I agree. His inaccuracy was very apparent last night. He missed some wide open receivers very badly, it was driving me nuts! Then he gets lucky and hits Malone on a 75-yarder. It's always an adventure when Dobbs throws it down the field

What was lucky about that strike he threw to Malone?

I agree unless the "noise" he has mentioned has really bothered him and his family and the difficulty of winning in the SEC is seen as a challenge that won't allow him a long career has really put a bad taste in his mouth for knoxville

I think he'll finish what he started here. The "noise" got pretty rough-- especially that whole punched a player nonsense-- but everything has quietened down now.

If we win the SECE next year, CBJ could see that as an opportunity to leave on a high note... if he wants out of the SEC. But he seems to genuinely like Knoxville-- and UT is a great place to be when you're winning-- so I'm guessing he'd rather see how far he can take the program. Assuming he can continue recruiting at an elite level, the upside is huge. JMO.

They need to take some of the seemingly infinite money this sport makes and make being an official a full time gig - complete with off season training and measurable expectations.

Disagree. He started producing pressure when he shelved that spin move. Speed and bull rush is his best play.

He bull rushed a lot versus Oklahoma and Florida. Tackles were tackling him. Saw the spin move some but they tackled him on that too. Ridiculous the amount of holding he puts up with. I've never seen a lineman held more.

Martin opposite Sutton along with midseason rest has done wonders for him, I think. Their tight coverage has allowed a fraction more time for the somewhat less athletic members of our line (Vereen) to be disruptive from the opposite side, freeing him up a little bit from the double teams, holds, tackles, etc.

I love Martin and think he may be better than Sutton once all is said and down. He's a beast.

Martin starting versus Oklahoma and Florida would've won those two games. IMO

There would've been a pick 6 in one of those games. Or a QB in a body bag.

Lucky huh? Or did a WR decide to make a play? There have been other passes just like that where the WR just didn't make the play. Luck looks like Worley to North versus SCAR.

Seems to me that if he's got an open passing lane, he can throw on a rope like a laser. The problem seems to be when he's got to put some air under it, a la fade route. Hope they work with him on finding the hot route on blitzes this off season too.

His WRs need to understand what is going on as well. He turns the ball loose early when the blitz is coming. The WRs run their routes like nothing is going on.

Yep. That's another reason why I'm reluctant to be too harsh on him. When there's an errant pass, I don't have the expertise to tell if it was on him or the receiver.
