Why did I only see Shaq late in the game?

[bmwparts]

I might be wrong but i didnt see him until the 4th quarter?? Why??

[ACPhilson]

Now that's a damn good question.

[bmwparts]

Can our coaches not get the right players on the field? This happened with Alshon &the took them all year before he got playing time

[ra742002]

Spurrier said in the post game presser they put him in early and he couldn't get lined up right, so they took him out.....wonder why it took so long to put him back in myself??

[garnetmike]

Coach commented on this after the game. He said Shaq totally lined up wrong on a couple of plays and they pulled him out. He got back in and did well.

But to help the team you have to show you can line up properly and run the play called every time.

Why does it matter? We did well enough to win without him. If he still can't line up right then he should watch from the sideline. Wr is less of an issue two games into this season than I had anticipated.

[Taco Tuesday]

So he couldn't line up correctly so he doesn't play and suddenly we need to move down the field and he in there? Spurrier's doghouse is foolish at times

[bmwparts]

It matters because he came in late in the game & uga couldn't gaurd him, so he doesn't know how to line up but all of a sudden he learned in the 4thgame quarter???? Thats bullshizz another excuse for bad coaching when he should have been out there playing!!

I truly get what you're saying but my reference to it mattering was more in response to the coaches comment about him being out of position. Not sure why this was so early and late he's in perfect position. Wr play wasn't an issue yesterday. Play calling and d play cost us this regardless of who's in the game. We punted what 3 times? His effort blocking may be questioned as well, who knows

Ask Jr

Ever wonder why we always seem to have problems with WRs getting on the field and living up to hype and expectations?

True. I'm still surprised with the Wrs we do get here and not surprised when we lose them to other schools.

[bmwparts]

look at the wr's stats.

jones had 6 for 97
davis (runningback) 4 for 49
shaq 3 for 48 (all in the 4th qtr)
bruce 1 for 13
Anderson 1 for 11
wilds 1 for 10

this shows lack of play or piss poor coaching! pick one

Don't think it really made a difference. The passing game didn't exactly struggle in his absence. Non-issue if Shaw doesn't fumble, Bruce catches that pass in the sun, or SC punches it in on 4th and goal.

He lined up wrong on a couple of plays, one of which was a run that was blown up bc he was not in position to make the block. The other resulted in him running the same route as another receiver or same area blowing up another play. You can't do that.

This about sums it up. A few plays here and there cost us. Offense played quite well in this game.

Hey man I agree Shaq must know his assignments BUT when you stick a fresh, talented guy in late in the game and is unguardable the few plays he gets to touj the ball it's discouraging from a fans point of view. My point is if Shaq couldn't line up correctly and then when you must move the ball quickly you put him in? That's Spurrier's doghouse antics that is bs especially in such a big game.

Not so sure of that, that's what was said. So the defensive guys lineup wrong, have busted plays & just overall stink it up the entire game 7 don't get pulled??? So he didn't know what to do. lined up wrong 2 times and gets pulled the entire game and then learned all of a sudden in the 4th quarter??? Not buying it, sound like more cover up for Jr to me. Remember Alshon, it took all year to get him on the field and SOS says "I guess it took us 6-7 games to figure out he can play" really??? really??

We had 1 WR with 6 catches (Jones) Bruce played the entire game & had 1 catch?? Byrd no catches, TE's 1 catch combined???? Shaq just in 1 series in the 4th 3 catches for 50 yards???

People have been saying this for years but why do we not use the TE's more often? Serious question
