Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 06:10:17 EST Nice start
Bailey with touch on two downfield throws Nice routes by both Palmer and Warren :powert: Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 06:12:34 EST To heck with all the crap we've seen this year. Let's just win this game. Jimbo needs another embarrassing loss. :thumbup:
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 06:21:49 EST Burrell 15 yards off his receiver
Taylor follows the slot inside while the WR runs free At least Flowers closed fast The fumble they recovered was cause by Henry T’s nice play on the option, played it very well Oh and their #54 got away with an obvious hold on a Mond keeper to the right, sprung him Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 06:29:00 EST The sack was a coverage sack
Zero receivers open nor came back to help like 88 did the play before Haven’t seen Hyatt in the game yet Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 06:38:17 EST That’s twice that Taylor has doubled the slot and left the outside receiver uncovered
The safeties are playing better today Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 06:40:39 EST We gotta keep this close the first half. Second halves haven't been good to us this season.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 19, 2020, 06:43:24 EST I propose a rule change: allow a defense to "forfeit" on third down, moving the ball one yard past the marker and giving the offense 1st and 10. I believe this would be a net positive for us. :frown:
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 06:46:02 EST Interesting
When the they swapped ends for the 2 quarter the corners swapped sides Taylor stayed on the West side Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 06:46:54 EST Are we going to be able to stop these guys from here on out? Was our first score just an aberration? I guess the answers will be forthcoming. Those two scoring drives looked too easy.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 06:53:01 EST Should have been 15 yards on 8 for a hit in the head
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 06:55:53 EST Mond is cool back there. Bailey just needs experience.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 07:04:14 EST Nice defense after the atm TO
Well played Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: murfvol on December 19, 2020, 07:04:38 EST I'll take holding them to 3 there. Can we keep them under 20 this half? If so, I'll take it.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 07:05:37 EST Shroud going in
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: JeffCountyVolFan on December 19, 2020, 07:05:59 EST If that had been Mond, the pass was incomplete. His arm had started forward.
SEC office will protect that #5 BCS ranking at all costs. $$$$$ Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 07:11:28 EST What a catch
Far less drama if he hadn’t ‘t been held Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 07:14:22 EST We can't let them score every possession. If we get a few stops it could be a barn burner.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: Creek Walker on December 19, 2020, 07:17:58 EST We can't let them score every possession. If we get a few stops it could be a barn burner. Well for that to happen Tennessee would have to be capable of covering a receiver, and that isn't going to happen. I don't know if I've ever seen a Tennessee team so incapable of pass coverage. The only hope is that A&M self-destructs. Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: murfvol on December 19, 2020, 07:19:25 EST Went in the kitchen to snag lunch. Did we miss a stupid extra point?
Title: Re: Game Thread.........

I don't know if I've ever seen a Tennessee team so incapable of pass coverage. The only hope is that A&M self-destructs. Never mind. They self-destruct with a holding penalty and Tennessee self-destructs right back with a stupid unnecessary roughness penalty. Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 07:27:12 EST Never mind. They self-destruct with a holding penalty and Tennessee self-destructs right back with a stupid unnecessary roughness penalty. that’s ok, the FIX is inBailey gets knocked woozy by a DIRECT helmet to helmet hit and we get called for a bull shizzle call in retaliation! fizzle the white hat! Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: BanditVol on December 19, 2020, 07:28:31 EST If that had been Mond, the pass was incomplete. His arm had started forward.

Well there's no doubt that the SEC is doing its part to try to get a second team into the CFP. Per typical. But does it really matter? It feels like TAMU's offense is treating this game like a scrimmage. They're pretty much able to do whatever they want to do. Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: BanditVol on December 19, 2020, 07:31:59 EST Disappointed in the mistakes, the fumble by Bailey (bad call notwithstanding) and the really stupid hands to the face by Johnson. Without those two avoidable mistakes, it's probably really close right now.
We are still not out of it. And earlier in the season aside, the last three games the 2nd half hasn't been awful (with the exception of the stupid JG pick 6 against Auburn), so I expect good things in the second half. We will see! :naughty: Unfortunately the steers and queers get the ball first. :doh: Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 07:34:18 EST EVERY TIME THEY MOTION A RECEIVER I TO THE FLAT HE IS NOT, REPEAT, NOT COVERED!!!!!
EVER SINGLE fizzleIG TIME! FIRE our Defensive Cordinator! Safeties Are playing better, our corners can’t cover their shadow, our ILBs are too slow and our DL can’t get pressure Other than that, our defense is playing great Offense is actually not offensive, which is a first IMO Cooper is playing better at center than Kennedy Title: Re: Game Thread.........

We did cover it a couple times though, and well. Just need consistency. Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 07:42:48 EST I see Bielema is going to coach at Illinois. That's a good fit for him.

Just need consistency. when they optioned him over we never covered himTaylor twice has failed to cover an outside receiver, choosing to double the inside slot Late in the half we played more zone Also, for most of the 2nd quarter Lawrence was playing Star - not sure they threw at him Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 07:50:18 EST Case in point on the first play
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 07:51:26 EST Thompson in for Burrell
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: murfvol on December 19, 2020, 07:56:21 EST I blame poor secondary play on Pruitt spending his time with the DL. Had he not canned Rocker, Pruitt could spend time with LBs and DBs. As it is, Ansley is stuff trying to coach 5/11 or 6/11 of the defense by himself. That doesn't work.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 07:59:23 EST JT with a nice pass then a couple of clunkers
#16 can only PI in coverage What the hell was that last call?!? Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:00:57 EST Burrel and Thompson have essentially swapped positions here in the 2nd half and Lawrence still playing Star
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 19, 2020, 08:09:52 EST OMG JUST fizzleING STOP WITH WELCOME TO THE fizzleING JUNGLE.
When you give up 3rd down after 3rd down after 3rd down, it just becomes...sad. Maybe the Benny Hill Theme would be a better choice for 3rd down music. :banghead: Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:11:00 EST Burrel and Thompson have essentially swapped positions here in the 2nd half and Lawrence still playing Star our defensive coaching suxWe just aren’t putting the players in position to play well Despite cornbread’s continued assertions of being in the correct call Our defense is NOT SEC caliber Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: murfvol on December 19, 2020, 08:12:15 EST Hmmm, not putting players in the position to excel sounds familiar.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 08:12:19 EST Thus far today, is aTm a better or worse team than you thought. It seems as our D has nothing for them in the pass game but we have been decent against the run.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:12:23 EST OMG JUST fizzleING STOP WITH WELCOME TO THE fizzleING JUNGLE. LOL I was just saying thatWhen you give up 3rd down after 3rd down after 3rd down, it just becomes...sad. Maybe the Benny Hill Theme would be a better choice for 3rd down music. :banghead: If we actually stopped them more than the occasional screw up by the other team it might be different Title: Re: Game Thread.........

Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:15:27 EST That was a JG quality pass
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:16:27 EST That was a JG quality pass interesting in that the receiver Taylor was supposed to cover was open behind himTitle: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 08:17:05 EST like I said. Our D has nothing for their passing game...lol. You are right Pirate. That is right out of JG's playbook. Now we need to do something with it.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:25:36 EST One (1) more quarter to go
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: murfvol on December 19, 2020, 08:26:00 EST Regardless of how we got here, I'll take an 11 point margin going into the 4th quarter.
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: droner on December 19, 2020, 08:26:34 EST Well, A&M didn't score in the third quarter. That was weird. :crazy:
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:28:09 EST Well, A&M didn't score in the third quarter. That was weird. :crazy: that’s because their QB thought he was wearing #2Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:40:45 EST The 2nd half defense has shown up
Jumbo torn Cornbread is shouting “execution” I’d live to see it Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: PirateVOL on December 19, 2020, 08:43:06 EST 15 in at QB
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: HerbTarlekVol on December 19, 2020, 08:56:31 EST I see Bielema is going to coach at Illinois. That's a good fit for him. Which means Army has dodged that bullet. Jeff Monken was a short list candidate there. #GoArmyBeatAirForce Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: volsboy on December 19, 2020, 09:21:09 EST If aTm is the second best team in the SEC, then there is a wide gap between them and Bama. And Bama just has another #1 class. When will their run be over? :crazy: We are a ways away from beating the mediocre teams in the SEC. Hope next year is more back to normal practice and playing wise. Covid isn't here to stay is it?
Title: Re: Game Thread......... Post by: BanditVol on December 19, 2020, 10:46:03 EST I mostly like what I see of Bailey, but he has a couple of JG-like tendencies, first and foremost he holds the ball too dam long. Second, he doesn't seem able to sense the rush. In that second category he is nowhere near as bad as JG and not as bad in the first, but it's still kind of eerie watching him emulate JG to some extent.
I am sure it's just rookie stuff and he will shake it off, but he does need to be more sensitive to the rush and learn how to get rid of the ball. |
