What's your biggest concern for the 2014 team?

Offensive line
 
Improvement from Driskel on his decision making. I love the guy and think he has loads of natural talent, but when he gets pressured, in the past he hasn't made the best decisions consistently.
 
The offense not being able to score. Obviously I'm optimistic that Roper can fix it, but the offense has been terrible and I just want to see the ball thrown down field, explosive plays being made, and points being scored.
 
Driskel "Driskeling" - I think Roper will give us the chance to be decent on offense but will Driskel finally have any field awareness.
 
I'll go more general and say point production. I don't care how we score, but we have to break Muschamp's cycle of putting us at the bottom of production nationally. It crosses multiple positions and coaches, so there you go.

This is the one that worries me the most too, but I'll even narrow it down further. Health of the offensive line. Florida doesn't want to have to find out if its backups are any good. If the Gators get to that point where they're starting a No. 7 or No. 8 in the rotation, it's going to be major trouble, IMO. I think the starting five can be serviceable if everyone can stay healthy.

Agreed.

I think we are good to about # 7 but if we lose two we will be hurting there.
 
Oline for sure...gotta have them stay healthy and i think the offense can take care of itself. We have a solid stable of RB that i think can produce (we know Taylor can) and i truly believe that if our Oline performs that Driskel will play much better. I'm not sure he'll ever be a great QB making reads and having the touch to be a true passer but i think in this style of offense he can find success.
 
O line depth. A couple injuries could cripple us.
 
I have 2 that I think can be equally bad. #1 The health of the O line and #2 the health of the Db's, contrary to some on this board we are thin at Db in both experience and depth.

What he said. I think the offensive line will be good this year. Hard to think they will have as many injuries as last year. Roper spreading the field out more will also make it harder for teams to blitz every down like they did against us last year which will help the O-Line, esspecially if McGee turns out to be a threat from the TE position. I think the tallent is all around Jeff and he has the athletisism to be great, he just has to be able to put the ball in a catchable spot and not make bad decisions.

Offensive line. Or maybe the ShoutBox not being large enough.:scratchchin:
I thought it was a chatter box?
 
Offensive Line with pancake blocking/movement and protection. We've sucked and sucked hard for what feels like a decade despite the yearly strength of our team coach speak ad nausea. Can we get a little Great Wall of Florida action again before I die? thank you. Go Gators!!

    why not just give them 5 years and drop the red shirt? it's semi-pro now, what's another year... https://www.espn.com/college-footba...s-vote-unanimously-adjust-sport-redshirt-rule
  • stephenPE stephenPE:
    I think its cool now that black coaches like Tomlin can become retreads like the old days. Used to be they would hire an old coach over and over before a Tomlin got a chance..............Does Cignetti get some attention by the NFL. Anyone watching the Oklahoma game tonight

    Tomlin may just take one year off before coaching again
  • gatordad3 gatordad3:
    Would this require negotiations since Tomlin had another year on his contract?
