Really! Another AV grift.Welcome back Cover! Nice writeup for a game that nobody saw. WTF is SEC+?
I hope yours is in a good place. I’ve joked that it made me accept, begrudgingly, that I am mortal after all. But I also learned to live life a day at a time. I can take time to appreciate a lot of the nuances that I rarely noticed before. That’s been one positive.Appreciate the explanation. Having dealt with cancer for several years now I am always curious.
Same here.Appreciate the explanation. Having dealt with cancer for several years now I am always curious.
Mine is stage 4 prostate cancer that has spread into my tailbone. I have done many radiation treatments (48 I believe) and am now on hormone therapy to slow down any more growth. Its no fun on top of my failed back surgery that also causes chronic pain 24/7. I am on fentanyl pain patches that help some. I also only have 1/3rd of one kidney that functions. The other is useless. Other than that I am ok.I hope yours is in a good place. I’ve joked that it made me accept, begrudgingly, that I am mortal after all.

Thanks for the well wishes. Don’t read too much into what I write about Billy and our Gators. They aren’t world beaters by any means, especially after pretty much a dud of an offensive game against a meh team. And you’re certainly correct that we still have some obvious missed assignments on defense e.g. coverage against UT had several instances of being too slow flipping the hips and running with the receiver and instead chasing. Coaching has and will continue to change this for the better, but you cannot discount the youth that is being called upon. It makes it a process more than we’d like it to be. It’s not there, but it’s coming.Get well C2. That is all the matters. As for the team I do not think that the O-Line is any good at all regardless of who plays. Amazing how the run game is marginal against D-3 undersized teams at times. Why? Is it b/c the run game scheme is more horizontal than power, requiring your O-Linemen to be athletic and agile and our O-Linemen are very slow and very unathletic? And those undersized defenses do not take on blocks but find gaps and take chances with their quickness? Against lesser opponents why would you not run more downhill, hat on hat blocking? Is the lack of success in the red zone on offense have anything to do with play sequencing? I think it does. Interesting they use the misdirection TE play on the goal line against the D7 teams and not against a more capable opponent. That is Cousin Eddie-esque. . On defense I understand a lot of the positive vibes but I still see too many guys out of position and a lot of unsure assignment looks. The FG kicker being 5 for 5 is great but there has to be a reason you kick 5 FG's and not all of that is in a game plan. Great that special teams looked better but again a D5 opponent. Any reason why they do not look like that against real opponents? Punting is punting, punt receiving is punt receiving and smart decisions are smart decisions, opponent irrelevant.
Wishing you great health and a full recovery.

And right back at ya sir.Praying for you brother
The back up OL was putrid (missing 4 starters including TE ) against Charlotte after our second drive. Some of the worse pass pro I've seen in recent years.ONE WEEK after the OL pushed Tennessee all over the effing field, suddenly they are being called an awful unit. I really don't get it.
It really is sad because Ky used to be a given. Now they expect to beat us even in our own house.Good to have you back Cover!
Nice write up, although I'm a bit more pessimistic after last night.
I just can't trust Napier right now. We had a solid gameplan, which was well executed on both sides of the ball for the first half of the Tennessee game.
Then, What?
Was the huge Tennessee win, last years Utah win?
I guess, it will all unfold next week at Kentucky.
Which is sad actually, we are now gauging how good our team is, or can be, with a game in Lexington?????
