Everybody saying bench DJ

For who? Taisun? He came in but he's not going to win any of these games either. It's not like we gave some glaring answer behind DJ.
Also, my question is how is this not obvious to the coaches when this offense practices against this defense everyday. The way they play, has our offense even got a yard in practice? You would think they would know in practice because it would be obvious the offense sucks. Maybe they just think because the defense is so good that's why.
DJ is going through something, maybe his parents, maybe something else, IDK, but if you know football you can see it. He's staring down receivers, not going through progressions, mechanics are terrible no touch on passes. But the problem is that he's done all of those things before great. So he's regressed. It makes me wonder what's going on with him. But all these people just claiming he sucks and get him out of here need to sit down.

When you have dozens of ex players say on TV that we have issues with our scheme and playcalling over and over and over, at what point do you acknowledge the problem is scheme and playcalling?

Possible that the vanilla offense is all DJ can run

And he's struggling to do that. Running something more complicated would just confuse him more.

Unfortunately our offense has been vanilla the last few years. We were able to overcome that with elite talent. We have 4-5 plays that we run over and over on the same sequence of downs. It’s really not that hard to defend the play when you know exactly what’s coming.

TP is as prepared to play as Hollywood. I don’t know how his injury might hinder him from making some plays but we are not getting a Clemson performance from big Dave’s boy! Clemson has to many good and proven coaches to allow this to happen. I sure hope yesterday’s injuries aren’t serious?

You absolutely have to give Taisan a shot. Saying he can’t win these games without seeing what he can do is total BS. Just the fact the he’s a better runner , could make a huge difference. We haven’t seen him play any extended time . We have seen DJ for 4 games this year and it’s not good. Too slow, not willing to keep it on a zone read, inaccurate throwing, and just doesn’t have those intangibles that it takes . He’s a total bust at this point!!!

DJ might not be a hot commodity right now. I’m not sure he would be desired by a quality program.

Then so be it, if he transfers then that is up to him that will show show the he is not a team player. But we have to try something different.

Doesn't have to be for the whole game. Why not a series or two and let someone else try to move this archaic TE offense.

That should have happened yesterday, mid second quarter, but the coaches have no balls.

Throw to #8 for the TD - he didn’t even go down to the EZ and high five him or anyone else. He’s a head case.

You are dead on turfman. You don't know what you don't try. Swinney has always said 'next man up'. Well that should apply also to 'let's try the next man up'. He has always prided in the number of players who play in a game. Something is wrong with Swinney's lack of commitment beyond DJ5. Sit hima a series or two, or three. Get the NIL crap out of his head.

YOU haven't seen Taison -He practices with the team everyday

[ in reply to Re: Everybody saying bench DJ ] |

He has been seen. And he isn't starting. Its not like DJ has been our starter for the last 3 years. This isn't about loyalty to a senior. He won the job because he's obviously the best. There was no battle for the starting position. And everyone on our team and coaching staff agrees.

If he’s the best we might as well pack it in. I can’t think of a single QB in our stellar conference that has played worse this year.

As for DJ5, it goes back to the presser after the Georgia game. The only player who came out for interviews, dressed in a three-peice suit, loaded with jewelry, wearing a fedora and doing personal grooming during the interview. Maybe too much time before and during games thinking about NIL contracts. C'mon DJ. Step Up. Be a Tiger. Or next man up and let's get ready for the future.

Unfortunately, from what I can see, there isn't a better option out there. If anything, get rid of Streeter and find someone that can develop DJ. Obviously there are more issues with this putrid offense but that would be a start.

Don’t know if this is true…

But I heard during spring, Davis, Bresee and a few others were “benched” during practice because the offense couldn’t do anything.
I agree with you about Taison but not for the same reason. I don’t think he succeeds because it would be the same crappy plays behind the same bad o-line. The only thing he might be able to do would be scramble and that will only work until he gets injured again.

DJ is playing to his potential. The problem is that he should br playing for a division 2 school. Not everyone lives up to there hype, he just doesn't have the talent. He looks like a deer in the headlights out there, he's scared, no drive, no leadership on the field. Dabo's ego will not allow him to pick someone up from the portal or make a coaching change. He does't want to hurt someone feelings. Unfortunatly whats going to change this is for one of our top players Ross, Brisee etc to enter the portal saying this isn't what i was promised. Players are not being held accountable and we are loosing because of it. I am out of here. If it gets to that the program will be set back 15 years. Go Tigers and make major changes. We have nothing to loose now.

The thing people don’t realize, is we are limited in play calling , because DJ is too slow to effectively run the zone read . The Defensive end doesn’t respect the fact that he may keep it and if he does he knows he can recover and track him down. It’s the foundation of our running game and thus the foundation of the offense!!! So , at least with a quicker QB you can effectively run the zone read. Saying things won’t be any different with Taisun, is crazy. He’s got a different skill set. We won’t know until it’s tried, but DJ isn’t going to get it done with the tools we have now . There’s no Etiene back there. Heck we’re down to 3 running backs. It’s going to be a long year folks.

Well look at the spring game. TP was out playing DJ with the white team before he got hurt. And then he removed faster then anyone I’ve seen, which tells me . That he has fight in him. He has desire , self motivated. DJ has none of that. And yes it’s on the coordinator. But I have eyes, and DJ is playing scared. The game is to fast and he isn’t ready. You will ruining him . He has to many issues to fix in season. Bench him. TP maybe another Kelly Bryant. But Kelly won a lot of games for us. GO TIGERS!!
