Hill, Brown, and Riley all have great hands. It just blows my mind that we don't run more designed pass plays to those guys. Not screens that we telegraph every time we run it, but pass plays. Wheel routes, Texas routes, seams...plays where the entire concept is designed to clear space for the running back to catch the ball in space.

Watch any game on Sunday and they mitigate the pass rush by throwing the ball to the back, and it's not just check downs (though I would welcome that) it's getting one of your best athletes in space against a linebacker. It's rare to have 1 decent set of hands in a college running back room and we've got 3 that we seldom use. Maddening. I don't know how Grubb said with a straight face that the identity is to get playmakers the ball in space. His idea of space is putting it 40 yards downfield between the hash and the sideline and letting the guy running a deep over run underneath it.

College defenses, and NFL defenses for that matter do a bad job at covering running backs in the passing game. It's a cheat code for positive yards and big plays, and we just don't do it. If you can't or won't run it, then start throwing it to those guys in the intermediate area. That's how you get those safeties peeking where they shouldn't and throwing one over their head, which is all Grubb really wants to do. I would absolutely spam those guys with targets if I was calling plays and we were struggling to gain an inch at times.

S- This group has played incredibly this season. Cooley and Benefield are as good of a duo as there is. Spears got hurt but his replacement Jhase Thomas has been a bright spot on this defense.

CB- Pickett is as good as they come. a true eraser. Woodland is very good as well. They have not truly been tested this year as the pass rush doesn't make them cover for very long.

Just curious here because this seems pretty sunshiny...how did Ole Miss throw for 363 yards? Statistically that's really the only "explosive" offense y'all have seen. They couldn't run the ball at all against y'all and didn't really try to. It was evident what was coming and y'all couldn't really stop it. Are you that confident that they're just that good? No concerns it might be fools gold based on the opponents so far?

Nobody is intimidated by the Gump defense anymore.

It's been a while, honestly.

LSU scored 9 points in our last meeting.

Yep, I remember him getting flagged for it 15 years ago.

Kind of where I’m at. The dumb shite like body slamming a receiver and celebrating still gets under my skin, but I don’t expect anything to look easy or efficient for us.

I mean he could be, but that was a suicide prevention month thing

Do you? Tuten/Jacobs is a pretty solid backfield unless you're in an 8 team league.

I was the captain of the Price hype train, but that was under the premise that by the time Charb got healthy that Price's talent would have made him impossible to take carries from. Now he's essentially going to be starting from scratch at the same time Charb is coming back and Wilson has proven to be capable.

I'm holding Price in my IR spot and Charb on my bench to see if the situation sorts itself out in the next few weeks, but you would be overpaying for Price by offering Burden
