Remember when

3 games in and already predictions on what Mario will do the rest of year, year 2, year 5 and year 10.

You're right that it's Mario's philosophy and we have to live with it. I don't think it's what we should be doing but some minor tweaks could go a long way while keeping Mario's philosophy largely the same. TVD made a living on the RPO slants last year. Incorporate a few of those each game. Put Rooster in the slot every now and again and run the bubble screen to him. Go with tempo a few series a game to catch the D off guard. The RZ O needs a complete overhaul though
We should have gone tempo because they were short DBs. That should have been obvious.
 
Remember when golden was here and we blamed the defense on dno but it was basically what golden wanted
Same thing with manny
We blamed defense on baker but it was manny all along
Same thing with gattis
It’s clear based on his previous years at Oregon
This is what Mario wants
We’re gonna have to get used to this and just wait until he’s amassed enough talent to just out talent everyone
That’s basically what he saw he when he was at Miami, his teams when he was a player was out talenting everyone not really out scheming them
When he was under butch he saw great player assessment and development
That’s what he saw when he was at bama
He was there before saban decided to adapt
And that’s basically his system
His way
Which is to be fundamentally sound and be physically better than the opponent
So it doesn’t matter if he fires gattis
He’ll just hire enos 3.0
**** if Ponca becomes oc
We’ll be calling him the Hispanic enos

Been trying to tell people this since the day we hired him. Mario, Kirby & Harbaugh are all one in the same except Mario & Kirby are better recruiters. Mario will get there just like Kirby once he's assembled a talented roster. Just gonna take some time.

He'll adjust. He has the resources. The guy wants to win here desperately. He made no excuses last night.

What is amazing is we are projected as an 8 to 9 win team. We lost to an 8 win team in must win game for them in front of 107k and people are losing their minds. We all knew there would be growing pains. There is also a discover process to see what our players can and cannot do during live games.

Saban and Alabama still run the rock a lot, the only difference is that when they take shots, the receivers are talented enough to 1)Get open and 2)CATCH THE BALL. Saban isn't running some crazy air raid, the big difference between what Bama was running 10 years ago and now is that they aren't lining up in the I anymore, and they use significantly more formations. That's the big difference, he's also gotten better at attracting difference making passers. TVD isn't the athlete Bryce Young is, which means you won't have nearly as many wow plays created with his legs..

That's likely what Mario is trying to do, build up the roster with talent, and have the ability to break teams down with a balanced, physically dominant offense. That's what is winning in college football right now.
Sark let it be known that bama is basically a passing team now... He was their OC, there oline has had trouble running consistently also.. Kinda lowkey if you arent paying attention but thats what it is.. Oh and UGA slinging that pill around too lately, looking completely dominant now..

Georgia slinging it around if you mean boots, waggles, screens, drags, misdirection, and lots of short underneath stuff but their perimeter blocking is elite, and they have good YAC. The 2 leading WR's are Macintosh at RB and Bowers at TE.


They throw it short to Bowers a lot and let that freak Run.

Miami perimeter blocking was awful last night. Our WRs and Mallory are terrible blockers.

Dont remind me, we threw a bubble to Brashard early (at 3:06 mark) and he had two blockers in front of two defenders.. IF one guy only gets his block, it goes a long way.. smfh
