My problem with Enos

That’s is silly. Are you saying we don’t have the personnel to run the RPO or the personnel to run it like a Bama. If you are saying the 1st it makes no sense. If your saying the second, I agree. Either way, the offense we do run is predicated on a solid OL play and a QB who can scan and process the field quickly. We have neither so it doesn’t work.

We hit probably 4-5 big plays from RPO on Sat, only to follow it with Coker T to stall the drive

Which is not what he said when he was hired. He supposedly wanted an offense that caters to SoFla athletes. A faster more innovative system. Another lie he fed the fans

Brevin goes off, Mallory goes off (when he catches the ball) Wiggins went off, Pope went off...

DJ Dallas has been on fire..

We have a QB that's a step slow sometimes and doesn't use his bottom half well. He had JT wide open last gam for a TD and he threw it underneath. If the OL wasn't so bad we'd be 4-0.

So 21 points per game. Might as well have left Richt as OC.

That's pushing it. This offense is exactly as bad, but somehow manages to be slightly easier to watch. Or maybe it's just that I haven't had to watch it as much.
 
Four games into the season and apparently Enos can't figure out that most of what he is trying to do with the offense
is not working. Diaz flushed the entire offensive staff from last year and this ******* is the best he could come up with ???
 
All that preseason talk about adding wrinkles, motions, shifts and multiple looks. All we have is an egg to show for it. CMU game plan looked a lot like what Mork used to run.

CMU should have been put away by early in the 2nd quarter with Perry getting at least 2 quarters of reps at QB. Mork looks like an offensive genius compared to Enos.

It's likely because Williams is better than Rosier.

that's pretty much the difference. we dont have to watch a QB air mail balls anymore. imagine if Jarren wasnt as good as he currently is, the heat on enos would be insane right now

Funny thing is, even Larry Coker himself finally adjusted his offense with Berlin when he saw it wasn't working. Berlin in the shotgun was the answer to our offensive problems.

That's almost exactly it. I'm just trying to find anything positive, it's going to be a long season, and all our complaining won't change anything.

It's definitely a positive. He has to potential to be great. He's the first QB in a long time that looks like he could play at the highest levels. That just makes it all that much more frustrating to see him under center waiting for a season ending injury.
 
My main issue with Enos is that some of the concepts he wants to run look great on a whiteboard, but we aren't executing them well enough to trot them out in a game yet. He's not recognizing that, and shelving those plays until they're ready for primetime like he should be. Instead, he's running a little of everything, and we aren't executing it all well enough. What he needs to do is recognize what we're doing best, and who his best personnel is...and stick to those things....and blend in the other stuff when it's ready. Two things were working with great success on Saturday: running Deejay downhill, and finding the TE's. We should have ran Deejay like crazy, and continued to throw to Mallory/Jordan until they showed they could stop either one or both. Instead, we got cute w/too much playaction and slower developing plays at that. I don't understand why after the first drive, he didn't come back with almost exactly the same script as the first drive to see what adjustments (if any) CMU had made.

As an offensive playcaller, Enos seems like he tries to be the smartest guy in the room at all times when keeping it simple would work better. Take the situation when we were backed up inside our own 15 against CMU...why run playaction on 3rd down that close to your own endzone? Take a straight dropback, or line up in the gun. Give Jarren a chance to get the ball out on 3rd and long. One thing that CMU in particular was doing was defending the sticks on 3rd and long. They weren't dropping super-deep. They were trying to keep us from getting the first down...and giving us opportunities to throw the deep ball over their heads...and we never tried to take advantage. How many deep shots did we take? 1 or 2, if that? That's far from enough.

Recognize that running slow developing traps/counter treys in the run game wasn't working as well, and start giving Deejay/Harris the ball on running plays where they can hit the holes quickly. CMU's DL was being fast/aggressive - use that against them. In the running game in particular, we've seen multiple times how our OLs pulling are getting in the way of our RBs. Either coach the OLs to move their asses better so they don't gum up the works for the RBs, or teach your RBs to press the hole longer and wait on the OLs to get their block set up. OR EVEN BETTER - it's ******* CMU. Go hat on a hat and let Deejay/Harris hit the holes hard on quicker design run plays.

The ultimate thing that I'm upset with Enos and really the whole staff about is that I'm not seeing week-to-week improvement. I'm seeing us find new ways to make the same mistakes. Penalties, lack of execution, missed assignments, etc. That's the sign of a team that doesn't have any football IQ being taught to them in practice. Some guys have natural awareness (see Jaquan Johnson), and don't need to be taught that you can break up a pass w/o riding the receiver with your off-hand, drawing a PI flag...for example. I'm seeing WRs not running routes past the sticks on 3rd down. I'm seeing OL playing with sloppy, passive techniques far too often. The staff should be correcting these things when they occur in practice or in the game...and it doesn't look like that's happening, because we're seeing regression instead of progression week-to-week.
