Moving Forward
Posted by TheFranchise on 9/5/10 at 12:21 pm00
Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and LSU all looked less than impressive yesterday. I have confidence that Brown, Stoops and Meyer will right the ship.
I don't care if we end up 13-1 and win the National Championship but a loss to Ole Miss is a fire-able offense.
If either of the two "starting" RBs see the field next week, Miles needs to be fired immediately. A message must be sent that that behavior will not be tolerated. The third-teamer has more skill than the first two put together. Miles no longer has Porter to blame when the best back (KW/MF) doesn't see the field. Interestingly, the prior excuse was that KW was fumble-prone despite losing less fumbles in his entire career than any of CS, JH, SR or RM. And Capt. Fumble, SR, is telling Lazare that MF can't learn the playbook, what would you expect the starter to say about his more-talented understudy?
If Ga Tech can win a football game with 8 passing yards (despite who it was against) there is no reason we can't win with JJ at QB. No more excuses.
It's certainly not time to panic. The old adage that teams improve the most between game 1 and game 2 needs to ring true in this instance, though. We've got some great tools to work with and some clear issues that need correction. Can Miles' accent the assets, get the best RB on the field and correct the mistakes?
We've got some truly explosive playmakers but JJ needs to learn to get the ball to them instead of running so much. Do he and Miles and the offensive staff not realize that we only have 2 QBs on the roster? Even Mushberger commented that he looked like a ball-hog.
I find it odd that we bring in BG (who spent his career in a spread somewhat similar to GC) and keep Crowton but Miles still won't allow GC to open the spread full-bore. Are we a power/pro-style team or a spread team or some kind of hybrid which can't seem to maximize the strengths of either system? Pick one focus and get good at it.
I liked the fact that we turned up the attacking style of defense (at least at times last night). But I fear that getting burned a few times will cause Miles to demand that the Chief turn back to the "safe" bend-don't-break style, keeping our defense on the field and our offense off of it.

Meyer looks to me like his head is not in the game.
