Praise J. Jennings

[Skullbone]

I think this is probably the worst play ever in history to use as an example on how we probably lost more due to bad assignment play. Come on

I see you haven't read the past 2 or 3 pages.

So.. it didn't break down, is what you're saying?

 

[photovol]

He kinda had to, considering the ball wasn’t gonna make it to Croom. He jumped up in front of the pile of pups and snatched it out of the air before they got a chance to knock it down. Absolutely the right move and let’s not forget that there’s not a perfect plan for a Hail Mary.

Juan was jus trying to avoid stepping into the dawg pile

 

[ducej11]

Seriously? You are offended. bahahahah:thud:

Never said I was offended. All I was saying was I don't like when players go rogue and decide to do their own thing on the field. I'm celebrating this as much as anyone did and I am glad he made the play.

 

[ducej11]

I'd be willing to bet that J.J. never intended to not do what he was supposed to do. I believe he saw the flight of the ball and went up and made a play. (If you look after he catches the ball Croom was behind him.) All J.J. did here was be an athlete and make a play for us.

I assume that was the case as well. The article seems to paint it a little differently.

Like another poster stated you should probably have used Abernathys being out of place in two games costing us those games as a better example of people not playing their assignment.

If he had failed to do what he did, we would have lost the game. The ball was under-thrown and would have never made it to where Chrome was located. He would have to have interfered with three Georgia players who were between him and where the ball came down.

 

[surrealvol]

A Hail Mary is a long pass and a prayer...whoever can get it should get it...every player on each team there where the ball came down was going to the ball as best they could and that is what happens when you have a cluster around the ball as it comes down...glad JJ was able to rise above the crowd!

 

[AllforTenn]

You are clearly completely missing the point. Carry on your laughing and keep complaining when they don't win because guys do whatever they feel like on the field. If players weren't conditioned to do their jobs on this play, I am sure it was happening on many other plays as well.

In this instance, I would hope that the coaches told him great job for making that catch and winning the game, but you need to do your job next time which wasn't to be the one jumping up to make the catch.

Do you consider the fact the ball was under thrown to reach Croom and his decision won the game? Of course you don't. :banghead2:

Interference is never called on an end of game Hail Mary if you're going for the ball. Possibly if you tackle someone, but it's a scrum if you're trying to make the catch.

 

[Crazy Ivan]

hahahahahahahaha *breathes* hahahahahahahaha...

Yeah he shoulda just let it sail. Winning is so selfish.

Everyone is missing his point. He is speculating that if this play was a microcosm of how players treated their responsibilities under Jones, then that could further demonstrate problems he had as a HC.

There are valid examples. This was “I know football and if you disagree with me...you don’t!” :lol:

It seems like it was designed to goto the back of the end zone but it didn't have enough flight to get back there so that's probably why croom was behind the defenders and Jennings who jumped in front got the ball. That's how it should have been set up to begin with.

Look your logic is too sound.... Darn engineers....

 

[greazy1722]

Jennings so overrated..2 good games his whole career and this fan base thinks he is the best thing since slice bread..

 

[Behr]

Lulz.

 

[butchna]

Sliced bread sucks! I rip off hunks to make my sammiches! :aggressive:

 

[KBVol]

agreed 55% is not that good when its mostly screens, shots to the flat and dump offs to the tight end. You'd expect at least 60% in that situation for a decent QB. I see your blue font or at least I hope thats what that was.

Yes, navy blue.

 

[RDU VOL#14]

The audacity for Jennings to high point a Hail Mary to beat UGA. What a dick.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Once the season is up and running, you gonna eat those words with sun dried mango slices, camel blood sausage, and chase it down with durian juice.

Classic little league baseball parent.

 

[IPleadInsanity]

Does he mean to say the hail mary was thrown to one individual? That sounds like Butch Jones. My recollection was all receivers go to the same point in the end zone and the QB throws it high, simple as that.

Umm....look friend I am not one to tell others how to live their lives. That being said, you might want to cut back on the solvent sniffing. The damage it causes is not only terrible it's permanent.

I think it was setup to have jennings to one side to make the defense think it was going to that side and then throw the ball to croom on the other side to trick them into not putting their best players into position. However croom was near the back of the end zone and dobbs pass never made it back there to begin with so if jennings wouldn't have went to the front of the endzone it would have been an interception.

 

[WoodsmanVol]

Salute? Fine. I'll anoint him when he makes it through the season without suspension, lives to his potential, and acts like he has some off-field sense.

Until then...:zeitung_lesen:

Self-righteous, signify and holier than thy much? I hope for the same thing you do. It's the SSH tone I hold a distaste for.
