Do we go back to the Air Raid for the last two games?

You need to re-read what you wrote and see how it makes sense in any way. What do you see on the current and remaining staff that makes you think it even plausible to "re-invent" the air raid for the last two games of the season?
No way , this offense has led us to a 4-8 season, I kind of like scoring 3 ppg and being 112 th in the country on offense.
That 9-4 stuff sucked
That 9-4 stuff sucked
Supposedly Will will be playing but Barbay is still calling plays so who knows what kind of offense we see. Whatever we see it’s likely to be offensive.
I suspect it will look as much like South Carolina game as possible. If we can get enough blocking etc. And if so that will prove that Arnept was throttling down the offense. But that game looked like no other game we have played this year
I want to see Will shuttle every inept tight end we have off the field pull on an extra wide receiver and run a check with me and change the play to whatever the hell that call was that stoops mentioned at leech's funeral!
If we do, Will is going to have to coach it. Barbay sure doesn't know anything about the air raid. He doesn't even know about whatever it is that he is coaching
Just been wondering lately, how many passes have our tight ends(or offensive linemen playing tight end) caught this year? Any?
If we are smart, yeah, we go back to tossing it around the yard.
I'm just wondering if Selmon goes modified air raid moving forward for a coach. He's ou blood but played at wake. I wonder what he is thinking and conserving
No way! Our fans love this new offense and can’t stand that boring Ol’ air raid.****
Hopefully Selmon isn't hiring anyone based solely on "scheme". He needs to find the right HC to lead us forward and make us better for the next 5 - 6 years before he gets hired away by a bigger name program.
I doubt he's restricting it to the AR, but his history makes me think there's a better than average chance we end up with a modified version.
Maybe in between plays Will Rogers will look up to the press box at Barbay and give him the middle finger and call his own play.
And adjusting your scheme to the players you have****
What could it hurt? Our offense can’t generate a touchdown with the current scheme.
I am curious to see how much of the disjointed play calling was because of Zach Arnett's meddling. Greg Knox is an offensive coach, so maybe we'll see a little more coherence in terms of what we're trying to do.
With Griffin and Thomas that might work against USM. Hell one of them will probably break a jet sweep or double reverse for a TD against USM.
To a degree, but flawless execution makes up for a lot. Attention to detail at all times also helps a LOT.
One of the biggest indictments against our coaches. In game 10, we had 4 pre snap penalties on offense in the 1 st quarter. That just can’t happen. Actually there are lots of other indictments just as big, but that one says a lot right there.
Now that's funny. Arnept had his arms folded on the sidelines completely checked out. Barbay can't blame his shatty offense on him. This is all on the McElwain trained coach.
Wondering about this too. Barbay seemed to be good elsewhere so what is it here that makes the offense so mediocre? Could he not adjust or was it interference from Arnett.
Maybe the problem is the OL has been running the air raid and everyone else is running whatever barbay has been trying to do*****
Just let Will play and call the plays from the huddle. Couldn’t be any worse. It’s been nearly a month since our last offensive touchdown
If will is playing, let him be on field play caller. You know he isn't calling anything for a naked bootleg.
We've been "mediocre" maaaaybe one game this season and still lost, South Carolina, which was 7-6 in Beamers first year, 8-5 2nd year and currently a 4-6 team like us so 1 game above .500 for Beamer w/ KY and Clemson left. And now, the Clarion Ledger has run an article connecting him to our opening.
Personally I think thats what was going on in the SC game but everybody said that was stupid. I think Will said "get ready Tulu I'm hitting you every play bro. We gonna score some points like we used to" but I guess that is a far fetched idea. But Arnept was definitely meddling in the offense having him go more conservative. He said so himself at least once
I think we should dust off some of the old '80s film canisters and re-install Emory Bellards Wishbone, that would totally catch them by surprise**
