I agree with you about Emory. Even with the Clemson win, I’m not sold that he’s the answer right now against FSU.
With the identity they’ve wanted to establish with this team, although, some may not like it, Jacurri is your best option moving forward. It’s clear as day that Mario wants to be physical and run the ball behind this OLine which is pretty **** good. If that’s the case, Jacurri adds the running element where C2K (Cut-to-Keep) defenders cannot just crash down on the RB. If they did, he can pull the ball and gash them. If they respect the pull, that’s one less person the RB has to make miss or not get tackled by the shoe lace. With Jacurri you get to play 11-on-11.
In the passing game with him, you give him simple reads, same that Tyler has today but even simplify it more and tag RPOs to the game plan to make it very simplistic. His running threat alone will force teams to play man and give 1-v-1 match ups outside and at that point his inaccuracy wouldn’t be too different than Tyler throwing picks. So I rather have a chance to make a deep ball play or PI versus someone throwing INTs but cannot contribute worth a da*n to the run game.
Repping the heck out of simple looks and giving some bit of tempo will make it almost too easy with Jacurri. With tempo defenses either play their base stuff, or they send blitzes. You can rep that easily in practice with hot reads and steal this game. Jacurri also allows for much more creativity, if Mario will allow it.
