I would disagree with da'ricks effort saturday. He played hard but was double covered the whole game. Plus he got nicked in the 4th quarter and was frustrated.

I disagree. He clearly took plays off. Found it funny at one point when the announcers where like "he must be hurt, he didn't run that play full-speed." No, it's because whenever things don't go his way he gets frustrated and puts less effort into things.

Big difference in his level of effort from UK to Vandy.

Everything on Da'Rick is absolutely true. He WILL be the next Terrel Owens.


Everything on Tyler is absolutely exaggerated. He participates without question but gives a half-assed effort.


Tyler was also bold-faced lying after the Kentucky game when he said he didn't care about his stats. Have you noticed how he's always doing that little "what are you talking about?" hand gesture when he's on the field? It's all about how they run the ball the play after he does it. I like Bray and is potential is infathomable. Problem is, I don't know how much he cares anymore.

Well, now I'm really worried because the QB needs to be the hardest worker on the team. This is a major issue, if true. If he doesn't want to work then get Worley ready-because he seems to give a crap.

And all of Bray's arm talent didn't do anything last Saturday. Wind or no wind. That performance was pathetic. Unless strep throat is just crazy bad nowadays, and he came down with it that morning.

Well then now, you can turn this on the coaching. Chaney and Co. should have caught on to the fact that he wasn't able to make those throws and done one of two things:

1 - You stop with the 15-yard our routes and come back to slants, curls, drags, or short hot posts.

2 - You put Worley in.

which makes much more sense than blaming the WR's for the QB sucking

I don't want to believe crap like this. However, it was clear Rogers and Bray put zero effort into the UK game. Clear Rogers does have a serious attitude problem. Clear that Bray doesn't study the game very well because he doesn't even know how to check into the proper run play.

Seems like Dooley is not the kind of guy that would allow for stuff like this to go on in his program, but if one pieces together all the things that have happened and been said over the course of the season this doesn't seem to be completely crazy.

I've supported him all along, hope he gets this thing going.

If Bray isn't putting in the work off the field like the article states, then Dooley is a liar, because Dooley has said time and time again that Bray has been putting in the work. Between the 2 men, I choose to believe Dooley, especially given the candid remarks he makes about his players.

I think they were hoping at some point he would wake up, and before you knew it it was the 4th quarter and he has to stay in at that point.

Just think.. the San Diego State boards could have been discussing this same issue.

Did he say Bray was drawing up plays? It must have been on his wrist band. Look at how many times he stares at it even after they move to the line of scrimmage.

Yep, he said it.

"A source with access to Tennessee’s offensive coaches says they collectively shake their heads of Bray’s constant freelancing on offense. I was told the following ‘Offensive coaches say it’s a joke how many times Tyler just draws up plays in the dirt during games. He literally makes it up sometimes as he goes along. And nobody is going to do anything about it."

Dooley has said he has put in more work than he did before. We can see now that it's not saying too much. So apparantly he went up a notch in film study....to notch one.

So then, in contrast to Basilio's claims, the QB is in fact running the plays that are called and not making them up as he goes along (save for the play at the end of regulation vs Vandy). What other parts of this blog do we need to discredit to make you see it's all fluff?

He was hurt. I was at the game 9 rows from the field behind the ut bench. He was visibly limping from the end of 3rd quarter/start of 4th. It became worse after a db rolled up the back of his legs. On one deep incomplete pass, he barely made it back to the bench before the next play. He was out of the game for one play then back in. Da'rick has his issues but he left it on the field saturday.

Luckily for us Worley has the tools to push Bray for pt if the coaches give him an opportunity.

I thought Bray was going to be all-world as well at the beginning of the year, just like he did. Adversity has reared its head and we'll find out what he is made of this off-season. There is a 0% chance he leaves for the NFL next year; he can't read defenses well, he doesn't know how to manage a run game, he zero's in on his primary targets too much (i.e. Rogers 3-TEAMED vs UK), apparently quite lazy, and clearly immature.

We also need to remember that these guys are not even 21 yet, have had no JR's/SR's to help them man-up. I remember even when I was in high school as a frosh/soph that I looked-up to the Jr/Sr's on my team and tried to make sure I didn't do immature things to embarrass myself around them while also trying to emulate them in various ways. Unfortunately for this team they're gonna have to learn it all with very little help, which is why I think it's a great idea to have as many former players around as possible.

I also think the effort from the underclassmen in the UK game was a direct reflection of how they feel about our out-going seniors. Maybe those "pep" talks by the seniors back fired. Tauren Poole, who refused to enter a game 2 years ago because it was a blowout, is never going to be a leader taken seriously by his teammates. "If i had it to do over again, I don't know if would choose UT."

So who will be the team leaders next season? Bray said he needed to get away from football for a while. That statement wasn't very Manning like.

My whole point was that this blog is crap. You're the one that ran with the adjustments stuff and I was just reminding you that teams should make adjustments. Bottom line is the offense is running the plays that are called. Listening to the KY game on the radio, it was said multiple times that Bray looked like his thumb was still bothering him. Maybe stop running the 15 yd out patterns? And also the line didn't block worth a flip in that game.. Don't get me started on that BS

everyone needs a break. Bray is playin with a broken thumb, and he loves to play this game. So the leaders will be Bray, Hunter, and DaRick. They will put their money where their mouths are. There will be more step-up to the plate next year. IMO

I suspect there are bits and pieces of truth here but I think Tony B sensationalizes it to get some talk stirred up.

Either way, this was irresponsible journalism. With all that is at stake here, nothing should be posted as a journalist, without knowing for sure that the information is 100% accurate.

AND, lets throw to Rogers into double coverage all day while Rivera is wide open, oh, and Lane wide open across the middle, in plain view. I'm a bit suspicious of Brays decisions, that's for sure. Stats...favoritism? Idk..

That does happen a few times a game.
