GAME THREAD: Auburn vs Southern Miss

[milehighfan 1,240]

I've got an idea, line up in Notre Dame box and let us try to figure it out. How much worse could that be?

I simply do not understand what happened to all of the passes that we were throwing in the Washington game. Where is that? It seems like all we are doing now is going for the deep ball. 

There are zero short to intermediate passes . It takes sustained drives to give teams confidence. This is at the feet of grimes and chip .

1. Pre-snap someone needs to do a better job of adjusting protections and id'ing blitzes. 

2. Post-snap Stidham needs to learn how to properly manipulate a pocket. It's not rocket science. 

3. And the playcalling too often fails to include hot reads especially against a defense that loves to blitz like this. 

Then we can talk about our average offensive line. 

We almost always have a hot route.  Hard to throw the hot route when the QB is drifting back in the pocket and runs out on any flash of a rush.  Stand in the pocket and deliver the fricking football.  It’d make all the difference in the world.

We need to go back to what was working. The only way this offense is going to be successful is if JS gets rid of the ball quickly by throwing quick slants, outs, and wide receiver screens. Loosen up the defense.

At some point, we may all conclude that expectations were simply too high for our team this year, breaking in a new offensive line AND a bunch of new running backs.

100%

Shivers also almost always sheds first contact. No my point is , people want to doubt shivers but say asa is the answer when he hasn’t done anything.

I like all our backs. I would like Asa to have the opportunity that others have had. He’s made big plays receiving let’s just give him a chance as a rb.

Way to judge on height, he’s built like an ox. Different archetype but people said K.J. wasn’t a 3 down between the tackles back either. Lol

KJ put on 20 pounds. Shivers just has a small frame.

Not judging, it's a fact. Unless, ASA redshirts,  we are wasting good talent on the sideline..

I was in the stadium for the rain game in 2008(?) and none of us left and we all lived. Let's play some ball.

It's pouring down rain in AU. A sparse crowd may be in place when action resumes.

That’s why he’s been used in the passing game, but there’s a reason whitlow and shivers are getting carries and he isnt

[auburn4ever 1,266]

We have tiny RB's that can't other teams defensive lines. We have to start signing BIG RB's who run at right thu you.

Oh no we don’t want Gundy. He’s good when there are no expectations

This seems to be the case..............every season.

Clearly Jarrett is not allowed to audible anymore.  We have gone back to meerkat offense.  Get to the line and let coaches call play based on alignment.  Just reacting instead of taking action to the defense.  So slow.  Heck I would rather huddle up.  We're did at least work on not being predictable on snap count.  We are just a little too good on it now as our own linemen don't know it.  We showed a little promise before the delay.  It's just so out of rhythm for everyone.  Maybe with the delay we have time to game plan script the last 4 minutes.  Then do it again lol.

So let me get this right....what makes our O one dimensional is that you have to complete passes for the defense to respect that aspect of your offense, right?  So what happens when you rush for 39 yards on 12 carries(3.25ypc)? Does that make us 0 dimensional?

 

Dude, seriously?  Just stop.

 

 

Your waisting your time. It’s obvious he does not understand OL play.

I think you are right. You think Joiner is totally out at H- back

Our current DC is the only reason we are have more than 1 win this year. That's just ridiculous.
