Out of the 30 games this guy has coached for our team this one was the biggest example of him weighing the team down. It was so clear HE was the issue.
Thanks James. Another fantastic review. Love your stuff. Any chance you wanna cut up a couple key plays into shorts so I can share them with my buddies who are too lazy to watch the full two hour review? I resort to filming my laptop with my phone and texting it to some die hard gators.
Salute to you and your content as always. I hit the like button before playing the video as a thank you since you decided to come back and review this crime scene😒😒😒
I don't mean to sound trivial, I think it makes a difference, but it seemed like the whole game that Tennessee lined up offsides. Maybe I am being too critical. What do you think?
As always, love love love the content! And the Billy offense is the most frustrating offense ever to watch. I just can’t get over the predictability, it’s as predictable as a calendar. Why night a varying play call under center? Why not a deep route combo at 3rd and 5 when the D is in umbrella around the sticks? Why not use J. Jackson for perimeter runs since that’s his strength and gets chunk yards in that play. He would be my favorite offense to game plan against if I were a D Coord. No variation from week to week. Hopefully DJL does better than Mertz in progression reads and not keying in on 1 route, only way to save BN’s offense from the grave is DJL
I slightly tweaked my ankle playing basketball once. It wasn't serious. Just made me limp a little running down court. A minute later, I sprained it. Injuries don't have to be sudden.
Did you see the quotes from Mertz about when he injured his knee? (They came out after my review, but for those in Knoxville, it was clear that something happened to him on the run play, as just a few seconds later he could barely walk.)
Sadly, it's similar to what happened to him last year. He runs through two guys to pick up a first down. Next play, he hands the ball off and comes out with a broken collarbone.
Honest question, because I think it may be the best case scenario with the recruiting and portal calendar, would you be satisfied (provided they win at least 3 more games) with Napier being retained on the condition that he is forced to hire an OC and relinquish play calling duties?
One of the worse play caller I've seen. He doesn't play to his QB strengths but he will force them to play to his brand and his atrocious offense. It's why I was so worried about lagway coming here. I don't understand why he runs a bunch of dummy routes! He forces the Qb to have one read and if it's not open we are stuck. He doesn't spread the field he elects to run a 1000 hitches, screens and runs into an 8 man box. Napier is certified nut case! He doesn't have a flow of the game no type of rhythm. He has one mode! He stubborn as hell. He has to know this isn't working. And when he fails he always saying they didn't execute because he would damned if his plays isn't working. It's just a bad play call
Damn. I give credit Napier for keeping the team focused and fighting. The players showed up and are looking better on both sides of the ball. Just hard to defend his game day gaffes.
There is no perfect solution, only tradeoffs. Despite the struggles this season, Lane Kiffin makes the most sense for a variety of reasons but still has downside. (If Cig gets a few more wins at Indiana, he should merit serious consideration.)
Honest and serious question here, do you think Billy truly watches film after games and sees that defenses guess his play calls ‘most’ of the time? I’m being serious. One reason I think “execution” can be overrated is that if the opponent knows what play you’re going to run and guesses right most of time, the play is virtually dead most times, that’s our offensive identity. (I.e. running against 8 to 9 man boxes, double covering Tre when that’s where we are going to, inside leverage in Tre’s slant routes, lining up opponent defenses on 3rd down right underneath the sticks knowing we’re not going to throw past the sticks, predictable jet sweeps, etc.). It’s just insanity, same predictable calls over and over and over again, and defenses guessing right most of the time
It seems to me that he doesn't view football through the lens of EV. He views it through blocking and tackling, where if they execute the play better, they would have gotten the result they wanted. (Instead of running a better play for the situation that leads to a much larger margin of error and chance of winning on that play)
I used to hate the bubble screen. Now I wish I never had to see hitch routes again. Billy seems to have no feel for offensive play calling. I wish Lagway could call his own plays. Frustrating.
This game, more so than the Miami or A&M blowouts, proves to me that Billy can't coach at this level. Too many stupid mistakes and bad play calls in critical moments.
It is abundantly clear that Billy is in WAY over his head, especially on the road, and most especially in these big SEC games. The "go for two" should have been a simple decision made early in that drive...and he should have been communicating with the staff saying "hey, what is DJ's favorite play?' THAT is what they should have done...instead, they were coaching him up on the trick play from the sideline...and ran out of time. Execution, execution, execution. Billy Napier's game execution is horrible.
3 things are guaranteed in life. Death, taxes, and Napier having every receiver run a hitch route on third and long 😂
Out of the 30 games this guy has coached for our team this one was the biggest example of him weighing the team down. It was so clear HE was the issue.
The people that are still not done on Billy clearly haven't watched this channel. Or maybe they love hitches and screens with no blocking. Brilliant.
Great as always! I can only imagine how tough it is to break this down every week because it's impossibly hard to watch every Saturday!!!
Fuggin love this channel
🙏
Great video, as always. I look forward to this every week.
Appreciate the love!

You are 100% right
They definitely got a way with a few.
DJ Dimes haha that's sick let's gooo

I would not be. He has more critical faults than just believing he is Kyle Shanahan. He has earned being fired.

He’s playing NFL Blitz out there 😂😂😂 1:07:28 stop it to funny
We keep being critical on how bad the O-line is at times, but Billy does them no favors with how predictable his play calls are. SMH
@GNFP you get to hire our next HC. Who are you going with?

OH hat could have been if Billy had hired a top notch OC year one.
It could have been better than this!
Why is every route a hitch one should have been a verical
This was the most billy game of all time
I used to hate the bubble screen. Now I wish I never had to see hitch routes again. Billy seems to have no feel for offensive play calling. I wish Lagway could call his own plays. Frustrating.
We need an offensive coordinator so bad
Napier is the worst Florida head coach in history since WW2
Who was worse before WW2?
He will be the second worst, winning percentage-wise, of all time if he wins only one more game this season.
Oh brother. They say as film gets longer the worse it gets. So that’s how this got to be 2 hours 😭😭
I already know he's going to be disappointed when it's a 2 hour long video lmao
This game, more so than the Miami or A&M blowouts, proves to me that Billy can't coach at this level. Too many stupid mistakes and bad play calls in critical moments.
Bad coaching lost this game and bad play calling.
I don't think he had a read . I think it was a jet sweep
Mertz plus Napier is a bad combination lol

Execution, execution, execution. Billy Napier's game execution is horrible.
Barber has become a complete liability at LT. Several plays he does one kick slide and swings the gate wide open
He hasn't been a stud there, I do think he would be a very solid right tackle in the SEC.
Frustrating 🤮
