Were you trying to wear me out by hitting me in the mouth repeatedly with your response? :) I agree with what you're saying for the most part, but I would like to see a little something innovative on both sides of the ball occasionally, especially on D.

i agree...i think every team should have at least a 5 wide receiver set that they can run or pass out of.

on D, you can do that stuff that the baltimore ravens do, where they literally have no down linemen. it seems like that would be extremely difficult to pick up blitzes that way; you have no idea where they're coming from.

I don't fault him for any of his runs up the middle. I don't expect him to get any yards when his offensive line is laying on the ground in front of him. Fulmer can't fix the running game. He can't fix the special teams. He needs to leave.

It's truly sad when a coach who played a specific position as an All-American, and yet that position contines to be a source of inferior performance year after year. Does anyone think Spurrier would allow the quarterback position to be a laughing stock of his team? No, he'd publically admonish them on national television as we've seen. He expected nothing but excellence at that position. Where is the pride? This has really bothered me alot about Fulmer, and is a testament to his lack of ability to coach and lead

ok i wasn't questioning your opinion or anything, just an honest question. i asked because i heard in interviews multiple times over the summer from ainge that foster was "the hardest worker on our team." i think fulmer made comments about his "outstanding work ethic." after his performance in a losing effort in the cal game, i thought he, ainge, and lucas taylor might emerge as real leaders and playmakers on our offense. obviously ainge is the undisputed leader, and lucas "butterfingers" taylor is close to dropping that nickname. he has made remarkable improvements.

discipline/focus is probably foster's problem. that is the only way to explain his fumbles in situations where they hurt the most. i was also struck by the fact that he didn't seem that upset after the fumble...they showed him on the sidelines afterwards kind of staring off into the distance in a daze. then ainge walked by and said something to him.

One thing it could be is also the coaches had made the change in running style. Cut and/or Fulmer might have thought that Florida was skeptible to cutbacks being young on D. None of the RB's hit the line running so its entirely possible that they were coached to look for cutbacks more than hit the primary gap hard.

seemed to me that he was convinced that he could get to the corner, but never really could.

It should have been obvious to the coaching staff, hell it was to the million's who watched, that no TN back was gonna make the turn so why let him keep trying?

Why run Cooker up the middle and Foster around end?

That isn't execution it is coaching.

it certainly looked that way. we did try to get Foster the ball on some swing passes, that would have eventually worked had we stayed at it.
