Apparently hasn’t had the same turnover issues that Shrout and Maurer have had period. So don’t know what you are trying to get at.

I think it's that therebis not enough context to tell why he was pulled...JG checks downs and doesn't lead receivers...and didn't turn it over alot till recently.....

Well, only that anecdotes from reporters coupled with a lack of understanding about where any of the 3 are in their development.... doesn't provide a good basis for pushing HB as the starter.

If he truly isn't having those issues "period" then he could be the greatest QB of all time... or it could be that they're more focused on expanding his knowledge of the O and reads. If he has mastered the playbook and is making all the reads and throws without having INT's then UT will win out scoring 40+ ppg.

But the reality is guys who are taking the risks required to give you big plays... also throw picks. If he's a level above that then he's superhuman.

Hawk tackling is rugby style shoulder tackling. The idea is to take the head out tackling. Players are taught to track the ball carrier's near side and strike with their outside shoulder.

But, if they're a split second so getting there, it bwcilomes an easy breakable arm tackle. One reason its because it's an high arm tackle.

Well any tackle is going to become an arm tackle if the ball carrier is mistimed. Most of the time the ball carrier's near hip is the target, "eyes to the thighs." On contact the player is supposed to wrap up and drive back.

Rank tells you all of that? Wish I had your skills.

Why start this today? I didn't say anything about Maurer or the two ints he threw before getting yanked.

More of that NFL top 5 accuracy and 4.5 speed at work. 🤣 🤣 🤣



But rank is a good part.

Rank tell you about potential and skills.

Bailey has both and has size. He is a great option for the future. If he never came Brian would have had the two or three years he needs to sit before trying to take over for JG when he leaves. Now Bailey is the next man up.

But is it a feedback loop? Does JG look good in practice and not turn it over because our defense has become inept?

I think both factors play off of each other given what we know about each of them, so yes, kind of a feedback loop.

The secondary this year is just downright bad, even when in good position to make a play on the ball; we can see that in the games. However Pruitt has consistently said that JG is great in practice, not just this year. And our secondary was better last year than this year, so perhaps to a certain degree JG actually really is a good practice player.

Most of JG's faults seem to lie in the area of lack of confidence and decision-making ability, things that might not necessarily show up in practice. During his recruitment, there was some talk about how his game film wasn't as impressive as his performance in camps. If he was a great camp guy, then it would follow that he also looks good in practice.

It wasn't lack of confidence when he decided to go rogue and try a QB sneak against Alabama last season; quite the opposite.

I'd argue that his main issues seem to be that he A) doesn't seem to process the speed of the game well, and B) because he doesn't seem to process the speed of the game, his decisions are hampered by an inability to throw to a point on the field, rather than to the receiver themselves. This is evidenced by main long ball accuracy on corner endzone throws, and his 50/50 sideline throw, but near inability to throw to the middle of the field, or hit a receiver in stride, or throw a receiver open at full game speed.

Unfortunately, there's no way to really fix these problems.

I meant that I think he has a lack of confidence specifically in his ability to make reads, not necessarily on going rogue on a play call. He's actually quite a cocky kid (the arrow shooting/head bobbing after a TD throw, even if he made a series of awful throws before that one) that doesn't strike me as being afraid of a confrontation, but he's slow, timid, and noncommittal when making anticipatory throws over the middle of the field. He either cannot read a defense, has low confidence in his ability to read a defense, or both.

I've seen enough of our defense taking angles in games that put them hitting with there upper body behind the offense player instead of the front side. Amazingly enough it's why people run for another 10 to 15 yards when we cant hold on from behind and here we go again in practice. .thx fingers dont mean be debbie downer...Just be nice see them tackle correctly. Dont have to be genius to figure this out

Wonder how much of that is a result of the hairline trigger “targeting” flags refs are giving out like candy on Halloween lately?

You can slice and dice it anyway you want...but the fact is JG is an Ohio Valley level QB at best. He's just not good. He has a lucky throw here and there...but I've never seen a QB under center stare at the sideline as much as he does...looking like he has no ability to make any decisions on his own. I'm surprised he doesn't look to the sidelines WHILE he's dropping back to throw. "Who should I throw it to?" He's just no good...and Pruitt is stupid to keep trotting his lame azz out there.

I was replying to angles that DB's take and can be seen still taking in the video. How the poster said plays resulting in +15 gains after contact. Oh, and I've seen plenty eyes on thighs miss because they continue to take bad angles and don't break down properly.

I agree with that we have not executed well at times, plenty of youngun mistakes.
