The bad halves have been a continuous problem since CWM took over, which leads me to believe there is a real issue with in-game adjustments (rather than pre-game or halftime adjustments). And while I do believe most of the players truly LIKE CWM, there's a difference between liking someone and running through a wall for them. As we've seen this year, there are definitely a few players (ahem, Reshad Jones, ahem) that aren't willing to do that.David Halehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02872368286061273646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-50855338043244768092008-12-11T12:39:00.000-05:002008-12-11T12:39:00.000-05:00With all due respect 12th Man Dawg Fan, why did we...With all due respect 12th Man Dawg Fan, why did we have to spot WV 28 points, before we started stopping their offense? Why did we have to spot Alabama 31 points in the first half before we started to stop them? Why did we have to spot UT 28 points in the first half in 07? Why did we have to spot UT 37 points in the second half of 06? There are many more examples, but these were just the worst ones I could remember. <BR/><BR/>I think that Chazington has it right. The players are not inspired by WM and are not ready to fight for him. Please understand, there is a reason why General Patton's soldiers would walk through fire for him and it was not because he knew the x's and o's of war.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-84593321883086300222008-12-11T09:15:00.000-05:002008-12-11T09:15:00.000-05:00Everyone talks about this starting with the WV gam...Everyone talks about this starting with the WV game. Didn't WM make some pretty good adjustments at the half there? Seems like we pretty much shut them out (maybe one score) in the second half.<BR/><BR/>Or am I misrembering the game?

However, you could see these problems before the WV game and it has only become worse so I am doubtful it will change. We will have to wait for another year for Richt to do anything. Richt's real problems will begin when we no longer have an offense that can (sometimes) score alot. All heck will break lose then.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-7518745038986680122008-12-10T13:26:00.000-05:002008-12-10T13:26:00.000-05:00"ou take the second half, and we played the comple..."ou take the second half, and we played the complete opposite. It wasn't that they did anything different", sorry but thats not true, CPJ even said as much, they adjusted there crack backs to block down on the containman(DE and OLB), leaving the safety or corners to excute containment, Martinez never adjusted to that the entire second half. Thats COACHING, or lack of coaching. Also no mention of the "chest bump tackles"<BR/><BR/>Its funny because Coach Donnan said the same thing on the radio after the game, CPJ adjusted and Martinez did not, Martinez has relied on talent to make a play as opposed to adjusting the game plan, thats why theres great 1/2s and terrible 1/2s, the game plan works 1 half and doesn't the next, CM has a history of bad halfs.<BR/><BR/>Sorry I rambled on(no pun i'm as Big a DAWG fan as there is), just venting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162716793249150680.post-80709451420126672212008-12-10T13:20:00.000-05:002008-12-10T13:20:00.000-05:00Martinez just dosen't look like a leader of men to...Martinez just dosen't look like a leader of men to me. I believe he knows the X's and O's as well as anyone. I believe he is a good man. He just dosen't seem to inspire his players to love him enough or fear him enough to follow him up that hill into enemy fire. <BR/><BR/>You can't teach it. He can't learn it. He a'int got it. So, we'll have to suffer through until Richt is forced to make a move.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
