I thought the same thing about the postgame interview. Urban sounded like
he had cobwebs in his head, had a hard time even answering questions and, in
fact, replied "I'm not prepared to answer that right now" more times than
I've ever heard it used by a coach. It was almost more than I could stand
to listen to. :-(

Amen, Brother. If any of you heard Meyer in the post game interview, it was
beyond belief. He was more than a deer in the headlights with zero
expanation for anything. No answers to any of the questions asked. Her was
sapped of all life force and struggling to maintain. I have never heard the
man so disheartened, confused and befuddled. It was absolutely telling and
amazing. The ship has made a complete 180 and the captain is clueless---or
at least not wanting to hurt any feelings by speaking the truth...in my book
though it's more pf the former. Meyer has been gutted emotionally. Yes, the
wheels have come off the wagon. I'm interested in anyone elses take on the
post game interview---the worst I've ever witnessed---it made Zook sound
like a genius.

Shouldn't have been a surprise. It was the same offense and same playcalling
that we have seen all season. Same 3 yard patterns when we need 7 for a
first down. Same gadget and gimmick plays that just plain don't work when
you don't have the advantage of a wildcat quarterback.
There was no magic to the last 2 wins... think about this: nothing changed,
it was a card trick, we got some players back and suddenly we were good
again? No, we played 2 teams with questionable defenses. UGA and Vandy have
no D. Its that simple.
We lost every game to teams that have better than average defenses. Alabama,
LSU, MSU, and now SoCar.
I fully expect FSU to beat us. I hope I am wrong.
But the Brantley experiment needs to end, and quite possibly the Adazzio
one. I think Adazzio can succeed once he learns to adapt to the players he
has. He also needs to call plays where everyone is on the same page. The
option read is killing us, the lineman look confused and don't know who or
where to block. The receivers, running backs and QBs are all making
different reads. They Oline does a much better job when they KNOW they are
passblocking and need to create a pocket. The skill players then know where
to go. You can see it later in the games when trying to play catchup when
Burton, and now Reed, runs the offense with much greater success.
This is not a spread option offense. This is a dual threat offense which
creates the man up advantage the same as the wildcat offense does. Without
that type of QB, you lose that advantage and the defense has the advantage.
A good defense will destroy us. They have, and they will.
Meyer is in a terrible position with Brantley. He seems to feel he owes him
some chance and opportunity, but if so, why not give him that chance by
running an offense that he has a snowball's chance in hell of succeeding in?
They have successfully taken a former Mr. Florida and recordx breaking QB
and reduced him to an ineffective has been. Its kin to character
assassination. Its like asking me to write software code for Apple but only
in Cantonese. Imagine Brantley's internal frustration...
I will say this: at the beginning of the season, Brantely was all we had. We
discovered Burton and Reed along the way, but it is the coaches job to give
us the best chance to win and put the best players in the positions to do
that.
Either put in an offense for Brantley or admit you failed him and Gator
Nation and let's do what this offense dictates. Jordan Reed at QB, Burton in
the slot or TE, Rainey and Demps in the other slot and RB, and rotate all
WRs except Deonte until he can catch a ball that hits him in both hands, and
tell the O-line to play like they did with Timmy and go win some games.
Until the pride is swallowed and they admit they screwed up, this won't
improve. I don't see how it can. You can't keep forcing that square peg into
that round hole. Sure, we will get the feel good, "we can do this" wins
against overmatched teams, but that won't win an SEC schedule. We have seen
that this year...

Do they look as bad in real life? We look inept on offense on TV! Horrible!
Can we change enough at the half to even get a first down?
Go Gators!
