He was going to be burried on the depth chart this year He only played because Pili was hurt the first game He hurt us badly in pass defense Often took wrong first steps in run fits
This year, Pili, Telander, Carter and others were ahead of him coming out of the spring
IMO he is a better Big 10 fit as a LB
Agreed Pirate, good against the run but an absolute detriment against the pass. With all of the young guys gaining experience I think we'll be ok.

We should crush them Don't take them lightly, their D is one of the best....our saving grace is that their O is one of the worst. It'll be game that will take our max effort on both sides. GO VOLS !!!

It might be time for CJH to start trusting him with more, because I'm not sure this banged-up defense can win games for us anymore. I think He must trust Joe with more, we're way to conservative and the D just kept creeping closer and closer to the line....I felt like I was watching Johnny Majors ("we've got the lead, run it and milk the clock). We must pass more to keep the D honest. I was sure we were gonna blow it, kuddos to the D hanging tough and shutting down the run, it was sad how we made one of the worst QBs in the conference appear to be all SEC caliber. All in all, a good win and I'm glad we have an easy one next week 'cause Mizzou is gonna be a dog fight. GBO!

For us to win, he absolutely must have a good game, doesn't need a great game IMO but we need the passing game to be effective in order to be able to keep the D honest or Bama will stack their front 7 to stop the run and their pass rush will kill Milton who typically is far too slow getting the ball out.

since the first quarter of his first game, that Milton is not a big time QB, but they will stay with him the rest of the year I fear. I just don't see them changing with Bama and Georgia coming up. To Milton's credit, he did seem to realize when to run and ran with ferocity this game. GOOO VOOOLLLLSSSS! I wish we had Hooker this year, we could be great!

Yeah those stat's are meaningless when schedules are factored in. The only way we win is if our LBs and DBs absolutely lock down all eligible receivers and we keep Rattler in the pocket where he can be sacked. Also, on offense we have to be able to run the ball consistently, if we have to depend on Joe we'll see a pick six (on one of the many bubble screens) and probably 3-4 sacks and another INT on a missed long throw. I can't understand why they haven't already made the move to Nico, we won't win more than 1 game if we stick with Joe....he simply doesn't have the brain nor the accuracy for this level of competition.

Apology accepted.....we're all licking our wounds after realizing that the season is over after 3 games (seems familiar). Mertz isn't a good QB but we evidently don't even have a decent one in the stables. I'm hoping maybe this embarrassment will let Joe relax and just sling the damn ball, just don't sit in the pocket and take sacks!

Arm tackling by the D killed us plus Joe throwing behind and over receivers. What really surprised me was the coaching staff showing ZERO confidence in Joe (i.e zero throws downfield), if they didn't let him work through the problem against this team, he definitely ain't gonna do it in the swamp or against SEC competition. If you don't trust him....replace him. You can't win in the SEC playing scared.

One of my friends played harmonica in the band occasionally and flew Jimmy around (retired Admiral)....he had nothing but good things to say about Jimmy.

Indicators say he's not elusive (bad news in the SEC, I know Milton isn't either but with our offense he can get rid of the ball quick plus we have great run game) and evidently a poor decision maker given the TD to INTs ratio (if he can't complete passes in the Big 10 he certainly won't improve in the SEC). Can't wait for FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESEE !
