Yep..I'm up here tryin ta save drug addicts and ex coal miners. Tough crowd...lol. I actually love it here, at least I'm close to home now. It's cool that I can run down to knoxvegas and see my mom, brothers and sisters anytime, and catch a game at Neyland without driving 700 miles.

Bama doesn't ask WRs to do things they can't do. I watched us throw back shoulder to Josh Smith like he's that type of WR. Smith and Pearson eat on mid range routes. Malone(when focused) looks like a No.1 WR. How he can't stay focused all game I have no earthly idea. I do know I would bench him for the lack of effort on the 50/50 passes. I would bet money he would dominate after riding the pine.

I expect the lights to come on for Josh with the NFL around the corner. I'm setting myself up for disappointment, I know, but I'm expecting a Robert Meachem type JR Year

Somebody should really tell him that he's an absolute mismatch and physically too much to handle for most of the DB's he goes against. I hope you are right.

I just find it odd that people automatically blame the coaches. Got have consistency from the QB position for WRs to benefit. Not as cut and dry as a lot of people on here try to make it.

Malone is a super talent. Still middling in mediocrity.
Vonn Pearson is another with great talent and tools.
Josh smith is a great athlete who struggled for two years and finally playing good ball.
Pig was about as good as we've had as far as making plays, and he took himself away from the game

There has been enough talent on the roster. Just got to get the most out of them. And that means coaching them up AND putting them in positions to succeed


Von has exceptional feet, where were the digs and slants with him running away from defenders or underneath drags to take advantage of dropping linebackers and use his skill in space.

Again, there was and is talent at the WR position

So, you think it's more of an issue with Jones and DeBord?

Personally, I agree about Pearson. I thought he was the best on the roster, but again, how consistently was he healthy? Malone has the tools. Jury is still out until he produces.

I believe our offensive line inconsistent play is the main reason our passing game has struggled for the past 3 years. This year our o line is reloaded with skill and our passing game will flourish.... Hide and watch:)

I think when there are multiple guys not producing and elevating their talents there's a common denominator.
Every other position group has improved every year. One hasn't...
You've got to take a look at why that group isn't progressing.
I don't k ow where the disconnect is, but from head coach, to OC, to WR coach; there has to be some adjustments. It's been 3 years of below average production.

Our offensive line has been pretty terrible for those same 3 years. I really believe that is the root of the problem. We'll see this year. If wr still don't improve then I can buy your point

Offensive line was fine this year. Reggie Ragland said it the best O Line bama has faced this year because of its complexity.

It was fine in run blocking but still needs to improve in pass blocking. They improved a lot since 2014, but still werent great at it by any means.
