I agree, I do not think Hazle has learned how to attack a defense yet and it is limiting us. Where are the 7 yard outs and the comeback routes? Nico has the arm to make the throws; I feel like all we do is hand the ball off and throw it 40 yards, there is no in between.that game as a whole wore on Nico, not having time due to your OT barely wanting to block. He slammed his head on the turf pretty hard a few plays before on that drive. Ultimately, Nico has to throw it up and give his guys a chance. Im not gonna sit here and blame it all on him like some people on this forum are going to. Hes young and made an in-the-moment mistake. TBH when he went out of bounds, i thought there was atleast 1 second on the clock until i looked. But play calling has to get better. Just running the football and doing WR screens is not going to win you alot of football games in this league. I think having Golesh and Jeff Lebby in the past really helped CJH because it gave the offense a twist. They knew how to read a defense and how to attack it. I feel like Halzle up in the booth doesnt have that. We all thought it was just Joe Milton last year, but it seems its the same offense and playcalls this year.
That last people that game falls on is the D. They can only be called on so much. They were on the field all game.the last play is not what cost us that game, it was the preceding 30 plays that were not TN quality plays that cost. Not to mention Arky drove down the field on our defense the series before and score to take the lead. Our defense needed to get a stop and could not.
If the pass had been completed for a Touchdown, they would have taken the penalty and we would have had another chanceI'm no expert on the rule about offensive lineman down field, but it looked to me like both the RG & RT released down field when Nico was flushed out of pocket. I wonder if he had thrown it, it would have just been a penalty regardless.
I saw Jeremy Pruitt start the same QB a week after he single handedly lost us a game at Alabama. This play did not directly lead to a loss but it left us with no opportunity but to lose. I don't believe you start a QB the next week after either of those two types of things. Gotta have a QB who will not do something like that after having played at least 6 years of football. Any high school team has to have a QB that will not do either of those two things and would be benched if he did.Settle down, my guy.
