Think Cox Had a Bad Game?

For those who want to bash Cox, I hope you watched the FSU-Miami game tonight.

Anyone with a brain stem knew that Cox would struggle in his first real start as the leader of this team. You guys lost so much on O, of course your gonna struggle. Im thinking that AU will turn it around and still have a good year (9-3) or something. But I dont know, sometimes fans expect to much.

i.e. Bama in 2000, they lost a ton in the backfield and was still expected to go 12-0 or something.....i think they finished a whole 3-8 or 3-9, something really bad.

In other words, your QB is young and will only get better. Your coach has proved that he can win, give him time....dont fire him yet.

I watched both games but don't get your point. Is it that other QBs can have bad or worse nights so that makes Cox's performance better? That doesn't seem logical to me.

Cox did have a bad night regardless of what others may have done. The question is why did he have a bad night, and how can it be corrected. IMHO Cox was not ready to be the entire offense. We abandoned the running game without every giving it a chance. Cox was hit numerous times, hurried his throws, and was intercepted too many times. He should have held the ball and taken the sack rather than rush a throw. BUT, he should have be allowed to rely on the running game to help keep him out of the situation the coaches put him in. Getting behind 10-0 early in the game is no reason to completely abandon the game plan. I guess his success throwing in the second quarter (a brilliant performance btw) gave the coaches too much confidence in our passing game. The rest is history.

As a general overview, I thought CTT's early comments (although he might wish he had not said them) were borne out in the game. Man, we have some excellent talent and speed. What we lack is experience. We'll get better. I hope we can get by with Ws on our home games coming up so that we may develop both experience and confidence.

WAR EAGLE!

Then I guess you aren't a reasonably knowledgeablre FB fan (just kidding) :big:

My point was that bothe FSU and Miami had heralded QBs making thei first starts also. And you see the results. When is the last time you saw FSU and Miami only score one TD in a game?

If you have further questions, please direct them to my new attorney, AUEsquire :big::big:

Hey, send retainer money this way, and I'll handle your Tennessee work. Maybe you just want to direct deposit? *grin* Hey, on a serious note, it's good to fuss with, pick at, or otherwise communicate with you again this year. WAR EAGLE!

Yeah it's fun as long as people keep it in perspective. Sometimes I forget to do that. We should all run our thoughts thru that filter between our brain (thoughts) and our fingers (typing). Sometimes I forget to do that. ;)

I like what I see from Cox. Good times ahead for this team. The Defense was the glaring weakness to me throughout the game.

Cox made mistakes, but you have to expect that from a inexperienced quarterback making his first start. However, the defense is what really has me concerned. I know we have the talent and depth, but where was the coaching. I still can't understand why no pressure was put on Reggie Ball? In my opinion, it was the defense that lost the game. Cox was in a hole before he even took a snap. They walked right over our defense the first two series.

I thought we overpursued on defense. All of the defenders were on the side of the field the runner was on. What would we do if they ran a reverse?

I saw some excellent play on offense and defense. What I didn't see was consistently good play by either. We'll need it to win this week.

I'm still waitin' on that big retainer check you been promising Proud. Another day, another freebie!! :big:

As for the FSU/Miami game, I thought Weatherford was just awful. The Miami kid actually looked real good at times and had some bad drops that might have got him off to a great night. FSU's defense just swarmed him as the game went on to the point he had no time at all to throw. I'd have to say he'll be a good one by season's end. FSU has issues at QB though.

I watched...didn't see a single late hit on either team which was shocking for that rivalry...

Cox will get better the majority of his mistakes came with two guys in his face, the thing that killed me was the line on both sides of the ball was a strength or so I thought. maybe we foucesed to much on the rb's picking up the blitz we didnt spend enough time on line assignments or something. As for our D i say 5 down linemen to stop eating the ball in the middle which was just depressing at times.

If FSU could win that game there is NO reason to blame your loss on the QB. I think they quite well proved that you don't need a spectacular performance from your QB to win.

I'm sure it'd help though...
