Yeah that #1 offense is a problem.

Yes Dawson takes a bit to adjust and some of the calls are questionable at bad times but he has had the number 1 offense in 2/3 years. The fact we just the defense to not be terrible should let you know where the issue is

The lack of offensive explosiveness from play calling has always bothered me from Dawson. With Ward, it was all scramble drill explosiveness. Last year's team was not explosive at all. This year, its only if Toney or Barkate break a WR screen. The only deep work we have is a go route to Jacobs and a out-and-up to Lofton that we dust off every 3 games

Defense - at least DBs played more aggressive this week? LBs are a liability

We have other ways to get explosives (Barkate and Mallory on screens). Mensah seems constantly under duress for deep patterns to develop. He misfired a couple of times with Jacobs but I think that’s more getting timing down.

Actually thought the defense played OK. It helps when you play an *** QB, for sure. But if we give up 350 yards and basically 17 “real” points a game, we’re winning a natty.

Sheppard is the literal best back in America, imo.

We stopped them in 4th down that is one of the most ticky-tacky calls I have seen lately.

Those run calls for Mensah especially on that 2 pt conversion are idiotic imo. He’s looking to get him decapitated.
 
Am I the only one who thinks this is more an issue of execution and effort? I mean Damon Wilson is getting Stone walled by TE's. Chase Smith abandons Sheppard to chase a TE drag that has zero chance of picking up a first down on 3rd and 15. Players obviously lining up offsides or not having the discipline to keep contain when they are the edge setting player.

Yes, some of the the blitzes Heatherman brings from Orlando drives me crazy, but some of the players aren't playing like they want it. IMO.

So his track record is one 6th year player? He hasn’t done much. It’s Bain a can’t miss local blue chip?

Bain was his
Messidor was someone that most this board thought would transfer
Lightfoot will be drafted and has turned into a good DE for being a skinny dude

2 first rounders in his first 4 years of coaching isn’t the worse.

Oh yea and he can recruit.

A regular Larry Johnson
 
Only way a big coach on offense arriving is 1. one guy leaves for something bigger, which I doubt or 2. someone hangs it up.

I'll go with 2 (Mirabal). Which, in that case, an aforementioned name in this thread suddenly becomes realistic. @TheATLCane

Can someone explain to me the last Duke TD on Lucas that was called back? Was he expecting help in the middle?

Idaf what he was expecting. That effort like we’re playing two hand touch was unacceptable and have no idea how that happens.

I've also never seen Mario be this chill about such a blatant lack of effort.

Like, he was completely calm.

Why wouldn’t they want it? Those kids should have (and have been imo) weeded out.

OC’s are taking advantage of Heatherman’s tendencies and the kids are being blamed because of it.

I see a lack of confidence. Not a lack of effort.

100%, the defense played a decent game. It’s the fact that we gave up that garbage touchdown is why everybody is in their feelings now. It was garbage time, I could give two ***** about it. Defense played good today against an NFL running back that might be the best in the country.
 
Dbs have been horrific. The amount of talent in the room there’s no reason they are this bad. Players haven’t made plays (looking at you Fitz) and our play calls and schemes have did them no favors either.

only 56yrs old though. there are enough titles going around these days (ex. running game coordinator) that you could bring in Stoutland without Mirabel hanging it up
