Those sorry running plays that amount to zero yards. Sorry zone reads or look like zone reads that the QB never keeps to keep them honest. A freshman RB expected to perform like a senior. And we wonder why he's injured. These plays don't work. Good coaching plays to strengths. Good coaching spreads the ball around to different players. Notice I said spread. Are we even running that?

Do you even watch the games? Are you sober if you do? All of those sweeps and wide receiver hitches and screens are designed to spread the field. Our problem is that our line can't block the D linemen on the other side. It is as simple as that. No play calling is going to work without blocking.

If we banned stupid posts most of Volnation would be taking a break from the site for a couple of days after this game.

I thought in the post game they said he was "banged up a little bit" but came back in the game and would be fine.

What? He is a food RB but has been banged up.. Again, he was on crutches this week and probably shouldn't have played today but had to once Hurd got injured.

You're right, he is a really "food" running back!

In reality I have been really underwhelmed by him this year. He has been slow and the only reason why his stats reflect 3.2 yards per carry rather than 2.0 is because Tom Smith is gone and Marlin has taken his spot as garbage time RB.

His 4.7 speed combined with this O Line are a recipe for disaster.

Yep. That simple. I wasn't talking about the hitches or screens. I'm talking about fake zone reads or true zone reads. I'm talking about looking at the lb like you might have a QB keep when the whole world knows you aren't. I'm sorry that doesn't work. It never has worked. Hurd is getting crushed. No one back especially a freshman can keep that up. Especially when you can't squeeze out a yard on it. I know what I'm watching and so does everybody else that's watching the same rerun. I repeat. It don't work. It didn't work last year with the NFL Oline we had.

Oh yeah it's the olines fault when you're moving the ball and you up and decide to pull a wildcat out your butt. Trick plays when you're moving successful with this young team doesn't work. He's causing confusion under fire. Scre@ you it's my opinion. Dammit everyone else has one.

Lane is banged up too and was on crutches this week at practice. We could be looking at 4-8 if both of these guys are not healthy

Why is Georgia 6th string RB better than any of ours Except Hurd? Lane is not even an ave back by SEC standards. IF Hurd or Worley get hurt- it will be 4-8. This nightmare never ends.

This wussy OL is gonna get our whole backfield killed before it's over.

Can't understand why our defense plays with so much passion and attitude and our offensive line plays like grade school girls. A lack of talent can be hidden with effort to some extent but I've seen play after play where our tackles have failed to even touch the man lined directly across from them. Just complete whiffs. I don't know how it's even possible but it obviously is. Just baffling

Off to the golf course this morning but I awoke madder than I went to bed. I too have watched our olinemen not even touch their player, footwork was atrocious. No way we should have lost that game yesterday. We got the Worley of old, end zone interception, fumbles and off target. Muschamp running his mouth. I better get to the course I can feel my temples pulsating.
