The Overthrows (Game Film)

[Eastknox865]

What difference does that make? If they are open and our qb can deliver the ball we are golden.

Obviously something that Bailey isn't doing in practice has warranted him the 3rd string spot.

 

[All Hail Da Shine]

I'm still trying to understand why they keep throwing it deep. It's Milton's weakness. I understand you have to stretch the field and keep the defense on their heels but it's seemed like we threw deep every third play.

Design more mid range passes. He seems to do pretty good in those situations.
Also seems he needs more QB runs.

well because the receivers are running wide-open downfield..

And yet QB 1 can't hit them. But let him keep trying until the game is lost.

 

[UTwick]

So we combine them like three kids in a trench coat trying to buy beer?

Why not? If the QB situation doesn’t work out at least we have the beer.

 

[Godfatha]

Put Bailey in and be done with it. Milton or Hooker aren't good enough runners to beat SEC defenses on a consistent basis, and their passing leaves a lot to be desired (especially Milton). With Bailey, at least you have a QB who can get the ball to wide open receivers. We win that game Saturday if Bailey is playing.

The overthrows can be found here:

Second drive, score 7-0 TN:
1) Across the middle for first down
2) Payton for touchdown
*Punt

Third drive:
3) Calloway inside 10 yard line
4) Merrill for touchdown
5) Tillman for touchdown
6) Payton on free offsides play
**Field goal, 10-0, Pitt goes on to score next two drives and Vols get FG off Milton scramble, making score 14-13 Pitt

Of these six throws, four should be labeled as egregious. Not bashing Milton, just thought I would share the tape for those interested in re-watching.

Now share the horrible ball he threw to Hyatt.... but I guess he was at least close.

 

[Boca Vol]

I say we send Milton to Afghanistan so he can overthrow the Taliban.

 

[BigALWiLson]

I do agree if Milton could hit some of these at around a 45% mark he would be the starter. I just don't get how in the world he can sling it like that and be so horrible on a deep ball. He is like 1 for 50 in his career or something crazy like that. Just what I heard could be horrible data.

 

[SamRebel35]

To me, the free play is the most egregious. He knew he had a free play! Just put it up for grabs!

 

[All Hail Da Shine]

And yet QB 1 can't hit them. But let him keep trying until the game is lost.

I wish it weren't true.

7 footers generally aren't 3 PT shooters

Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Durant said hold their beers

 

[ClockworkOrange]

Huh?

I caught something about hitting broads and being pert. Lost me after that...

 

[hUTch2002]

His INTs are inflated because he didn't get thrown into games until we were already down several scores. I think both of those INTs were essentially desperation throws.

That’s quite an assumption to make.

 

[BigALWiLson]

That’s quite an assumption to make.

Regardless he turned it over less than Milton or Hooker have in thr two games they played here

So you take tiny samples of playing time and make wholesale changes off that? What about whatever coaches see in practice? What about 2 years of starting at VA Tech for Hooker? He has a career TD:INT of 3:1. I’m not saying he is THE answer. All I’m saying is all these people saying Bailey is have no idea. Citing games where we didn’t even 20 points as proof of something he accomplished isn’t reassuring and neither is cherry picking stats. Maybe Bailey is the best option. So far our coach, who based on his resume as a player and coach deserves the benefit of the doubt in evaluating QBs, doesn’t think so.

 

[DougVol]

Give me the guy that can't run but can make all the throws and doesn't turn it over. Easy.

Harrison can run just fine actually. I don’t feel we need Michael Vick in this offense.

 

[ru4real-really?]

Look guys I'm really at the point where I want to see Bailey. This is a 360 by me after two games. The problem is I don't believe the online can protect a guy that's not mobile.

I think the replay shows otherwise. Milton and Hooker had all kinds of time to make throws!

 

[USAFgolferVol]

Dirk Nowitzki and Kevin Durant said hold their beers

The operative phrase was "aren't usually". Thanks for playing

 

[mrmax86]

Question...let's say Milton can manage to fix his overthrowing issue (most likely a mental block)...he's our best QB, right? Because, our WRs are FAST.

 

[VOLINVONORE]

Did he ever get to a point where he could at least pert near get it in ?

Not in organized basketball. He was not a very good athlete, but to become one.

 

[TennesseeTarheel]

Miton needs to take a valium before gametime.

 

[Eastknox865]

Either way it's a reason the coach isn't playing Bailey so we all need to get over it

I think with a healthy Cooper, the OL will be fine. Problem is our depth sucks, and when a starter goes out, it's going to be very noticeable.

 

[Carp]

well because the receivers are running wide-open downfield..

For real. Everyone would be tearing their hair out if we constantly had wide open receivers and the QB was throwing underneath passes or 5 yard outs.

We should absolutely be taking these shots. Milton has just got to execute. If not, then Hooker/Bailey are well suited to take over.

Regardless he turned it over less than Milton or Hooker have in thr two games they played here

He had four turnovers in 68 pass attempts - 2 INTs and 2 fumbles, with another fumble saved by Darnell Wright. Bailey turned it over plenty and his primary passing skill seemed to be the checkdown to a wide open RB or TE. He also consistently held onto the ball too long and took 10 sacks in the last 3 games (that's a sack for every 4.5 pass attempts if you're counting at home).
