"Pass first offense" narrative

[chef dixon]

And needs to "adapt his system to his players," needs to stop being pushed. We ran the ball 63% of the time this year and that includes being blown out 4 times. Jovester just does not know what he is doing, plain and simple. No innovation, slow pace, its so painful to watch.

[RiverCityDawg]

Yes, we ran 63% of the time and the offense sucked because it's designed to work off the pass. If the passing element isn't there, there isn't enough variety in the run game to just call run plays all the way down the field and have success. Joe said this himself during last season. He has so far not been able to adapt because this offense is the only thing he knows or is interested in running.

Lat year's gameplan against Auburn was beautiful. It's what we need to do more of. Regardless of who planned that game.

Price in the post game interview asked Joe about lack of a passing game. Joe said we had guys open all night but we were doing so well on the ground game he didn't want to get pass happy. I'm not buying that. We could have possibly humiliated ole miss with three more touchdowns putting the game out of reach for a stupid penalty and lucky ass PAT miss.

We need receivers. Badly. Thanks Billy.**

This. The creativity in the run game MUST be expanded

[Coach34]

It's actually not about WR's or any of that. It's SEC defenses adapting to the RPO's pre-snap.

If you watch now- SEC defenses are giving us run reads by putting 5 in the box and having 6 for the pass. Bama and OM did it to us and it's why we remained so run heavy against both. Both games combined- we were 81 runs to 35 passes- almost 69% runs even tho we trailed Bama the entire game. Thats why we spend so damn much time doing the Check with Me's because we try to figure out where the 6th or 7th men are going to come from. We will continue to get 5 man boxes with defenders running down at the snap until we just line up and run some damn plays or incorporate more motion into the offense

I agree with this...call the damn play and run it.

[timotheus]

So when does someone sit the guru down and explain? This is very obvious from watching in the stands. Nice post Coach34

[Todd4State]

Oh we also have no real deep threat. And Guidry had seven drops last year.

We should be able to run against five though. Especially if we have a TE.

and we have been for the most part- but they have guys running into the box at the snap which makes it inconsistent.

37/188 vs Bama. 44/210 vs OM. When was the last time we averaged 5.1 per carry vs Bama? But this is how the passing game is being limited is all I'm saying. We are getting run reads pre-snap over and over

That dumshit got pass happy right before halftime when we were shoving the ball down their throat and he decides to call 3 straight pass plays. He just couldn't help himself.
