Sheesh, Oliver! Why are you being so testy? So you didn't like my analogy. I explained what I meant; you can take it or leave it. 'Easy boy' was supposed to be a light-hearted way of saying 'hold on, you've misinterpreted what I said'. It's a common expression and wasn't meant to be offensive. Given the sarcastic tone of your messages, I didn't expect a bit of banter to be a problem. Since I apparently can't say anything that won't offend you, please just accept my word that I intended no offense and let's just drop it.

Perhaps it's your English usage I should question. But, the fact is Addazio is 9-0 as offensive coordinator and that should be remembered in any objective discussion about the Gators offense. But, when you use a derogatory term such as "easy boy" in addressing me I guess objectivity isn't what you're interested in. Just how old are you ancient one?

I'm not calling him incompetent, I'm saying he's inexperienced as an OC calling plays, which he most certainly is. I was commenting on a specific theory that maybe we're holding back our 'real' offense in a clever ploy to hide our plays from future competition. I don't agree. My point is that you don't have to look for sneaky behavior when a simple and obvious explanation exists. Now you may object to my entire premise, citing our 9-0 record, but I maintain that we're 9-0 largely because of our defense and that this offense has not yet come close to meeting its potential (except, perhaps, in the Georgia game). I also believe that play-calling has a lot to do with that. Meyer obviously agrees since every offensive change he suggested they would employ after the MSU game involved a change in play-calling. I'm happy we're undefeated, but I would be happier still if our offense were playing to their potential. We'll need that to beat Alabama and Texas. For the record, I'm not unhappy or disgruntled, nor am I complaining. These are amazing times to be a Gator and I'm having a great time this season. I'm just objectively discussing the strengths and weaknesses of our team, something fans have done as long as sports have existed. I guess we could all limit our comments to 'Go Gators' all week, but I've always enjoyed a little more depth in discussions. Rob P.S. Go Gators!

Mullen never accomplished that. Let's get rid of that idiot and get someone in there who can throw the ball around.

It reminds me of the old adage, never attribute to conspiracy that which can be easily explained by incompetence. Addazio and Meyer aren't holding anything back. We simply have a new OC who happens to be an offensive line coach and who calls plays like one. As was already pointed out, it would backfire as a plan anyway because you must practice these skills to get good at them. If they did hold back the 'real' offense all season, they'd be unable to run it effectively in the post-season anyway. Like Mullen before him, Addazio will improve over time.

My *very* cynical and critical husband started saying exactly what you're saying early in the game yesterday. At first, he was so frustrated, saying, "What the heck? Why are they going back to this when they saw in Jacksonville how much better they play when they DON'T run these same plays over and over again?" Shortly thereafter, he decided that Meyer and Addazio are doing this on purpose. This morning at breakfast, we ran into my ex-in-laws... and my ex-FIL said the exact same thing. Hmmm. We'll see if you're all right. There's over 150 years of football watching experience between the three of you. Surely that counts for something. ;-) Cee ----- Original Message ----- From: Gatornet Admin <mailto:gator...@comcast.net> To: GatorTalk <mailto:gatortalk@googlegroups.com> Sent: Sunday, November 08, 2009 2:50 PM Subject: [gatortalk] Re: [gatornews] Gatornews from Today's Miami Herald and Palm Beach Post courtesy of JunoGator Ok, I'm sure many of us have thought it, but just haven't actually voiced it. Try this on for size and see what you think. I've been thinking for some time that we have become the masters of the vanilla offense. Everyone thinks our offense is struggling, but I think we are doing just enough to win the game yet not give game tape material to opossing coaches. With the exception of the Georgia game, which we all knew would be a "pull out all the stops" game, I think Tebow and the offense is doing EXACTLY what Meyer wants. So far, the only good game tape Saban and Mack Brown have to study is the UGA game. Not much there to prepare for, is there?
