[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 196099, member: 2426"] I don't remember if it was in a call in show or a press conference, but Johnson spoke to this about half way through the season. He said that last year after the UNC game, he told the defense that they needed to get off of the field. He said he didn't care if they: held the other offense, got a turnover, or let the other offense score -- he wanted to get the other offense off of the field. The reason was that the offense was so good last year that he felt we would score. The defense took more chances after the UNC game. They gave up more big plays, but they also created turnovers. He said that he had expected the offense to be less effective this year, but that he had expected the defense to improve with all of the seniors. The offense was less effective, but the defense did not step up. That is what CPJ has been saying this year, not that all of the team problems are caused by the defense and that "his" offense is perfect. He admits that the offense hasn't been as efficient. If people actually listened to what he has said since spring practice, he consistently said that the offense was not very good. Last year there was a lot of senior leadership in the offensive backfield, and the offense thrived. He has been saying that he was expecting the senior leadership in the defensive backfield to take up the slack that the loss of leadership on the offense created. If people actually listen to the words that CPJ uses, and not try to read something extra into it, they would realize that he usually just provides basic facts. There are industries created around: recruiting, betting, radio broadcasting, online media, etc. Those industries depend on hype. They want football to be exciting 24/7. Many of the SEC fans that I know believe that trash talk before a game is just as important as what happens on the field. The truth is that football is exciting for 60 minutes of play time. For the coaches and players, the rest of the week is a lot of work and a lot of study that most fans would not find exciting at all. [/QUOTE]
