Play calling sucks

[coolcat]

How can you be in 3rd and long all day and always throw the ball underneath the marker? Makes no sense at all! Guess it's time to put the blame where it belongs.
Just look at the play calling last year when Richmond was playing App St. in the playoffs, all they had to do was run out the clock and instead tried to run the ball, fumbled and lost the game with no time left. Clawson doesn't have a clue.

Clawson's got a clue. The scheme makes sense. We don't have the players to put it to use.

isn't that what you do when you run the clock out?

but you clearly said your walk-on friend said Clawson wasn't calling plays so what does it matter if his scheme works?

Fulmer took over in the 2nd half against ***LA.

 

[vol_in_ar]

Clawson's out of his league...
we won't even reach our pathetic average of 18 points a game

same song, different verse.....


worst playcalling, offense and defense, in the nation. end around while down by 10. super conservative defense, laying back all game. dear lord please take this staff away. any way possible.

 

[vol_in_ar]

at least get a FG
it'll cover the spread

 

[Lexvol]

Can't run the football, and the head coach is an old offensive lineman.......

Cut had almost the exact same talent last year, and the offense was much much better....the problem's not Crompton anymore...it's Clawson.

It doesn't matter who's calling the plays, we are not executing them when they get called this year.

Clawson is in over his head. Maybe he will be good because he is smart. But, this is Tennessee, not on the job training. If he is not calling his own plays then it is still his fault because he doesn't have the balls to stand up to Fulmer. Right now, the WHOLE staff is a problem.

I liked the end around call. It just so happened we ran it right into a corner blitz. We need to get Gerald Jones the ball more than we do. He's our only dynamic playmaker.

And Richmond did?

I wasn't too disappointed with the play calling especially taking the deep shots downfield.

The fact that we actually connected on 2 of them the last two games, makes them look alot better

Greg adkins should turn in his resignation tonight. This line is pitiful.

Agreed - worst O Line in UT History

The 2002 version wasn't any better.

How is it Clawson's fault that we ran for a whopping total of 1 yard today?

 

[BigPapaVol]

And Richmond did?

relative to their competition? Sure they did.

What personnel do we need that we don't have?

Calling those sweeps over and over wasn't exactly a smart move.

Poor leadership reflects poor performance, I hear all the time that it is up to the players to excute. I believe that you have to put some of the blame on the players. (ie O-line, QB's and Wr's) but how many times is this going to be an excuse. Something is wrong with Vol football. :banghead2:

You must be a big fan of "toss sweeps".
