Time to unleash the New Ton

[beastson]

I think this game once again will come down to redzone efficiency against a 3-4 defense. It's been a weakness and you would think by now we'll be past that point. This will be our 6th 3-4 defense this season and so far we're 3-13 in the redzone, 23% against 3-4. FG's are unacceptable and put unnecessary pressure on us once we start settling for making the game closer. If we can get that far down, there's no excuse not gaining 20 yards to the endzone

 

I made a thread saying get to a no huddle offense soon as we get to the 20 and I was half-serious, but now I think it's a great idea. To take it a step further it should be ran more period as we all agree. Watching Auburn(early in the game) it's clear that Cam thrives doing that, it's what he does best. Now that he can read defenses and audible to successful plays, it's time to unleash him

not only that, but we should see Brandon Williams and Kenjon Barner--see what Williams has on third and short and in the red zone, and Barner mostly on screens and plays to the outside.  This is the only game there is, we're not guaranteed next week, so everything has to start going on the table.

Yeah I agree. Put it all on the line, empty the playbook while also playing responsibly. People call certain teams "lucky" in the playoffs, but honestly that's what it takes at this point in the season. A little bit of luck and trickery and do some stuff you haven't done before.

We're not going to suddenly start giving the ball to players who have barely been on the field all year unless there are some major injuries.

I don't know about that

 

Once you get to this level in the playoffs, it is a "all hands on deck" effort at this point

 

If you can run, catch, tackle you will be used

I have to respectfully disagree.  We've gone through 17 weeks in the season and Barner has done absolutely nothing to show he is capable of performing said plays in a regular season game let alone a playoff game.  I don't know that Williams has seen the field all year.  I agree that there should be some creativity but this looks to be reckless.

 

FYI.  about 5 or so posts from now someone will sarcastically recommend bringing AE back.

Which regular season game did Williams and/or Barner demonstrate the ability to run, catch or tackle?

Score all td's from 30 yards out. Redzone worries be damned.

Dwayne Jarrett not doing anything

    Right. Especially Barner. Already have Dwill, Tolbert and now Stew back so there is no need to put a rookie in. Deangelo has been killing it as our screen/ big play in space back. Just use him that way and pound Tolbert up the gut, spell him with Stew. I wouldn't mind seeing Williams but I doubt they change much this late. MORE no huddle would be huge! That defense just played in COLD weather and traveled and now has to travel again and deal with jetlag.  I think going nohuddle could wear them out early

good call....Let's go out and sign AE while we're at it.

This stream is so wide, lemme just change horses

Well I was way off.  It was 4 posts and a Dwayne Jarret reference.

Idk about Barners since the backfield is crowded, but i would like to see what Brandon Williams could do in the redzone or 3rd & short.
