Areas of improvement?

[WaywardVol]

In most years, you see a team grow, develop and get better as the year goes along. I thought the WR group performed above expectations. Is there any other group where you saw improvement from game one to game 12?

I’d say we saw a regression in a number of areas. I can’t think of one group on defense where the position group made strides.

Thoughts?
My card…..

OL: regressed
RB: regressed
WR: Better than expected and performed through out the year.
TE: Davis improved. Kitz regressed.
QB: regressed

DL: Regressed
LB: status quo or regressed
DB: I didn’t see the freshman improve (despite playing all year) and Hood looks far worse than he did in early games.
Safety: Terrible to start and terrible until the end.

Special teams: Regressed.

I thought Redmond improved as the year went along.

 

[bpalmer28]

Redmond got much better as season progressed. I agree with the rest

 

[Vato]

Coaching regressed
Oc regressed
Dc. Regressed

 

[Volz4lif3]

One thing I noticed with this team it was no consistency

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

TE: improved
WR: improves
QB: drastic improvement
OL: push
RB: not really a regression coming from Sampson
Defense: huge regression
Special teams: regressed

How was the OC regressed?

The defense regressed and needs a lot of help this offseason. Like a lot.

Tennessee should never get blown out, especially at home. And especially to freaking Vandy. That's an entire team and coach regression.

Dark Mode regressed

I thought the OL actually played pretty well vs. last year. JA had a lot more time in most cases. Runs with sub Sampson talent had more room.

D Line was a big disappointment. No Dogs just wanting to dominate. Same for LB.

The huge problem I have with our staff, is that they get out coached (it seems) during every half time.

We look like gang busters the first half and come out and get blasted in the 2nd half. 3 points over the past 2 games in the 2nd half.

INEXCUSABLE!

I was referring to progressing through the year. I agree, the OL was better than last year. We have legit bodies at that position now. No offense to Cooper Mays, but that guy had no business starting 4 years in the SEC.

The Oline got worse from week 1 to week 12z

Strange take on Mays IMO. I'm thinking he gave up almost no sacks and played great all year. It was everybody around him that was the problem.

 

[The Original Fade]

I see 4-5 losses on the schedule next year so expect more of the same

If you think Mays was a quality OL, you are entitled to that opinion. He was spunky, but way too small to be playing at this level without ever having his job challenged. It’s pretty friggin sad that they couldn’t teach anyone to snap the ball for five years and still Had to go to a transfer because Sattewhite wasn’t ready.

 

[ETV]

First half = progress

Second half = garbage.

 

[rocketskates]

Redmond got better. The fanbase got better at swearing as the season went on.

Bishop did not regress, the other backs did. Morris is going to be good.

I have to grade them as a group. Bishop was consistent. The other two sucked ass.

QB play regressed throughout the yr. Joey was inconsistent - beginning at Bama. He had a a good first half & Fl.
