Matt Wyatt on Bo Bounds

[dawgday166]

Go take a listen to Matt today. Pretty insightful.

[Dawgs31]

Cliff notes?

[Dawgfan77]

Basically I?m not going to say anything to negative cause I work for the university but this offense isn?t working with Fitz or against the sec. also like we all have said. Needs to get the ball in hill and Williams hand

[ShotgunDawg]

Cliff notes:

Matt basically ran down how no one knows what they are doing & there is massive confusion between the WRs & QB. Hence Mitchell running a route directly into the official on the first INT.

Two thoughts:

1. Moorhead overestimated the football IQ & cognitive ability of this team. He's implemented this offense at other places in the Northeast & not had the same confusion in year 1. That has nothing to do with SEC defenses.

2. It should get better the longer the guys are in the system. Better see massive improvement next year or he needs to go.

[Cooterpoot]

Moorhead is not an SEC coach. You can keep defending this garbage but it's not going to improve.

[dawgday166]

Matt seeing what I saw when I rewatched LSU twice & FL 3 times. Fitz taking all the heat tho. One thing that jumped out at me too that people don't see .. 2 WRs in same vicinity quite often. I've seen that a few times and people thinking Fitz is "missing". Fitz is trying to keep pass from being picked when that happens and he's about to eat it otherwise.

Just like Croom said in 2004...

[BeastMan]

In the most diplomatic way possible he suggested playing KT making reference of how he came off the bench his senior year and gave a spark

[Cooterpoot]

You have to make a change at QB, but it's not going to matter. The real problems are still going to be there- shitalicious coaching.

[RiverCityDawg]

Just like Croom said in 2004...

True, but Moorhead at least has a history of implementing a successful offense at multiple stops before, unlike Croon. It's entirely possible he could do it again with the right personnel. (Yes, he's blown it this year. Yes, he is misusing players now. Yes, he isn't tailoring the offense to this team, which is a mistake. Etc).

May be his offense just looked so great because he had an all world RB, a great TE, NFL WRs and NFL Caliber QB.

[NWADAWG]

There were several times that I saw receivers wide open but Fitz through to a different receiver with tight or double coverage. At least one of those were a likely touchdown if open receiver gets it. A change in QB may not fix everything but it would matter.

I would like to see this offense run with a QB that can make reasonably quick reads and hit open receivers. He doesn't need to make the miracle throws just the throws you expect from an average college QB. Then we could see if the offense can work in the SEC. It may still crash and burn but right now we don't know. Right now there are too many variables that suck to know which variable has the greatest influence.

[ShotgunDawg]

Just like Croom said in 2004...

But Moorhead has track record.

The results are similar but the resume and track records aren't similar.

Again, you can choose to look at this intelligently or like a meat head

[ShotgunDawg]

Nah.

Many here (not me) have been saying how much TALENT we have on the offensive side of the ball. I never saw it.

Nah.

So Gun, those had nuthin to do with the execution against OSU??? Go watch the last TD catch by WR in 2017 game. C'mon mane!

I think you could be right here. I'm not sure we are going to be able to find the time if guys he wants to run his system from an intelligence standpoint. Not that it's so difficult, but he's obsessive about "attention to detail" and "precision". That's not really the SEC way - it's more about strength and toughness than finesse and out-smarting folks. He's probably excel at Vandy, but not sure if MSU is going to work. We'll see.

Mullen's offense ran precisely at times. Saban's & Smart's do too. Precision is necessary for good offenses to click.

[testuser]

I seem to remember many said Mullen's offense was too difficult for RBs to figure out and that is why many didn't play early. So JoMo offense so difficult nobody knows what they are doing? Not buying it.

My belief ... Go watch ULL. We looked precise there. But our scout team is as good or better than ULL. But when you do have somewhat complex concepts which are quite different in philosophy from what you've been doing for 4 years, there is an adjustment period. Add in the fact that practices are soft and not at game speed against the defensive 1s very often if at all, and when we show up and game speed is there, stuff starts breaking down under pressure.
