Vols by the numbers compared to 129 FBS teams

What are they compared to last year? Also, is there a week by week comparison to see if we're moving up/down?

Noone denies a bit of a talent gap, but to say the coaches are getting all they can out of these players is just a failure to be objective and not wanting to criticize the coaching staff at all. I get it, because somehow crticizing the coach somehow means you want them fired after an incomplete pass and for some coach worship is the only hope for the future.

You are correct, but continual coach bashing is not an iota more productive either.

You think they aren’t? Lol.... these coaches have had success pretty much everywhere they have been, they didn’t just wake up and start sucking. Players have to make plays. A telling phrase came from either Rocker or Rumph about the psyche of the team, that the mentality some of them have are like abused dogs. I think this is actually the biggest problem right now, more so than schemes. But that’s just my two cents, you keep rolling with the one line zingers, seems to be working well.

It's a message board, nothing here is productive

Although, this board has glass half full posters and glass half empty posters, but some always seem to be “bah- the water is probably dirty anyway” posters. :confused:

I dont care what the mentality of the team is, I didnt say the reason just that the coaches are not getting the most out of the player...and theu arent. There success at other places doesnt automatically translate to success here and since im not a uga, bama or fsu fan I dont really care about the success they had at other places. All I care about is how it translates to Tennessee. The reason I know they are not getting the most out of the players is because he know we have a weak oline yet we continually fail to gameplan for it. All this no talent is a garbage excuse, we have playmakers on o, yet we continually fail to target them with a scheme that gets the ball away from the los. When we do it, it works...but doesn't take long before we are running it right ip the centers rear end every 1-2down and passing on 3rd.

Having trouble qouting? Do you purposely say things that are wrong just to know what it feels like or do you believe what you say is correct until someone proves it wrong?

So heres an idea, instead of trying to insult and throwing out little snarky post prove something ive said wrong?

I'm sick of the "cupcakes padding" argument. Name one other team who has played against the #2 and #9 ranked teams in the country in HALF their games this season. I bet we'd look a whole lot better if we had played NO top 25 teams this season, as many who are high on the list have done.

It's not just apples to oranges. Gala's aren't Red Delicious, and neither are as good as Honeycrisps. Lists like this are not nearly as indicative as they appear.

I somewhat agree with what you are saying, winning breeds winning. We just have to get that first SEC victory, that is the Standard we have not bared for such a long time.

Wonder if talent alone is the sole reason for these numbers?

I would say no. The obvious is turnovers and penalties that MUST be cleaned up. New system and new coaches don't help but our play against UGA showed the needle moving, slightly, the right way. If this continues I believe we will be competitive in the back half of our games and see where our talent level truly is.

Alabama is the antithesis of stat padding. They quite literally, play every team they play at the same level. The determining factor in the final stats/score is at what point in the game they start putting in the 2nd-4th string players.

We aren't the only team that benefit from cupcake stat padding when it comes to these sorts of ratings, it's just more apparent because of the gulf between our performances against the cupcakes vs those against P5 opponents.

Bama has played a bad Louisville team, a bad Ole Miss team, an average Texas A&M team, the Ragin Cajuns and Arkansas State. 12-12 record combined. Let's wait before we make the claim that they are unbeatable

No offense guys but there's only so many times you can say forget the part about Alabama -it's not about Alabama -insert any team you want.
And when every reply starts with something about Alabama, you realize..

Insert Iowa or Kansas or I don't care. Everybody has played some decent teams and some nobody's.

The only stat that matters is number of punts... we ought to be #1 I'd say.

Your point? Would like to hear it. Your post could go three of different ways. The coaches are not reaching them, are not competent to reach them or the players are not willing.

I just got home a couple hours ago after a long day. Sorry, got lazy in my reading, and was being serious in what I posted. I will take your advice and reread what you posted.
