So next time I call yall want me to roll off 3 sentences worth of stats and hang up and listen to his response?
I wasn't being a smartass, I just don't see the point of saying what he said ... what would that accomplish? Truth be told, he was being a smartass by saying that I should call in and ask about that. Surely he wasn't being serious.

Did anybody ask him if he was nervous about November 8th?

lol, no we didn't even have to ask... in his opening statement, he said he was very nervous about that one.

Why have we put up repeated bad performances against SEC opponents for about a year?

if people dont think there are any "legit" callers on the show, why dont they call themselves and make a "legit" call????

after a loss i'd guess there are maybe 2 "legit" calls that get through the screener

Unfortunately, when you have a weakness in the secondary, it's very dangerous to blitz. If you blitz, you leave DBs in single coverage, so they better do a good job or you're going to get killed. Right now, we just don't have the secondary to get away with it.
On the other hand, except for Saturday night, we do have a pretty strong DL, so our defensive coaches probably think we have a better chance of getting pressure with just the 4 up front than we have of getting coverage with just the 4 back.
What bothers me is that every team we face finds it very easy to scheme to get McCray in single coverage on a fast WR, no matter how many we drop into coverage, and that's a bad matchup for us, obviously. We really need to find some way to keep that from happening so much.

Depends on your philosophy. Leaving your DB;s hanging for five seconds while the QB checks off his WR sequence also highlights a weak secondary.

We also don't have the secondary to let a QB stand in the pocket for 5 seconds while WRs get free.

Not only did I see the gameplan, I've seen the game now 3 times, including being present at the game. While the gameplan wasn't perfect, I have never seen a perfect gameplan. The bottom line is we got off to a rough start on the road against a better team and were simply not able to pull ourselves out of the hole. You can't get behind 17-0 on the road against Florida and expect to win, no matter who you've got on roster or what gameplan you've put together, it's simply not going to happen. We could have done some things differently, but have you ever seen a game for any team where there couldn't have been changes that would have had a positive impact?
It also must be pointed out our offense is certainly not helping the defense. It goes without saying that when WE have the ball, the other team DOES NOT. When you're offense can't at least get a couple first downs on most drives (not necessarily score, but at least move the ball a little), your defense is certainly not put in a very good position to have consistent success against a quick-strike offense. Combine that with the problems that are already there on defense (youth in the secondary, Florida surprising us with the run game and the wide splits) and you've got a problem.
Hence, the loss. But it's time to move on.

Different reasons in the two years.
Last half of 2007, it was injuries in the DL and LB corps, plus a lack of speed at LB that caused the worst problems. This year, it's all of that, plus inexperience and lack of speed in the secondary. For the most part, last year's problems occurred against good offensive teams (for example, UT and OSU didn't do all that well offensively against us). This year, it's against good and bad offensive teams.

they got up 17-0 because of the gameplan
we didn't change the gameplan at all during the game. no adjustments on D

it's game to game along with in-game changes
our staff learned nothing from AU or MSU

True, but it's a case of pick your poison. You are either going to leave your front 4 alone to create a pass rush, or your back 4 alone to cover receivers. Of the two groups, I guess the coaches think the front 4 have a better chance of getting their job done without any help, but then that went wrong for us when Alexander and Jean-Francois got hurt. It's a bad situation either way, so you have to try to find the lesser of two evils.
The bottom line is that you can't be a good defense when you have a serious weakness in one whole unit of the defense, and we have a serious weakness in the secondary right now.

I don't pay for SFP's salary I do pay for Les Miles' which gives me the right to criticize.
His gameplan sucked dick.
