13' GA S Vonn Bell (Ohio State signee)

[BarrythesnoUT]

It happens to Richt every year, luckily for him GA produces 5 times the div 1 talent TN does.

If Richt were able to lock down GA, we'd be screwed.

 

[vol2013]

Richt should have already played for a couple of nc with the talent hes had. I see people compare him to Fulmer all the time, i agree they're similar in Fulmers latter years, but Fulmer could coach when he had the fire. They have a very good team returning this year and a soft schedule by sec standards, he'll still lose a game he shouldnt.

Everybody would be screwed. If Saban were at UGA instead of Bama he would be hell for real. At Bama he has to deal with Auburn for in state talent. At UGA he would go bananas with no in-state competition.

Speaking of different regimes, I've always wondered what your take is on the current staff. Do you think we are well equipped to succeed with who we have now, our would we be better off with a change?

That's going to be a hell game. Ready to watch their D vs our offense. We'll have problems if we can't run the ball again.

I think we have some very very good coaching taking place, the defense will have some issues making the transition, but thats to be expected. Ive never came out and said it, but i think CJC is the weak link, i wish he would take that wr sweep/reverse and stick it up his arse. 3 and 4 times a game is just crazy, 3 or 4 times a year is good. He has yet to show me he can game plan for a good defense. Good defenses will not allow for you to just throw all over them at will, no matter the wideouts you have. Last year he thought he would just waltz in and throw all over KY and blow them out, we see how that worked out, he had no back up plan, he was to confident. Thats my take.

I sure as hell hope so! If our front 7 plays well our corners will shut down their receivers and our offense will be able to do the rest.

Do you think Dooley is going to force him to do some things differently this year in terms of running the ball?

Very much so.

Chaney is the weak link. His playcalling versus Vandy, SCAR, and Kentucky was bad. The SCAR game we missed on the deep ball and he tried to call 9 routes the rest of the game like he was playing a video game. Then in the redzone he gives up on the run game. Instead of moving D.Rogers around he let the defenses get a bead on him. He hesitated to use Rogers as a decoy. With us struggling he knew defenses were trying to take away D.Rogers. He should've taken advantage of it and used him to create space for other players. The Vandy game when we ran the ball well he gave up on the running game in the redzone again. Kentucky game is just ridiculous period all around. Dooley deserves a lot of the blame for that BS too.

SN: Hinshaw's offense had a better flow to it than Chaney's in the spring game.

If Malcolm Mitchell and T.King are out there no they won't. Mitchell is a special player while King is no slouch. The young kid Conley showed nice skills against Florida and Wooten still has a lot of talent. UGA has a lot of talent coming back.

 

[onevol74]

I have to agree with you Skeeter. I have always said that Chaney does not understand the SEC is a run conference. The Hal Mummy experiment fails miserably in the conference.

 

[Scotty's Flat Top]

You think so? Urbie has won the SEC and National championship. I think he really knows how to build an SEC type of squad. That D-line he's putting together is straight SEC style.

You must not have seen the last time Urbie played UM... And that was when he had Tebow and Percy.

 

[Basevol23]

Chaney will be fine guys. You have to remember the youth and inexperience of our offensive line and backs the last couple of years. It's hard to run the ball effectively against much more talented and veteran SEC defenses with that working against you. Don't forget that Chaney has been a part of pro-style running offenses before, especially having coached at the rams for 3 years. He knows his stuff, it's just all about getting the right pieces of the puzzle together. With a more experienced OL, the addition of Tiny, and IMO talented backs that simply need to prove themselves, I expect to see a much improved running game this year. It'll only take a good, not great one with our passing attack.

P.S. I don't think we'll see near as many WR end arounds. We only used them because we needed something to jump start the run game because as you could see...we were getting stuffed

 

[Smokey1210]

Skeeter, do you think CJC should take the blame or do you think it is a combination of multiple things? I think he put plays in the Rogers was the 3rd read but our QBs confidence especially Bray was strictly in D Rogers. I think now that Vray has 3 wide receivers he trusts you will see a more balanced passing game. I also think now that our Oline has some man strength to it I think Bray will utilize it to his advantage because he knows it will open open his passing game for plays to come. I don't honestly think that CJC is in over his head. I think he knew what he was dealing with last year and chose to do the end arounds cause it was about the only way he could help keep the defense honest cause running the ball up the middle sure as hell was not working.

Who's got my old GW Bush "Didn't read LOL" GIF?

If you can remember what thread that was in I will go thru every post at work tomorrow hah that gif was hands down top 5 dead or alive.

 

[Benchwarmer]

If we don't do well offensively this year, and if Arkansas decides to go with a new coach and staff following this season, I would not mind replacing Jim Chaney with this guy.

Paul Petrino named to Razorback football staff - ArkansasRazorbacks.com - Official Site of Arkansas Razorback Athletics

But I'm hoping we will do well this year.

 

[The Breakerboy]

You must not have seen the last time Urbie played UM... And that was when he had Tebow and Percy.

That was with Joe Haden as a freshman. Wonder what they would've done against Florida the next year. Like I said, Urbie knows how to build a team. You may hate him but he's a good coach.

 

[ACvol3]

Ramsey to me, his size, speed, and freak athleticism for a CB is rare. Seems like you made it personal. Lol

I remember thinking Corn Elder was a bigger star in their game last year.. Ramsey is a great athlete though.

 

[ACvol3]

I have to agree with you Skeeter. I have always said that Chaney does not understand the SEC is a run conference. The Hal Mummy experiment fails miserably in the conference.

Our play calling was the closest to 50/50 in the conference.. He does a great job mixing it up... Even though we couldn't run the ball last year... If our players show they can execute, we will run the ball a lot.. He had to do what he had to do and play to our strengths.. Even though when hunter went down and bray was hurt, we didn't have many strengths... Our guys just could not move the ball on the ground no matter the play calling.. Not Chaneys fault..

I hear you on the WR sweep/reverse -- I was sick of it as well (along with the mildcat formation that fooled no one -- ever). Those plays reminded me of how I got so sick and tired of Fulmer running it up the middle time after time even though it had yet to work all season. The only thing I can say in JC's defense is that he just plain did not have much to work with after JH and Bray went down. He was bringing a pea shooter to a gunfight.

I had a more significant gripe against him in that once he took the wraps off of Worley and sacrificed his RS year, he then did not stick with him to let him gain confidence and experience. That was indefensible, in my opinion. As much as he struggled at times, Worley was light years ahead of Simms, who gave us zero chance to win a game. The final straw was the KY game when he continued to play Bray when he could not hit his ass with both hands.

I think that when JC has something to work with, he is pretty good at getting mismatches in the passing game. When he found himself suddenly with only one temperamental WR, a QB who was an ultra-green true freshman who had been sleep walking as the 3rd string QB before being abruptly pressed into duty, and zero running game to fall back on, he really did not have anything to work with.

Let's see how well this goes over now that Skeeter has said it.

I said same stuff about Chaney needing to be "reigned in" by the head coach and people acted like I was Aleister Crowley

I don't think we've seen Chaney's offense, though.

I THINK he wants to run the ball more, just hasn't had the talent to do it.

You can blame personnel for only so long. I think CJC lost that excuse a while ago. He should have been able to do something last season. Play-calling was just bad a lot last season.
