AUGoo 2,666 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Mercia (Old English: Miercna rīce) was one of the kingdoms of the Anglo-Saxon Heptarchy. The name is a Latinisation of the Old English Mierce or Myrce, meaning "border people" The those not in the know........ ............... like me.

passthebiscuits 6,886 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 On another note, both Gus and Chip use headsets, but Chip was DEFINITELY calling plays. After the near turnover, int and fumble/td, Gus strongly encouraged Chip to call safe running plays. I suspect that the playbook will open quite a bit this week and resemble more like the A day game. What I saw was a nice mix of traditional Gus run plays (like them or not they were successful) and some improved passing plays (tho limited). where I disagree strongly with Gus is that I think when we are playing teams like Ga Southern is the perfect time to work on the things that we aren't good at...throw the ball around. Give Clemson or anyone else MORE to think about. But Gus thinks that showing his hand may increase the opponents preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I completely agree that vs lesser opponents is where you iron out these details but how much of your hand do you want to give? This game really reminded me of the 2010 campaign offensively. I will say that traditionally it takes atleast 3 games in for Gus's offenses to really click. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That play was just mishap by the QB . I hate that mentality sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we look sloppy against Clemson execution-wise because we didn't take that opportunity to practice our new offense with our new QB, then I will have a tough time getting over it. "Okay Stid, now we're going to try that thing we talked about, on the road, against the defending national champion and one of the best D lines in the nation. Don't worry, it'll be fine!" Anxiety.

fredst 9,064 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 The whole "I'm not going to show them the real AU offense to try to trick them" (if that is really the mindset) is so Mickey Mouse as to be laughable. Execution, discipline. and good game-planning will win, not sneakiness. Saban, Urban, and even Dabo aren't playing these silly games for their success.

casatiger 514 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Well, Gus seems a bit paranoid so probably fits his personality to a T. If it makes him feel better more power to him. ALL coaches are control freaks and at every level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuburnNTexas 7,198 Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 I saw some of the same running game as last year and some different running game fom last year. I also saw some different passing than last year. I did see an O-Line that had some issues with run Blitz's hence the number of tackles for loss. I saw a RT who got exposed in a few passing situations. The defensive Blitz's were a two way street yes we had some losses because of them but they also led to some very long gains. Blitzing to much exposes a defense, I expect Clemson to rely on their front 4 more than Georgia Southern. The three dropped passes add almost 100 yards to JS passing totals and brings us to close to 300 yards passing and just under 700 yards of total offense and adds another 7-10 points to the score. The big change I want to see this week is a few more 1st down passes to keep D-Line honest and a few passes on 2nd and short after a nice gain on 1st down. Those few changes would make it appear like a totally different game plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dabo goes out and teaches a clinic on curb stomping for all to see and could care a less if Gus has film of it or not. It's called getting your team ready for the game this weekend. He did it on the field and we did it in practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
