Personnel decisions

[MertzJay26]

Can't get my head wrapped around some of the personnel decisions Mac and co make.

Why are we rotating WRs every other play? Cleveland and Toney are never on the field at the same time. Where is Massey? Don't you want your best WRs on the field at the same time?

And why the heck isn't Davis getting 10-15 carries? He is by far our most explosive RB.

I won't even get started with having Powell anywhere near the kick and punt return teams.

Bottom line is we have the playmakers now, so why don't we utilize them?

Thompson showed me the hardest running yesterday
JUST get Toney out there........

It's probably got something to do with blocking ability and knowing what to do on all the plays. I know.....I know....we need our playmakers on the field with the ball and I agree but I'm just telling you....coaches are serious about that stuff and if they miss a block our assignment they go crazy and it's all part of the execution thing we are all yelling about.

I hope it's not blocking ability when Perine gave up that awful sack I was hoping to not see him on the field again.

 

[G8trwood]

They have powell out there to stop people from trying to run it out of the end zone every play :)

He did that also like Thompson?

 

[GatorTAG]

Where was Goolsby?

I don't get why he has to stop them every time you'd think after a couple times they'd figure it out!

Someone convinced Nussmeier that the larger the number, the higher the ranking.

 

[Swamp Donkey]

Where was Goolsby?

He has been busy. Still going to the AllSEC banquets.

All SEC


Seriously, ALL SEC

All of our RBs suck at it. I don't think we've had a workhorse RB who could pick up a blitz since Graham.

 

[Thick&ThinG8r]

I know our TE's can't block but I thought they could catch. I was at the game but can recall three TE's with one catch for nine yards. If that's all we're getting out of them we might as well go four wide or put in an extra linemen. Also Massey is what I thought he was and Toney is three times the player.

 

[GatorJ]

Thompson showed me the hardest running yesterday.

HE CAN'T BLOCK. He almost got Franks killed yesterday.

 

[chferg]

With how we use our TE's, just spread it out with more receivers on the field

 

[Since65]

Agree with the "where's Massey" question. I remember one pass intended for him and he was double covered...incomplete. Perhaps the knee injury has taken away some explosiveness or maybe he was over-hyped to begin with?

Didn't see Tyler Jordan play at all? Did I miss that or did his poor play against UM result in the bench? He was another one touted in preseason as a linchpin of the Oline.

Antonneous Clayton....did he play at all? Still waiting for him to act like a 5 star.

I do believe that the absence of Scarlett and Calloway has an impact. No, they are not All SEC performers but they are the best returning at their position and they would be part of the game plan if active. That said, they did this to themselves and have to live with the consequences.

Why not put Toney and Davis back to receive kickoffs?

 

[InstiGATOR1]

I hope it's not blocking ability when Perine gave up that awful sack I was hoping to not see him on the field again.

UF gave up 2 sacks against UTn. One was on Thompson 24 missing the MLB and the other was when Franks rolled into the blitz where both an TE and RB chipped the guy. So I am not sure which one you think you are putting on Perine, but I put one on Thompson and one on play design/Franks.

Why not put Toney and Davis back to receive kickoffs?

I kinda expected that duo to win the KR jobs. Maybe Henderson as another option. Did they even get a look?

 

[Uncle Rob]

I don't think Cleavland should be returning kicks. He hesitates too much, looking for blocks. It is much harder for the defender to hit you if you are going full speed. Of course it hurts more when they do so it certain degree of fearlessness is required.

TC is becoming a great WR with clutch catches, but he lacks the shake n bake typically needed for KR. I think raid read my mind about the top 2 candidates for that job.
