bain did it against FSU or UF i think.I agree with you about playing tight. I said it two games ago. That loss at Louisville was the trigger. The coaches have known the margin of error was slim and I really think they relaxed a bit after getting through the OOC games. I blame the Louisville loss on arrogance; they didn't bother to look at the game the way Brohm did. They got behind early and had to put it on Beck. Fair or not, that's what happened. Yes, he had alot of interceptions; not all of those were on him. That loss caused everyone's sphincter to tighten up.
The players look tight. They don't look like they are having any fun . Stress makes for mistakes. I also think the offense has stopped believing in the game plan. They are the ones on the field - Beck has been handcuffed. It's obvious they are all frustrated. The defense literally quit after the offense failed to score in OT. I'm sure that was born of frustration, too.
It's put up or shup up time for Mario. Lighten up and let the offense play. IDK if Dawson is capable of making the offense what the fan base would like but he has shown over the years he can dial up a few plays every game. It's time to do it. Make the offense fun again.
And something has to be done about the OL and the pre snap penalties. This has NEVER been an issue before this season. It's not even just one player - it's across the board. You have to start having some sort of repercussions for this. Sit the guy a series or two. Who cares at this point. You cannot continue to give away 40+ yards every game.
IDK if the staff doesn't trust Beck or if it's also distrust of the WR room. I know they talk a good show about "feeling good about the room". Yet the lack of substitution from that room says something different. That muffed catch that turned into an interception was not Carson's fault. It was squarely on JoJo. It seemed to shut down the down field passing game .....
I've heard Pete say a few times there are defensive players who are refusing to sub off the field. Who? Why? Bain?
they dont trust Beck.
mario wants to roll with his identity. read the cribby thread on this weeks ago
