Here is a perfect example of your slant. Dormady had 4 dropped passes in the first half last game, one which hit Byrd in the chest. Your response to a post last week about that was "if he hit him in stride it was a td". That may be correct, but it doesn't change the fact that it was a ball that should have been caught.

I counted it as a drop. Jennings had two drops. Your boy was throwing into 3-4 defenders by not coming off the primary read. He had what should've been a pick last week. Any SEC defense will pick him off.

The preseason is over. Big boy ball starts this week.

C'mon, get serious. JG is not near ready. QD is much further along. Go back to Dobbs first couple of years of starting in your minds and stop acting like QD is trash. He clearly gives the team their best chance to win. He just has to keep working to get better. JG needs to prepare for next man up.

It's not about the O. It's about the D. We appear to be in trouble if genius Shoop doesn't start taking some football smart pills. His schemes stink and his use of inadequate players is worse. Play the talent, not the experienced guys that can't get it done. The opposing OC's know what you have with the inadequate experienced guys and will exploit them. There's video on every play in every game they've played. They know when you are scheming around trouble spots.

All of this!

I do think we could win ballgames if we had to play JG. Love his potential but QD still gets the nod right now. I want JG to keep getting meaningful snaps though.

Love the disparity of opinions on what people see. Look JG has a ridiculously live arm and is a smooth athlete (doesn't appear to be near the runner BB wants to make him out to be though). But unfortunately real football is not played on an Xbox so those two attributes alone don't make a QB successful. JG looks uncomfortable and unsure right now. He certainly doesn't have command of the offense yet. You can definitely see why the coaches feel like Dormandy gives UT the best chance to win games right now. If JG develops the rest of his game in the future he has elite arm talent. Just has a lot of other tools that need to be developed.

I could see Dormady starting all year, but not starting his senior year because JG starts seeing everything.

JG ran one time on a scramble. Got a first down and got down.

People see the score 42-7 and don't understand how anyone could dissect the win. It was the Indiana State Sycamores, they're a joke. We weren't close to being dominant up front on either side of the ball and Dormady looked like doo doo. The defense as a whole has looked like garbage the first two weeks. This team just doesn't look good.

Bingo. Going into the GT game people were projecting 30 point wins and when we got our alive by the skin of our teeth all of a sudden their defense is "better than Florida's" and "they'll give Clemson and Florida State a run for their money".

This team isn't right. Good news is neither is Florida.

I just want to see this offense look like a well oiled machine. But with each year that passes, it doesn't look like that is going to happen under Jones.

I know we scored a bunch of points last year and blah blah, but we looked HORRIBLE a lot of those times.

When you watch the Top 15 ish teams,most of those teams look good on most Saturdays. With TN, I get tired of seeing DBs toasted and playing WAY TOO FAR OFF THE LINE, LBs out of position, Dline (today) Playing almost two yards off the line, and this allows the Oline to get a burst, and it doesn't matter the size of said Olineman. And then to make matters worse our own OLINE looks horrible at times.

Just wish they would look good on most Saturdays instead of looking like a complete mess.

I'm glad we got the win, but rushing teams may punish us really bad this year, and kinda like the last few years.

Completely agree, but you are writing him off prematurely. Your assumption is he has hit his potential and will not learn or improve. Either way, we will find out next week.

Btw, you been harping on QB play so much I haven't seen a critique on the DB's. What is going on there? I'm way down on the DB's.

Probably petty of me but it bothers me that they were so pretentious when they switched time spots that they had to keep their name from the LUNCH show. Having a show name "three hour lunch" when your time slot is 3-6 is ridiculous to me. Make it 3HD or something. I'm biased though because that show is too much fluff and talking about their personal lives and I don't want to hear any of that.

The afternoon show became trash when Clay left. I'm hoping Dawn Davenport can bring it back to listenable.

I like Dawn. Ironic that she seems to actually want to talk sports but the other guys always wind up dragging her into "the view".

I can't stand Clay.

Agree. Brent and Mickey seem to want to talk anything but sports. Fortunately for them, Jared Stillman is on opposite them.

I'm just for being a realist. I thought Tennessee would go 8-4 going into this year, even though this team doesn't have 8-4 talent. More like 10 win talent if you ask me. But now I'm thinking this team will struggle to get to 8. Hope like heck that I'm wrong.
