Reality: This team is soft.

[croomin]

Yesterday, we saw a number of players that did not give a full effort only to be picked up by others that went all out.

Team: If you don't like this kind of criticism, come together amongst yourselves and rise to a higher standard. It's not on the coaches. Leaders need to lead and let it be known it won't be tolerated.

You have to remember, there are many long-time Bulldogs that have seen great effort and poor effort over the history of our Program. We know what it looks like. Let this be the final time it needs to be called out. Change it starting in 2 weeks and every game thereafter. Leave no room for being called out about effort.

 

[TBone.sixpack]

D Grey all out.
Smokey all out
Shump all out
Ross had good moments as well
Holloway always gives effort
Farrod Green

Who else stuck out?

Gabe Myles...don't get me started
Ritchie Brown is a liability as is B Bryant.

Jamal Peters dumb penalty was disappointing too.

The OL was lollygagging in the 1H. No other way around it.

 

[ChinaDogSunflower]

That's just how they play

 

[croomin]

Agree. Everyone can see the slacking. It's on tape plain as day.

And we also all know the difference between a young player working hard and making mistakes and a veteran player going half-speed. Two very different things.

Mullen needs to tell senior and rankin's backups to get ready for auburn cause they will play.

I know we won and fitz had a good day and all but he wont vs auburn. If Tiano doesnt get a shot soon he's gonna leave. And with him our only chance at a qb that can manage this lack of leadership disaster we are witnessing.

I'm glad someone else saw this. Saban wouldn't put up with that poisoness culture of laziness.

Mount lefroy can see the future. He knows fitz will suck against auburn and Tiano is gone soon.

The O-line looked totally lost. Claybourn fell flat on his back untouched. Fitz would have left on a cart in the first quarter if we were playing a SEC caliber D-line.

There is something going on with this team that needs to be fixed before it can't be corrected. We looked like this in '01 and we didn't look like a football team again until 2009. A majority of the players are flat out not laying it on the line to win. This is a horrible cancer that spreads like a wildfire. I don't know if it is coaches, other players, or what, but there is an obvious problem.

 

[Uncle Ruckus]

Lack of talent. Plain and simple. No one on our oline would start on another SECW team. LSU would be the only team that would play Fitz. None of our RB's would be on the two deep. Gray, Ross, and Dear would play. I'd say our TEs wouldn't be we wouldn't know because we don't utilize them. A few of the DL would play, Leo Lewis, and maybe Durr. We have little SEC talent. That's why we suck.

 

[Shmuley]

Clayborn would be a solid 2nd teamer. None others would crack the practice squad.

 

[NCDawg.sixpack]

I would say Ross and Gray could play on offense for most SEC teams, with Jefferson, Adams and possibly Lewis on defense.

In Clayburn's defense...

In the other thread with the GIFs, It looked like he was tripped from behind

More like satchel-assing than lollygagging imo. **

 

[archdog]

He was tripped by the right guard, which happens. The guard needs to control his feet placement a little better though.
