Blame erratic QB play and OLine play all you want, but bottom line, Crowton (or someone's) playcalling has not helped this offense, no matter who is on the field.

a playcall is only as good as the whether or not the team executes it. those same type of playcalls were executed just fine when matt flynn was the qb.

When Flynn was QB we still had plenty of Jimboisms in our offense. Every now and then you'd see a half-retard playcall and let it go b/c we were winning.

However, this year we've gone full retard on the playcalls.

And who is in charge of making sure the team executes?

IMO the problem is the fact we will not adjust in game to something if it is either working or not working

no shite, give the ball to keiland for 20 yards, the next carry comes 3 quarters later...(The only drive this year that was good was the last one against tulane with Ridley, he ran, it worked, we ran again and again...little bit of play action mixed in...

Crowton refuses to use his player's strenghts. How many times have we seen:

1. The 'speed' option with TH / RS at pitch back ran to the short side of the field?

2. CS running an off tackle from the shotgun across the formation, where he has to move laterally more than going downhill.

3. Fade routes, or lack thereof, to our tall WRs.

4. No 3 step drop play action slants.

5. Spot passes so our WRs have to stand still and wait on the ball rather than a bubble screen or regular routes.

6. Something works, then disappears from the gameplan.

And the list goes on...

And when it comes to QB's reading their progressions, it is my belief that Crowton doesn't give them a progression, but rather instructs them to 'throw it to this guy' ( see Jefferson's quote in regards to the UGA game when CS broke the winning TD run - Crowton called a pass and told him to throw it to Lafell ). This would explain some of JL's tendency to throw pick-6s and JJ's tendency to take a sack - if 'the guy' ain't open, JL forces while JJ holds onto the ball ( see JL's first pick-6 last year vs Auburn; he pumped then threw the ball anyway, almost like he was thinking 'man this is gonna suck'... ).

And don't even get me started on the meerkat offense...
