Defense Getting Frustrated With Offense's Struggles

[Spartacavolus]

Just go 4 or 5 wide in various sets and pick the best mismatch. Snap and throw. 2 step drop from the gun. Eff it. We can't run and we can't drop back and survey the field. Lineup, know where you are going and make the throw and catch. Like we did the first play vs ole miss and never did again.

And have some gonads and go for it on fourth down if we're inside their 50. Field goals have gotten us nowhere.

Imagine how much better statistically our D could be if they actually had a chance to rest during a game.

I think Butch will have more guts on those when his offense shows it can do anything positive in that situation.

Sort of a telling quote by O'Brien

Asked #Vols D-tackle Danny O'Brien what more can Tennessee's defense do. His reply: "We need to score touchdowns."

Our offensive play callers need to better understand how to read our opponents defensive schemes and use our talent accordingly. Case in point: P. Manning. He's always has a good O Line and receivers around him but, he makes them all better by reading the defense and utilizing his team members talents.

This is more about the coaching staff than the players - make no mistake about it. Our kids are playing hard and absolutely have enough talent to win.
