The transformation of Miles to Bo Schem is almost complete.

Cool. I hope Meechicken appreciates our development of Miles into their next coach. I just hope our next coach brings home another crystal football.

I'm still scratching my head on all the four-WR sets I saw last night. When is the last time JJ made it to his third option, let alone fourth?

am I the only one thinking that Jefferson actually played a pretty decent game against UNC - pretty much on par with how he played coming down the stretch of last yr with fewer sacks/ bad decisions - and the coaches have WAY overreacted to the Vandy game?

IF miles plays not to loose and goes 14-0 do we still fire him?
IF miles goes 14-0 b/c of not loosing a game do we still want saban back?

i was sitting on near the south end where most of the interceptions happened (and the jj score.)
the lady and i next to me agreed that we were really getting an incredible game.
then, i wondered if it would be ok if chavis and the defense actually win every game for us.
then, i wondered if the ranterds would still want to fire gc and lm b/c they didn't WIN any games.

wow, sometimes the rant can't be happy about nuthin'.

So far I have seen same plays over and over every game. To conservative with the play calling. Let him throw the football and try to develop. This is getting old with Crowton.

I said this on another post last night and I'll say it again:

1.) The coaching staff is calling plays that JJ is comfortable with. Unfortunately, he doesn't seem to be too comfortable with much beyond handing the ball off and roll-out passes where he only has one side of the field and 1-2 reads to deal with.

2.) If we are hell-bent on being an option team and not developing a vertical passing attack, then Shep is the better athlete for that style of offense.

3.) If we want to have an offense that is on par with our defense and special teams, then Lee is the best option.

I heard Hanagriff go off on a pro-Jefferson rant last night and he made the comment that he forgot the part where Jarrett Lee all of the sudden became Dan Marino. The fact is, Lee was thrown into a messed up situation in his Freshman year and while everyone remembers the bad (INTs), they forget that the kid threw for almost 1,900 yds and a rating over 116. Granted, the INTs were huge but, again, we're talking about a freshman who was thrown to the wolves too early.

The coaches and the pro JJ folks on here keep saying that they are trying to "develop their young QB". They need to remember that they have TWO young QBs to develop. Lee deserves meaningful reps.

It blows my mind why we are still doing this shotgun read option bullcrap every play. If out strength is going to be our running game, why can't we just line it up in the I formation an shove it down their throats? Seemed to work in the 4th quarter of the vandy game. I do t know how much more handoffs to Ridley in the shotgun for half a yard I can take.

Hell yes. I don't care what QB you want to play, but scrap the option and line up in the I and bust people in the mouth! This offense has NO identity and it is hindering the progress that could be made.

If JJ's first read is covered its over! He still looks like a freshman to me. If we can't throw the ball over 6 yards we are doomed in a few more games. U can't run with 9 in the box. So I guess its field goals from now on.

the problem is we are afraid to let JJ read a defense...

i would be too considering how wide open RR was all of last night and JJ never found him
