Shannon Dawson

Shannon Dawson has zero run game concepts. No creativity to use speed laterally. We dont deserve players like Brashaed Smith, Chris Johnson, Jordan Lyle, and even Ray Ray Joseph. Dawson runs straight into the back of his offensive linemen. And when there is no room, cant pivot and create space for players with some juju to make plays.
 
we'll get it right. gonna be a fun ride.

there's enough pieces (Lofton, Jojo, Lyle still to get involved) and a mature QB with an arm.
more wrinkles out of the offense will come
do you believe they will actually see the field? And if so, will they be used properly? If you do, you are a better fan than I am. There was plenty of opportunity lasst night to just make a few tweaks. Didn't happen

JoJo got 1 snap. Lyle was misused all night. And Lofton, well..... was either wide open and didn't get a look or apparently ran the wrong route...
 
but notice - he USED one jet sweep to malachi that went for a TD 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣 Shannon Dawson is root cause for the inept vanilla offense. Last year Cam Ward, was other worldly and made him look good. Otherwise he is mid mid mid.
Let’s say Dawson isn’t what we thought he’d be.

Do you trust Mario to get it right a third time? How many OC’s do we cast aside before tackling the root issue? Genuinely asking, just because I see a lot of people directly blaming Dawson and while he deserves his fair share of heat, I don’t think it’s quite that simple

2 weeks to prep for the top rated defense in the ACC and we lay an egg. Dude has zero, ZERO imagination as a play caller. He’s a poor man’s Mark Richt. “It’s all about execution” byll****. What are schools paying for jerkoff? Jesus fuvking Christmas, COACH you ******* hick! Louisville had 2 week and made the most of it, how about you? For the amount of money these guys are paid this sort of out put is embarrassing. Time to move on Mario. Poor man’s Mark Richt offense. It’s worked for “X” amount of years. F off. I’ve had it with this crap. Count me a mope now. Fly the banner. “ FIRE DAWSON!” To the jerk off who mentioned him as a head coach, **** YOU!

Go Canes!
 
I've been telling posters Dawson was over rated and this O was all Cam since this off season. I didn't care who we got at qb in the portal with Dawson's vanilla scheme and our lack of speed on O we weren't going to be a top 30 offense.
 
Every time I criticize this guy I get fans on here coming at my neck. Yet, film doesn't lie.

Any team who plays DBs play very physical and they run 2 high safeties with alternate coverages from presnap to post snap put Dawson in a bind. He forces vertical routes into the strength of the defense instead of taking the underneath and short routes.

We could have WR screen, Tight End boot, and ran Florida off the **** field. Especially in less than favorable conditions for vertical passing. Yet, this man CONTINUES TO run intermediate to deep route concepts.

It is very hard for a QB to make it through 2 reads, let alone 3 and make an accurate check down. Most QBs in all of football just cant do that **** and let's be honest, NO ONE wants to get hit while standing back there so mechanics disappear.

Dawson should have helped his QB by making the first read in his calls a shorter route to his best route runner.

All Florida did was employ the strategy Georgia Tech uses. Notice a pattern? No matter the QB they struggle and the offense stagnates.

When teams use this strategy we have to use the TEs, backs, and attack the flats and keep the ******* chains moving.


Funny how **** comes full circle @DTP
 
I am afraid the Louisville DC Ron English knew what play we were running based on formations. For example, if we lined up with no backs in the backfield, Louisville would show pressure and we would run a WR screen.

My hats off to the Louisville coaches on both sides of the ball. They were prepared. Now, let’s see if we can learn from this and move forward. We can’t afford to lose another game if we expect to make the CFP Playoffs

I don't necessarily agree with that. The Philadelphia Eagles don't just run inside zone and they have had one of the biggest OL in the league the last few years.

You can still incorporate other run concepts with out being a true outside zone scheme. It just seems Mario/Mirabal like OL wall scheme and hope a hole pops. It does work well at times, especially when this big OL can lean on a team for 4 quarters....but if you overdo it, the D can pinch and make spacing difficult. Keeping them honest by challenging the edges with RB and something like a Malachi sweep could go a long way to keep the edge guys and backers honest.
Are our OL sans Cici athletic to pull and lead block on counters and toss plays like my Birds and how Stoutland coaches his guys? Or is Mario/Mirabal that dumb and oblivious to the fact that you can actually have your OL pull?

Every replacement has been an upgrade.


Steele --> Guidry ---> Hetherman

Gattis---> Dawson--->?
 
Would love for this guy to spread things out. The camera has to zoom in for our games bcu everything is so condensed
