HTV think about this for a second............okay that was too long.........................because you were under center and the O-line is young and can not keep the D-line out. You just got sacked which is the 14th tackle behind the line for a loss in this game.
Part of keeping JW back is to give him some time, precious time, to think, see the field, and possibly throw a pass. It is also to keep him healthier than he would be always lined up under center. Actually at OU, considering our level of experience vs OU's we did pretty well with the read option. We get the fumble call, -7 OU, Croom catches the pass (that JW NEEDED THE TIME TO MAKE) +7, no pick 6 then -7 OU AND +7 UT possibly. 3 plays and we are in a totally different ball game with the read option you are dogging so much. I think I saw on here we were within 7 yards of OU rushing. Not bad really with such a young line. So is the RO really that bad or do we just need to execute it a little better?

if he earns the starting spot,do you think CBJ and company still go with the read option offense ? or what ever it is called
i will admit that i want to see the QB under center and hand the ball off or a play action pass and some sweeps with a full back
nothing like having another blocker back there to keep Worley off the ground
every down ? no,there is a place for the I formation,I just wished they would use it some
UT has a pocket passer in Worley,right now,the read option isn't fooling anybody,so why run it ?
to me it is just slowing down the running backs down,from a small opportunity to hit a fast closing hole
and yes I do speak from my arm chair coaching spot
Go Vols :clapping:
For years a lot of people were saying Tennessee needs to change to the read option I bet a lot of those people are the same ones saying we need to switch back to a pro style.
I thought we was doing a read option now but our quarterback wont keep it
He kept it on that fumble play against Oklahoma. Of course he just stood there with it so I don't think that is ideal.
I think I'll forgive all his decision making for that game, though. I would have been on a gurney 5 minutes into that beating.
And when it came time to do it in a big game, he and Butch clinched up.
11td and 7picks...needs to tighten up a lil...the kid looks to be an absolute baller though if you watch his film. ive got high hopes for him. Hope Peterman balls out next year then this kid takes over. Redshirt would be great...so would early enrollment.
Hes as fast as peterman. spoke to ainge last summer and he straight line speed theyre almost dead even but peterman is just a more natural runner as far as being shifty and reading blocks. hope he keeps improving that and has a huge year in 2015.
Why set this kid up for failure? He and Jennings are solid qb prospects and no better than what has recently been brought on campus. They are not elite qb prospects in the mold of Shuler or manning or even clausen for that matter. It doesn't mean they will not be great qbs, but they are not can't miss guys. You guys act like he will walk in and from day one be a superstar.
Dobbs will redshirt baring a catastrophe, and will be our qb for the next three years.
Lastly, will you fellas stop saying we run the read option?!!!!!!!!!!! We run a zone read!!!!!!!! Get it right!:rock:
