What can we do different?

[madkin91991]

Obviously we have shown how good we can be the past few weeks. I really thought we would take care of business tonight. Will played as well as he could, receivers just dropped too many balls. Thank God Sam Williams leaves. I didn?t think he would have the impact he did. Thoughts?

Drink heavily and talk about our baseball Natty.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

Score more than 6 points in 4 redzone trips in the first half. Don?t miss wide open TD to Polk. Don?t drop 3 consecutive, non contested TDs. Don?t miss a chip shot FG. That last drive of first half swing the pendulum

Well this about covers most of it. One thing that leach must do is teach Will how to go long. When we get down this O isn't designed to make a comeback against good teams.

Ole miss had 1 dlinemen between our tackles at times. You have to run it.

The oline did ok, not great, from what I saw. Will was actually slightly off all night, and regressed to being a bit slow making decisions. Our receivers were having to make great catches when they normally would be making routine ones. This offense is so dependent on the QB making inch perfect deliveries and getting rid of the ball FAST, when the QB is off even slightly, it's never good. It's the main reason Leach has the record he does, which is good, but not great.

I know the game is made up of a lot of little plays. But I?m telling you, not getting a TD as the half ended deflated the stadium.

Tell Will to stop trying to do too much.

Get a kicker.

Get 2-3 EDGE pass rushers that can cause havoc.

He made some really bad throws. Outside of our mesh routes, he gets in trouble

It would be nice to have one now.

[William Tecumsah Sherman]

Having and edge rusher would make the defense a lot better. We only get pressure with blitzes

[Bothrops]

We need DE's, LB's, DT's, DE's and Safeties.

We need DE's, LB's, DT's, DE's and Safeties.

I agree even though you said DE twice. We have a bunch of guys that profile as DT's or MLB's and our safeties are just below average although tonight was one of their better games.

As a result we are good at stopping the run in general but are not good at causing havoc. We don't create very many turnovers or get enough sacks and TFL's. We need to improve that going forward.

Was this the first game you've watched this season?

Watched every single game. When the longest pass is 44yds and that was against Tenn State and before that I think it was 33 yeah Will needs to learn when to go long.

We had passes of 42 and 37 against Arkansas. Kinda curious if you watch Auburn / Arkansas games at all honestly.

It felt like Will the first half of the season. Some people think that Leach doesn't care about rivalry games and doesn't have the team ready. But I actually think we were too amped up on offense and it caused problems with our timing. Next year I hope he emphasizes everyone doing their job and they can't stop us on the offensive side of the ball.

To this uneducated eye, I thought Will played a little out of character. Pressed too hard for the bigger plays. And on some of those passes, he wasn't close to being accurate. Not blaming Will at all. We were still in position to score. We got the big momentum TD before half against AU. Last night, we dropped 3 TD passes for that big momentum TD before half.

My thoughts on doing something different......

Mississippi State University needs to find a way to raise the profile of the football program. This football program is just always a step or two behind OMs football program. State has to get better in recruiting.

After a full two seasons, I am not convinced this offense is some secret weapon or magic bullet that elevates the talent profile. We still need players with stones that want the ball in their hands, when the other team is playing well and the game is on the line. We need speed and size on defense regardless of the offense. We need a damn kicker that isn't a choker.

We shall see how Leach and Company finish in recruiting. However if State doesn't do more to get serious about the football program, State will always lose to Alabama and only beat OM in years that OM is down. I've just seen to many different coaches and players and seasons to think anything different will occur (regardless of some magical offense) unless State just flat out gets better players or OM has a really down year.

That's debatable, but carry on.
