9-7 scores

u cant win a game with no defense. buggy has led the team as much as anyone possibly could. the play calls arent bad either. its the execution of the play calls. when u throw a 15 yd out and the receiver lets the ball hit him in the hands and drops it what do u want amerto to do? when its third and 4 and they call a bubble route and the receiver drops the ball when no ones within 10 yards whos fault is it? would u take a chance on people that havent proven themselves so far this year or would u give the ball to the one proven player kincaid? helms and everyone around knows kincaid is the only constant the titans have right now. u cant throw bombs when the receiver doesnt even look for the ball(happened friday nite at rs). u cant come out and throw deep when the corners are giving a 12 yd cushin. the offensive play calling is fine its the people that cant finish the play or sometimes even line up right that mess it up. i mean play callin cant be that bad kincaid leads the state in rushing. come on people wise up.

 

Good points,Remember OJ Simpson lead his team and the league in rushing many times and how many super bowl rings does he have to show for it.

 

fmrtitangreat is right. Every point he made is true. Buggy is a proven player and hes gonna get his no matter what. The offense is not the problem at all, there just aint no mean defensive players on the team. Helms play calling is great he cant help it they cant catch it when they do throw.

 

Crest runs a spread offense, but the first thing they want to do out of it is establish the run. Coach Kirby has talked about Tommy Knotts offense. Even though they throw the ball around, the first thing you have to do to beat them is stop the run.

 

several people have made the point of stopping the run and its true. every year independence has a great runningback. the spread allows for good runners because imaagine this it spreads the defense out lol. last year kincaid had great games but it was because he broke 3 runs of 65 or more out of the I formation. but the rest of the time it was three and punt. this year he is getting runs of 20 or 10 or 12 which are all first downs and moving the chains.after the defense gets worn a little he breaks the bigone and u cant catch him. if you cant throw a pass and know that theres a good chance someones going to catch it, wouldnt u give it to buggy who you know on average is gonna get 9.8 yds?

 

The coaching staff may have tripled but the paid positions have not, the extra staff is all people who help for no pay, and as for what a sports team gets to spend, each sport has a budget and they can buy all they want as long as they stay under that budget,i agree with the others who said the football program has been falling since the mid 90's maybe befor, there is not one solution to the problem unless you can provide more football players that know football not just is on madden
