BOL Round Table

I'm in no way going to criticize the results that our team has produced over the last four seasons. With that said, I'm not a huge fan of CJM. I admit that I don't know nearly as much about football as he does, I just don't like a lot of his plays. I don't like running the ball out of the shotgun (except the pistol). I think we throw too many short passes instead of letting the QB push the ball down field. I also think our play calling changes for the worse when we get inside the 30 yard line. I do really like to win though, and we've done a lot of winning over the last few years.

I tend to agree with you about some of his play calling. That delayed hand off to Trent with AJ in the shot gun has not worked all year. But having said that I still think he is a pretty good O.C.

McElwain needs to go. He is obsessed to running plays to the short side of the field, delays draws, his playcalling is horrible, and he takes forever to make in-game adjustments. We usually win in spite of of OC with superior talent and not because of it.

Was the Signature 76 yard juke run not off this play? I'm 99% sure it was

He has won a National Title.

Just because you see something not work a couple of times, it doesn't mean it doesn't work. It is neccessary to run draw plays from the shotgun. Everyone loves when we hit a crossing route from this formation. Guess what? Without running the draw from time to time, the LB's will drop back and take away those routes. There is more to playcalling than each individual play.

I also wouldn't put too much stock in any play that works with 2 minutes left and with a team down by two scores. Besides, we have had successful run plays from every formation imaginable.

Results asshole. How many yards has that sprint draw yielded early in games. 2008 we ran power and salted away games on offense. Wasn't pretty, but effective. We just ran into Tebow. 2009 we had a nice mix of power and passing. This year we have clearly leaned more towards finesse. Tell me why a 5 & 5 team stopped us on 4th & 1. Explain it. We used to pick that up against better teams.

I think this whole discussion over our O play calling or lack there of,Is just a hangover from the LSU game. If we beat LSU a lot of this discussion doesn't happen today. I do believe we are a little predictable on offense ,but we are 9-1 and still have a chance to play in the big game. Remember that this is the same oc and play calling that won a BCSNC in 09. Execution by the players play a big part in moving the football. I am just trying to be positive about it guys that's all.

I know, being 2nd this year and 3rd last year in the SEC in offense is just horrible, especially with a HC that like to keep it somewhat conservative. Get rid of him. I can tell you one thing, there will be about 110 teams lined up to get him if we do.

Are you really going to blame playcalling on not converting on 4th and 1?? I would hope that we could call any running play in the book and get it from 1 yard. That is execution, not playcalling.

You point out one game in 2009 and act like that was a better offense. There are a lot of other games that year that the offense was much worse.

Quit being stupid.

Who said anything about firing our coach? Don't put words in my mouth to validate your weak argument. The main problem with this years offense is we don't have a physical possession, go to receiver to bail us out. Some of us just wish we wouldn't try to pretend this is a great passing attack, and get back to power football. Duron Carter may be just what we are missing, but we won't know until next year.
