We aren't doomed. Pruitt is still the guy in my opinion. Even with marginally good QB play, we could win 4 or 5 games.

I think Bailey is the guy, but I don't think he knows the offense well enough or how to audible to another call based on the front of the defense. Something your QB NEEDS to do in order for the offense to be successful. That leaves you one or two routes to go. Start Shrout and hope that he's more competent than JG or Start Bailey and take your chances on him, and hope he learns as he goes.

Seems like every team in America stands their QB up at the line and has them look to the sideline for the audible.

No reason we can’t do that with Bailey.

To be honest, I’m still pretty high on this team. We aren’t as bad as we looked yesterday. That was a team that was truly deflated. If we can get good/consistent QB play then we’ll be fine

Yup. I would feel WAY worse about us if we had been even in TOs but UK outgained us by 200 yards and beat us by the same score. That would say they straight up whipped us play for play. But that isn't the case...we were basically tied in yards but -3 TOs...2 pick sixes.

We gift wrapped them that game. That was on jg, jt, chandler, whoever the hell was at LT...

Ya know, i want Bailey to be the guy as much as any of you do. but honestly what good is a QB that doesnt have a good qb coach? wouldnt be any different than JG in my opinion. Until we get a legitimate QB coach or Chaney starts working with them directly we will keep getting mediocre outcomes from that position no matter whos there unfortunately.

We are decent to good across the interior of the OL, especially on run blocking. Most of this pressure isn't coming up the middle. The 5 start OT's are both hitting a sophomore slump, and we don't have any RB's or TE's who give us anything in pass blocking.

This baffles me. Why not keep an H-back next to QB to give more pass protection?

In no world are we only 17 points worse than Bama. We will be 21 down after Bama’s first three possessions, and if JG plays probably more because we all know he is good for at least one pick-6.

This one will be a slaughter.

Remember much of the same (or more) being said last season.

That’s so dumb. Do you think Trevor Lawrence needed a web coach to win the natty against Bama his freshman year? Some people just have it

QB - Bailey (Short Leash) then Maurer
RB - Gray, Small is working hard so him at 2, can’t be any worse than TC right now
WR - Palmer, Hyatt, Johnson,with Keyton and Wideman
Leave TE, OL, DL, ILB alone for now
OLB -DJ is playing well, I’d start Mojo at the other spot with him and Bennet playing 50/50 till one emerges. Baron is too damn slow.
CB is fine
Play flowers at Star instead of Shamburger and start Key in Flowers spot

The defense is coming along pretty well imo. It is still a couple of talent infusions and a real off-season or two of development away from greatness...but if you can't see the vast improvement already over the total incompetence we have had on that side if the ball the last decade or so...then people are blind.

The offense is still a offseason of real development in our young OLmen and WRs, and a real QB away from showing real improvement. Yesterday was an abberation mainly caused be the total absolute ineptitude of one freaking player.

Just one freakin decent player, at one freaking position and we could have won that game over a solid opponent.

All the good teams start freshmen and they end up doing well, it’s time for us to start doing the same. Bo Nix, is a prime example. Auburn is trash for SEC West standards but they threw him in the fire. Bailey should have started game 1.

Spot on. I live and breath this stuff. Even this week I'll listen to every podcast and read every tweet, and spend countless time on these forums. I wish I was more of a generic casual fan. You know - the kind you see out in town wearing your teams shirt and you ask if they saw the game, and they respond with "Naw, when did they play." Such peace it must be to be that guy.

I've told you guys all along. The only way to watch Tennessee is to record the game and, if they win, watch the recording. If they lose, delete the recording. It's the only way to go. Saves me tons of heartache and frustration. Been doing this for years and it works.

So it’s coaching...
Click to expand...
Weinke has no business being a QB coach. I’ve said it before: there’s a reason why we had him here as an analyst and then a RB coach or whatever. He had coached QB’s before, if he were good at it, he would’ve gotten another job as a QB coach. He wouldnt have been coaching RB’s. He also can’t recruit
