I didn’t disagree with the idea, at first, of trying to limit Greg Dillon’s forays out of the pocket — as I say here (http://www.thederisoreport.com/2009/09/22/what-wed-like-gramblings-offense-to-do-and-what-it-can-do/), there is a significant injury concern.

But it’s clear that Greg is out of sync right now. The logjam could be broken by running the ball more. I argue, in the entry above, for that; what about Frank Warren this year?

Going to a more rush-focused attack plays to the strength of this offensive line. They’ve struggled with traditional pass protection, but showed a notable flair for road-grading in front of a rusher.

It also opens up the passing game.

Comparing Spady to previous OC at GSU there is no comparision. On a scale of one to ten, ten being the worst, from day one he is at best a nine. With that said thank god for the defense.

As Nick said in the paper, dont expect this weekend to be a true indicator of improvement. Next weekend is the game that I am looking for improvements. Spady must find a way to bring the old Dillon back. Right now Dillon is not the same qb he was last year.

Sammie never really had a chance to call his own plays. Vyron Brown called alot of the plays. Spady is Our Oc at the moment and its up to him and broadway to get this offense going. I hope they can get it going.

Sammie was a better OC for Spears than Spady is for Broadway and that’s for sho(no pun intended)

A friend of mine spoke with Greg Dillon’s uncle at the JSU game. His uncle said: (Paraphasing) Greg has been playing football since he was 4 years old. He has always been a scrambler and found a way to make plays. The GSU coaching staff trying to convert him into a pocket passer, will not work with Greg”"

Spady has to find mixture of pass and run from the end of last year.

Not special teams coach huh? Lol. I want Sammie to be able to call his own plays, incorporate his own styld into the offense.

I agree with Bill, name Spady the special team coach. He is not teaching the guys fundamental on blocking. I think Broadway need to get on the offensive line butt a little during the game, because it’s a disgrace the way they block. You can’t keep depending on the defense to bail you out. PLease come up with better pass routes.

Hopefully, we can get it together. However, we can not depend on the defense to always pull us out.

The solution to the offense is simple make Spady special teams coach promote coach White to oc. Gurantee the offense would be much better, also we would have a vertical game again.
