Pruitt: Jennings Capable Of Playing QB All The Time

[butchna]

The UNIVERSITY of Tennessee. Our head coach should be able to use proper English.

Bear Bryant was functionally illiterate after graduating from Alabama. I’d rather them win than conjugate. Dooley was a practicing lawyer...want him back?

 

[TJSVOLS]

Are you??

Nope, not even close. It is amazing how complicated college football has become.

 

[NEVolFan]

We should start JJ at QB against Kentucky to counter their WR at QB..I dunno why but the fact they are starting a WR at QB gives me flashbacks.Bad ones

Pay backs are hell... hope he can get some QB time for sure.

 

[cornjar]

If I'm coach I have jennings throwing multiple deep balls this week..try to keep the next 3 teams on their toes when hes in the game..

 

[82_VOL_83]

Wait but what about all the posters who called me stupid for thinking Jennings should be our #2 behind Maurer? Saying he had not practiced at QB since high school anyone thinking he could start was stupid.

I was on this Lane Train.

Agreed. I was being facetious in my comments. No way I could do what those coaches do.

 

[82_VOL_83]

He done gone went and done that qb position 'afore...aight.

Poser

 

[82_VOL_83]

Pruitt is really starting to grow on me. But I guess even a college education can’t get the country out of some people.

Why should it?

 

[82_VOL_83]

I don't know, only speculation on my part. I think he's meaning with practice, maybe not the "here and now?"

I think some people's sarcasm meters don't work anymore.

 

[82_VOL_83]

The fact that at this point in his career he hasn't "done gooder" with his English probably indicates he's all about substance, not image.

We would not want visa-versa! (some will say we've been there/done that)

But that single-mindedness might limit his head coaching career to being a "program rebuilder." As winning brings more national exposure to the head coach, universities and fan bases will care increasingly about the image of their now-winning program.

Ah, I see the VNism there.....

 

[vol1981]

Yea, I bet you are smart enough to do what he does every day.

And you think Pruitt is smart enough to do stuff outside football?

 

[82_VOL_83]

I'm sure he also wants to put it in the opposing defense's mind that he might actually throw it from the Wildcat every once in awhile.

I actually enjoy sitting on the coach and not being able to call the plays ahead of time for a change.

Poser

And?

 

[TJSVOLS]

Are you really being serious ? If so just how arrogant are you.And what STUFF are you talking about ?

 

[DC_Vol]

That done made me smile.

I seent what you did there.

 

[HARTUPM]

Kind of hard to believe he made it through college, even though it was Alabama.

He done majored in sports communa macations, aight.

 

[Lane Train 4]

I never called you stupid but the premise that he SHOULD start at QB and run the wildcat isn’t vindicated by Pruitt saying he “probably could play QB all the time”. As is after the last game, you think he should play over Shrout? I don’t. He’s a good change up in the offense and an emergency option with two unhealthy QB’s.

Define wildcat because what I saw was a quarterback running the spread offence.

First play was Wildcat. His throw was on a trick play.

 

[Lane Train 4]

No that was shotgun trips right. No other QB on the field other than Jennings so it was not a wildcat formation.

No chance of it being a pass...so it was the Wildcat. A QB doesn’t have to be on the field to run it...that’s the point.

No, the Wildcat features an unbalanced offensive line and looks to the defense like a sweep behind zone blocking. A player moves across the formation prior to the snap. However, once this player crosses the position of the running back who will receive the snap, the play develops unlike the sweep.

 

[lukeneyland]

I love how unrepentantly southern Pruitt is. Suites us well

 

[BBaseball]

So you’re saying Pruitt has low standards for QB’s???

I'm saying that Pruitt has a poor eye for talent. Let's hope that the assistant coaches are better and actually have a say in recruiting.

 

[BBaseball]

No, I didn't, that's why I said "I'm only speculating."

sorry... didn't know you were psychic.

You can do the wildcat out of any alignment. It’s the concept. Before we go back and forth on a topic neither one of us is going to budge on, are you going on record that JJ will go QB full time? Cuz we’ll disagree that our best WR is going to make that move.
