Yes, it's clear that it's unfair to consider Tennessee's injuries when attempting to make a comparison between our roster and others. But, you're right, it makes perfect sense to pretend players that either aren't on the team or are hurt for the rest of the year just aren't contributing like they should.

Jesus, you should really try harder.

Injuries are a part of this extremely violent game and therefore they should have be anticipated and prepared for.

It is clear this staff was not in any way prepared for injuries of these types, which is poor planning and is unacceptable at this level of college football.

Obviously the injuries suffered were significant, however, IMO they should not have hampered the team enough to excuse the quality of play that we have been subjected to over the past several weeks.

I see your memory is approximately 3 quarters long... the true freshman that ran the system only ran it for a little over 3 quarters over the past 12 quarters that we have been abysmal and have shown a significant step back with our offense. The other 9 or so quarters was led by a senior who was at one time the guy Dooley picked over a year ago to run his system. Clearly Simms has regressed and that is mainly on the coaches.

Also, let’s not forget we were not very good WITH Bray playing in the UGA game. This downward trend started way before Bray was injured…

Simms wasn't recruited by Dooley. Good job of making up pure garbage to support your fallacies.

More complete garbage. There isn't a staff in the country that could lose their best two offensive players, their quarterback and receiver, and then have to dismiss their all-american safety, and just continue on without missing a beat. It doesn't happen with any program in the country, especially one that had little depth or experience prior to the injuries. There isn't a staff in the country that will beat Alabama and LSU with our current roster. In fact, they didn't beat us much worse than they beat any other team.

When did I say Dooley recruited Simms? You are aware that Dooley "picked" Simms over Bray to run his system at the beginning of last year, right?

reading helps.

At the beginning of last year when Bray was a freshman, and not yet ready. Intelligence helps.

You do realize that bray threw a pick his first throw against ut martin right? Bray hasn't ready to start at the beginning of the year. Simms handled the hard part till bray was ready

Seriously man, all this logic and making sense stuff is too much for them to comprehend.

They (fade route, OP, and UT#1fan) obviously don't watch football and know about as much as my 5 year old niece about the game.

How genius? See this is what I am talking about, a miserable jackass just throws stupid statements out there with no answer, and with no taking into account the players on the team, practice time, learning curve, experienced quality SR examples or anything else that would justify his nonsense. I am really starting to hate this crap.

I did not expect this team to continue on without missing a beat after these injuries. I attempted to imply this with the statement below (per my previous post)

Obviously the injuries suffered were significant, however, IMO they should not have hampered the team enough to excuse the quality of play that we have been subjected to over the past several weeks.

What I did expect is some sort of adaption to the new conditions and an ability to be somewhat inventive with the players you do have. This has not happened and sadly the injuries have become a very convenient excuse. (excuse for the fans, not the coaches, i don't think they have used the injuries as an excuse, just wanted to be clear on that)

They're trying to adapt. Have you seen the changes to the lineups in the last few weeks? Dooley's pressing every button he can see, hoping that something works for this team against all odds. He moved his Bullard to center, Stone to guard and then out of the starting lineup. He put Malik Jackson on the end when Jacques wasn't getting it done. Maurice Couch is in. Teague is out, Waggner moved to corner, Randolph is in. He started a true freshman at quarterback on the gamble that an unknown might turn out to be better than awful.

It's blatantly obvious that he's trying everything he can think of, but he just doesn't have the personnel or the depth right now.

I fail to see why you think Jackson, Hunter and Bray are so easily replaceable. They aren't.

Dude you need to get over yourself.. Have you looked at our 2 deep.... forget about a 3 deep roster because it doesn't exist. You can't prepare for injury with this team because there isn't a player backing up the 1's that's capable of suiting up and getting it done. I mean we are down to playing the waterboy and the not so "funny" male cheerleaders at this point..

It reminds me of one of my highschool teams.. We dressed about 65, but in reality there was only about 15 of us saw the field. The rest of them were just window dressing.

Anyone can formulate their own hypothesis.. You can put a dress on a pig and call it a chic, but at the end of the day it's just a pig in a dress.... Unless of course you're in Alabama then it could very well be your sister, cousin, mother, girlfriend or wife!

It is obvious that they are tweaking that facet of the game, the line up that is... however I do not see that they have tweaked any bit of the in game management. For instance, the second pick Worley threw in the end zone against USCe... This was a near identical pick to the one Simms threw against LSU. They were both thrown to a receiver that was double covered. Neither Simms nor Worley have the experience to make that call or throw, therefore, WHY IS IT AN OPTION??? Especially considering the fact that it is well known that USCe's secondary is probably the best in the SEC and one of the best in the nation statistically speaking. This is just one instance where I feel this staff has put their players in poor positions. We have a really great tight end and we fail to use him. There appears to never be a check down back or slot receiver. I'll close with one other instance.... Palardy, aka, "the bust", kicking an onside kick at the start of the half? WTF? What happened the last time he tried that, I’ll save you the time, THE EXACT SAME THING. He kicked it out-of-bounds. I suppose I commend Dooley for attempting it but it was one of the calls that if it works he looks like a genius but if it doesn’t it really makes you wonder what he was thinking considering the outcome the last time he tried it.

Youth is not only about experience, it is about physical and mental maturity as well.

We have young players that need to grow and mature! Deal with it!

If you don't like it, send Fulmer and Kiffin a note!

Either support the team or get off this website!

Actually I don't know why everyone is so mad about Dooley's coaching and talking about all these losses. Were actually 8-0.

See I can make up numbers to prove a point too. Moving on.
