Aguilar first performance poll

[volfeeva]

I personally see the glimpses of 2022. The offense, when it’s has to go, seems more fluid. Unless it’s dialed down, we seem to be more complete and more options are there. Joey is good. RB’s are good. Defense is the question mark

I thought the same thing. Hitting receivers on the deep go route for touchdowns, reminded me of 2022 and also the defense allowing that open pass route across the middle . We'd stop the run, get them 3rd and long and secondary gives up that cross route for a 1st down, just like 2022. Hopefully we fix that

I honestly expected it. Kid has the tools and the smarts to play in this offense

 

[Dormandy Fan]

He did not look like a freshman. No panic.

Because he isn't?

 

[marcusluvsvols]

It was just good to see a well thrown deep ball. He played pretty alright for his first game with a brand new and very green group. I’d give him a B. A little better than I expected.

You just made a somewhat positive post about UT. This is progress. Good job.

 

[LadyVolette]

Need better play from defensive backs. Their quarterback should never have that many passing yards on a Vol defense, but it's hard to be critical when you win by 19.

They (Defense) took advantage of a lot of opportunities and tuckered out on some at the end is what I saw. Scrappy. Mama likey.

Slightly above my expectations. That deep post was perfectly placed. His deep ball in general was more accurate than we’ve seen the last 2 seasons. He did have a couple of under throws, but if you miss you want to miss short (high chance of PI and “give your guy a chance”)

 

[PEPPERJAX]

He did not look like a freshman. No panic.

He definitely didn’t because he’s 24 years old.

 

[Vol8188]

Who voted No?

Probably one of the many who come on here and tell us everyone of our guys is a Heisman candidate

 

[VOLtaism]

Because he isn't?

Well, his 2 backups are.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

Who voted No?

Nico’s diddy

 

[Hairy Vols]

He definitely played to my expectations, with a mediocre performance.

I'm going to nominate and give you my vote for this weeks most negative Vol after a win!

CONGRATS NEGATIVE NANCY!!!

Who voted No?

That was me. I was expecting him to win the Heisman running away, and I'm starting to have second thoughts.

The idea of that made me laugh. So I am going to assume it's true. lol.

Its my fault for not having my expectations higher. Thank you for the reality check. ily <3

 

[marcusluvsvols]

I said that JA would put up better stats than that loser we canned.

Pick the score I went 41-13 with 260 yards passing . Almost nailed passing yards perfectly but was off too far on the score. Joey Ballgame played better than I expected though. There were 5 drops I counted.. maybe more I missed. He still went for like 260 and 3TDs with no picks

 

[Voltrapnbama]

I like seeing a QB who wants to win the game, and is willing to take off running for yards/keep a drive alive and not just stand there like a statue.. He threw some nice passes and missed a few, but over all I liked his play. We can win with this guy

While I agree with you 100 percent. He is a guy that we can lose with and it be okay. (It’s football). It won’t be from lack of effort or heart. The team has bought in to him and so has CJH. 2 straight pass plays told cuse that we wasn’t pulling the reigns back. I’m a fan of the kid already. From media sessions, to his play, to his postgame interview, and with his journey. He isn’t a guy I’ll ever hate in regardless of he has a few bad games. He is the best option for us right now

 

[goldvol]

What the hell are you talking about?

He overthrew wide open receivers a few times with 57% completion and a bad fumble against a team in the lower half of our schedule. Tell me I’m wrong.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

He was solid but not great. Missed at least half a dozen easy throws. Overall, I'll take it for his first game. Go Vols!!!

True. But add in the drops and dude goes over 300 and 3tds in his debut. Thats good for any new QB.

Ok, you're wrong.

Saying someone was mediocre is negative? You must be new to volnation

 

[LAVol1]

Good game, but needs to improve accuracy, throwing high.

Better than Nico.

To my untrained eye, it looked like he was throwing the short to intermediate passes with the nose of the football up, causing it to sail. That probably makes his long ball pretty good, but bad on short passes.

You're wrong.

 

[goldvol]

Ok, you're wrong.

sure, just explain which part was wrong…

 

[CAPTAIN--VOL CAVALRY]

Did Nico have 250 pass yds at all last year?

Yes, he lit Chattanooga up for 314 yards and 3 TDs

The Mocs, lol. He really showed them

but yeah, he did once
