....finally watched the Tech replay and I have to vent a little. If I hear anybody yell "Just get rid of it!" @ Sam Richardson for the rest of the season, I might completely lose my ****. Whether live and in person @ JTS or watching on TV with friends and family, there always seems to be somebody around me who thinks it's a good idea for Sam to blindly toss it up when pressured. I've seen/heard plenty of people talk about Sam having a terrible game against Tech and that is just flat out not true. When given more than a split second to throw, he made the right play most of the time. Unfortunately he didn't have much if any time consistently enough and our receivers were locked down when he did. I'm not solely blaming Mess for our offensive ineptitude but his play calling did not cut it in this one (or the rest of the season for that matter.) We rarely made Tech pay for bringing so much pressure and it would have been pretty simple to do so. We went away from the diamond set run game when it worked almost every time and hardly called any screens or quick slants. Also found ourselves in far too many 3rd and long situations where our receivers couldn't even get close to completing their routes before Sam was running for his life. The issue with our offense is definitely not Richardson holding on to the ball for too long. Our problem imo is the man calling the plays overthinks and makes it too complicated. All we need to do is take what's there and stick with what's moving the ball down the field. If you disagree with me, I'm totally fine with that but take the time to watch the replay if you haven't already. Rant over. Now let's move forward and kick some major Bear ***!
