tbone4jc 2,238 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I want to see the oline run block and the dbacks not get any PI calls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeek 16,617 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I’ll pick ten things I’d like to see, because I’m obsessed with lists lol. 1. Abnoxious rushing yards. Kam 200+ Boobee 200+ Asa 100+ Shivers 100+ 2. Malik Willis throws for 250+ 3. O-line stays in almost all game. 4. NCM and Darius Slayton each get a touchdown of 30+ yards. With Seth, Schwartz, and Hill all getting lots of targets. 5. O-line continues to gel and there are big enough lanes I could drive a semi through them. Defense: 1. One player gets 5 sacks, don’t care who. 2. Backup linebackers get a tremendous amount of reps. As do the starting secondary players. 3. 4+ forced turnovers of any kind. 4. Absolutely no penalties. 5. Better containment while pressuring qbs. That’ll be important against all the dual threats we’ll see this year. Bonus: Carlson redeems himself with a 55 yarder. Siposs locks down the punting job with obnoxious 70 yard punts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronMan70 3,277 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 There are many areas that need to be improved and they will be better in week two. But we've got to get ready for LSU so there are two areas that must get better and fast. The first is improved OL play, maintaining pass pro blocks, more aggressive run blocking and better execution overall. The second area is improvement by Stid in picking up the wide open WRs he missed in critical 3rd down situations, two of which were in the RZ.

AU64 10,122 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 JMO but not much we do this weekend will help prepare for LSU....so rack up some stats, let the young guys play a lot and enjoy the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUwent 3,747 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 For us to put the game away early unlike with last year's cupcakes and be able to rest the starters during the second half, given that this is sandwiched between two probable top ten matchups.

oracle79 3,569 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I'd like to see Stidham, Kam, Boobie, Cox, Slayton, Davis, Horton (and maybe Harrel), Kim, and Driscoll on the sidelines leading cheers for the fans no later than after the 1st offensive drive of the 3rd quarter if not sooner. I'd like to see Willis throw some meaningful passes and not just run the read option or wildcat look. I'd like the game to be in no doubt after the 1st quarter. I'd like to see McClain, and every freshman WR catch a pass from Willis. I'd like to see Sandberg for at least a series running the offense and not just taking a knee.

Mikey 16,550 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 What I'd like to see in week 2: Ist teamers run up a very quick, efficient 21-0 lead no later than early 2nd quarter. Reserves take over, get lots of playing time and hold their own for the rest of the game. Call it a 42-14 final score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McLoofus 35,182 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Keep the starting 5 on OL in at least the full first 3 quarters*, unless Kim forces us into giving Brahms a look. Ditto for KMart and Boobee. Those guys needs reps. They also need some opportunities to get to the 2nd level and feel some success. Build some confidence and comfort. They also need more reps with Stidham. Even little things we don't think about like handoffs need to be repped in front of live bullets. After that, I'll take as many runs as we can manage from Shivers and whoever the next men up are. Do whatever you can to make the job harder for DCs further down the schedule. Keep the good plays limited and maybe throw in some garbage plays. Definitely a luxury to indulge only as long as the OL is controlling the game early. Try to rest the old guys on defense as much and as early as possible. Work those young guys as much and as early as possible. I know Steele is already planning on this. Not looking for this to be a "fan friendly" game. I'm not looking for the shiny new toys to entertain me against an overmatched opponent. Not looking for big stats, although it might be nice to reward some of the upperclassmen on defense and boost their draft profile. Try to find balance between working on red zone offense but also getting Carlson some work. *End of the 3rd quarter is my arbitrary point in the game. Just easy for my simple brain to grasp.

atl-tiger 655 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Establish the run and get a big lead early. OLine should play majority of the game, but need to get back ups reps for MW and the RBs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad_ATX 13,654 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 - Run. The. Ball. Run blocking and RB patience needs work, so get the practice in. If Stidham throws more than 10 times, I'll be furious. - When Malik gets in, run the whole offense with him and the younger guys. Game reps would be huge for them. - Reduce the penalties. - Sit anyone with even a minor nick of an injury. Our backups should be able to handle ASU easily. No reason to risk injury where we don't have to with two conference games on the horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For all the discussion about how to rotate guys, I wouldn't be surprised to see anyone with a 15-yarder get verbally flayed and benched after all the shenanigans this past Saturday.

Yeah, there are certain guys who I don't even think we should play a snap, Ryan Davis being one of them. I could live without Cox playing too much, either.

After watching the game and going back to last season, my "Too late, Season's started" Mark My Words is - Ryan Davis = 2018 AU Offensive MVP and quite possibly SEC PoY** **You know the media's already handed that title to Tua, but I mean the REAL PoY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch bama play the other night but I did watch a few gifs of Tua today. He's a damned freak. RD is, too, though. If he stays healthy this season, he'll earn some more school records. I think somebody said he's only 38 off the career receptions record? I know we all want that Dez Bryant, AJ Greene guy, but Antonio Brown is the best WR in the NFL. Just sayin...
