Improvement Really ?

Sadler, I am agreeing with you. I could and I am sure everyone could predict it 80% of the time, but I am hoping most could predict it against most folks.

I was not really comparing o line's in my last post. I am not sure what about that compared lines. My point is that I think we spend to much time trying to be unpredictable that we take ourselves away from what we do well, or making it a point to establish what we do well. I think we need to establish an identity instead of worrying about being unpredictable.

GO DAWGS

This is a great post. I think most of us agree that bobo must gogo, in order to get to that next level.

I think it goes a little deeper than that. It is philosophical.

How many times do we have the chance to bury a team on 4th and less than a yeard, and we kick a FG?? That is philosophy.

Someone posted above about the 2 yard fade in the endzone. Crappy call when you have an IC in the backfield. Bobo outhinks inferior competition. The problem is, he loses that thinking contest. That is an aptitude problem.

We were a couple plays from ending it early against Ole Miss AND Miss State, and we could not do it; we haven't done that in 8 years. If we were able to step on someone's throats, we would be able to play more subs late in the game, building more depth.

The way i see it, in order to get over the hump, we need knew blood for an OC. And if CMR won't fire Bobo, then he needs to go.

AD5, you said that bama ran the ball well, and could pretty much do it at will. I then said that was becuase they had a good line, and we don't. I did not say you were comparing the lines. I was saying that by you saying Bama was predictable and implied that we should be too, not creative, but we don't have that luxury because we don't have the line to establish that identity.
Either you aren't getting my point, or you're just trying to argue your point too much that you aren't seeing what I'm saying. Either way, I'd say it's about time to agree to disagree on this one, as we do most of our discussions.

I didn't want to start a new thread but does it appear to anyone else that Samuel seems to always be about to fall down. its like he has no balance in open field or inside runs.

My take on Boo (Malcome) is he needs to see some serious playing time to see what is really there. Coastal Carolina would have been a good time. Some players just can't practice at the same intensity as they do in games. It is not lazy or attitude it's more of a psychological thing. I was that way when I played sports.

The words rumblin, bumblin, stumblin come to mind when he runs.

That's cause he's a linebacker trying to play running back!
