Lmao.

Then Lewis (the Bowling Green receiver from the Giants) does a 15 second dance that is infinitely more unnecessary and nothing gets called. It's a joke.

I do agree with your main point, the NFL is stupid and the stuff that isn't allowed is ridiculously stupid.

That being said, everyone was told all preseason that anything using the ball as a "prop" was an automatic flag. If I know that, Vernon Davis sure as chit knows that and then he goes and does it anyway. Makes a game that Washington is dominating only a one score game at the half bc they end up taking the penalized kickoff back for a TD.

I mean, I get that, but realitivey speaking it's really not any different than spiking it.

Brice is saying that everyone besides JRM, Sapp, and KMAC will be back October 29th. Cam could be pushed back a week

I'm not happy with a game plan of run, run , short pass on 3rd long. I didn't expect to win yesterday, but I did expect a closer game.

We played our second string oline was better gameplay was there?

Let Dobbs roll out on first down, instead of letting Hurd run up the middle for a yard or two.

The most aggravating thing was the short passes on 3rd and long.

Ah yes because that would have worked with eight guys in the box. I guess 49-20 would have looked better

We couldn't give Dobbs to two seconds how the hell are we gonna 15 yards?

Why do people continue to question DeBord when he just pulled the best three game stretch for the Vols in offense since Cutcliffe was here?

What an ass. Some of us don't see rainbows and like to have discussions, even if it's slightly negative.

Opinions can be diffferent in here.

I thought about this too, trying to intentionally move the pocket early instead of Dobbs running for his life later. Can't go to this too
Often but may have helped.

Would of had to scramble him left (against his body) because Tim Williams was taking over the entire right side. Dude is legit.

I like to have discussions with reasonable opinions. Like I said I've yet to hear a game plan that would have kept this game in the fourth quarter. We ran a second string OL yesterday. There's literally nothing you can do at that point. DeBord put up 1,600 yards of offense on three SEC bowl teams. The dude didn't forget how to gameplan overnight. Everyone thinks being an OC is easy.

Also did I delete any of his posts? Did I threaten to infraction him? He gave his opinion. I gave mine.

There's been nothing unreasonable mentioned as far as I've read from either of you. Who are you to decide that?

Like I said to Verc, I'll concede there isn't/wasn't a better option on Saturday. I jumped the gun and I was "wrong". The issue has been when we've had some bad play calling for a couple of seasons and they are still showing up. It took Butch getting boo'd entirely too often before he went for it on 4th against UGA (Alex Ellis catch over the middle I think) and we saw a little more aggression.

My issue and sounds like with 30 also, is sometimes our offense stays too vanilla for too long and it isn't a last Saturday only problem. When Hurd was a mutant early in the year, we looked great. When we started going over the top to Malone every week and getting the wideouts involved, we looked great.

When Hurd looks human or we don't have time to get the wideouts down the field we have to have an answer. I just don't trust Butch and his OC to have the answers. I could be dead wrong. Could simply be lack of health. I think it's an offense that isn't diverse enough to utilize talent we have everywhere on offense.

That's the thing with a HUNH. Sometimes you sacrifice complexity for for tempo. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It looks worse when it doesn't work.

Just curious did you watch Ohio State/Wisky? For about 3 quarters the only offense OSU had was Barrett running. Ole Miss put up 300 yards in the first half last night then couldn't get across the 50. Every offense has lulls. Clemson did it too. Sometimes it just doesn't work.

Take out the App State game and this offense has been dynamite. It goes through lulls yes and without a dominant oline (which Bama has) it can be ugly. Trust me I've *****ed plenty about the offense in the past but I've seen clear differences this year from the offense and it's working. Saturday nothing would have worked with the oline.

They question because they do nothing in the first half.
