Can't post the video......language goes off the rails.

1. Looks like we have a tendency on 1st down and these defenses are in full pass rush on almost every 1st down.

2. Our OL is missing lots of assignments, but most of the Auburn game we had guys in and out constantly. Brailsford was playing on one foot, we had a hard time picking up all their rushers....especially #24. But you can tell they are coming because their best pass rushers are lining up wide so they can speed rush or twist and confuse the line.

- You can actually see Brailsford hopping on one foot at one point trying to make a block.


3. We're still very one dimensional and relying on the QB to win the game.

4. Young TE's playing in place of Cuevas....could be giving things away with their eyes, and missed blocks, dropped passes.
 
It's kinda crazy that people keep watching film asking questions about what's wrong with us, instead of just acknowledging that our OL is horrible.

The problem isn't just that the OL is horrible.....I think we're tipping things off. I also think we aren't breaking tendencies near enough.

Auburn and Oklahoma had us timed up on almost every first down.....that shouldn't be happening with such regularity.

Without Brailsford in there and healthy....we're in big trouble vs UGA.

We actually ran the ball better when brailsford was out

Unfortunately, this is the system. It's just what it is.

We have data on DeBoer as a head coach for 6 years at the FBS level, and three stops, so a lot of personnel changes. You can expect the quarterback to account for about two thirds of the plays, whether he runs or passes. It's just how it works, for better or worse.

We just can't expect a team that averages 5 yards per rush and can control the game on the ground. His previous teams have had varying levels of success running the ball, but if it tells you anything the best rushing team he's ever had was actually last year when Milroe ran a lot.
 
Film Guy noted that, but said he thought it looked more like better effort and eyes from the RB than anything the OL was doing differently.

Jam was running like he did before his concussion.
Jam was mentioned by the sideline reporter that he was in the best shape this season after the 2 prior injuries so it made a difference in his speed and vision. unfortunately, another lower body injury occurred and we don't know his status until later today
