A lot of folks on here blasting CJP--understandable....
But I'm just wondering why in the "working like heck" didn't Chaney make adjustments to take advantage of Arkansas' defensive scheme in the 2nd half?
I mean it was OBVIOUS that Arkansas changed their defensive plan in the 2nd half to stop our run and force us into being one-dimensional on offense and that stupid, overpaid, empty-headed idiot just kept running the ball into the teeth of a defense that was slanting to our strong side and that had walked up 10 players to within 6 yards of the LOS with a 1-high Safety--who was only playing 10 yards off the ball!
Bootlegs, misdirection, screens, slants, and running your TE down the seams all were wide open patterns and you have to give your players a chance to take advantage of
the opportunities that present themselves. And why isn't Chaney running the "bunch" formation and dragging those guys across the face of the LBs while he runs the RB out into the flat behind them to create some opportunities for big plays if they don't want to throw the ball down the field.
Our Defense actually played their asses off tonight--and made enough stops in the 2nd half to provide the offense with multiple chances to get us back in the game!
The last I have heard--CJP DOESN'T CALL THE OFFENSIVE PLAYS!
You can correct me on that point if I'm wrong here.
I mean--Chaney running 4 verticals on 3rd and 6 is just danged stupid.
And how come that 1.8 million dollar OC failed to throw the ball to Gray out of the backfield on 1st or 2nd downs in the 2nd half when Arky made it
CLEAR that they weren't gonna allow us to run the ball anymore?
I don't care what you think about Pruitt--unless you can prove to me that he's RIDIN' HERD on CHANEY---that loss to Arky weighs heavy on Chaney's shoulders!
And, YES, I heard CJP's STUPID REASON for not kicking the FG late in the 4th while down by 11.
He said we were out of range---but NO, that is certainly NOT TRUE!
Cimaglia had already kicked a 50 yarder with some room to spare, and I think it was 4th and 4 at Arky's 29 or 30 yard line.
Just plain stupid.
And I don't know what's happened to Maurer--but it's obvious that he's an empty-headed and clueless out there.
Psychiatric meds can do that to people--no criticism here for that, but it's obvious that he's completely LOST.
THE ONLY option we have is to give BAILEY 100% of the reps in practice to get him ready for the games and let JG come off the bench in relief for the rest of the season.
I can't see us beating anyone left on our schedule except maybe Vandy.
GO VOLS!
