Can we talk about the blitzes we were sending at the end of the game and why those weren’t happening at the beginning of the game?

It’s like we started running an entirely different defense.

As bad and crazy as this season has been, I wouldn't be totally shocked to hear Pruitt was calling plays at the end. Play calling seemed to be much more aggressive in year one with him calling plays.

While that may be true, that’s nothing but a hit piece right down to the title! Dude even says after the tweets, “that has to be what he means, right?”

These words are coming from Pruitt though if you read the linked tweets...he’s literally throwing his own OC under the bus.you don’t do that kind of S**t publicly.ultimately he’s the HC make an adjustment.the problem is this year he’s showing 100% he can’t.Jim chaney is not a bad OC,not this bad anyways.we all remember him when he had Tyler bray..this is 100% Pruitt..

All true Suave, but at this point, he Chaney doesn’t even have a crompton or Simms! JC is straight handcuffed. agree tho, it all falls on JP.

To anyone on here I called bad names when they accused Pruitt of being undercover for bama to secretly sabotage this university!...I’m extremely sorry and I have a 50$ gift card for you to Texas Roadhouse 🧡🤍

Pruitt doesn’t know what he wants.... he says early in the year we need to run run run now when that isn’t working it’s “we aren’t aggressive in our calls” Chaney is working with someone who’s impossible to work for. Also I’m in the camp Chaney is washed as well.

If Pruitt did take over play calling duties I don't see it as a bad thing. Imo its no different than coaches who call their own offense. It would also let Ansley focus on coaching the DB's in game, and he could be in charge of the D line rotations since there isn't a position coach for that spot.

Vrabel doesn’t even have a DC... of course Titans defense sucked and took 8 games to get right, but it’s possible

HB was put into a tough situation as a fr. Making check downs to a RB vs a prevent defense that ranks close to the top in takeaways, was good decision making. He clearly looked down field and made the best decision. He had us in scoring range with about 30 seconds on the clock. Had we chose to kick a FG earlier......

Took the easy plays, but hated he didn't play to win more. Or that was possibly the coaches telling him to, who knows? Even the commentators said on air we were doing exactly what Arky wanted us to with the dump offs.

He has thrown 3 balls in 13 attempts that ended in hitting the opponents' hands. He is just a FR though...is what it is. Long way to go for him and he will be just fine. But rn the entire QB room is just not good. If our OL and RBs were as expected it might be ok, but they aren't very good either. Just sad all around.

Outside of bombing to Hyatt and Palmer, we just have no real threats smh

If we're being real, he never should have let Ansley do it. I may be in the minority but I don't have a problem with a HC calling plays. The defense may have been better in year two but I just feel the play calling was better with Pruitt.

I believe you are correct. It’s because Arkansas had not seen those defensive schemes from us..... I seriously think Pruitt started calling the defense. I think he tried to be hands off and let Ansley call the defense but he had, had enough of it.
