Chris Doering's take on the Gators & their Fans

[LizardGrad89]

All that Little Loopy Lizzy is good for is a belly laugh now and then.

But he has a very refined 'selective memory' when it comes to anything, but even more so when it come to the iG, who has owned his dumbazz repeatedly here.

He's already been pretty much laughed out of the parking lot.... 🤣

Wow. The guy everybody has laughed at so much about space aliens that he's now getting more pity than anything else in here thinks he can say something this stupid and get away with it. You are so delusional it's well, sad.

Oh, but that's exactly what I said about Jones, and your exact response. You are the one with selective memory, geezer.

So I have a selective memory. Here is the page where we had that exact discussion, and you acted like a jackass. So I expect you to ignore the thread post, and give me your sleeping emoji, the one you use when you've been owned and know it. Unlike when you use the laughing emoji, the one you use when you've been owned but don't realize it.

Change is coming to the Gator's offense

And what's funny to me about that, is the guy you call a retard is liked more than any of the 3 un-liked turds floating around in the Gator punch bowl.... GN79 Posts 6996 - Likes 1725 = 24.6% So, how's it feel to be running your un-liked mouth at one of your many betters? With one or two...

Just wind up the Little Loopy Lizzy and watch him sputter and spin,,, repeatedly.... 😂 🤣 😂

There's hardly anyone left on here that will still even respond to your moronic crap with a laugh, so be nicer, or I'll even stop laughing at you and put you back on ignore where you really belong.... 🙄

 

[instaGATOR]

Just a FYI for the board.

Athlon doesn't even have the Gator's anywhere in their Preseason Top 25 poll.

247 doesn't have a single Gator RB in their Preseason Top 25 RB list.

All hope is already lost for the 2022 season.
So nobody should even bother to watch any of the games..... 😏

DraftKings Sportsbook projected win total: UF = 7 Wins

The pick: Even; All bets are off if Billy Napier rocks college football's opening weekend and takes out preseason Pac-12 favorite Utah — but the Gators aren't there yet.

Also, what happens if Florida struggles in September and stumbles out of the first month at 1-3 overall with SEC losses to Kentucky and Tennessee (in Knoxville)? Doubt will creep in and getting to bowl eligibility will be a challenge.

The schedule softens a bit to close out the season after tilt at Texas A&M and ultimately how Florida performs against South Carolina, Vanderbilt and Florida State will determine bowl placement.

If they begin at 1-3, then Max Brown would be the better bet than Miller imo...

Sporting News Pre Season Poll

Very similar ranking for the three top 10 teams we play; UK consistent; UT all over the board.

ATH - SI - ESPN - USA Today-Sporting News
#8 - #8 - #14 - #7 - #8 - Utah - home - Sept 3
#21 - NR - #21 - NR - #17-UK Wildcats - home - Sept 10

#3 - #2 - #2 - #3 - #3 - UGA - WLOCP in Jax - Oct 29
#5 - #5 - #6 - #5 - #5 - Texas A&M - College Station - Nov 5

I would be happy if we beat UK, UT & FSU IMO Utah, UGA, & aTm are losses. 8-3 would be an excellent season for the Gators !

8. Utah​

What changed? Utah coach Kyle Whittingham enters his 18th season with the program. The Utes picked up Florida linebacker Mohamoud Diabate in the transfer portal. He had 89 tackles for the Gators last season.

Diabate was a starter; I wonder what happened to make him
?transfer


Lowdown: The Utes have high expectations after making their first Rose Bowl appearance in 2021. Utah has won the Pac-12 South three of the last four seasons. Quarterback Cam Rising returns along with top rushers Tavion Thomas and Micah Bernard. Diabate should be an impact player on the defense. Utah gets a prove-it game at Florida in the opener.

Nick,

Thanks ! Math was never my best subject.

That will teach me to TRY to post intelligently late at night after drinking an adult beverage or two ! LOL

More than likely we will lose a 4th game from this group - Kentucky, Tennessee, LSU, or South Carolina.

Ending up 8-4 & earning a mid major bowl bid - hopefully in Florida - would be a reasonable improvement from last year

To beat the Gators, the way-over-rated Utes will have to run the ball down the Gator's throats all day/night.
I don't believe that they can do that, for a number of reasons.
I believe they will be forced to be one-dimensional, as I believe that the Gators can pretty much shut down their passing game. Why?

I wouldn't get too over confident with our chances of stopping the run game. I think we got the ball ran down our throats last season and it was even worse when some of the backups went in who will be big role players this season. Having Miller back should help though.

I'm hoping that having players lined up, down and set before the ball is hiked will help with things like that.

It's not a totally invalid prediction, between hurricanes and COVID, how often do we get in 12 games any more?

1. This ain't LAST YEAR that we're talking about, that's old news and now it's history.
2. The Coaching staff with their systems has changed the 2022 D.
3. The Roster has changed with some gone, some staying, and with FNG's arriving.

LB depth is both deep and talented, with 6th year MLB Ventrell Miller as the leader/anchor.

Time for some Q&A

Q - Can a true Fr play in the SEC trenches and be successful?
A - Some can, and some can't, same with every other position....

Standing at nearly 6-foot-4, 300 pounds with an 81-inch wingspan, this DT possesses a frame that is not only college-ready but can continue to be molded with additional muscle to improve his power while trimming down body fat to enhance his explosion off of the line of scrimmage.
Across 38 HS Gms in 4 years, 4-star Jamari Lyons tallied:
289 Tkl's, 41 sacks, 81 TFL, 12 PBU's, 3 Int's, 3 FF's.
Jamari's dominance began with 9 sacks as a freshman, and he posted career highs as a senior with a freakish 13 sacks and 37 tackles for loss.

The other incoming Fr is DT Chris McClellan, was an EE
Across just 16 HS Gms, 62 Tkls, 6 TFL, 4 Sacks, 1 FF, 1 FR.
Both Fr are likely to see some playing time in the rotation.
-----
DT Gervon Dexter 6-6 313 ***** Jr - Starter (projected ED to NFL)
2 seasons - 70 Tkls, 5.5 TFL, 2.5 sacks, 2 FR, 1 Int.

DT/NT Jaelin Humphries 6-3 330 rsSo - 2 Gms rsJr (injuries)

DT Jalen Lee 6-2 305 So - 13 Gms backup - 9 Tkls, 1.5 TFL

DT/NT Desmond Watson 6-5 395 So - 13 Gms backup, 7 Tkls, 0.5 Sac

DT Chris Thomas Jr 6-5 309 rsFr - 1 Gm / Bowl
HS Sr - 5 Gms, 97 Tkls, 32 TFL, 9 sacks, 5 QBH's, 1 FF, 1 FR

The iG's guess at 2022 starters in the Fall:
Dexter & Watson: with Lyons as backup and pushing hard for Watson's job.
Which of the others spell Dexter and Watson is yet to be seen, Fall decisions yet to be made.
=====
SDE - Umanmielen 6-4 259, Sapp 6-2 264
WDE - Cox 6-4 253, Powell-Ryland 6-2 245, Boone 6-4 245

But I won't be printing out my game-day O&D rosters until Sept 1st, and even then....

So basically the same squad that was so terrible last year.

But wait, something DID change. What was that again? Oh yeah, a new DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR and staff.

But wait Insta, shouldn't you be saying the defense will be worse this year? I mean, since we lost, in your eyes, the bestest defensive coordinator in the history of football?

But then, consistency, or even logic, have never been your strong suits.

Jeff, I don't have enough info yet to go making game pre-dic-tions on what might be the Gator's 2 toughest opponents for 2022. The last week in August could be the earliest for dic's on those 2 games.

Heck, we don't even have a solid idea on who the starters and primary backups are going to be, just WaG's....

As to what some call courtesy now daze Jeff,,, I'm just not good at being PC, nor am I much interested in it.
Think Walter Mathall or Jack Lemmon in 'Grumpy Ole Men',,,, it's more of a 'style' than any real 'meanness.'
But, if I happen to really offend a snowflake or two along the way, that's just fine wid me.... 😉

Much as I've been saying since before the O&B game...
Ran Del Rio-Wilson off in order to take xfer Miller, that was Billy's 1st mistake imo.

 

[GatorNation79]

I was trying to build an argument, and must say I was shocked to discover we had the 15th ranked offense last year, even after firing Dan and having stumblebums coach us the last couple of games. Honest to God, if Dan could recruit (and wasn't such an oddball) he could be one of the all-time great coaches.

So ok, I agree, we lost significant production. The offense will almost certainly take a step back. Still, if we even try a little bit on defense this year I think we will be better.

Well...anything on defense will be an improvement lol

Except for the players that missed the game and late transfers I don't expect much change from the spring game since Napier was stressing the depth was mostly struggling. I think the Blue offense was the current 1s and the same with the orange defense but would have to review that to be sure.

Antwaun Powell-Ryland 6-2 245 rsJr

TE/QB Hayden Hansen 6-6 256 4.79/40 - Weatherford, TX
(blue-collar, very smart, big hands, solid blocker)
With 2 other very talented Fr TE's that will be coming in with him....
=====

Why could a Group of 5, 3-star RB do well in a RB room with 2 5-stars & an experienced 4-star, and an incoming Fr 4-star?
Because he was the 2021 Sun Belt Fr PoY at ULL.

Per CBN - RB Montrell Johnson 5'11.5" - 217 So.

He hit 21.5 mph last year in a game on his GPS.
He’s got a big lower half.
He’s got contact balance.
He can protect.
He can catch.
Rush - 162 for 838 yds, 5.2 ypc, 12 TD's
Rec. -- 6 for 53 yds, 8.8 yds/rec
~ He also had 2 Solo Tkls with a sack.

And he played well in the UF O&B game.
If you melted down the other 4 RB and poured out one combo, it might be MJ.
The 2022 RB Starter? (doesn't really matter, committee RB's)
I'm thinking that the 2022 RB Committee just might be something special.

"Napier does a great job of using everyone's skills to the best of their ability and be able to, you know, get everyone incorporated in the offense,” Montrell said. “I think he does a great job of that, and I think we'll do a lot of that during the 2022 season."

Fev, I'm thinking that due to the massive changes Coaches/System/Roster, that there could be some pretty big adjustments or changes after they've had 8 months to build up and learn, rather than there was with just a couple of months to adjust.

You could be right. Imo though you would only see non-injury changes with something like Wright beating out Johnson and that transfer receiver pushing Whittemore possibly.

We are all just guessing at this point during 'talking season.'

Who starts among the RB's won't matter much, except to the RB's maybe.
"Napier does a great job of using everyone's skills to the best of their ability and be able to, you know, get everyone incorporated in the offense,” Montrell said. “I think he does a great job of that, and I think we'll do a lot of that during the 2022 season."

JMOHO, Shorter & Whittemore are pretty firm as the starters.
That FNG WR will pressure for the #3 WR spot.

But many of the other positions are still TBD (to be determined) in the Fall camp.

It matters. You need the main guy to be someone who can block and get the tough yards when you need them. Mullen didn't use the starter as much as he should have last season imo.

We've been here before Fev, and you still haven't adjusted your thinking to the fact that the QB's took up 194 carries (143+50), while RB's DP&MD only got 192 carries (100+92).

AR 7.9 ypc on 50
DP 5.7 ypc on 100
EJ 5.3 ypc on 143
MD 5.3 ypc on 92 - plus the best receiver
JMOHO of course, but your endless hounding on Dan for his RB use is pretty tired/boring & senseless....

Note: the 2 QB combo got more yards with a higher YPC than the 2 RB combo did, so who do you take the carries away from, to give DP more???
Now keep in mind that Dan's running game got more Yds & YPC vs SEC D's, than Billy's did with his running game vs Sun Belt D's.....

My point is our starter should have had a lot more carries than the next RB. We all know Mullen runs the hell out of the QB when he has one that can run good.

Okay Fev, I tried very hard to be nice about this, but I guess I'll just have to bitch-slap you again with reality, since it didn't take the 1st time I gave you this information.

Pierce - 100 for 586 yds, 5.7 ypc, 13 TD's, L-27
Davis ---- 92 for 513 yds, 5.3 ypc, 5 TD's, L-32

Would you be happy if the split was:
DP 150 carries to MD's 42 carries, for a more than 3 to 1 difference???
We'll take 50 (over half) of Davis's carries away and give them to Pierce.

What would that have resulted in?
Plus - 50 x 5.7 = 285 yds
Minus 50 x 5.3 = 256 yds
The total season rushing yards difference = 29 yards. 🤓

Pierce should have had 50+ more of the total RB carries. That was crazy giving the next guy almost the same number.

Go find an adult that can explain what I posted.
I'm typing real slow this time....

The main RB returning for the 2022 season:

Nay'Quan Wright 5-9 201 rsJr
Rush - 76 for 358 yds, 4.3 ypc, 1 TD, L-34
Rec --- 14 for 178 yds, 12.71 Yds/Rec, 1 TD, L-51

This is nothing more than the iG's very early before Fall Camp opinion, but my WaG for the 2022 RB depth chart:

Johnson 5-11 210 So (21.5 mph on GPS)
Lingard 6-0 205 rsJr (has to remain healthy)
The ET 5-9 218 Fr (Etienne)
Wright 5-9 201 rsJr - (coming back after off-season ankle surgery)
~ He had a similar injury in HS to his other ankle.
Bowman 5-10 183 rsSo - loads of talent, but he has to cure his fumbleitis and be consistent with his running.

Some of you might ask: But a Fr RB???
Well, I remember Taylor/Rhett/Smith/etc,,, so yeah, a Fr might do fine, depends on the Fr, so again, we'll see....

Naive Mullen would yank Pierce many times right when he started abusing the defense which was crazy - about as crazy as starting Franks over Trask that year. Decisions like those are why Mullen didn't go to AR sooner which helped seal his fate.

Last Chance. One more try, and then I give up on you.
Then it's back to the confetti throwing FeveredBrains label for you....

Pierce (100) & Davis (92) combined for 1,099 yds
Pierce with 150 carries would have been + 285 yds, 871 yds.
Davis with 42 carries would have been -256 yds, 257 yds.
Making the new Combined Total Yds = 1,128

1,128 is ONLY 29 more yards than 1,099....

Yep and you can keep looking at your pictures of the legend Grantham.
