I think Nico needs to run a lot more, no?

Nico will get hurt if he runs more... not a first option.

Yes he needs to run a lot more to be more effective. I don't want him to get hurt, but if he does, right now we could play Gaston Moore or the true freshman Merklinger, and get similar results.

We were RPO/Spread in 2022
Now we are Spread

JUST MY TAKE

I have a feeling Josh has been keeping the playbook very vanilla all year, thinking he could get away with vanilla play calling and elite defense. Although he wasn’t 100% correct on that, we are 5-1 and in a good position. I expect 2022 like fireworks from the offense this week.

I think Nico needs to run a lot more, yes.

Actually they just need to get the balls out quickly. He doesn’t have time to get to third option. Sometimes when they pack the box, he has plays to the outside where he can run.

I don’t like the holding calls. Technically yes we were holding, but needs to be called both ways. Not just when we make a big play.

They could call holding on both sides every play. Just weird the other teams never seem to get called for holding. Arkansas and Florida had 0 holding calls if I am not mistaken.

Alabama ranks worse than us in penalties this year. If they do not get called for stuff against us, then I will be convinced there is a conspiracy.

Yes run run run and run

Very original thought. Haven't heard that one. Great idea.

At the risk of sounding dumb. Which I am. He is considered a picket passer first correct?

 

[SpecialKVolfan20]

It seems likev everytime especially last year, when he runs, it opens things up so much. Agree?

It sure ain’t pretty when he does.

They are going to break him like a twig and then we’ll really be in trouble.

Agreed, if given time he can be a monster. P{eople forget that Milton and Hooker were both 5th year seniors. Hooker was in his 4th year when he first took over. Nico (149 rtg) isn't that far behind senior UT Hooker (175.5) and is comparable to Miltons senior year (147) that's compared to 5th year guys folks.
