I know we are not this bad.

[The Zooker]

Which ones weren't executing on defense for that matter? We may have a young team according to some statistics but we can't use that as an excuse. It doesn't match the facts. The vast majority of playing time is taken up by experienced upperclassmen. Just because some freshmen wide receivers will come in on some sets doesn't make us bad offensively because of youth and inexperience.

Most of them freshman or sophomores are not being worked into the game plan which is sad.

I can cite one in particular on defense - Will Hill. Twice in a row he make costly mistakes that resulted in opponents scoring on us.

I'm talking about the team as a whole. I can see where you;re going with that question and refuse to take the bait.

It was worth a shot.

Will Hill is a Junior and he started several games last season. I agree that he does make several costly mistakes though. He has several brilliant plays but then will bite it big and cost us points. He's not the brightest leg lamp on the street.

Our secondary is the least of our problems. Will hill has made mistakes but im willing top bet he has made more positive ones then bad ones. His first game this year came last week. I'm willing to bet if he was getting burnt on a regular basis he would not be starting.

Will Hill cost us points because he didn't cover his opposing receivers! Those were COSTLY mistakes!

has not cost us a game. I think pouncey has cost us more if we want to put it in that context with the bad snaps. Which in turn falls back to the coaches.

Maybe I should blame the coaches for all the issues I have in my personal life right now, huh?

if you feel the need then go ahead. But then again maybe coaches never make mistakes. Might wanna ask a coach for advice.

I made that comment tongue-in-cheek, FYI.

otg, u're missing the point entirely. we're not blaming the coaching staff for pouncey's bad snaps. we're blaming the coaching staff for not putting his ass back at guard and letting robey come in and show him how it's done.. THAT is the coaches fault. NOT pouncey's.. pouncey just plays the position the coaches tell him to. and for the record i'm disappointed addazio didn't get sucked into one of the jet engines on the way home... someone please take his play calling duties away... this guy is horrible

Perhaps it's time for some of you to send an email to Urban and say something then, right? Addazio was OC all of last season, yet I didn't see all these calls for his head last year.

Bad snaps and fumbles aren't the result of bad playcalling - those are player errors.

Sorry, but I'm not on the FSA bandwagon. The way I saw it, these kids shot themselves in the foot - call me out to your heart's content for not going along with the finger-pointing; I really don't give a crap anymore. I'm over it.

Exactly. Well, I am so far disappointed I need a new word for disappointed. Heartsick, maybe? I agree.....clean house on the top and go from there. this was pathetic and needlessly (sp?) embarrassing. And I am Tired of hearing Meyer saying "we have to get better." Uh....Duh? Come On! Shame on you!

Sorry. I sent an email to Urban Meyer that read "You guys need to get better". He does listen to the armchair quarterbacks. I suppose I should have been more specific. It's my fault, guys.

i remember a lot of people upset by the play calling last year. i believe we have been complaining for two years about the below average play calling. we just had a strong running qb who could make up for some of the bad play calls.

There were certainly rumblings last year. Everyone basically had the same feelings we have now. We had all kinds of ridiculous talent but were barely scooting by teams like Mississippi State. It seemed like the players were winning based on shear athletic disparity. They seemed to be winning DESPITE the playcalling, not because of it. It was even more predictable last year. But once we went up against a team that could match us athletically, it was a decisive loss due to the coaching disparity.

Come back, Zooker! Just kidding. Just promote Loeffler, and shop around for an OC. Urban Meyer is still a good coach, so I cannot give up on him yet. In December I will join the 'fire Urban Meyer bandwagon' if we get dismantled again. Right now I have one foot in the 'fire Addazzio' bandwagon.

players run what plays coaches call. if its not working its not working and coaches are supposed to adjust.
