I really wish people would stop bringing up all the transfers that left etc. everybody knows TN is like a “dirty gash” for players leaving to go to another school. It’s not CJH’s fault all of those kids transferred. Get over it. They are gone. It is what it is. Tennessee still has to field a team regardless. Yes. CJH inherited a terrible situation (at best, no other way to describe it). Tennessee isn’t very good. Plain and simple, although we as fans should support the remaining players as most seem to give there all for Tennessee. That’s all we can ask for at this point in time. The kids are playing there hearts out. I noticed this against Pitt. I was actually impressed with the effort. Hadn’t seen that in a long time, and I thought it was a welcomed sight. Shades of the past sorta for me anyway. Now as far as JM or HH. I will try my very best to support whoever CJH sends out. Although I believe HB is by far the best passer on the team. Just my opinion. Take it or leave it. The dual threat QB I understand CJH wants a mobile QB. It adds another threat that’s basically undefendable. Granted though, and just keep reading before y’all crucify me. If the defense is forced to respect the QB’s arm and has a legitimate shot at connecting on the pass plays over 20 yards (like 65% completion, I know that’s a stretch, our QB’s are 0 for forever here, so they are basically no threat at all) the QB doesn’t have to be near as much of a running threat, and the defense is forced to change there approach, and the QB health is in most instances guaranteed to last a little longer. Just my take. This team has issues from the O-line on down on the offense. The D I’ve actually thought has played pretty well. Special teams too. I’ve been pleasantly surprised with those 2 units. If JM is the guy, he’s going to have to learn how to pass the ball with touch, know when he has to zip it, and know when he has to throttle it back for his guy, and know when to just simply put some air under it and let his guy make a play on the ball. HH is similar I think, although he doesn’t seem to have the cannon like JM does. That cannon arm is 100% useless when u continuously miss your guys by 10 yards overthrown or over there heads, or it’s bounced off there pads because he threw it 100mph when they were 3 yards apart. Just my take. That’s how I feel based on what little football I’ve got to watch this year. Maybe it’s not a fair assessment, but based on live game reps, that’s what I’ve personally seen. Granted, I’m not a coach, but I have a little more than basic knowledge of the game. Having said all this. I hope we donkey stomp the gators Saturday. My heart says go vols, my brain says it’s gonna be a long day for the boys in orange/white. What the hell. Go vols!!!!!!!!
