Yes, but our offense has to keep the defense guessing, so that means we have to attack what they're giving us with efficient and unpredictable play calling. The problem I see in all of our losses is #1 really soft lazy defense and #2 not taking what the defense is giving us so that things can open up. Feeding Zeke works when we are over powering teams, but that only happens when Garrett finds a way to get them fired up, so once again, coaching has a huge part in all of this working.
I'm not so sure how much of the firing up of the team Garrett is doing these days. The players seem to be getting that from their leaders. Look how the old men on the team made plays. Garrett has stopped clapping and the players are taking control of the morale.
I watched the post game show as well as various player interviews and they all concurred that Garrett gave the best speech they had ever heard. There is no doubt that Garrett pulled out a scene from an old Bob Stoops locker room speech to rile the troops... Garrett is good a couple times a year and getting the guys to play out of their minds, the issue is when he has milked his go to speeches too often. On any given sunday, Garrett does have the ability to touch a nerve with the team, but it's way too far and in between. I do agree the players took some liberties, but it's going to take alot more of that and then some to keep the train on the tracks.
Meh, what did he say? "If you guys lose, I'm going to be fired so win, win, win!" lol. Who gets motivated by listening to that redheaded dork?
I'm not privy to what Garrett said, but I do know that many have gone on record saying it was the best speech they ever heard.
Overpowering teams on the O line is more about being healthy and having the right guys. Su'a-Filo is a better lineman than Conner Williams
They got paid to say that. Red ain't motivating jack.
