Compiling all of my thoughts on the last two weeks in no particular order...
Whatever.. bye week means Aggie football doesn't exist right now.
- Bryce Foster is incapable of playing Center at this level. 6-7 bad snaps against Tennessee and routinely gets beat in the run game. You could argue the 4th down trip of Max was a fluke or accident, but it wouldn't have mattered because his assignment smoked him and would have blown up the play. Hell Bryce almost tripped over Max lying on the ground.
- Bisontis is out of his league physically against Bama and Tennessee. We'll see if he comes along against what will likely be weaker edge rushers the rest of the way. He got smoked in pass pro both games.
- Wouldn't mind seeing Dewberry LG, Nabou Center, Foster RG. Robinson has been bad, too.
- The offense is being "tailored" to Max in an incredibly negative way. We look totally different. No RPOs, no 3-step throws, no attempts to create mismatches or advantage via motion or route concepts. We look like the 2022 offense since 2nd half of Arkansas. Feels like Jimbo has taken control again even if Bobby is calling the plays. Conner played a bad half against Auburn, but the plays were there. He was bad, not the offense.
- Max is holding the ball too long. Difficult to tell if that's Max's fault or play design. Have to get some quick throws in order to help him get in a rhythm.
- The defense deserves better. They played a great game against Tennessee, and with an adequate offensive showing in the second half we would have had every chance to win the Bama game.
- Not sure where I stand on firing Jimbo. The buyout and the contract is irrelevant to me because I'm not paying it. He recruits well. I wouldn't hate hitting the portal for some guys to compete on the OL, hiring a new OL coach with some tangible value, and running it back one more time with Conner.
- I hope our studs don't transfer.
