[QUOTE="JoePaEer, post: 131094284, member: 1108307"] You guys can bash bucky all you want, all day every day, but he is bringing up some valid points. We all want Brown to succeed if we truly love our program, but he is not above criticism. And frankly, there IS a lot to criticize this season, esp on offense which is historically bad running the football. This cannot be overlooked or explained away, as HCNB inherited a decent stable of running backs and 2 excellent linemen. I for one was surprised to see our defense is not really all that much better statistically (assuming his stats are accurate) than last year's because our D does look a lot better to the eye. At least my eye. Brown gets a mulligan for this year. Transitions are often messy (but then we should be giving Holgy some credit for a positive transition year from Stew), but if our O doesn't improve significantly next year we may be in trouble. He seems to have found a QB that can make a difference, but the running game must improve dramatically to be successful int his league. Scoring13-20 points will NOT get it done in this league or any other P5 league now that SEC offenses have joined the 21st Century. Sooo...the question remains. WHY is our running game so much worse than last years running game? Even when we inserted a capable QB which made the passing attack better, we still can't run the ball. Why? And will it be any better next year when we loss our 2 best linemen? These are questions that must be answered this offseason. [/QUOTE]
