Did Sharp and Johnson's injuries make that much of a difference? Are people playing differently and we won't adjust.

Pretty sure it's the same napkin he's been using for the last 30 years.Here's a thread hijack - does Leach gameplan for each opponent? Does he throw in any wrinkles?
I wish I knew the very specific answer to this question.Here's a thread hijack - does Leach gameplan for each opponent? Does he throw in any wrinkles?
Or is it all scheme and execution?
Check for coffee stainsPretty sure it's the same napkin he's been using for the last 30 years.
This is the reason Leach has so much freakin time to watch Netflix and read history books.I wish I knew the very specific answer to this question.
I do know, last year, in the middle of the 1Q against OM, our OL coach vociferously asked for schematic help in blocking that incredible DE that OM had. Leach shot it down and went with what they always do on OL. After the game, the next week, Leach admitted that was probably a mistake on his behalf.
So, when I hear stories like that, it makes me think Leach doesn't really scheme for the opponent. He does what he's going to do and hope it works. If an opponent has a strength or weakness, it doesn't appear that we necessarily plan specifically for that.
And when it doesn't, it's always the players' fault.This is the reason Leach has so much freakin time to watch Netflix and read history books.
He doesn’t think he needs to prepare like normal HC’s bc his “scheme” works against any opponent if the players just “execute” it.
Injuries. We don't have the corner on dumb, but we are close to leading on poor execution within our OL and WR recently.Injuries and dumbassery
Yep, Kentucky, Alabama and Auburn all played 4-3 defense to stop our running game and force the pass. All of them had good enough talent to play man-on-man against our receivers. My biggest gripe about our play calling is all the runs up the middle. Earlier in the season when we ran just outside the tackles we were getting 5-7 yards per carry. Running up the middle on Alabama and Auburn was fools gold. With that said, Marks scored the game winning TD running up the middle.I think its from the 4-3 defense with disguised pressure, forces us to pass mostly and pass quickly
I generally like Leach but that's not something that fills me with a lot of hope in terms of consistently getting over the 6-7 win hump.He does what he's going to do and hope it works. If an opponent has a strength or weakness, it doesn't appear that we necessarily plan specifically for that.
That's a question I've wondered about for a time now. How does a HC prepare both sides of the ball when your own O & D do as$ opposite of what your next opponent is gonna do?Here's a thread hijack - does Leach gameplan for each opponent? Does he throw in any wrinkles?

Beat up line. Beat up backs. Better defenses. Lack of commitment to the run. It's all that.Did Sharp and Johnson's injuries make that much of a difference? Are people playing differently and we won't adjust.

that was an audible from Will on a pass play that had been called.Yep, Kentucky, Alabama and Auburn all played 4-3 defense to stop our running game and force the pass.

Here's what those runs looked like per play-by-play. Marks had 7 runs, 3 go for over 10 yards and 1 for the game winning TD. It's really head scratching when a guy averages over 6 yards / carry and picks up a first down on half his carries --- but we refuse to run him more.10 carries for 44 yards agin AU. 7 from Marks for 45 (long 14) & 3 for -1 for Johnson. Those numbers tell me we didn't run it enough based on how our O was sucking for a while during the game. It seems we should do it more to create uncertainty that woluld open things up more.

Hijack hijack - is there a coach that you can show (preferably with examples) that does gameplan his offense for each opponent?Here's a thread hijack - does Leach gameplan for each opponent? Does he throw in any wrinkles?

This is depressing to think about. In a conference with a high concentration of really good coaches and really good players, you are going to get ****** more often than not doing it like this.I wish I knew the very specific answer to this question.

Don't good football coaches scout their opponents to develop plans for beating each of their opponents?If an opponent has a strength or weakness, it doesn't appear that we necessarily plan specifically for that.
ALL coaches do this. Pretty sure even Croominator did it (he just didn’t start until Tuesday or so).Don't good football coaches scout their opponents to develop plans for beating each of their opponents?
Surely they do, right?

I think Leach gets sleepy during those night games....ALL coaches do this. Pretty sure even Croominator did it (he just didn’t start until Tuesday or so).
Rosey say, Leach requested 11 am for ETSU in order to get a head start prepping for Ole Miss, and to watch them, etc.
Ha. That's what I was thinking as well.I think Leach gets sleepy during those night games....
There is a lot of behind the scenes stuff impacting this situation. I’ll tell you as soon as I get the all clearDid Sharp and Johnson's injuries make that much of a difference? Are people playing differently and we won't adjust.
