Has Butch, DeBordinator and Azza been sandbagging the throw game?

I've seriously thought about boycotting the rest of the season if we lose to Florida this year. But I say that every year and I end up sticking it out (although mostly kicking and screaming in recent years)


Anyone else like that

I wonder if some of the seige on our OL comes from the fact that teams are using a #1 Stack the box to stop the run #2 Since you're in there, attack the QB with #s since you're already up there, #3 All while trying to keep Dobbs from getting out. Appy did a great job of it.

I haven't watched all the O plays with that in mind. But, if I were and DC, that would prob be my scheme until TN showed the ability to beat it

It does appear that both opponents played up. The rush 3 drop 8 into zone calls have been pretty effective in taking away the short stuff Dobbs does well. They are vulnerable deep but that is a weakness for Dobbs even if he gets time. Both seemed to spy Dobbs or else have their short zone guys double as checks against Dobbs taking off.

Until Dobbs proves he can throw downfield using all parts of the field, D's are going to do this.

Anyone else ready to see Jennings absolutely humiliate Jalen Tabor? Jennings is imo the toughest guy on the team. He's a dog.

I do think they've said something to Dobbs about running. He hasn't taken off much. Which is silly as that would neutralize our lackluster OL play. I get the feeling they haven't really opened the playbook these first two games in order to deny sec opponents film to review and keep Dobbs alive. I really hope they're holding back because otherwise we're in for a lot of trouble.

Like they don't have enough film from last year?

Josh Dobbs will make an NFL team (D4H is right) so it's hard to believe that he's thrown for a buck fifty in two games. That's including two nice bombs to Malone.

Surely, SURELY Butch, the DeBordinator and Azza, the "throw-game" coordinator, have been sandbagging the offense, especially the throw-game, ready to open the floodgates and unleash hell on the Gauntlet starting with those miserable Gators?

O-line cannot be this confused, receivers have to be better than last year, Dobbs can ball. It should be no trouble finding the missing 17-points.

I think the Big 3 have been holding back the Smokeys waiting to shock and awe the Gators. I think they've tried to reel in emotions to start the season waiting to rain nukes on the Gators and let that emotion carry them through the Gauntlet.

I hope so. If there ever was a must win game, it's 24-Sep.

absolutely no way dobbs makes an nfl team as a qb. A. he cant be trusted to make accurate throws in the middle of the field B. unless hes a high draft pick, and he wont be, hes probably going to just continue his pursuit of being an aerospace engineer.

jennings is only half of the equation. someone has to get him the ball for him to be able to destroy tabor and thats going to be a challenge.

The sand bagging is real. I can't believe it but it's real. We have yet to run the speed sweep and we have yet to use the TE over the middle. These two plays alone will drastically open up our offense. Once we start running these plays, the DE's will have to stop pinching down and the LB's will have to hesitate before crashing the line of scrimmage. Running these few simple plays will make life much easier on our OLINE and Hurd. I fully expect to see Bryd/Kamara and Wolf to play much bigger roles when Florida comes to town.

surely seems there is a degree of not showing but when you factor in the speed that opposing defensive linemen are getting in our backfield it kinda negates any truth to such an idea. sad as it is, more than one poster has stated that our coaches aren't that smart. i'm gonna quit posting due to this negativity. i simply sipped on too much hype and expectations....while forgetting who our salesman..er coach is.

Of course they're sandbagging. Will show just enough to win every game by a close margin and then turn it loose in the NC game or next year. We may not have to show everything ever again.

Per the grapevine, they are going to wait to the LSU game to open up the playbook. As I recall, that is sometime in November of 2017.


After the Dooley years, it feels good to have a plan again.

Not sandbagging but minimal play book usage. Just go back to the Northwestern game! With all the returning starters we have, we have left alot in the tank! We will be 3-0 going into the fluriduh game and they will not have seen half of our playbook (offense, defense, AND special teams) Sit back and enjoy the W's

Like they haven't seen it all before. But I'll hope you are right and we hide what has been called an offense, and Dr. Jekyll comes out of hibernation in a couple of weeks - with an abnormally foul disposition.

I'd love to be a defensive coordinator and play us. Shut down Hurd and put my best cover guy on Malone. Game over.

VT tried that. Dobbs ran for over 100, Kamara hit them for 6 from the flat and Jennings made a beast catch in the corner of the end zone. Bud Foster been doing this a long time. He lost.
