Surely it's not that hard for yall to figure out why we aren't running an "air raid" offense... Neal Brown doesn't have confidence in Brandon Silvers' control and consistency. You can see it by the play calling. Silvers gets rattled easily and isn't exactly the best at scrambling or making veteran decisions in those situations. Neal also won't put in Tidwell or Pruitt because he doesn't want to mess up the flow of the game since the O-Line and WR's are used to Silvers. The offensive play calling sucked in the important situations for the most part. Mix in a QB that stares down his receivers and you're BOUND for disaster. I do commend the defense for staying strong the whole game. They did give up some big plays, but they stiffened up near the red zone. And yeah, they may have given up that 4th & 2 on the last play, but you can only ask so much from a defense that is constantly on the field because your offense sucks and your receivers have butter fingers. That's the lamest excuse I've ever heard and if it's true then shame on the coaches. I guess football has changed because it used to be you earned your starting shot and if you didn't perform they went to #2

Why did we give it to Burks so much? I just don't understand that play calling. Dropped passes. QB missed reads, telegraphs his intended receiver, gets rattled quickly. Poor play communication. Chunn not available to take up some slack. With no apparent playmaker to get the ball to, Playcaller has little confidence by late 3rd qtr, has to play safe and hope for a break. +++~+++ The current O seems to lack speed, consistent line play and depth at key positions. Gotta get more touches to the Chunn's, J. Johnson's, Flakes' and Rubins. Gotta dig deeper in the lineup and find playmakers, could be a long season otherwise. 03-banghead

USA's MVP Brandon Silvers If he isn't getting the job done why not try Tidwell. Scoring 18 points against a average opponent won't get the job done. David, Silvers may have had one of his worse games but 6 times he put it right in the receivers hands AND THEY DROPPED IT! It's not all on Silvers even though he's was far from acceptable. Dang, had I been a coach on USA's side I would have had two defenders keying in Burks. You just flat can't go to one guy that often unless you are a lot better than the other team. What's our guy in the booth seeing........or worse, NOT SEEING?

My point is if they don't have faith in him, see what #11 can do in a game. He's never gotten that shot. Levi was #3 and never would have gotten a shot except for injuries. If you have no confidence in your qb and don't try something else, what do you have to lose?? If it's not a confidence issue then he just stinks at play calling, it's one of the two.

[ Can't answer that Troyset, but two head coaches and several smart assistants who a lot of folks on here like seem to think he is our best choice. In my limited experiences I'm going to bet they have their reasons for that choice. None of us know what it is unless we attend practice every day. That's not to say I think we are where we need ho be. I've said Silvers after 21/2 years should be further along. Offensively it's one of our biggest mysteries. We are just not very good right now!

Living in Pike County hasn't sucked the football knowledge out of CNB's skull. He still knows how to run the same wide open, fast paced offense we saw when he was here before and when he was at TT. I have to assume the reason we haven't seen that yet this season is related to personnel. The players needed to run that system must be recruited. We concentrated on offensive and defensive lines this past recruiting year, let's see what the recruiting future holds. I foresee a fast pace in our near future.

It starts with Silvers. Then the WRs...we seem to have decent RB play overall. I'd seriously consider tossing a few passes to Anderson, but that's just me. Let's see how the O line does this weekend because Silvers plays looser when there's nothing to lose. He has a mix of talented receivers, they just need to be on one sheet of music. That's when you'll see the tempo increase...we don't have to wait another recruiting cycle for that...

Yep, that very well could answer that. We all sId recruiting went south the last few years do I assume, with a few exceptions, NB is working with those recruits that very well may not fit his style. Rome wasn't built in a day....uh, I think I heard that somewhere.....by somebody.... I think!

I don't care if he's from Timbuktu, if he can play. Definitely need somebody to at least challenge Silvers to make him better.
