Guarantano, last 3 games

[whobethis16]

Dormady cost us the florida game with his monumentally dumb decision to audible from run to pass when we were at the florida 1 yard line. Ultimately, Scott and Jones are responsible for giving a QB that kind of freedom--idiotic--but a lot of revisionist history going on here. We weren't exactly thriving with Dormady.

UT has become a team that if you can play more than 2 games without getting hurt, it is considered an accomplishment.

6 TDs vs 1. At least Dormady could put points on the board. That's kinda important to win ballgames.

Where is the stat that shows how many times he's been sacked because he can't feel pressure or holds the ball too long. Yeah, I know our o-line stinks. But about half of his sacks are on him. Last night he completely fails to recognize the blitz coming from his right, then completely misses the fact he's coming at him unblocked, holds the ball and gets sacked. It's like he has on blinders.

That is why you have a good QB coach to teach them things. Tenn has not had a QB coach since Cutcliff

:gone:

he just holds the ball too long. he needs coaching in the worst way. there is something he is missing. not sure if he will ever get it. i like mcbride better at this point.

A healthy QD eye believe this season would be different, even with a bad oline

Eye believe we all heard you the first time

Eye?

Same o-line? Seriously??. There are people I'd never even heard of getting reps now.

None of them have been blocking all year even TS is getting blown by. So the results are basically the same. Its been musical chairs OL all year but JG went in against UMass with same line and was terrible.
We do not have a SEC QB on this team. Haven't seen WM enough but what I've seen he is not a long term answer. I don't get some of these poster they are not willing to settle for a mediocre coach but will make all kinds of excuses for the QB's that are going to lead us to mediocre ville.

I hope who ever the new coach is ( Mullen ) goes to the pro style offense. That way we will get 5 star QBs and WRs back to UT. That way it will open things up for our RBs. And i think the OL will even be better.

Would actually love to see Mullen with JG and Martinez next year. Mullen’s offense has thrived off powerful QB’s, not quick ones. Obviously, there was a learning curve with 2 star qb’s in Tyler Russell and Dak and Fitzgerald. They really shined in their junior years. Would imagine a 4/5 star QB would be able to get things going right away.

Guys JG has been hurt his junior & senior year HS and now rs freshman year. I just think his small thin frame is to frail for football much less SEC football.

Thats not how it works sacks count against the total yards. When they are blitzed and scramble out of it and gain say 20 yards they don't say well we got take that off the total because he intended to throw the ball.
JG had 42 yard rushing one game but lost 46 for a total of -4.
I never seen in HS games but his averaged per carry was 2.7 so I assume he got sacked a lot in HS. He is what his stats say he is . he does not have the IT factor.

I’m aware that’s how it works, but why the hell would you subtract the results of pass play (sack) from the results of all your running plays? How the hell does that make any sense?

He was trying to throw the ball, wasn’t intending to run the ball.....do it the way the NFL does it imo, subtract sacks from passing totals....lines up much better, is much more logical and defines the effectiveness of your respective running and passing games.

For example, what if we’re lining up and having great success running the ball in a half, say 20 rushes for 150 yards, 7.5 yards per rush....our OL is opening holes, we’re gashing the defense, moving the ball at will on the ground. But, we take 7 sacks for -65 yards because pass blocking isn’t our OLs strength and/or our qb is holding the ball too long. All of a sudden, our rushing stats show 20 rushes for 85 yards....how is that a fair representation of our running game?....especially when it’s the passing game failures that are skewing our rushing results. Makes no sense.

Also, all I was doing by showing Jarrett’s actual rushing totals was to prove that he’s not a statue who cant run. Is he hesitant? Yes. Is he indecisive oftentimes in the pocket? Yes. But when he does run, he’s being fairly effective at nearly 4.5 yards per carry. He’s no Joshua Dobbs running, but he’s also no Casey Clausen.

To me, it’s as Hoke said today in his presser....a big development item for JG is for him to be better at timing passes, and to be better at trusting that his WRs will be where they’re supposed to be.....which tells me that his WRs are rarely where they’re supposed to be so he doesn’t trust them.

Experience and good qb and wr coaching will make JG and our passing game look light years better imo.


Edit: BTW, Ainge just on the radio saying “Jarrett is only missing the coaching of the knowledge of the game, has everything else, every other quality to be a great quarterback”.

He had a sprained ankle after getting his ankle rolled on. Otherwise, kid has been tough as nails. He badly needs to put 15-20 pounds of muscle on over the offseason however, no doubt about that.

Dormady trusted his receivers would run the right routes and be where they were supposed to be. Look what that got him.

The double standard is amazing. JG can't trust the receivers and holds the ball so long he gets sacked and Dormady trusted his receivers and threw to where they were supposed to be and got intercepted or an incompletion. JG gets a pass while Dormady got roasted.
