Coach Weinke and Coach Tee VIDEO

That was an interesting answer to the question about who was number 2 (with the assumption by the reporter that JG is the starter).

BONUS Shelton Felton on the OLBs


That was very enjoyable. Felton is just a good ole country boy that loves football and having confidence in his output. He says Roman Harrison will be a force to be reckon with. And Bennett is a leader. I expect these 2 to be the dogs on those edges. With Tootoo, Crouch, and Banks causing havoc from the inside. And yo! 6'3 276 OLB???😁

I hope Tee is right that we've upgraded the speed on the outside. Jennings and Calloway were good receivers, but we've lacked a field stretching type receiver since Josh Malone left.
I think it's hindered our running game as well, hard to run the ball when you can't stretch the field.

Hmm... Weinke gave JG big props for improving in an area that k-town and pulaski said wasn't a weakness... "anticipation".
You've said he couldn't improve at all and has reached his ceiling. I've never once said anything one way or the other about his anticipation because I think it's a crock argument, I've always thought his development was coming along as it should.

They've also all stressed the importance of being in the same system 2 years straight and the impact that's had on helping JG speed up and anticipate more, you have on more than 1 occasion said having different OCs should not hinder a 5th year guy, seems like they contradict you a lot more than me if you'd like to get into a pissing contest over it. You're on record that he can't improve and has reached his ceiling, you're on record as to having given up on him as the Vol QB and on record as saying Vols will lose games if he plays, I'm on record as calling all of that BS.

Thanks for the post, it's easy to like this coaching staff! I think our defense may be just shy of great, I think we'll have a top5 passing defense and I think our offense is going to improve, really could be a breakout season for Coach Pruitt and this staff.

a qb who could do them justice (save dobber), a hb who could keep blitzes off of guarantanimo, and an ol to block. amirite.

No. I've said that I did not think he could. You don't have to be dishonest EVERY TIME.

Ummmm... OK. I think anyone who reads that sentence will "get it".

You cannot serious think his development has been on pace... that's more delusional than anything k-town has said. Even if you believe he still has potential... a RS Junior should have better developed skills than JG had last fall. He shouldn't be throwing long passes short. He shouldn't still be struggling to get the ball out on time so often. He should be able to throw a slant. He should be able to sell a screen. He should be able to lead receivers properly. None of that is "system" related. They're basic skills taught in every program.

No. I have said that it does not explain what we've seen from JG. It didn't prevent him from leading receivers properly as both Maurer and Shrout did with no more experience in the system. It did not prevent him from anticipating throws as both of the others did at times. If I was wrong and he in fact DOES over come this issue when the lights come on... then so be it. But I'll stand by that statement until it is proven incorrect. But like I have said repeatedly, JG deserves success as much as anyone I've ever seen at UT. He's put up with a ton and stuck it out. He seems to be a good guy with a good attitude who loves UT and his team.

If You're on record that he can't improve and has reached his ceiling, you're on record as to having given up on him as the Vol QB and on record as saying Vols will lose games if he plays, I'm on record as calling all of that BS.
And now you are "on record" LYING about what I have and have not said.

Some guys are all-stars on the practice field but ultimately let the spotlight get to them when it's an actual game. If JG can just let go and not be so wound up by the moment, then I think we'll see a completely different guy on the field. As much as some people don't want to give him any credit, he's definitely shown flashes where he would look really comfortable and string together 5-6 great throws/decisions. Maybe the comfort of finally being in the same system will give him the confidence he needs to get over the mental hurdle. Without a doubt he has the ability to be a great QB.

Lol, whatever. You're the king of the neverJG NegaVols and you are constantly saying that JG can't anticipate, can't see plays, always late with throws is something that he can't overcome, you've said it on here a thousand times. These recent little interviews have been the exact opposite of what you predicted and I think it's funny. You're a NegaVol anyway so it won't take long for you to move to something else to leech onto and tell us all how bad it is.

"Time in the system" is generally a very, very minor thing for a quality veteran QB... as inconvenient as that is for you.

That was one of your last comments about JG and new OCs and what they mean to a QBs development. Your take seems to be the exact opposite of the coaches take. Spin it spinner!

You're probably another couch coach who thinks JG has "reached his ceiling and Vols can't win with him". The NegaVol neverJG fanbase was never right and I think it'll show more than ever this season.

I'll stand by that comment. We've seen it WAY too many times regardless of the "niceties".

Burrow won the Heisman as a veteran QB after a complete system change and an attempt to design a system around his strengths.

Chris Leak adapted to a pretty radical scheme change from Zook to Meyer. Going into his 3rd year, he was faced with his 3rd OC... and they ran different systems. He was 2nd team All SEC that year in spite of being a drop back passer in a spread option scheme.

Every OC JG has had... has been looking for a way to design a system around his strengths. NONE have succeeded to date.

I love Chaney and will respect him even more if he figures out how to turn JG around. But your idea that there is nothing to turn around... is laughable.

That is a patently dishonest statement. I don't agree with you but really didn't think of you as someone who would lie the way you are right now. Funny thing about this particular lie is that you saw me VERY willing to find hope in JG's performances vs UK, USCe, and Mizzou. That went out the window when he played his worst ball of the year in the last two weeks against opponents UT would have blown out with even "good" QB play.

and you are constantly saying that JG can't anticipate, can't see plays, always late with throws is something that he can't overcome, you've said it on here a thousand times.
Yes. I have CONSISTENTLY said he appears to have a fatal weakness in those things. I have NEVER said he could not overcome it... only that I did not believe he would based on his history. These weaknesses VERY MUCH look to be innate. If he overcomes them... I'll be glad to be wrong. In spite of your deceptive attempt to make this personal for me, I would really like JG to be successful. He deserves it and it would be great for UT.

These recent little interviews have been the exact opposite of what you predicted and I think it's funny.
Well, no. Not even close to "the exact opposite". He said specifically that JG's improvement in anticipation has been a bright spot. That is something you again denied was even an issue in this thread.

You're a NegaVol anyway so it won't take long for you to move to something else to leech onto and tell us all how bad it is.
LOL.. you are ridiculous with such lies. I am critical at times... but by no stretch a "negavol". Having eyes open to the bad as well as the good doesn't make someone a "negavol". There were those who accused me of being negative when Jones was coach. Many of them voiced the same criticisms AFTER he was fired and they no longer had a motive to deny his failings.
