Why tho?

Covid

I do not. Word is he made a throw in practice that JG could not make, the result was a long TD. Chaney was not happy that he made the play.

Hahahahahhaa. We have good players and they get in trouble because they're good. Hahahahahahahaha

 

[mr.checkerboards]

They’ve worked together a lot I’m sure. You’ve gotta know what you’re doing with that snap exchange and cadence. I bet it’s a good combo. Coop is tough af

I'm sure. Just figured Carvin was next in line at center. Unless he's out which is possible

That I can understand. But damn, feels like they just don’t want HB to succeed. Im sure it’s just my BVS..

Todd Grantham just flipped to the “blitz every play” portion of his playbook. Let’s hope the OL is ready.

@VolsDoc81TX I can confirm. I'm from Dickson and know people who've been through there and who help people when they come out the other side. Go follow "EB Intervention Team" on facebook. Contact them and ask to talk to TJ Pass. I've known TJ a long time, and he's dedicated his life to situations like this and people in your son's shoes.

Thank you. Gonna try keeping him closer to home.

Looks like JG threw the ball at the wrong Auburn defender. Mond throws it straight to #9 and he deflects it and A&M scores at TD.

Maybe today UT gets some breaks today like this.

Someone is going to be able to say I told you so today.

Let’s talk about a possible scenario that could happen. Let’s assume that Pruitt doesn’t get fired this year, and he doesn’t barring a loss to Vandy if that game is played. I think everyone would agree, if we step back and think rationally, that if we had decent QB play, at best we could be 6-1 right now and at worst 5-2. Let me say right off the bat, I’m not an idiot in spite of what Kingston says, I know there are plenty of other issues, but I still believe that is true that with better QB play our record is much better (I know it’s Pruitt’s fault he kept playing JG).

That being said, JG is gone next year. So is Weinke who couldn’t develop a hot dog if you gave him a wiener and a bun. Chaney likely becomes the QB coach, and he has a track record for developing QB’s.

Pruitt hires Bo Davis for the DL coach, and we have a lot of experience returning there as well as a lot of young talent which allows him to assist Nieds and Felton with developing the LB position. In spite of what we think of him as a HC, the guy knows how to coach defense.

We then have a full offseason with spring and fall camp to develop our players. That 2020 class was loaded and they’ll have their first offseason.

We’ve already established that QB play elevates the team, so in the fall of 2021 either Bailey or a transfer plays really well for us. There’s only 3 unwinnable games, and TN goes 8-4. This shows enough improvement for Pruitt to land that loaded class in 2022. They finish top 10 in the recruiting rankings with Simpson heading up that class.

We then go into 2022 with a Junior HB, a Rfr Salter, freshman HB, that loaded 20’ class as juniors more hopeful than we are now. Maybe by then Pruitt has learned and is doing a better job. HB then hands the reins to Salter or Simpson who elevates the program even more

I’m not saying this happens, I’m not saying that I believe that it happens, but this is a possible scenario.

Scanned your post and saw no Hugh Freeze reference
Reported, and no “like” awarded

Will Friend is gonna make his money today.

I hope Bailey balls out today and makes gutsy throws all day. Tell the staff to shove it and ball out kid

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

My heart goes out to you, doc! Prayers for your son and you/your family. Vapes are dangerous for so many reasons.

Thank you
Agreed.

Made Krystal burgers, now on toilet, great.

That was my dad and grandpa’s go to on the strip pregame... dropping krystal bombs in Neyland is not fun.. thank god they tore it down

I bet this is a 90% hand off strategy today. Less than 10 throws in the first half

I expect an average performance, which will be a step up

2-3 turnovers, pass for 220-240.

Sign me up for development reps

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Prayers, doc! I have a similar story about my sister. ER trip and everything. Scary and concerning times. Thankfully, she’s been sober for over three years now, and doing great. Wishing all the best for you and your family!

Thank you.

that’s okay..... because HB will just flip it to the wide open TE

 

[Govolsman98]

I do not. Word is he made a throw in practice that JG could not make, the result was a long TD. Chaney was not happy that he made the play.

Does Chaney have a mental disorder?

I’d say your right, our offense has been like watching paint dry all year. Why change now. I’m a miserable Vol fan sigh

 

[pierce60]

I like your optimism!!!

 

[Kingston Vol]

Really hope HB pulls the upset today. What a story.

But if we’re going to lose, we need to get smoked.

I dont want you to be right, but I think you will be. Fulmer needs to make a move afterwards too. Tell Pruitt we aren't scared of Florida so shut up and nut up.
