Just in case anyone wants to talk about this.  :inughout:

How the hell does a national broadcast network not have a better camera angle of that play? This is JP-quality. :banghead:

It is going to be a long day if they can't cover those wr's better. Hope for a lot of Bama turnovers.

Why are we constantly going up tempo against them with a qb we don't trust?

I would slow it down and snap the ball with one second left on the play clock every play and try to end this misery quickly.

If there was an Andy Griffith Show episode on, I would watch it.

How do you compete with these bastages?  We have not come close to pressuring Jones.


Title: Awful defense

Piss pour coverage, piss pour tackling. They will hang at least 50 on us.  :pin:

OL looking good. If we can run, maybe we can make throws easier. Gotta get points here.

Will Bama have to punt again today?


Title: Re: Game thread........
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on October 24, 2020, 10:43:05 EDT
We're going to allow a fizzleing bammer to break Tee Martin's record...in Neyland, with Tee on the sideline. Sounds about right. :bird:

We did make them punt again.

I get they're great on offense, but we aren't challenging them at all on D.

Because it worked for Ole Miss.  Hasn't been working that badly for us, actually.  Caught bammer in a substitution penalty one time and have kept them off guard pretty well.  Saban infamously does not like the hurry up, tried to get it banned at one point.

Nope.  We stopped them. In a single game sense anyway.   :powert:

I'll counter you thusly:

1. We ain't Ole Miss and can't do (and don't attempt to do) what they do on offense.

2. We did it last week too, and it was equally ineffective.

CBS guys said Vols still have life. One guy commented JG had played well and they moved the ball well at times. The other guy asked "who is going to tackle" and they all laughed.

Offense has not been bad really.  Not great, but better than expected.

Pass defense continues to be piss poor. Even allowing for the facts that Matt Jones is one of the best QBs in the country, bama offense is literally THE best and they made uga look silly in second half last week, we still can do better than this.

Only bright spots on pass D are that Thompson and Taylor both had nice breakups.  Thus I am going to continue to think they have great individual talent, must be coaching or lack of pass rush and/or a bit of underperforming by both, but I wouldn't bench them just yet lol.

Damn I was just going to comment about no turnovers so far. Never mind. :hurl:

Why do the coaches we hire suddenly get to Knoxville and forget how to coach? We hire them because they are good coaches....right? Then what happens that we haven't looked well coached for a few years now? This team doesn't.  Two snaps... a fumble for td and a false start.


Title: Re: Game thread........
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on October 24, 2020, 11:44:22 EDT
At this point, CBS might as well just deploy a camera to UTMC and devote their coverage to Waddle at the hospital. This game is a nothingburger, and that's all they can talk about anyway. :frown:

Coaches have thrown in the towel again.

Post by: volsboy on October 24, 2020, 11:51:30 EDT
Serious question....where would JG be on Bama's depth chart? Yet he still does his arrow routine. Is he good enough to be that cocky?


Title: Re: Game thread........
Post by: Black Diamond Vol on October 24, 2020, 11:52:33 EDT

Down 4 scores, 3rd and 7 on their end of the field, and THAT'S what you run?

Yeah, the white flag is out. :hurl:

If they have then that is unacceptable.

That stupid run play on 3rd and 7 makes me think you might be right.   :frown:

Oh BTW, Schiano won today in his first game back at Rutgers. So get ready for the snark from Wolken, Forde, and Co. this week. :rolleyes:

That's the last thing on my mind at the moment.  I doubt it even comes up.

What?  I thought they had thrown in the towel.    :dance:

As to your point about chucking it downfield, we tried that a few times in the first half, Palmer dropped one and bammer covered the others.  Also in the Uga game our second half playcalling was criticized for only throwing long and not giving JG any outlet routes.

So...

We played the pipe for you,

and you did not dance;

we sang a dirge,

and you did not mourn.

Nevermind the scoreboard. :frown:

How long have they been doing that? It is annoying. Who in the stadium doesn't know it's third down? Get off my lawn!

Too late to act like Pruitt was really "going for it" in this game.  The onside kick just now is even more hilarious.

The game is over. Why not let other qb's play.

Bama's defense is their Achilles heel this year. A good offense will beat them. Do they face any good offenses this year in the SEC from here on out?

I see you are still 12 years old. No the Vols were no where near prepared. Is that not the same old story? Plus I just love how it gets your panties in a wad to think I like Bama.

So do you think todays Vol team would beat KY today?  If so, that is a bummer to think about. They are behind Mizzou late in their game today.

Well, on to Fayetteville. Another pick'em.
