Maybe a Leader has Emerged?

[JazzMaster001]

I love Jennings and he's too good of a player to have gone through as much BS as he has while here, but I doubt this will make much of a difference. There's a lot of problems with our team and Jennings can't fix them all himself.

Once his playing days are over we should give Jennings every opportunity to coach for us. Players would love to play for a coach with his passion and attitude.

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

Gray is going to do the same for us. He's young, but he played his heart out Saturday!

I wouldn't be surprised if Eric Gray is the starting running back by the Vanderbilt game.

 

[Dudleys87]

How can you not like this guy?
How can you not put him in every play?
How can you not get him the ball as much as possible?
Can he play OL
Can he play DL
He can throw....

 

[orangerush]

The team/ program has no identity and it's been that way for years. At some point you need to know who you are to set the foundation. Hopefully the coaches and players can find an identity which would go a long way in getting it right.

Full interview.

Giddy Up!

 

[PEPPERJAX]

JJ was one of the few players that actually showed up and produced this past Saturday. Hope his attitude is contagious moving forward.

 

[McDad]

I suspected it would be him even before I opened the thread.

 

[MemphisVol77]

Play JJ two ways!

 

[The Tall Gguy]

Alright...one more chance...if they crap the bed again...

 

[JMSqb11]

Alright...one more chance...if they crap the bed again...

Aight

 

[JMSqb11]

I really hope a there is a camera crew and the sideline reporter is camped out behind our bench when Jennings is on the sideline....

 

[JoAllan]

I bet some guys are tripping on helmets today

 

[Pride85]

I'm tired of inspirational talk. Win a damn game.

Feel free to jump out there and win one for the gipper.

 

[VolsGrad1989]

That's among the least of this team's problems.

Yeah, because there are a ton of teams out there winning consistently without a QB who is a leader! WRONG!!!

 

[05_never_again]

Yeah, because there are a ton of teams out there winning consistently without a QB who is a leader! WRONG!!!

How many teams are winning consistently with their offensive and defensive lines getting blown off the ball non stop?

You can only really have a QB discussion (or a WR discussion, or an RB discussion, or a discussion about any other position) once you establish that you can control the LOS. Everything else is just details.

 

[clayton10]

Wish we could have 21 more of Jennings.

Or a entire roster!

 

[Pride85]

I love me some Jauan but until we have a leader at QB we are never going to execute properly on offense.

Would someone please give a fact based analysis on how the QB cost us the game! As bad as we played, we still still scored 30 points and had over 300 yards passing. We only had 93 yards rushing. I guess the QB is the cause for that. I guess the QB allowed the opposition to hold the ball for over 30 minutes of the game. I guess the QB gave up 213 yards rushing and 38 points. The entire team, coaches included, blew this game pathetically with a few exceptions, JJ being the most notable.

 

[njvols]

I think

JJ will always be one of my favorite Vols and I hope he's right about Saturday. We'll see if he can get the ball and be a factor. (this goes from here on out)

One of our issues has been spreading the ball around too randomly. JJ should get 8-10 targets per game along with TE.

 

[orangelo]

Now if he can just get JG to throw the ball to him when he’s open. He was open all freaking day. I know he had several catches but he should have had several more

 

[Vol49er]

Man I was just thinking today how Jennings didn’t deserve Saturday. The man never quits

 

[Cartervol]

Too bad he don't play QB..

 

[JMSqb11]

Too bad he don't play QB yet..

fyp

 

[YankeeVol]

Well unless he's switching to QB...

 

[Cartervol]

fyp

With what we're seeing may as well. I bet he could throw 5 yard passes all day. Probably runs much better also..
