Dogs need to play a complete game


So far the Dogs have played two games (1-1). We still aren't firing on all cylinders. Yes, we have a lot to work on in different areas but the turnovers and our time of possession are killing us. Three turnovers in both games, we are lucky to be 1-1 with that going on. Time of possession was basically 25 minutes for both games. It's killing our defense and only making our opponents defense stronger.

Dogs offense - Bobo has got to start pounding the football. Yes run with Samuel or King or whoever...lead them with Chapas, abuse the defense and tire them out by the second half. I don't think we should even use Thomas in the first half, use him later in the game after their defense is gassed.

We have got to start utilizing Orson Charles - he is clearly a mismatch with his speed and can be a game changer.
And of course look for AJ Green early and often. Use him often because of obvious reasons. Use him early so their defense keys to him and Cox can light up other receivers.

Dogs Defense - We have to stop the run - the Dogs defense surrendered 172 yards rushing to the Pokes and 114 to the Cocks - that will not win many games. I am not sure why our veteran line is getting pushed around but we need to get it fixed.
We need a pass rush - I hope Justin Houston comes in and crushes Mallett. We need it and he is S-L-O-W.

Overall the Dogs have played two tough games. The pigs haven't played jack shizz. It helps us because we have played competition but it favors them because they have been planning for us. Only time will tell...

Tossing a bone: What if Bobo and Richt have been hiding plays so far, plays they have been waiting to surprise the pigs with? What if that is why we haven't seen Logan, this could be his hawg dance! Maybe we haven't ran the field with Marlon, Wooten, Green and Charles because that will be our first offensive set come Saturday?!? I'm fired up! I hope we see the Dogs slaughter the Hogs Saturday night!
