The House of Blue

This is worse than the Bill Curry days...and I remember them very well.

I think the D will have a good year considering who we have to play. We just will not stand up to the majority of teams left on the schedule.

Being optimistic is good. . .but at some point it turns to foolishness. . .

I don't think things are that bad, but they are bad. Things can get that bad if changes aren't made. Sanders is a proven OC, everyone loves Minter right now. So where does that leave us other then positional coaches, Hello Joker.

IMO, the defense is pretty solid. We lack the d line play to be great, and our secondary has awful ball skills. But aside from that, I'd say our defense is good enough to keep us in almost any game we play. That's more than I can say about defenses of the past.

The problem is the defense is getting hosed by out offense. The two go hand in hand. The defense needs to play well and give the offense the ball in good positions. The offense needs to win T.O.P. And let the defense rest.

Tonight, I'm not sure what final T.O.P was, but surely we didn't win. And a good chunk of ours came on our first drive. You have to run the ball and you have to be able to force your opponent to work with a long field. We did neither and it was quite frankly embarrassing. Average starting field position and T.O.P IMO will tell the story of the game.

This sucked. Plain a dn simple. Maybe I'm a moron, actually I am a moron, but I'm not down on our players. Morgan played well. Made good throws and decisions for the most part. Coshik looked good and Clemons ran hard. Fields stepped up as well as the tight ends. Larod is becoming consistent out wide. But to have a successful offense we have to put ourselves in position to win. And to me, the problem is play calling.

Too many times we line up and run the obvious; first down is a qb keeper on a bootleg (never works) or a iso run that results in a yard or two. And now we are behind the sticks and have made the defensive play call easy. It's a given now that we are going to throw the ball, so here comes the passrush. We take a sack or throw it away and are in the same position. Blah blah blah. You all know and saw what I'm speaking of.

My point is I feel like we have talented players but we have moronic and inept coaches. I'm a huge joker fan, but he is losing me and others because he settles for where we are and what we have. He won't rock the boat and make the tough decisions. I'm not calling for his job, but positives need to happen going forward because we are regressing and it's not going to get easier.

Sorry for the long rant. And I apologize for typos and such as I'm on my phone. I truly hope this gets righted as I can't stand the feeling I have of being a fan that roots for the laughing stock of the sec. But it seems we are headed there.
