I'm of the belief after the Auburn game that it's not the personnel on offense, although I believe the wide receiving core is overrated or lacking in talent as in years past, but my main observation is Crowton after his first scripted 15-20 plays, doesn't have a good "sense" as to what plays to call. Nor does he make adjustments to the gameplan based on a particular opponent or in-game.

Jordan is a quality quarterback if Crowton calls plays that play to the strength of this team.

If we are going to force-feed Scott then at least let him have a fullback in the I-Form or Strong Formation. Scott does not have cutback or vision to see lanes that dont appear open at first glance. He is a bull, but he is considerably more effective with a Fullback, given our O-line not being able to get the "push" needed at the point of attack.

Back to Jordan, I feel that he is exponentially better when he is rolled out of the pocket after a fake handoff and has the option to throw or run if receivers are covered. Last year's game footage showed that and Auburn showed it. He's a dangerous runner when rolled out as oppose to having to do it from the pocket up the middle.

Lastly, this receiving core has two receivers and that's it as far as I'm concerned. Rueben hasn't come around yet and likely will not for the season and the rest are just not as physically gifted/route running to gain separation from SEC caliber defensive backs. Hence, Jordan "appearing" to hold on the ball when in all actuality in many instances no one is open.

If you consitently double Lafell and shadow Dickson, then that leaves on Tolliver to run his patented curl route and hope that the defender doesn't anticipate the route. Thoughts???
