Five-star freshman Da’Shawn Womack can’t get on the field and transfer Jordan Jefferson saw just 15 snaps for some reason.

What are the coaches thinking? Honestly, what logic is there to do something this stupid?

Weeks also didn't play enough and he was our highest graded defender per PFF.

That should be a fireable offense

Our defense problems are far from just being the coaches fault, Kelly is right the players still have to make the plays. But my god, the staff sure isn’t helping them with their decision making.

Because seniority trumps talent with Kelly. Sad.

At this point, what have you got to lose?

Can’t get any worse.

Well I guess we can because we aren’t dead last, but barely!

I remember back in a simple time when everyone was clamoring for younger guys to start and Welch proceeded to get raped.

it’s pretty wild. Does Kelly let position coaches set these rotations or what?

These guys just need time to learn the defense. On second thought, unlearning whatever defense is being played out there is probably a good thing.

This is like when Miles started DJ Welker over I believe Kevin Minter.

Womack was listed in the game summary as a participant, but I don’t remember him on the field

Our highest graded snd best linebacker played less than half the snaps.

This is the exact same thing as putting Harold Perkins into coverage on like 70% of the snaps vs FSU or just not playing him at all last year vs FSU and Tennessee.

If House is replaced and it's stops then it's fine but if not then this is a Kelly issue.

I don't understand why we're not playing our best players.

Jefferson absolutely needs some of Maason Smith's reps. Weeks never needs to leave the field. Womack has to get reps on 3rd down. None of the other DE's can even get close to pressuring the QB. Womack is from Baltimore. If he's not playing more the rest of the season, he's likely going to transfer.

The reason is either they don’t know the schemes, they were hurt or they were in the doghouse. All legitimate reasons.

I’ll tell you wasn’t the reason: It wasn’t that they were the best choices, but the coaches didn’t play them because the coaches are stubborn, wanted to spite the fans, or played favorites.

Kelly made some offhand comment abt Womack being late to pick up something from the nutrition center or somesuch. Wasn't sure if he was joking. But he alluded to Womack being in trouble for that.

The tempo that Ole Miss plays with makes substitutions nearly impossible. They'll play 6-7 snaps in a row with the same personnel, especially if they like who is currently on the field on defense.

Jefferson’s snaps probably had a lot to do with Ole Miss running no-huddle almost all game. Maason would start a drive, and since we barely forced any incompletions Ole Miss could run tempo the entire way down the field.

Kelly and House should’ve been more prepared for that, but idk what the solution would have been.

Spin zone is at least Maason should be getting into shape with more reps.
