Whew... that throw by Ben

Classic Ben.

Time to Salt this game away

• Offensive play calling called into question. Seems to be a consensus here that it wasn’t a good game plan. Too many run calls; no adjustments.
• Lots of discussion on whether the coaches had the team ill-prepared, or if the mistakes/turnovers are on the players. Much bickering here.
• Need roster turnover.
• Negas out in full force.
• Sapp may or may not have actually refused to go in. Potentially some disagreement with a coach/GA and Sapp.
• McClesky’s boy looking to transfer. We make sense as a landing destination.

Under pressure, across his body to the middle of the field, right in stride

Lol right... Just like they drew it up

 

[85SugarVol]

He was awful in the 1 St half. 3 picks including a pick 6

Haha, I thought something had happened with Coach Fitz...

How was that cringey?

It was stated earlier James Connor wanted to be known as a football player, not as a guy who went through chemo. Tessitore apparently completely ignored that and said it the first time Connor made a nice run. Booger then reminded him that Connor doesn't want that.

Flew a drone around / in Neyland before leaving down Sunday morning. The fog was just starting to lift. Thought y’all might enjoy these.

These are beautiful!

So what you’re saying is: there’s been a fog over Knoxville but will soon lift?

So I was reading some really stupid comments and about to get mad until I realized I was in the FF. As dumb and bullheaded as we can get in here, the RF rocks.

I really think we'll be okay. Again, full disclosure, I'm still waiting on a full game upload. I was only able to watch this highlight video:

It's hard to take positives out of a blowout loss like that and not appear to be a homer.

We're still screwing up and HARD sometimes. But I dunno, maybe it's some sort of bias on my part, but it seemed like 95% of our snaps last year were utterly lackluster half-hearted wgaf football, with the other 5% being the rare occasions we did something good. This year, it seems like (everyone come up with your own arbitrary percentage) 75% of our snaps are us doing something good and the remainder are colossal screw-ups on one or two guys.

JMO

I am normally a little more optimistic by nature, but like many of us here, I have been burned too many times by buying into the new guy too soon. I am trying to be a little more wait and see, but it's tough, because I want CJP to succeed in the worst way. It will probably just take one or two solid performances this year (that I think we will have) to get me fully on board. It's like playing golf, in some ways. I have never been at all good at it, and have not really played enough to get better. It is very difficult when you start out and I was getting close to totally giving up. Then, I lucked into a decent tee shot on a par 3 and made my first par. It just took that one shot to give me hope that I could learn to play the game.

 

[drvenner]

He’s in a special kind of zone. Not a fan, but just watching him work is a thing of beauty right now

Of course it is. My opponent has him in our matchup this week. I am done anyway, but he is twisting the dagger in me now.

Vols' Rumph after Florida loss: 'It's an ugly baby right now'

 

[rekinhavoc]

Wholeheartedly disagree. I will take the downgrade in arm strength for maturity and leadership at this point. Let Chryst stand tall and take his lumps this year and get Shrout ready to roll next year. JG doesn't have it between the ears and that will not change.

Agree with bolded.

 

[SoMissVol]

If McCleskey is also a returner - bring him on if he can grad transfer or does not have to sit out. If not, it's a questionable use of a scholarship. The team is awful in the return game.

Bring him JUST FOR THIS.

Which drone do you have?

Thread titles are huge red flag!

Assuming we keep Ramel, and Jalen McClesky, Trey Knox and Javonta Payton all want to be a Vol in ‘19....

Which one are you taking?

DJI Mavic Pro

 

[InVOLuntary]

DJI Mavic Pro

I have the same one. It's awesome what DJI does in such a small package. How far have you flown away from you?

Basilio's Blog this morning is hinting at a rumor that Pruitt pulled the play calling duties from Helton in the 3rd quarter and handed them over to Friend ? Any insiders got anything to add on this ?

I absolutely don't believe that. If that's the case this coaching staff is doomed to failure.
