3rd and Pruitt

[nash101]

Chavis had a bad rep on third downs but he was never this bad. Only 10 teams in the entire nation worse than on 3rd down defense - and that was before Florida’s 6 for 9 conversion rate today so far. If we could have made any of those stops, the halftime score might look better.

Only plus to trailing at the half is maybe the staff will actually make some halftime adjustments (as unlikely as that sounds)

Pressure on trask is the key. Pruitt is too big of a baby to try that though

We are. Thats why we keep getting burned on screen plays.

It doesn't matter what down it is. Anytime Mullen needs to pick up 10 or more yards, it is automatic versus this defense. Anytime, Any down

Look at our defense on 3rd and long...We are spread out all over the field, that's why these screens work.

Also, Chavis was only bad on 3rd from a defensive standpoint.....Pruitt is pathetic on 3rd down on both sides of the ball.

He's clueless. Has to go now!

Is there defensive line help on the way?

 

[tastycar]

But Pruitt is a defensive genius, they said

I'm assuming you used to be optimistic about JP?

Yes, for the coaching search we went through I thought he was our best bet, and was obviously hoping for it. Maybe once we get Bailey playing more consistent and some more experience we could be a better team. This second half sh$& blows my mind.

I’ve seen blocks of Swiss cheese that have less holes than our secondary.

1st game you've watched? Its been this way all year.

Nope, seen every minute of every game. I choose To be optimistic. I still Think there is talent and that we can compete once we have a great QB. Hopefully it’s Bailey given time.

For the first couple years, not so much this year. Are you saying you never had any optimism on either of them?

I really didn't. Not knocking your username... Just curious.

When he was hired, I said Tennessee will never be good at football again. So far, my suspicion is proving correct.

So far, but hope your wrong. (Unless we magically landed Freeze)
