re: Is it more Sloan or Brad Davis?

Sloan definitely takes most of the blame, but what I can't understand is how you have Brad Davis amd Alex Atkins on staff, and the O-line is as bad as it is.

Sloan. Davis had a decent line last year

bullshite. The fact that last year’s line had 4 NFL players and still could not run block for anything tells you the problem was O line coaching.

You have no strengths when you can’t block anyone

then call designed rollouts and traditional screens to negate the pass rush. Run misdirection, jet sweeps, and reverses. Use our 6’7” TE a lot more. Call nothing that requires our OL to hold their blocks.

It’s an OC’s job to identify his team’s strengths and weaknesses, and then design a scheme and call plays accordingly.

ETA: and yes, try a series or two with MVB since he has different skills than Nuss and might stress the defense in different ways.

80% Davis. 20% Sloan. The play calling would look a lot better if the OL Coaching and Personnel weren't at SWAC level. Like I said back in the Spring and over the Summer, it's a dysfunctional shite show as predicted. It's "Sylvester & the Kardell's." Really bad coaching combined with vastly overrated talent. They're IN OVER THEIR HEADS at this level! (If the Tigers lose to A&M, it might finally be over for Davis)

Mostly Davis.. Very hard to call plays when you can't blocked anyone.

BS. Go watch Flynn break down film. It’s play calling. RPO crap. Hand ball off and hit the hole.

These slow arse developing plays are not made for this offense.

We have a 20 million dollar team and the second worst offensive line in the sec behind South Carolina. Baker Mayfield went 28-50 for 228 tonight n was sacked 4 times and pressured all night long. It does have a significant impact on offensive production at some point, even on elite level Qbs that aren't just extremely athletic, mobile guys.

---

Even extremely athletic mobile guys can't QB behind bad lines. And I don't think talent is the issue with our OL. We have 4-5* guys on the line. They didn't whiff on all of those guys. We also have 3* guys that are playing the best.

Davis. No line, no offense, regardless of who the coordinator is. And don't give me crap about mobile qbs. When 4 are beating 6 consistently, that mobile is going to run for his life.

And I write that as one who thinks Sloan should go.

It's BD but Sloan is also somewhat at fault but the O line is the cause of most of the offenses problems.

Def both. Yes OL stinks bad but as the OC you know this and must plan for that in play calling with wrinkles and creativity. You call plays that dont expose your weakness.
Instead the only creative thing done are WR screens.

Then it is back to running up the middle and pocket passing with 15 yd routes. So the def can pin their ears pack and get adter the qb.

You cant keep repeating it over and over. Move the pocket, bootlegs, rollouts, middle RB screens, sweeps, RB toss. We saw none of this.

Sure Nuss isnt mobile but you dont have to be fast to run a boot leg or bootleg. It gets him out of a collapsing pocket and gives open view of WRs
