I’m excited about Enos. Just pointing something out with the benefit of hindsight. He’s probably asking himself the same questions.

I was really surprised to not see the TEs blocking more. I want them catching passes, especially in the middle of the field but you have help lots of tackles especially freshmen against quality DEs. I don't even pay much attention to the details but that seemed obvious. Most of our great TEs could at least get chip a DE on the way to their route.

NOPE been there done that with whipple nix coley richt NOPE NOPE NOPE

When you see fans on a message board spotting things that uber simple and see no adjustment, something IS WRONG.

Things like:

well zion nelson has given up 6 sacks, better not try anyone else!
well zion nelson and campbell are having trouble blocking anything in front of them.. let's call some PLAY ACTION BABY!! Forget some dig routes, some RPO's, some... anything you'd see in a spread offense. NOPE

Where's the tempo at to get these guys confident and moving when you can't even break the **** HUDDLE WITH MORE THAN 7 SECONDS ON THE CLOCK?

I'm not giving up on enos yet but you guys should have your eyes checked if you're not a little bit concerned. That man enos got fcking DESTROYED in the 2nd half by grantham's defensive adjustments. We had THIRTY FOUR YARDS of total offense in the second half I read somewhere.

Even worse than enos is a guy i'm not seeing mentioned ANYWHERE and that's butch barry. Remember when searles had to luck into the correct starting line up? I'm thinking barry might be on that same plane of thought. This dude should have NEVER EVER had a TF as the starting LT. No reason none whatsoever that scaife shouldn't have been on one of the tackle spots.

Maybe after the 19th sack by both the tackles MAYBE you try moving some pieces around? Enos wasn't helping with the play calling whatsoever, you telling me irvin couldn't get out there and chip him?

He promised us jt4 would touch the ball a lot more, DIDN'T HAPPEN
How many reps did hightower and a lot of other wide outs even get?

Way way wayyy too many mistakes but go ahead board tell me i'm in full meltdown mode and everythings gonna be okay..

Not sure how I saw it and you saw it that we needed more max protect and we didnt do it. I still trust Enos and am sure he had a very good reason for what he did but dang!!!!

It's also a Gator team with a great defense. They shut down almost every offense last year and will again this year.

But yeah, let's fire the OC for not putting up huge numbers in Game 1 with a 1st time starting QB vs that defense.

Yea that elite defense that that ranked was 10th in the SEC in rush defense. The same defense everyone on this board claimed had terrible LB's and Safeties that Enos would "feast on"

What's wrong with you people? Like Joe Shmoe on a message board is better than a premierly paid OC. Let's wait a bit. It's literally ONE GAME at this point. Let's see what the man has.

Mark Richt had 30 years of experience, and was paid 4 mil. How did that work out?

The motions and shifts were working early on. It just feels like we went away from it a little bit due to the offense lining up to the ball late getting pre snap or delay of game penalties. Seemed like they stopped doing that after those kept piling up in addition to barely getting the ball off as the clock seemed like it kept running . We need to clean that up for sure in terms of getting the play and lining up so we can do the motions and shifts presnap.

On the scripted first drive those Motions and shifts were deadly. I think we went away from it because Enos & Jarren struggled getting plays called with enough time on the play clock to use pre-snap motion. Bright future ahead for this offense.

If we had got lined up properly with ample time to do that it would have been fine. But that definitely affected some things for sure

Why was Enos calling so many play action plays ..our o line can’t block yet he needs to scrap that for a while until they can gel and get better

Especially considering we have the skill position talent to flat out beat teams by not having to use PA every **** play. Let our talent beat their talent man to man where we have the talent advantage. Enos played right into their strength, which is exactly what you don't want to do. The weakest part of our O is the tackle position, and he let them exploit it.
 
Did Enos call the plays at Bama or did Satan? Starting to wonder. He doesn't have 5-star backup OL here. Adjustments are crucial.

I thought there was a lot of good in Enos's game plan, especially early on. And like some of the diff looks he gave...

I do kinda agree with D-Money that he didn't scheme well enough around a bad offensive line...I'm also surprised we didn't substitute just a little here and there on the O-line. And I think that showed the last 4-5 minutes of the game when we went from bad ol play to some of the ugliest pass protection you will ever see in a major cab game.

This is not a team built for a comeback...They were dead even with Florida until the clock became a factor and they HAD to throw. UM, at this point, (will improve SOMEWHAT as season goes if we stay healthy, which is a big if) just can't play this year when teams can pin their ears back. It looked like men vs. boys at that point after being an even slugfest for 55 minutes.

Reason, I believe, is Enos thought the OL was better than it turned out to be. I know he knew UF could bring a lot of pressure.
 
Agree, D. Enos did not employ his ****nal like I thought he would at protecting Jarren. Not having an extra blocker was beyond me. Chip one DE with a TE and use Dallas to help with the other side. Whenever Jarren had time, he usually delivered bullets.

Also, no draw plays? Predictability with screens in the 2nd half after UF adjusted pretty much shut down screens.

The Clap? I thought a big deal was made how we were finally moving away from that. We inexplicably went back to the clap and UF was teeing off.

A young QB with a young oline = growing pains. It's not just scheming, its experience. You saw a lot of youth out there. As JW gains more experience he will be able to help the oline by getting the ball out, taking off and running, switching his cadence and audibling out of bad formations but it's going to take time.
 
Also at certain moments in the game I thought the oline/Jarren did a poor job at identifying pressure coming from the dbs and stuff on the outside as well. If they are walking up like that you got to acknowledge and communicate that. This will get better with more experience
