Its so upsetting that pwag and bmoore have to play major minutes. I want a new secondary except for Randolph, McNeil, Coleman and who knows about the kids that haven't seen any snaps.

...then I guess they are spending too much time reviewing practice performance and obviously aren't watching the same games that we have been. Give them a series, just one. If they crash and burn then you have successfully proven your point to them that practice translates to the games.

I'm ready to see how some of the young guys respond to adversity, I've seen enough of how the vets handle it.

Lol. I know, I know. I still think Jaq is playing better than what he's getting credit for. Saulsberry blew me away. He was probably the last guy I thought would come in and contribute right away.

I laugh at this stuff about not playing certain players because of practice. Some guys just hate practice. The best D-lineman to ever come out of Tennessee Reggie White wasn't hell at practice. But on gameday he was unstoppable.

Guys like Marsalis Teague and Waggner can practice all they want but the talent just isn't there to play at a UT level.

I don't know why Geraldo Orta isn't getting to play in any nickel situations over say a Brewer. Pretty sure he can cover much better and he's one of the top athletes in the secondary. His ball skills are nice too.

But Sal thinks he can just line up like NCAA12 and run a fire blitz to stop every thing. Lol

Then nothing because I couldn't put Teague in the game to get killed over and over. As soon as #10 came into the game Miss. State went after him knowing Bumphis would get open.

And if practice is so important and they say E.Gordon doesn't practice well then why is he playing? And he blows a lot of assignments I've watched McNeil tell him to do something more than once and he does what the hell he wants to do.

Dooley's press conference is somewhat hilarious. He's saying Jordan Williams "probably" should've been playing earlier this year.

He wants to play Gray and Bonner more now they've just got to practice better.

Hunter isn't playing like a high draft pick.......

This should've been going on after the Florida loss Dooley. It takes half a year to realize this stuff really Dooley. These are things "E-coaches" around here have been saying for weeks on in. Now I'm not saying I/or any of the other posters should be running this program. I'm saying my head coach should see these things before me as a fan.

Bonner should have been playing all along. Sure he will make mistakes, but hes light years better than #10.

You can't believe he would come here. Also that running QB stuff isn't a go in this league. Florida, Bama, and LSU would all punch their offense in the mouth.

It worked well for Tebow and Jordan Jefferson and works well for Conner Shaw although he needs to throw the ball better. So how would it not work?

Worked good enough to get them wins against ranked teams something we haven't done in years. I want wins couldn't care less what offense it takes to do it even if that means running the wing-t triple option although its not my first choice.

Lol, if LSU had a half decent quarterback they would have been national champs, they won despite him not because of him. Also, what has connor shaw done to impress anybody? He beat a georgia team that didn't show up, did nothing against LSU and nothing against Florida. Plus out of all the running quarterbacks in the SEC, Manziel is the only one that has not gotten hurt. As for Tebow, the next "tebow" will not come around anywhere near enough to win consistently.

I called for us to go young in the secondary weeks ago. Coleman proved my point quickly. He's made more plays than #23 and #10 combined. Will they all have growing pains? Yes. But Florida, Bama, and LSU have done it year after year. Eric Berry(all world),D.Miliner, Janoris Jenkins, Marcus Roberson, Joe Haden, Patrick Peterson, Morris Claiborne, Kareem Jackson, Johnathan Banks hell the list can go on if I named guys outside of the conference. Teams do this all the time because you have to be able to run with WRs. Bonner and Coleman would be playing off each other by now. Gray will have some war wounds as well as the nickel back. I'm not saying they would lock people down but they would make plays based on sheer talent. Now all of a sudden we let a young group of WRs crucify us with basic fades and 9 routes.

Absolutely, when the current status of the program has members of the fanbase calling for 73 year-old lifers to right the ship there are some serious issues. I'm certainly not taking away anything Bill Snyder has done during his career at Kansas St. but obviously it is beyond a mute point.

And Dooley said a couple weeks ago that they should've let Coleman play more last year & earlier this year. Ya think? Duh
