Re: Boys, Dabo is going to have our team motivated to run

We couldn’t get pressure on the Wake Forest QB; what have you seen that makes you believe we can get pressure on a QB that has a better OL? And are you seriously pinning your hopes on another player who has never been able to stay on the field??? I really don’t want to hear one single word about Xavier Thomas until he is IN THE GAME. With him I will believe it when I see it.

I never EVER thought I would be saying this, but if it weren’t for DJU and our NFL-quality place kicker our season would probably be over now (just like Oklahoma). And even on a day where he played his best game, DJ was often hand-cuffed by terrible, gutless play calling. Whoever called the plays on the last two series of the first half in the red zone should never be allowed to call another play here. We should have had two touchdowns.

At this level can we really afford to give the OC and DC a whole season for on-the-job training? Goodwin is a disaster. Please Dabo, swallow your pride, go back to work and hire a DC who is up to the job!!!

Yes, Dabo will have them motivated to run but, they didn't achieve great success. There were a good many occasions when they would run two out of three downs and wound up with too many third and long situations. Wasted time, effort, and energy. I wish Dabo would would throw his play sheet in Lake Hartwell and hire a qualified play caller. I am tired of seeing the same worn out plays for years that continue to produce no positive yardage. There is hardly any diversity in play calling. As well as DJ is throwing the ball, they easily could score 2-3 more touchdowns by eliminating those up the middle with Shipley and DJ for losses or no gainers. Not one pass with a slant across the middle that has produced success each time. The play when they send the tight end straight down the field also produces success might be used once a season. In addition, the short slant, used to throw to Renfrow, with tremendous success, is seldom seen in short yardage situations on third down. As I watch other teams play, there is much diversity used in play calling. The clock is more irrelevant with a 30-40 point margin.
Come on Dabo, open up the play book, calling. You are just way to conservative and stubborn. Even though your formula for success is wonderful, and I am grateful, it could be made easier rather than nail biting.
