    Pass defense. Talent, coaching or both?

    The secondary is not overall good . The larger problem is tge pass rush . An ideal pass rush should arrive in 2.5 seconds. Anything more than that opens up the route tree and makes it impossible for the best secondary to cover. When we rush 4 , our pass rush is beyond 5 seconds and sometimes way...

    One Glaring stat from last night…

    Vandy's corners played 10 + yards off the ball and they played two deep safeties. When the ball was snapped they safeties were back peddling to keep a lid on the secondary. Vandy sold out on the pass . Couple with their LBs being awful, we got so crazy rushing yards. SC has two corners that are...

    Milton starting QB..

    I don't think it is reasonable to judge Milton based on the Vandy game . It was raining and Vandy sold out on the deep ball playing two deep safeties most of the game. Running the ball was the right call. Joe was 63% this season. We are comparing him to a 75% passer, not in a dink and dunk west...

    TN defense caught off guard

    Our front is not getting any pressure without a blitz. Offenses are now keeping enough blockers in to pick up the blitz. A good QB needs 2.5 seconds to be effective. Tonight, USEe has double that . The secondary may not be good , but any secondary cannot stay in coverage for 4 , 5. and 6 seconds.

    Secondary

    I think the larger problem is the defensive line. No pressure from the down 4 . Give any QB in the SEC 10 seconds and they are going to complete passes on just about any secondary. This is not to say that our secondary is great, but our front is leaving them handing too long

    Why do you think Vegas has Ole Miss Favored?

    Earlier in the week it was a 4 point spread....and that's about how tge game worked out. Vegas has tons of scoring models and experts that analyze every details and run computer sims and figure it down to the decimal. The real question is...do you know something vegas does not ?

    Milton named starter

    So Jason White was at Oklahoma from 1999-2004. Hype became a grad assistant briefly in 2004 , he then went Arizona as a TE coach and came back to OK in 2006 . Sam Bradford's big year was about knocking down tomato cans , until he played the Gators where he could only muster 14 points. It is alot...

    Milton named starter

    I did forget about Andy . A workman QB that Cut did an excellent job with. I have not ruled Milton out in my mind ...there is still time for him. He has just not showed me that hei is " that guy " yet/

    Milton named starter

    Except you reversed the logic . Cut coached Heath Shuler, Peyton Manning, Tee Martin, Eli Manning, Erik Ainge ( all very good to excellent college QBs ) before he went to Duke . CJH is making his head coaching debut in the big league ( SEC ) and doesn't have that resume yet . Not saying he won't...

    Hate to be the bubble burster

    No touchdowns scored against the defense. I did not study the defense in depth , but noticed a couple of things. They were multiple but played safe in most instances. This is a hallmark of playing vanilla and holding back for future opponents. Put multiple looks on film for your opponents to...

    Something really important to consider that may ease your minds a bit

    BG did play coverage all night and we ran the ball at will. This was good to see because , coach took what the defense gave him . This is not something we have seen in awhile. Speaking of running at will , when was the last time we have seen that ? I know we were only playing BG , but I can...

    This is what we have been SUPPOSED to do for years.

    Not completely , but much more impressed than I was against GSU 30-38 and Charlotte 14-3. This may be our most complete game since Chattanooga . We are not a complete team by any stretch but I did not expect us to be. We were a much improved team , which I had hoped we would be.

    The Official Tennessee vs. Bowling Green Game Thread, 8:00 PM ET, SEC Network

    Do you realize how bad we have looked against mid majors in the recent past ? I will take dishing out a mistake ridden whooping over a close win or being whooped.

    Harrison Bailey--is he right for Heupel's system

    Milton gives us access to the D gaps and brings zone read and RPO to our game. With so much youth and a rehabilitating and rebuilding O line , this is a must have. Behind a solid group those aspects of the game may not be needed and Bailey could be a next level passer .

    Why are we trying to be the opposite of Alabama?

    Tennessee wore black an gray up until nearly 1930 at which point they went to orange, The gray was a part of the uniform up until the 70's . The numbers were trimmed in Smokey gray and the face masks were gray . Majors took a whopping and decided to do away with the gray. The gray is an official...
