Kudos to Cutcliffe...the Forgotten Improvment

[Liper]

This is sort of outside the current theme of threads, but I think we should be thankful that Cutcliffe is back in town.

Compared to what we looked like for most of this decade, our offense is significantly better. It's better particularly in the area of player execution (read, preparedness). Think of where we'd be right now with the old guard and a pathetic offense; we'd be staring 4-8 right square in the face.

Since there has been a lot of negativity of late (rightly or not), it seemed appropriate to applaud Cutty for bringing back some efficiency to our offense.

Hmmmm....whole offense??? Ainge absolutely.
Props to Trooper!:rock:

Yes, for what he has to work with, I think Cut is doing a good job.

Cut has always done well with QB's. Other than that...

You're fogetting (my post) how bad it can be without good preparation.

The timing, the routes, the lack of mistakes, the schemes, adjustments, protections...there is a lot that goes into this.

And without the improvement of Ainge, where would be? 4-8

I'm not forgetting anything but don't want to ruin your thread.

I think it is also worth mentioning that the VOLS started their hard luck streak right after DC left for ole miss. Everybody wants to blame Fulmer but DCs absence is pretty evident too.

i think randy sanders wasted some great talent in '05. imagine if we had cutty then. we had gerald riggs coming off a +1,000 yard season (arian foster as a freshman, cj fayton, chris hannon, and robert meachem at WR, a good line, a sophomore qb who broke peyton's freshman records, and another qb that was MVP of the cotton bowl. i think people forget about UT's great defense that year.

Chris Hannon? Cutcliffe? Randy Sanders wasted it?

OK lil buddy....

False starts have been almost non-existence since Cut came back. And execution has been much better... Overall our discipline has been very good... now if we could just get some stud d-linemen we'd have a pretty darn good team.
