Legit Question on Gameplan

[calismyhero]

Why did we choose not to play to our strengths last night. Who cares that last year was a shootout. We have players this year that can handle a shootout. But to not even utilize them in favor of the plow horse philosophy? The game was over after their 1st TD. And don’t even get me started on our kicking game. Chance Poore kicks off. Would it be a sin to let him try some or all of the PAT’s and field goals? What would it hurt? Ruffalo ain’t making them anyways. Stoops so gd stubborn to change anything even when he knows it’s not working. Goddamn loser mentality. We can win the MAC playing that way but we will continue to be a bottom feeder in the SEC til we adapt and that includes the damn Quaker and his resistance to the NIL of today. Last night was an embarrassing display the like we haven’t seen since the Joker Days. Humiliating to go out on the field knowing you have no chance to compete when you run out incompetent kicker, run an incompetent offense that scored 6 points on a defense ranked 106th. You find your opponents’ weak spots and exploit them. We didn’t even try to exploit Tennessee’s last night. GD loser mentality plain and simple.

Heard on the post game show that there were nfl scouts tweeting some negative things about our play calling.

That game plan has stoops written all over it. He even said so on the gameday interview where he said we are who we are. That meant it was back to run on first and second down and hope your QB could make plays on third. That isn't going to cut it especially when we have such a better playbook at our disposal.

The other side to it is the learning curve coming from the NFL. In the NFL they see either 3-4 or 4-3 with most all the complexity being in coverage but mostly just winning 1 on 1 matchups. In the sec it's a different front and scheme every week which is pretty crazy when you think about it.

I loved coen. I posted just after his first game that we'd be lucky to keep him more than one year. That said, he didn't produce that much more despite having more talent and a weaker schedule. He was just really charismatic and a giant leap up from Terry Wilson days. He didn't really figure it out till the end of the season.

We'll be fine. We need continuity rolling to next year so it won't be starting over on another offensive learning curve

I’ll be interested to watch Vans breakdown. On the post game show they said Jager Burton was benched during the game for his poor play.

I think Stoops game plan was… don’t lose by 40. And it worked!

 

[Cefiro]

Stoops loves to run on first and second down, then hope for the best on third and long.

Jager was skating by on name alone for a while imo. He and Cox both. Cox transition to center hasn't been nearly as good as anyone thought. Those two have really been the weakest links on the OL. I know pff said otherwise but I really think Jager was the issue in the first game that wohlabough took heat for

Poore missed the game winning FG against FL his freshman year from 35ish yards. CMS hasn’t trusted him since.

Hell he can kickoff from the 35 and send it out of the end zone. I totally get he’s kicking off a tee but geez at some point you have to try something new. Ruffalo has had low trajectory on all of his field goals now it has migrated over to his PAT’s. Cannot survive with a decent kicking game. There’s no confidence whatsoever

Also said so post game...is what it is till it ain't

After down 4 touchdowns stoopid gave up.

Well gee my wife who litterally had to be explained what a TD even is, thinks scangs play calling sucks.

I wasn’t knocking Poore or saying he should not replace Ruff. I was just pointing out that I thought CMS wrote him off as FG Kicker after he missed the FG against FL.

Yes that’s what I was thinking

Our philosophy is to play on our heals on both sides of the ball.

 

[calismyhero]

A flawed philosophy for sure. I prefer the Kirby Smart method. Line up against them sling it around the field and at the end of the game you hope your side has more points than their side. Do what you have to do. You don’t live on College Gameday the morning of abd proclaimed “we are what we are” then go out and get your collective ass handed to you

Cats averaging 18 ppg in 5 SEC games. Not gonna get it done.

Yeah, noticed several times he was chasing the defender into the backfield like he was trying to tackle him...very poor play from JB.

Yes, I guess we can chalk that decision up to CMS being able to adjust and make a change...I'd like to see what Poore can do now after 3 years.

 

[Johnfarrel]

I know it's not a popular opinion but the game plan was keeping them in the game in the first half. They were driving for a tying touchdown when the receiver dropped a pass that hit him in the hands. I was in the student section end zone and had a bird's eye view view of that drop. Another interception led to a Tennessee punt that landed on the two with it still a two possession game. The failure to move the ball to run out the clock and the muffed long snap in the final seconds led to a bad kick that set up the score that made it 27-6 at the half. Down by 3 scores at the start of second half any game plan you may have had is out the window.

Georgia plays the same pro style offense we do and they set up the pass with the run. The difference is they have much more talent than we do and an offense that can actually block a play consistently
