That's pretty interesting info, considering the OL situation and that we probably played against much tougher defenses. We just didn't do well in the red zone. CMB's fault or just a lack of execution?

I know it's not the majority vote but IMO it's 90-95% the OL/coaching. With just 25% better blocking throughout the year and IMO this UT team is closer to 9 wins than 6. IMO the play calling was affected ALOT by the OL play. The numbers IMO point to CMB doing just fine on his end. In the red zone UT should feel confident they can run the ball. That was not the case in 2014.

I'm not one to criticize playcalling typically, but I'm still irritated at CMB about one play this season that potentially cost us the UGA game.

Having a banged up Worley go under center for the first time all season in the endzone with a true freshman taking the hand off. Unbelievably dumb.

And although Mahoney is the OL coach, CBJ and CMB have the final call on who plays where. I still find it odd Kendrick got so little PT and that two true freshman starting next to each other was our best option.

Why do you guys let it go that far? Can't we all just get along?

Not true. We actually called more perimeter passes last year. All last season people complained about us not using quick slants, TE seam passes, etc... We attempted more passes over the middle this season than before. Ultimately, it wasn't that big of a difference. The playcalling both seasons has been about the same. But we've thrown inside more this season than last. My point is Bajakian didn't adjust the gameplans to compensate for poor blocking.

If I had seen adjustments from last season to this season I'd agree. But he's basically called the same offense no matter what the personnel was, the playcalling and gameplans were inconsistent at best, and there was very little playcalling to maximize talent/mask weaknesses. That is this season and last. That tells me something.

I don't remember that but if you looked that up, that's fine. All I'm saying is, I think that due to one thing or another, our offense has never been able to be truly operated. Our OL was awful, then our QB went down, then we had injury after injury to WRs. I agree that he doesn't do a great job of utilizing what talent he has but I expect there to be a come to Jesus meeting about that this offseason. I'm not saying I believe his is the best or even a decent one, I just think that let's get all our players back, our OL more experience and a mobile QB set in stone in this system and hold his feet to the fire next season.

Hart did it right. I am somewhat surprised.

I am going to just throw this out there. Blaming the players' performance on the O-line only on the players is getting it only half right. The other half does not deserve a raise.
