Title: Can we give Jumper a break now?
Post by: Creek Walker on September 25, 2016, 05:16:07 EDT
I realize he is never going to get a fair shake from the UT fanbase...you don't get vilified like he was against Oklahoma last year and recover from that. But some of the stuff that is said every week is kinda silly. Folks were riding him on Twitter in the first half. He made some mistakes but he wasn't the one putting the QB in shotgun on 1st and goal at the two or dropping passes. He made some very nice plays in the second half, however. The 3rd-and-1 stop in the 3rd quarter was yuuuuge. That was the turning point of the game. Excellent play by Jumper.

not to mention his pass breakup in the end zone, really a nice play

Good for him....He played well the 2nd half. Afraid we won't get much out of JRM for a while. Bad shoulder and tackling don't go well together.

was he supposed to have been the defender on the over the middle TD in the 2nd quarter?
Seemed so live in the stadium, but he came back and played very well in the 2nd half
