Orange glasses or not.  We will be underdogs in every SEC game except Vandy and Kentucky.

I think he looks more like Clint Howard in Waterboy.
103  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Opinion question about Coach Dooley on: September 23, 2011, 01:23:21 EDT
Hot seat for 7 wins?  Not a chance.  Heck!  He might even deserve a rise for 7.  Before the season I reasoned 6 wins.  I'm hopeful we will steal at least one and make 7.  We lost our best DB before the season started.  We lost our #1 WR last week.  Our OL did not make the progress that I had hoped for over the off season.  Our kicking game has not improved over last year (on the offensive side of the ball).

On the up side.  Bray is much better than I thought he would be.  Our DL is doing better than what I thought they would.  Our kick coverage (defensive side of the kicking game) is vastly improved...even close to the terrific level.  The tight end position is strong. Our linebackers are growing up fast a have great potential.

Overall I would say that if our OL knew how to run block, the we could win 8 games this year.  Without it, we will be lucky to win 7.  What is puzzling is that I thought we had a real top notch line coach.  Up to this point, I just don't see that result.

Maggit is the real deal.  He showed flashes of what he can be Saturday.  Right now he seems to be half a step away from where the action is on almost every play.  When he learns to react and not think about what he's suppose to do he will be terrific.  We still need help up front though.
105  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Based on what we have seen so far, I think we beat SC and UGA on: September 20, 2011, 12:35:23 EDT
I say 6 wins are realistic.  I am optimistic and say 7.  I'm not setting myself up to think we will win 8.  I think we beat Vandy and Ky.  I think we will be huge underdogs to LSU, bama and Ark.  I think we will be solid underdogs to SCe (they have the best pass rush in the conference and Lattimore) and I think we will have to play much better than we have so far to beat Georgia.  Georgia may very well be the most rapidly improving team in the country right now.  By the time we play them they won't resemble the team that got ran over by Bosie.  They have better line talent and more depth than we do.  If we can win that game I'll be thrilled.

After Hunter went down, Florida was attacking the gaps and not worrying about holding them. I thought coming into this game we would have a series of screens to run against their anticipated attacking defense. I don't think we have thrown one all year. With a screen, you slow the defense down and with it slowed down you have a good chance to run against them since the are "on their heels". A great example is what Florida did to us in the first series. Any aggression we thought we had was diluted after their first two plays which were screens.

This is what I have said many times.  Also, I hope it's not lost on everyone that when we played ND in 95 (I think) and Wiess was the head coach, he opened their first series with several screens in a row just to slow down the pass rush.  It worked then.  It worked on Saturday.  You would think some film work would of given our D a heads up. Also the back out of the backfield would of been a great play to use.  Poole is suppose to have good hands and it would of given him the ball away from the LOS which was blocked up all day.

I really can go for a plate of hot wings and a cold beer and a good football game.  Napkins!  Lots of napkins.  A good rack of ribs is really nice as well.
108  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: The difference between us and them on: September 18, 2011, 06:31:45 EDT
I was shocked that we had so little diversity in our passing game.  How many times did Bray hit a RB out of the backfield?  How many quick screens?  How many misdirections?  I thought our offense was more mature.  That we had the whole package.  I think we will see Bama, Ark., Dawgs, SCe, LSU all load the box and come after Bray.  We showed absolutely no reason why they should slow down the pass rush.  Did you see what the gators did???  A little check down pass to the RB goes to the house when we are really putting pressure on the QB.  We did NOTHING like that all day.  Not once did we make them pay.  Why did it take so long to get over the Hunter loss?  Because he was 60% of our offense and when he went out we had no one ready to come in and take his place.  If I were coach, I would seriously consider sitting about 20 starters for the whole game and work on nothing but depth.

Hands down and no contest is the first, cold beer on a hot day after a long week where you haven't had one in a while.  I don't even think the brand makes that big a difference (unless you're talking about light beers  ) After that, the quality really come in to play.  It is the quality of the beer that will make you say 'I'll have another'.
110  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Two times Bray has been tackled well after the play was blown dead on: September 18, 2011, 05:58:42 EDT
Not hearing the whistle is absolutely no excuse.  Heck, I could train our DL's to never hear a whistle and kill the QB even when he's going back to the huddle.  Those were no call PF's given to the gators.
111  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Well, what this game shows is that we on: September 18, 2011, 06:37:40 EDT
No orange colored glasses here.  We CAN'T run the ball.  Unless something huge changes we won't run the ball on Georgia.  I picked 6 to 7 wins before the season and I think that is very reasonable.  SCe has the best pass rushing D in the league to go along with Lattimore.  We will be underdogs in both those games.  I'm counting 7 if we manage to steal one along the way.
112  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: What really makes today is depressing on: September 18, 2011, 06:34:03 EDT
It's our deepest position.  We are just very, very young there.  I think we'll be fine.  I more worried about no running game and what a poor kicking game we have.
113  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Well, what this game shows is that we on: September 18, 2011, 01:50:56 EDT
need a better kicking game.  We need a running back that has enough speed to scare the D. And we need more experience for the young guys.  I also wonder about some screen passes.  We could of eaten them up if we had tried a few.  Seven wins will be hard to make this year.
114  Sports / VTTW Message Board / If we can make a scoring drive to start the half. on: September 17, 2011, 11:38:46 EDT
I think we will win.
115  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Defense has save us so far. on: September 17, 2011, 11:34:54 EDT
First drive by Montana, first drive by cincy, first drive by florida.  Are we seeing a pattern?
116  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Defense has save us so far. on: September 17, 2011, 11:33:33 EDT
We need to show something new.  Something they haven't seen.  I like Bray's composure.  I was worried about that and he has stood the test.  If we can just make something bad happen for florida.  I would like to see how brantly handles a little pressure.
117  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: I think these refs like the PI call on: September 17, 2011, 11:30:21 EDT
The one on Johnson was called by the crowd.  It was clearly a good play.  He came in with the left arm and knocked the ball away.
118  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Defense has save us so far. on: September 17, 2011, 11:28:53 EDT
They have adjusted well to the gators.  Kept us in the game. Let the offense settle down and get moving.  They need to be ready because the gators will change it up at half and try to get us off balance again.  The OL is doing a good job giving Bray time.  Look for a lot of blitz from the gators.  We get the ball.  If we score then the game is up for grabs.
119  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: We can't run and with Hunter done on: September 17, 2011, 10:53:50 EDT
Use the danged tight end.  Run some screens.  There are a lot of things we arn't doing.
120  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: Lol.. UF WR goes out of bounds on the 10 before catching.. on: September 17, 2011, 10:48:28 EDT
I'm surprised he did.  They are ignoring everything else so far.
121  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Kicking game score on: September 17, 2011, 10:47:37 EDT
Florida. +9
Tennessee. -6
122  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Major league holding and not called. on: September 17, 2011, 10:46:04 EDT
Why am I not surprised.
123  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Nice stop. on: September 17, 2011, 10:35:08 EDT
Time to regroup.  One score and this is a game again.
124  Sports / VTTW Message Board / Re: We need to get rid of our kickers and on: September 17, 2011, 10:34:10 EDT
So far they have been a waste of scholarships.
