Neither of those takes are wrong.

I quoted you but was really talking just in general to the board. Sorry I have a bad habit of doing that.

Our QB should know what's coming since everyone of us does. How does Fitz not see the safety blitzing straight at him from ten yards behind the L.O.S.?

The guy was running full speed into his main field of vision and Fitz just stood there. You act like Fitz is Tyler Russell. At the very least he could of gone to the outside and I don’t know used his 4.4 speed to make a guy miss. They sent 9. No way in hell our line was going to block that. Hell, it’s the same play that lost us the Alabama game last year. Alabama’s OL couldn’t block that play last year but Hurts was slippery enough to evade the rush long enough to spot the wide open receiver. Getting sacked like that just tells you all you need to know about Fitz and his pocket awareness as a passer.

Makes me think he might of had a concussion. Never want to speculate on injuries like that but the last time I saw a QB not being able to react to the most obvious blitzes was when Eli took 9 sacks in the first half on a MNF game. He had a concussion and the Giants were late on identifying it. He didn't play the second half.

Reminded me of Wayne Madkin running out of bounds at LSU in Overtime to end the game with a 3 yard loss. There is no reason not to just chunk the ball like a punt at that point in time. If they intercept and return it for a TD, still doesn't matter because the game is over.
I think Fitz was just bird dogging one receiver and wasn't checking off. He either didn't recognize the possibility of a blitz which is dumb considering its Grantham or he was intent on throwing to one guy who had one on one coverage.
Fitz like it or not just doesn't understand this offense right now. Even against non SEC defenses, he still didn't look great.

He's not laughing that we lost. He's not laughing that Nick got his ass drilled into the ground. He's laughing at the tweet where someone said Hold R2 and the square button... referring to saftey blitz on PlayStation. Which I guess maybe a sort of chuckle, but I probably wouldn't have tweeted about it.

I'm ignorant in the ways of all things tweet -- and generally agree that trying to discern a young person's motives in posting something on social media is like jumping headfirst into the abyss -- but I read the dude's laughing-face-emoji things differently than everyone else. When I clicked the link and saw the words "Relentless Effort" in the original Florida tweet without even watching the video, I assumed that's what spurred Leo's reaction -- he was laughing hysterically at the recycled, played-out Mullenism that's alive and well in Gainsville. Hell, it even made me chuckle, too. But then after coming back to the thread and reading all y'all's takes, it looks like I'm the only one who read it that way.
After reading this thread, I can certainly see how Leo likely chose the wrong context -- sack of your QB on a game-losing play in a game that included his own dropped pick six -- to mock the Strain Train to Efforttown. But at first blush, at least, mocking the Mullenism makes more sense than mocking his own team, especially if other players on our team liked (or retweeted (or whatever)) it.
That's how it looks to me, anyway. Of course, I could totally be wrong and dude could be acting like a giant ass and throwing his team under the bus.

I was just about to post this when I read your post. I can't believe it took until the 3rd page of comments before someone said it. I'm 50 years old and I knew what he was laughing at. I also wouldn't have tweeted it but I don't understand a lot of things that 18-22 year old people do or tweet. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me to find out Gay was sitting by Fitz when he tweeted it.

Oh, that's another angle I hadn't considered. That may be just as or more likely than the read I got when I first saw it.

Watch the video again. Fitz is staring straight at the guy blitzing him from ten yards out and doesn't react one bit to it. He definitely saw the guy.

I saw that at the game. Literally no one within 30 yards of him. Made me sick seeing that.

Supposedly grown men attempting to interpret and getting upset over our players, or recruits' tweets is pretty ridiculous in itself.

It just seemed like Fitz was stuck in quicksand or something. Like he couldn't move. Unreal!

The Oline actually did a great job on the blitz. Kylin gets his man on the ground also. That delayed blitz is on Fitz, he has to read that and know he is coming.

What's to interrupt? He's laughing at the play that ended the game for us. Nothing funny about it to me. I like to win
