He is very angry at how the team finished the game in the second half.

Watching poole being run down from behind is a reminder that he is not elite fast as an rb.

Art Evans missed what should have been an int later but his strip for the fumble was good.

Lincoln looked lots better than last year.
He said "oregon waits for you to make mistakes and we did.".

"We could not sustain the run game without some long throws."

He showed methodically how losing assignments is what hurt us well before missed tackles.
"It was a downer to be tied and it is because we played badly the last 3 minutes of the half."

Kesling and dooley did not discuss the drop by rogers but when dooley during the game saw the wr who is a physically more gifted reminder of himself at UVA he was furious.

That drop was a pivotal part of the game.

He talked about Poole overcoming adversity. Our whole team faces adversity now and we will see how they respond next Saturday...like Kansas did to an embarassing loss or like Virginia Tech did...

He complimented their punter and kicker.

Zack redeemed himself and Dooley complimented that play early in the 3rd. You can tell publically he wants to build him up.

Blount's run play he has no excuse for. They missed a tackle that's it.

Responding drive they missed a wide open stocker, but rogers caught a huge ball again.

On the pick six there was a missed assignment in protection. He should have taken a sack. After the pick six it was over.

Derek said "going into the 4th down 14 we could not play through adversity. Our depth showed and we were worn out but also played without effort. You can score twice with 5 minutes left, but after we were down 14 we played in a way that was unacceptable."

"Discipline is the exertion of willpower over more basic desires. You have to work on it every day. We also need depth and will play more players to avoid fatigue in the 4th."

"Time to erase what has happened so far. We have a heck of a team coming to Neyland Saturday."


He did not make excuses and he did not think Saturday was acceptable. Watching his show was encouraging to me. He knows what they need to do to succeed and he will not rest until it is done. There is not a fan in this world who hurts more when we lose than this coaching staff.

You'd think he would have been furious with the play of Justin Hunter, especially considering his lack of testicles.

good summary I seen the show myself CDD will get it turned around. I was very impressed with what I seen the first half second was a let down but that's were we are with talent and depth its not his fault.

He is more Richt than Spurrier. He does not publically call his players out when they fail. Their position coaches will show them what they are doing wrong.

Rogers and Hunter both made good and bad plays. At his peak, rogers can be reliable on comeback routes to pick up first downs. At his peak, hunter can dominate almost any defense that plays him one on one and when he makes guys miss he can score 6 points. That is why it is frustrating to watch someone stop him with chicken fighting...

I'd hate to be a player in practice this week. I think that fourth quarter will burn in Dooley's mind all week.

Dooley won me over and im behind him 100 percent. in another thread i said that a man that cares that much and put himself into it that much will never fail. i think he will not rest untill he covers every angle and fine tunes anything that needs to be fixed. he is going to get us turned around... we have great young talent. id say 2 more classes and we are back in it. when these guys are juniors and seniors...things are gonna be scary..i feel alot better about the future after seeing them come out and physically dominate oregon for the first half. depth was our downfail and we all know it.

I wasn't aware that Blount played for Oregon anymore...

Personally I was glad to see a coach that actually got in somebody's butt when they messed up. By the time Fulmer left the players were running the team and he was just an old man that got in the way.

I like to watch the coach's show, but it always seems like, it's the coach showing the team he has their back and trying build up their confidence and putting a postive spin on the game. Which is what he should do. But it does seem to be repetitive.

Did anyone notice his comment about rotating players? It sounds to me like he wants to have more rotation on D. That means getting more freshmen in throughout the game. Why not? We might as well get as many players on the field and keep people fresh. I like his thought process. :good!:

Tough to rotate with Oregon constantly at the line of scrimmage. A better team made adjustments at the half and we became despondent. I was proud of the early effort. We will get better. A blow out by Florida and I will be ready for Bray to take us into the future. Win or Lose. For some I reason I didn't throw up over this loss like I did UCLA last year. Slept well Sat. night. I'm liking Dooley as our Coach.

he doesn't, its the OP thinking he knows what he's talking about. btw it wasn't art evans who made the strip, it was P. Waggner. You'd think someone who watched this game 3 times would know better than make mistakes like that.

Poole is does not have burner speed... he also didn't get run down from behind vs Oregon. He did just fine getting big gains and getting to the corner faster than an Oregon D that prides itself on speed.

I like Oku. Oku is definitely faster... but how did he fair?

Exactly how any rational human being could take a shot at anything Poole did Saturday is completely beyond me. SGM, Volwarrior33, and several others have run the kid down mercilessly and dismissed him as a practice player with a fumble problem. He did to a very good Oregon D what he's been doing to Vol D's in practice for 3 years now. The guy can play.

Art Evans missed what should have been an int later but his strip for the fumble was good.

That was a very big point in the game. That play has to be made.
"We could not sustain the run game without some long throws."

He is probably right and is trying to establish an identity. Fulmer would have just continued to "pound the rock". DD is stubborn enough to say "We're not going to become predictable and you AREN'T going to load up on our run game without getting burned".

The execution will come. I like the idea.

So you would rather jump a bunch of kids arses who are 18-21 about mistakes they made?

Do you not think they know what they've down and want to fix it as much as he does?

I'm ok with the Coach speaking generally when talking about our difficulties and speaking specific about our triumphs... At least he knows where we are lacking, instead of golf clapping and saying, "We will watch the film..."
