Allowing all the negativity in multiple threads about our team and our coach breeds more.

It will only get worse as more people that LOVE the Vols and hate reading trash against them on a UT site, end up like me, and start standing up to it.

I do my best to stay away from it, I don't go into those threads, but 423's involvement in this one is a joke.

Sorry it bothers you and others though.

Hey! We're leading Vandy at the half!!!!

Warning me?

LOL :lolabove:

When you stop attacking our team, I'll stop attacking you for it. I am attacking your style of hit and run attacks. I can't personally attack you, because lucky for me, I dont know you.

I would imagine that's why I've not been called down by the mods. I'm attacking the way you attack the Vols, not you personally. The style you employee makes you a troll, and makes you a target.

Change your style if you don't want to be called out for it.

You don't argue the points made in a post. Instead you attack the poster, and that is against the board rules.

I like the time it gives the QB to see the field. See the defense, and make the right reads. Ainge isn't the best in the world at it, and I think the extra few seconds really gives him an advantage.

The're are obviously times that you can't be in shotgun in short yardage and such, but in the middle of the field, I wish we would just run plays out of it and variations of it.

Ok. Haven't you seen your shadow yet? :hi:


If you want to discuss "points made in a post", discuss the positives of the first half for us.

Without ripping our team, be HONEST about the positives of the first half.

I'd LOVE to discuss those with you.

Question for you guys. Since UT has a hard time running out of a down stance and we pass block so well, why not run more shotgun draw plays with the Oline in a standing position. Seems to me that would work a bit better and maybe help our running game.

Fulmer has this subtle mental damage which makes it almost impossible for him to give up on the idea of running it up the middle from a down stance no matter what the team or how badly it's working. It's like Tourettes. Even when he knows he shouldn't, he just can't help himself.

Some people say it was getting hit in the head so much when he was an O linemen, and the 1971 playbook is the last thing he remembers. Others say his mamma ate some bad barbeque back when she was pregnant. Personally, I think it happened when his daughters became teenagers- the trauma left him with this obsessive need to watch teenage boys fruitlessly pound head-first into each other....

Ainge isn't the best in the world at reading defenses? He's 16 of 21 for 181 yards, 1 TD and 0 picks at the half.

He's playing Vandy, which got torched for over 600 yards against UK last week.

Ainge is having a great day. But anyone that knows football knows that the actual reading of the defense is not his strongest attribute. Not a knock on him, just the truth.

I don't know that I'd agree with that. He'll occasionally stare down a receiver and not see somebody, but he doesn't really throw into coverage all that much.

The shotgun formation gets rid of the overwhelming majority of running plays in our playbook. Granted we don't have much of a running game anyway, but it sounds like you're proposing we adopt Florida's offense.

Nah, the spread option won't work in the SEC.

I just wish that Tennessee would develop some running plays out of the shotgun, and run it more often.

Most of our success this season has come out of the shotgun.

The speed of our RB's(When healthy) could pose problems out of the shotgun and if they are going to keep the "dancing" style, it's better used in a shotgun formation than coming out of the "I".

Correct. However, Crompton does throw into coverage. It's a matter of experience. Almost all QB's have trouble reading defenses until they gain enough experience.

I don't mind playing shotgun... We're not a big threat to run anyways. Why the bs about it? Just line up in shotgun and pass.

Go back and watch the Florida game. Also all of last season. Also even against Cal, he got away with doing it.

Again, not a shot on him, but it was something that Cutcliffe workedwith him on before they even saw each other on a football field, and something he has improved, but is still not his strongest attribute.
