.

I wanna see the team stop using so many rotations on offense and actually play the best guys. Stop trying to make Dillon Bell a gadget guy. Find more ways to get Branch the ball - he's by far the most explosive weapon on the team. Find more ways to run the ball with Dwight Phillips. That dude has an it factor about him. Nate Frazier is a good back - will do fine - same with Chauncy Bowens - But Phillips just looks different with the ball in his hands. With that said, It was Marshall - Good opportunity to look at all of the guys and go from there. Hopefully Phillips and Branch become mainstays and feature because they are our best chance at having a good offense with explosive plays.

I understand the reasoning behind the rotation, but vehemently disagree with it at RB. RB by committee makes as much sense as QB by committee. Pick your best back and play him. A good back will only get better as the game continues. Spell him as necessary, but your best RB should be on the field as much as possible.

A takeaway. I guess the blocked punt counts for something.

I thought the defense played well for the first game of the season. DL was solid and passing pressure made for some hurried throws. DBs covered well and will get better after watching film.
The offense was good, but not very good. OL blocking was good and opened some holes for the RBs. Kirby likely wanted to work on fundamentals in this game and probably the next game too. The real teams will probably see some different schemes. Same for the DL.
The offense slowed considerably late in the 2nd quarter, as it seems to do every game, but Gunnar looked good passing and his running will give teams fits if they try to stack the box.
Z. Branch looked fast and that will cause lots of double teams and free up other receivers.
Z Branch at safety made some good tackles. 7 unassisted.
Our backup punter was very good.

Rotating RBs yesterday was to give coaches a chance to see the potential of each. 4 RBs averaged over 4 ypc. 3 averaged 3 or less ypc. Guess who we will see more of next week?
In a game rotating will be more strategic so that 2nd half will have fresh legs for every RB.

The lack of an OL push stood out to me. Hard to really gage anything due to the opponent.

Sorry. I don’t waste time attempting to reason someone from a conclusion they used no reasoning to arrive at.

For the record I didn’t address the deep ball issue: GD did, and he answered your question: completions.

This has to be a manifestation of a pathology. Ask someone else to answer a question on a position they didn’t assert. I’m out.

Griffindawg said not enough deep ball was his “only gripe”.

I asked him “why did they not meet your standards for deep balls and what are they?”

In reading your responses, it appears you have trouble following discussions. Discussion boards might not be your thing. It’s ok, not everyone can. There are a number of social medias that allow you to express your feelings unchallenged. Those would be more suited for you.

What I did see was Jahzare Jackson rotating with the Oline. I guess he did what he was required to do for in-house discipline.

I need to rewatch the game but would like to to see a more crisp passing game. I like Gunner’s running ability but don’t want that being a featured piece of the offense like we saw Saturday but available as an escape or used to keep the defense honest.

Gunner is tough and it worked well against Marshall but that isn’t going to work as well against SEC opponents.
