Bench JG

[LivinginthePast]

He holds the ball to long behind a garbage oline. We don't have a line. We already know we will lose to Georgia and everyone else. Let's play the other QBs like butch did few years back and Dobbs was discovered. Do it. What do we have to lose but to lose.

He doesn't hold it too long, because this O-Line doesn't give any QB long enough to hold it too long. The O-Line does not even give a QB 3 seconds consistently.

 

[Rocky Top Raby]

Shoulda been benched after the half for sure. Underthrew a couple of potential TDs.

 

[MurphyVol]

That would fix everything!

We don’t have another Dobbs on this roster

Do it for his own protection.

JG is the least of our problems

 

[Volumnus 2011]

I don't actively hang around other fan bases, so I don't know what they're like, but this one is straight up asinine

 

[UTK]

JG certainly wasn’t the problem. Really only 1 TO was on him.

Uhh? The Screen and the Deep Ball? That's 2.

 

[joevol33]

Might as well fire Pruitt, cancel the season, and burn the stadium while we're at it right?

 

[Vol Kilmer]

One thing's for dizzamn sho. He won't be scaring anyone in the SEC as a runner anytime soon. What a laffo that has been. I guess Dual-threat means as a fumble and interception?

Haha, I gotta admit that was funny

He had open receivers tonight several times that had 1 or 2 steps on their man and he under threw them every damn time...

In all honesty, the deep ball was on the WR as much if not more than JG. The WR didn't fight at all for the ball and Pruitt said he interfered with by the other defender. The defender who intercepted it fought much harder than the WR and made an exceptional catch.

At least he got it where the receivers could touch the ball. Chryst was so far off target the receivers couldn't even slow up to catch the ball.

 

[AstonRoyal]

I think the real question is why are we calling so many deep ball plays with the ways our offense line is playing

 

[Chitlin&theDude]

Bench the offensive line

 

[Cartervol]

Can't read defenses, doesn't see field good, holds the ball forever. Got himself killed a couple times when he should have flipped his protection to side they were blitzing from. Other than that he was just swell. Going to need them both for this 0-4 October stretch coming up. I would bet they'll both play. Probably out of necessity.

So.... The receiver is responsible.... Umm was anyone else open during the play that JG could have thrown to?

To me it looked like that defender was stride for stride with the receiver and the ball should either have been led more or not thrown at all. A QBs job is to place it where only the receiver can get it.

Edit: The receiver he threw it to is not a 50/50 ball receiver FWIW.

in the receiver's defense (cant remember who it was now), his legs got tangled up with the DBs, so he was off balance

I believe that is when Pruitt got the penalty (I think he was complaining about a no-call)

Yes, the receiver quit on it and didn't fight for it. That is on the receiver - not the QB.

Another poster said Helton is calling Bama plays without Bama players, and I kinda agree.

That dive out of bounds was weak...

JG still doesn't seem to have touch on the intermediate or long throws. Still seems unable to consistently hit the man in stride. But, I will say this in his defense and that is that Helton could have really helped him out tonight but didn't other than calling running plays but even at that Helton seems unable to mix plays up or even to cause the other team any problems at all. That is not good. Should have been a lot of quick slants and curls and outs tonight but the play calling was so bad.
