All offseason I’ve been banging on the Dan Enos is a genius drum. I thought without a doubt the program finally brought in a man that would play to our strengths, skillfully hide our deficiencies, and be a man that has an intricate understanding of what makes our offense tick and be able to masterfully design a game plan.
All that seemed to be coming into fruition in the first half. The first drive was the type of drive that this fan base has been clamoring for for over 3 years. And despite our struggles in the next few drives, they were completely understandable given the field position we were in and the penalties that understandably come from a shook OL and a slow to adapt QB. ****, he even managed to complete a 90 yard drive to end the first half that really cemented my faith in him. But then the second half came.
A second half which included:
- No designed plays at all for JT (touched the ball once in the second half, two times in total)
- Two Jet Sweeps, the recipient on both being KJ Osborne (is he even the second fastest WR we have?)
- No 12 personnel
- Zero help schematically for our clearly overmatched Tackles
- Insistence on PA and PA rollouts despite the Gators getting into the backfield in 0.2 seconds and having zero respect for our run
- Tate Martell inexplicably lined up as our 3rd receiver for at least 50% of our snaps the last 3 drives
- Forcing the issue badly to have Tate lined up in the backfield. His designed plays for Tate were never going to work and yet he was desperate to stick with it.
- Clearly has no understanding of who our best 4 receivers are. Massive rotations at the position, the only constant was KJ. JT was being pulled every other play, and we saw little of Hightower or Pope.
Those first 4 points were things that as a fan base we were completely expecting all offseason and yet we saw none of it. The rest of the bullet points, save for the last, were things that left me utterly dumbfounded. If you had 100 OC’s calling that game yesterday I think we had the one OC that would have done those things. As for the last bullet point, there has to be something more to it, but for now, Enos doesn’t deserve the benefit of the doubt and I think there’s something fundamentally wrong with his understanding and management of the WRs. (Unless the WR coach is the one behind the rotations.)
The Game of Thrones Prince that was Promised ended up being a false prophecy. Right now, I couldn’t care less that it was the first game (the self inflicted errors were that shocking), we may have ourselves a false prophet. Enos has to go back to the drawing board and rethink absolutely everything. Yesterday wasn’t good enough.
