That's what gets me. Tonight to me he tried to make JG the hero. I saw Pruitt on the sideline and if I read his lips properly he said "take him out" on that second series.
He can barely said anything good at all about JT or Maurer. I can hardly see any encouragement from Pruitt about JT or Maurer at all. Pruitt needs to come out of the darkness and into the light.
If he keeps treating his coaches on the sidelines and players when they come off the field as badly as he does sometimes it will grow old pretty soon. We'll know more when the season ends. Pruitt actions looks like he would be a hard man to work for. Season end will be telling.

Whatever he sees in JG has to be showing during practice because he doesn't look as sharp as JT and BM in live games. The word is poised. He should be way ahead as a redshirt junior compared to freshman. The coaches know more than us fans I'm sure.

No but he did right before halftime and cost us points! The repeated dumbass thing he keeps doing. JG = redzone killer!

I think we are both in agreement. I'm not a jg fan. Everytime he plays decent means we are 1 play closer to him playing terribly. If I'm Maurer and Shrout, I'd feel there is nothing you can do here to play.

Personally, I feel they are doing it to keep Bailey. If we have upper classmen playing a lot we can say cmon in and learn a year and play. If we play a frosh and the frosh do well, then Bailey may want to leave with an easier path to quick playing time.

Yeah, unfortunately I'm afraid one handed JG is more trustworthy. It's just where we are right now.

Pffft, you're just a fan, you don't know anything. Unless...... are you one of the fans that are smarter than Pruitt thinks you are? I'm confused.

What bothers me most is how Pruitt talks about getting young guys experience and yet does not follow through at the most important position. Defense was playing lights out there was no sense of urgency needed as to where J T could not have played the whole game even with mistakes. Strikes me as hypocritical. If you are building for the future you must get the young guys up to speed and playing time. IMO JG's time at TN is done he is easy to scheme for SEC D coordinators. I find it hard to believe that the fan base are the only ones to see this.

Most DC's gamble to load the box against us to shut down our run feeling that JG can't throw the deeper passes, (which he can't). He's doing a better job recently because of improved OLine play which allows him to read the progressions better. He's still slow compared to the better QB's. I don't think he'll ever develop the trait of leading the receiver.

Pruitt and Chaney are in the unenviable position of having an upperclassman QB who makes bad decisions and may not have the support of the team and the backups are a redshirt freshman and a true freshman both with very little experience. This season is relegated to coaching up the young players and letting them gain experience. Next year Hill and whomever else is here will have to battle it out. Face it, the rebuild will take longer than any of us wanted.

Gonna get real interesting if Jimmy Holiday signs with UT. That's Jimmy, "The Jet" a QB running a 4.38 40 who was here for the USCe game.

Maybe the coach knows more than yall???? He gets called out for leaving JG in too long early in the season and now complaints about switching too early. Just can't win . . . Except the game.

What did he do on the slant to JJ, looked like he led him perfectly but according to the never JG crowd that was a fluke. He seems to luck into a bunch of good positive plays.

What got me was jg was holding his wrist and looked to be hurting and he is playing when we had a capable QB that could play.

He also pulled JG after the INT. It's not like he hasn't been consistent.

I think the coaches are being tough on Shrout because his history with errant passes. It's tough love to try to get his INT problem under control, because they know if he can fix that, he's an NFL-caliber QB. And that was an absolutely terrible decision by Shrout; this is his biggest problem is that he tries to force plays that aren't there.

Pruitt / Chaney made the right decision. We didn't need a high-scoring gunslinger to win this game; not with the way the defense was playing. Not turning the ball over was priority #1.

As much as people want to complain about JG struggling with the mental side of the game, Shrout has struggled with that even more. Yes, he's been able to deliver beautiful deep passes when he's had no pressure on him and had open guys. It's when he's had pressure or no open receivers that he's made more questionable decisions, but I'm hoping the tough love by the coaches pays off.

There is no indication that the freshmen will play well if given the chance. One has turned it over every quarter he plays and one has shown just how raw and inexperienced he really is. Nothing to indicate either one is a better option than JG

If the oline had gotten any push at all the running plays would have garnered a first down, and Shrout wouldn’t have had to pass......see how this game is played?

OL was subpar but I believe we score if we did not do the conservative predictable approach.

Doesn't mean he's capable. He didn't look capable Sat in limited action. You ever think that maybe he just doesn't know the offense well is why he's playing such limited minutes?

7 for 11 for 122 with a touch in a little over 1 quarter. That says give him legit shot.

Yeah, why take a man at his word! It's much better to invoke your thoughts into his own words! Lol

Why? Because this is the second straight game he did that, just so they wouldn't announce JG over the loud speaker.

Why use your head when you can just listen to coach speak and assume it's all straight facts?
