Heavy earned some points with me……

…..having the balls to go back to Shapen knowing that was the only way we’d win. With the whole fanbase criticizing you, even your supporters. And then again, after the INT.

Kamario has his place, and with our OL the way it is, he did provide a spark. But had he stayed in the game I think the game speeds up and the clock may run out on us. He will start next year and we will go from there.

I’m giving him a break from the criticism now. Does Arkansas suck or are we better? Well we have 3 games to prove it. I’ll be at the Egg Bowl, can’t make Georgia.

5-7, 6-6, who cares. He gets next year to show what he’s ultimately got.

With tonight’s win, I have officially lost my bet with @paindonthurt and starting with the Sunday after the Egg Bowl or our postseason bowl, whichever is later, I will take a 6 month hiatus from the board, plus 1 additional month for every additional win we get this season. I would have rather...

I’ll hit the road. After the EB. May start early, we’ll see. Ain’t trying to rain on the parade.

I did not know this but Bart and Charlie reported that Shapen had to sit out a quarter because the medical observer saw something after the unnecessary roughness hit he took. So Lebby couldn't put him back in immediately.

With that said, I think Arky established the defensive playbook for everyone else on our schedule. Sell out on the running backs because Blake cannot beat you with his legs. The worst run defense in the league ate our lunch for almost 3 quarters until Taylor came in and gave us a spark. Lebby has got to have the stones to give Taylor a few series when the offense is stalled with Shapen.

Agree, and I was in the “why are we adding Shapen back” camp even though KT didn’t look ready to run it for a full game/rest of year. I was in a “let’s try KT until they stop him again” mindset and wasn’t sure if Shapen was concussed, but I was wrong on that

 

[patdog]

Maybe. But I don’t think it was a hard decision. Of really even a decision at all. You’re playing to win. You play your best QB when he’s available. Good thing coaches don’t think like fans.

We were without Reese. We have struggled to run the football every time he's been out of the game.

Reece is one guy. I get tired of hearing this. Reece doesn’t block the entire front seven by himself. Are you telling me that his back up’s assigned defender is making the tackle for loss or no gain on every run play? If you can’t run the ball at all because of one single lineman has been replaced, then it’s nothing more than a gimmick.

I'm not into the details of this particular OL, but I do know missing one guy can have a domino effect... So if your starting RT is out, and you move the RG out to cover for him, now you've got two positions without starters, as an example.

I agree with @dawgstudent . Bets and agreements to leave the board, either temporarily or permanently are dumb. Traffic and conversation are wanted and needed to keep a vibrant Sixpack community. The message board community dies if there are too many folks going on hiatus. Disagreement and different opinions are good. You
should both agree to change the bet to you just giving Lebby a few months break without heavy specific criticism.

There is a big chemistry component to offensive line play. Removing one guy sometimes results in worse play from everyone.

Did Reece play against Texas?

We had negative 31 (-31) rushing yards in the second half.

KT isn't ready to pass against SEC level defenses. Dude has a cannon but doesn't have the accuracy you would want running a two minute offense.

Lebby’s entire offense is a two minute offense. What you’re saying is that he doesn’t have the accuracy in general for this offense.

Cool. We are scoring 35 ppg with an immobile quarterback. We have 2 rushers in the top
11 in the SEC in yards with one of them missing 2 games. If you think they are doing that with bad OL play you are mistaken. Arkansas loaded up to stop the run and were able to, particularly with Reese out.

 

[TheDawg-Pound]

I know you all say KT is the guy next year but Lebby knows he must win next year. I have a feeling we go all in on a qb. Hopefully KT stays if he doesn't win the starting job. I just can't see Lebby putting it all on the line for a true sophomore qb when we all still complain about last year when we had a true freshman starting the majority of the season. Yes KT will have a year in the system but experience is huge especially in the SEC. Look at Manning.

He doesn't have it as a true freshman. He will get better. Everything just moves fast until you get experience. He will be the man next year.

We had negative 31 (-31) yards rushing in the second half against Texas, with Reece playing. I don’t care about over offensive average numbers which include garbage times and games against trash teams ect. Again, we had negative 31 (-31) yards rushing in the second half of a ballgame that we could have pounded the ball, milked the clock, and won. The point is that we can’t run the ball when it actually matters, I don’t care what your overall padded misleading stats say. That’s all fools gold.

I think Van Buren looked better as a true freshman last year than Taylor does this year, in this particular offense. I don’t think KT would have done as well as Van Buren did given the same opportunity.
