Offense equals poop

[ElectricalCock89]

On who else scored or had a turnover

"Not many. Like I said, we had some drives that we didn't finish. Whether we got in scoring territory and we missed a field goal or we got into scoring territory and had some negative yardage plays on offense that took us out of field goal range.

 

[Bassslayer]

Sellers even play? Hmm.

 

[Lurker123]

Scrimmages dont mean a lot to me. But I sure would like to hear that our offense was operating smoothly.

Not looking good for all the money we spent on Sanders. Claiming he's 100% healthy but he can't participate in the first scrimmage isn't a good sign.

I believe they know how good he is, why take a chance, let’s see what the backups can do = smart!

 

[ElectricalCock89]

May be the first time in a VERY long time that we won’t have a good kicker.

Isn't he coming off a major injury? Do we really know how good he is?

This might be valid for an experienced player at the school, but not for a transfer player who missed spring practice and doesn't have real reps with the team.

Offense might take a step back for a little bit.

 

[ElectricalCock89]

Not having a real delightful feeling for this offense.

 

[Lurker123]

As long as "little bit" is the first patsy game.

We have a pretty pivotal game 2.

I think we will handle them. Our defense will definitely be our strength, until our offense wears them down….

Why do you think that? On the road for an inexperienced quarterback against a sec opponent. Color me concerned somewhat.

Is that even possible for a team with zero offense?

Hearing Ashford working with first team. If we have "quarterback by committee", that won't be good. If you have 2 first team QBs, you actually have none.

 

[gamecock stock]

Absolutely. And DC White is a good coach.

Did you hear if there was a good reason Ashford was working with 1's?

Found this article, and it speaks to it a little.

South Carolina's Shane Beamer Recaps Gamecocks First Preseason Scrimmage

South Carolina's Shane Beamer praised LaNorris Sellers' poise and growth during the first preseason scrimmage, as he steps into the starting quarterback role. Beamer also noted progress from Robby Ashford and Davis Beville ahead of the season opener on August 31.

No injuries, no illness, just spreading it around a little. I would prefer if it's sellers, that we pick him and stick with him. He is young and inexperienced, I'd like to see hum get as much work as possible.

The real problem is that Ashford showed he wasn't an SEC caliber QB at Auburn. If we are relying on him to play, we are in serious trouble.

Have not heard. It's concerning. Agree regarding Sellers. Go with him in the first game against the patsy. Teams and players improve the most from Game 1 to Game 2.

I understand the concern after last season. But some people are at Max Defcon.

Ashford has been loyal. And playing hard. What head coach would not give him a chance on a few plays?

And it keeps LaNorris under pressure. Can he hande the pressure on game day?

Rocket has proven himself when healthy. So limit the contact and keep him healthy?

Maybe. As much as the summer is for unbridled optimism, this time of year is for dissecting every comment to try and prognosticate on what we'll see in a few weeks.

Kickoff can't get here fast enough.

So just to be specific two starting rb’s out for the year already. That might work out for texas and tamu, but not something we need!

Can't be afraid of injuries. Are we going to sit Sanders for every scrimmage up until the first game?

Not afraid, just cautious, like I said we know what he can do, if the coaches think they need to hold him back a scrimmage why can't you accept it without slamming every single thing! I can just imagine the comments if he had gone down in the first scrimmage of the year.

Have our coaches earned that trust? Or is our HC known to be dishonest about our injury reports?

Another Texas RB Clark (achilles, year) and also a UK RB Trayanum (broken hand, 3-4 games) go down.

My feelings exactly. When was the offense ever consistent to begin with?

And I thought Sellers had won the starting qb job? Dang that's a bit concerning if he hasn't by now or maybe I'm just misreading that.

Could just be a matter of making sure the #2 guy is ready to run the team if needed.

If Sellers is not the starting QB in Game 1, that will be stunning news.

The fanbase would melt down if Sellers isn't the QB in Game 1

 

[GoCocksFight2021]

Shawn Elliott was a good addition to this offensive staff. Very happy with that hire. I expect he will be more like co-offensive coordinator than just run game coordinator and TE coach.

I'm very impressed with all the new staff additions, only time will tell, I see our run game being much better, also our receivers and recruiting.

Robbie put the rumors to rest in his interview. I think he'll play and have some designed packages, but he knows he's #2. I was very impressed with him though, he's sharp and an asset!
