For all the hell Lockdown1 gave Austin Rogers about his few dropped balls, and also how D-Moore was the best WR we have, D-Moore has dropped more balls this game than Rogers did all last year.

To be fair, Ainge actually threw the ball to Rogers when he was open. Crompton throws the ball behind Moore when he is open or tries to needle it when he is about to get plastered by a safety. :(

D Moore makes me prey for Austin Rogers being granted a sixth year. Moore makes me wish for Burney Veazey at WR. Moore makes me wish for the days of Benji Shuler at WR. He is the worst I've ever seen. He dropped 3 balls last week and God knows how many this week.

Moore has a couple ball marks directly between his numbers

Moore had a couple of balls thrown behind him but he also clearly dropped balls that he definitely should have caught. Either way, if you get your hands on it, you gotta catch it.

Moore has dropped at least 4-5 passes tonight. Given Crompton doesn't hit his targets where he needs to but if it hits your hands you should catch the ball.

Won't deny that. But one he was about to get hit from behind and it was only 4 yards. Would have been 3rd and 6 if he caught it. They probably don't expect the ball to come their way anymore. It's not a coincidence that Taylor, Rogers and Smith had like 75, 55 and 55 catches in Ainges senior season and 25, 15 and 15 in Cromptons Junior season. The receivers Crompton is playing with are juniors and have caught like 15 balls since high school playing with Crompton.

God I hate some of you people.

Crompton cannot hit a guy in stride for his life...unless it's a really slow guy like Stocker.

I am not blaming Moore or any of the other WRs for dropped passes. If they run improper routes, that is one thing. But I think JC's knowledge of the playbook is poor based on a few times the OL has looked totally confused tonight.

Dawson I've been saying this on other threads. That D.Moore is a big disappointment this year. Now will say this I'd rather have a healthy A.Rogers over G.Jones right now. He's beginning to look more like Kelly Washington minus the talent. G.Jones runs some of the worst routes I've seen. He has a bad understanding of the game to bad understanding of the game to be a former QB. He thinks he can make people miss with his terrible juke moves. He's flat out terrible when add that big mouth on top of his skill set.

It is incredible the lengths some people will go to lay all the blame at Crompton's feet. I know that's the easy way out but good grief. If the ball hits you in the hands or worse yet right in the ol' #6... you should catch it. Otherwise, you are not an SEC caliber WR.

You've got to be kidding... You aren't going to blame them when they get hit in the hands or chest???

I agree that Crompton should be criticized for throwing behind guys or throwing into coverage... but how can you say these other guys aren't to blame for their contributions to UT's passing woes?

Completely ridiculous! The passing game isn't going to get better until both the QB AND the receivers start playing better. If the 4-6 balls that JC threw behind the WR on crossing routes had been on target then odds are that half would have been dropped.

My sincere hope now that Warren is out of the picture is that CLK will go with a 4 WR rotation. Let Nuke do special plays and ST's. Let Moore be the water boy... he'd do it fast. Throw it to Jones, Hancock, Teague, and Z Rogers/Oku.

Wow you have really come around on this one. I would take Kelley Washington over all our receivers. I think Kiffin would love KW as well. Washington was cocky but he was a player and a hard worker. He has made a living in the NFL playing special teams. I don't think he would have been successful on the teams he has played with if he had a bad attitude or bad work habits.

Yeah... at least A Rogers ran the route correctly before his drops. j/k

I've always respected him and felt like he got a bad rap. Many of his drops were in traffic unlike what we're seeing this year.

Yes, because if you watch all the games on saturday and sunday, you never see balls caught that are thrown at their shoe tops, behind them, high. I also dont' think guys like Cutler, Favre are backing off that fast ball. Do I think Crompton is going to be mistaken for Heath Shuler, of course not, but it would be nice to see a receiver attack the ball.

So, let me get this straight...it's not the receivers' jobs to catch footballs that hit them in the hands or numbers??

I really can't stand a player like G.Jones. He talks a lot but can't even come close to backing up his talk. He's not even physically gifted enough to be talking like he talks. He talks as if he's a monster with the ball in his hands and he's average at best. I wish a lot of people on this board would stop building him up. To tell the truth I about to give up on all of these vets at receiver if they don't produce in the next two games(especially Bama).

Normally it's a lot easier for me to single someone dropping balls when I watch the game on ESPN---easier to make out the number on the jersey # in HD---but at one point in the third quarter my anger got the best of me when I yelled out "HAS DENARIUS MOORE CAUGHT ONE ****ING BALL TONIGHT?!?!?!?!?" (in my wife's ear no less--yes I got "in trouble")

Look I know I'm gonna get flamed for this but, maybe, just MAYBE Crompton actually has a good night this past Saturday had his WR's, specifically Moore, caught the dagum balls that hit them in the hands/chest/HELMET.

No. Stop it. I am not defending Crompton.

But...it was EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL to watch at least 5+ throws hit receivers in hands but ultimately get dropped. Gerald Jones had 2 that could have been 1st downs, by my count and POV. Hancock dropped one and had one hit him on the side of the head (or maybe it was Oku?--couldn't tell from sect. Q).

...and then there's Denarius Moore. I swear it seemed like the only catch he had all night was the very last play of the game. There may have been more than that, but honestly who cares if so.

Crompton deserves the brunt of the criticism but the WR's did him no favors until the 4th quarter when--suddenly--they decided it was time to start playing football.

oh and who can forget Warren lining up wrong and causing the delay of game. Who knows what happens had that not happened, maybe they score on that play....

I know I know....if's and but's...

*chuckle*

orangeblood, you aren't crazy. Crompton sucks, but 9 drops (I think 4 of them were on 3rd down) are not his fault. The receivers catch those passes, Tennessee might win that game.

Define "produce". If you mean make the play on clearly catchable balls then I can see that but Crompton isn't going to put up numbers with any consistency if he had Witten, Pickens, Meachem & Stallworth as targets. It'd help, but the biggest limiting factor would still be under center.

Then we are in agreement.

As an aside when we DO get a completion it'd be nice to maybe get the ball in stride now and then. I guess it's being greedy when you aren't even getting completions but man, Crompton makes YAC almost impossible even on the majority of ones he does get to a receiver. (by which I mean not little flares to RB's)

Very well said sir. G. Jones is very over rated.
If they gave out awards for trash talk GJ would be an All American.
