Which players are stepping up?

[govols/cc]

AJ is a beast of a LB who would start for any team in the country including BAMA. Not sure it's wise to bash the best player on the team.

I just know what I see. He gives up big play after big play.

How on earth has AJ stepped up? Playing hard & getting toasted? He's blown assignments, missed tackles, & is as slow as anybody on D.

so if you took AJ off the field does our D get better or worse?

I have to believe our 11 best are on the field & that's what's so sad.

We are all frustrated, but AJ makes up for a lot of people's mistakes. You take AJ off this defense and we will give up 10 plus more points a game. I've seen AJ go from one side of the field to the other to make a tackle Smith or Maggit didn't make...

I don't see it. I see him running in place, out of position, blowing assignments, missing tackles, etc. Go back & watch the UF & UGA games. Hell watch all of them.

no mention of AJ Johnson? O-line?

This Big Time. CP has been great but his route running needs big improvement. Neal has done better.

Zach Rogers. Hard to believe it but he is the most consistent receiver for us this year. I've always liked the kid. Puts his body on the line to make catches Hunter is scared to make.

James Stone....he has come a long way in the last year!

Don't pretend you weren't being snarky in your reply.

It's like if I said to you "Are you effing stupid?"

You get angry and I follow up with.

"Whoa, whoa, easy hoss, I didn't say you were stupid, I was just ASKING if you were stupid."

You're acting like an azz. Don't start threads if you can't tolerate a simple question.

Pittman was a huge upgrade for us. Hiestand was terrible here, and from the talk around town he didn't really like the UT tradition nor wanted to fight to make us better aka recruit. Pittman has made huge strides on getting this o-line to run block properly, and be able to properly snap the ball to the QB without line driving it into the ground.
