Re: Dabo was the one who said this was his most talented team

I knew we were in deep doodoo when our beloved coach told the world preseason that this would be his most talented team yet. Ugh Oh! Anyone who watched the Spring Scrimmage could see that was a lie, Especially on the offensive side of the ball. After the Spring Scrimmage, I told a friend that the play calling for the scrimmage was so vanilla and bland that is was no wonder there were few points scored. DJ's team lost if I remember correctly. There were no passes to the middle of the field, no deep throws, just the monotonous pounding into the middle of the line over and over ad nauseum. I told my buddy right then that if this is what we see in the Fall, it is gonna get ugly. Then, WAHLA!!! That is exactly what we got in the Fall. RPO's up the middle, quick screens to the WR's, etc.,etc.,etc......which all adds up to statistically one of the WORST offenses in all of college football. We could see it coming while at the same time hoping that it would not happen. Sadly, It did!!

I think its leadership. This offense has no one to keep them

accountable and honest.

If someone runs the wrong route or is lazy and doesn't fend off an interception attempt, no one is there to chew them out other than maybe a coach. Too many passive personalities..at least from what i see on tv and interviews. Thats the most glaring thing i see.

When you have a team that is gaining intensity from other teammates it creates energy and the will to do well. When everyone acts like its no big deal then you'll get a team that thinks its no big deal. Guys like Boulware, Christian Wilkins, Trevor and Deshaun fed the intensity to win either by their example or their words on the field. If you gonna play soft do you think a Christian Wilkins ain't gonna ride you in practice until it pissses you off and you try to show him up to shut him up??

If Ross runs another bad route i wanna see DJ give him a look and correct him. B/c for all we know its the receivers being in the wrong spot. Dabo has said it multiple times that guys aren't running the right routes. But the problem will persist (if this indeed the problem) if DJ doesn't sack up and start demanding everyone start getting their crap together. And i've heard of no team meetings this week so i assume we'll be watching the same thing tonight.. sure hope not.
