You disrespectful to the old guys k9, I have listened to you on podcast, would thought you had more respect for goats, lol.. Gault would smoke us and he more explosive..

Legend has it he ran 4.4 at 50 tho, lmaooo WE SLOW AFFF @ MIAMI.. I still cant comprehend.. I will say it til it changes because alot of people in denial until the ball is snapped and we dont score or scare anybody

Why was Gattis even a choice.... especially with what those who coached with him were saying?

Your guess is as good as mine. Who knows what goes on behind closed doors and anyone that says any different is full of ****. Unless someone was actually following Mario around 24/7, they don’t know any more than you or me.

well I mean im curious. you guys say these kids are run a 4.8 but I want to see some times that theyre actually that slow.

What I see is horrible footwork. They might run 4.5 straight line, but they are much slower running routes. Horrible at releases, stemming routes and cutting. I saw a hitch route where the wr “beat the drums” like a 6th grader learning it for the first time. Painfully slow.
Also, I think they are too crowded. We have no idea what wr spacing looks like, even when the formation is supposed to be spread.

we should probably get a new WR coach then. ive seen route issues since week 1. it was on blast against atm. its never been corrected. its like no one practices in gables other than shouting toughness.

Tune in saturday, when you screaming how can the hole be that wide and its only a 7 yard gain or when these guys are getting locked down and they cant beat press man you will have your answer.
 
The thing that kills me is the check with me on the sideline every play. Wtf is that? I didn’t play in the NFL but I’ve watched sports my whole life and this is markedly abnormal. It kills pace. We’re up against the playclock every play so it makes the snap easy to jump. We have so many effing analysts, why can’t we just call a play and run it and have a built in check down like literally every other football team coached by professionals?

It’s the same team we had last year, except minus Rambo and Harley.

So what else is different? It’s the guy calling the plays.

I agree that last years offense struggled against better teams (Clemson for example 2 years ago, Bama last year), but against the weak *** teams were playing now, we scored often.
 
man o man the narratives in this thread.
against Duke - Parrish was faster than any dude on that D. Was killin' em too. But did we scheme him open and make them pay? Nope.
that's coaching 101
biggest Mario fear for me is this looks like Golden 2.0 where loyalties and friendships will constantly hamper this program.
guess we'll see.

not saying you're wrong, but I dont think Mario has any particular loyalties (of a personal nature) to Gattis..

Agreed. I’ve seen the same. Do these wrs practice catching with their hands? Lol. Sure seems they don’t as only CY consistently catches with his hands.

Route concepts (Gattis) are woefully underdeveloped. Plays should be designed to scheme a specific wr open (with a safety valve), attack a specific db downfield or punish a specific def tendency. Ours do none of that. The fade route to CY doesn’t get setup nor does it set up the next play call. That’s why everything seems so random.

Is the slant in our route tree?

I dont disagree that theyre getting locked down but I dont think they need track speed to get open lol. you can scheme guys open

It was more to guys watching Tenn and saying why our guys not running wide open like Hyatt.. Tenn offense is built off Briles offense, he was legendary of stockpiling that track speed at Baylor, it was built into the DNA of their offense and philosophy. It wasnt just the fast pace that had Baylor avg 60+ for one of greatest offenses ever.. You cant expect something just watching the game saying why cant we do that but not understand the fundamentals of what makes that offense tick. Do we have anybody that runs a 10.4? Or even 10.6?

We are 113th in run/pass ratio. This isn’t smash mouth football. That’s a myth that needs to die. This is a pass-happy offense that sucks at passing.

We need massive, fundamental changes, but the problem isn’t running too much.

I don't believe it's a myth at all. As a matter of fact, history tells us otherwise.

We are passing the ball 56% of the time this year. Last year at Oregon they ran the ball 55% of the time. In 2020 they ran it 54% of the time. In 2019 they ran it 52% of the time. In 2018 they ran it 54% of the time.

Mind you, in 2018 and 2019 he had a generational QB in Justin Herbert. Mario did not have a come to Jesus moment this year and decide for the first time to not only pass more than he runs in a season, he did it because he had no choice due to his rushing game being an epic failure.

For further proof, in game 1 this year we ran the ball 64% of the time. In game 2 we ran it 60% of the time. In game 3 we ran it 47% of the time. In game 3 were playing from behind which led to slightly more passing.

It was from game 4-8 when we started to go more pass heavy. Some of those games we were getting blown out and the run game simply had to be abandoned, not to mention it simply wasn't working.

Against UVA, we had more success on the ground and were back up to rushing 54% of the time. Don't get it twisted, if Mario believed he could run the ball, he would be doing it 55% of the game as history has shown us. And he will do just that once he gets his own guys.
