Don't be surprised if P.P. plays a majority of the snaps at CB, with one of the other CBs covering the slot receiver...

Is Meyer overrated?


Kills me to say this but I think, CURRENTLY, the answer is yes.

He is a great recruiter and a good guy, but he isn't the best gameday coach, and seems to not make adjustments very well.

I'm getting tired of his offensive and defensive philosophies, and it really is weird how he can never take the blame for ANYTHING. I have a lot of respect for a guy who says "Hey, this game is on me. I'll take the blame." Meyer usually sits there and comes up with 1 million excuses.

I don't like how he treats our RB's, either. One fumble and you're in the dog house and probably not going to play anymore in the next 5 or 6 games if not more. That is no way to coach. I know not turning the ball over is important, but if he had a little confidence in them, maybe they would have confidence in themselves too and play more loose and not so worried that one fumble could end their career.

When we lost to Ole Miss two games again, a game we easily should of won (missed extra point killed us; shouldn't of been allowed anyways; guy hurdled one of our players, which is illegal unless you are carrying the ball). With better play calling we win that game easily.

Meyer is WAYYYYY too conservative. If we would open up the offense (hey you may get more turnovers but a lot more points), we would be better off.

It's frustrating as a fan. I love the guy to death but he is so damn stubborn. He need to change the way he coaches a bit, or I fear he won't be here too long.

That's the honest truth from a Gator fan.

I guess it all depends on what you like, but the one with the most traffic are the boards on Gatorsports.com


A lot of idiots, but still pretty good discussion.

We lived with that with Saban except Saban liked to blame the players for losses instead of himself. A totally classless POS blames college kids instead of taking the blame himself.

Hurdling another player is illegal and a personal foul (ball carriers are exempt). however for it to technically be hurdling the player being hurdled can't have any part of his body other than his feet on the ground.

In this case the player either wasn't technically hurdled; it was close and the refs rightly swallowed their whistle; or they didn't see it to begin with.

I'd like to see hime or Jai Eugene on Harvin. Peterson is fairly tall for a CB and both are quick and good tacklers. I just hope that they don't put McCray, or even worse, a LBer on him. Last year Pelini got the bright idea of letting Highsmith guard him. Big difference in speed between the two.
