What was Simmons injury again?

 

[screenthis]

I don’t really buy this. It’s easy to say that after we lost arguably our 4 best offensive players out of 11 starters last year. We’ve had receivers open and we’ve had the opportunities for explosive plays. But drops and inaccurate passes mixed with very poor OL play isn’t exactly a recipe for success. I would need to see at least an entire season, if not two, of poor offensive play for me to say Heupel has been “figured out.”

Its clearly b.s. These guys just stir the pot for ratings and to fill airtime. Guaranteed last year's team would still be lighting it up.

The injury report from Beamer was mostly fake news. Jakai Moore was the only starter missing practice a few days ago, but he should be back. As you can see from their latest depth chart, all their starters are good to go.

#52 OT Jaylen Nichols is the only returning starter from last year who is supposedly out long-term.

LT	51	Babalade, Tree FR 6-5, 338	79	Hughes, Jaxon RS SR/TR 6-6, 297
LG	69	Gargiulo, Nick GR/TR 6-5, 327	72	Jones, Trai RS JR 6-2, 318
OC	53	Lee, Vershon RS JR 6-4, 319	57	Mains, Grayson RS FR 6-5, 296
RG	55	Moore, Jakai RS SR 6-6, 318	78	Baugh, Trovon FR 6-4, 337
RT	77	Fugar, Sidney RS SO/TR 6-5, 327	55	Moore, Jakai RS SR 6-6, 318
TE	1	Knox, Trey GR/TR 6-5, 237	6	Simon, Joshua GR/TR 6-4, 238

You may be right, but depth charts never are at this point in the season.

SEC Network is a sham, who gives a sh** what they say

Doering isn’t feeling us right now.

Doering is too much the coward to talk about the rigged officiating in the second half of our Florida game. He's not a serious person.

The only time to watch SECN is if the vols are playing on it and if you just want to watch a morning gameday show on Saturdays and hate College Gameday

UGA has shown the blueprint the past two years.

This UGA fan is not so sure. No defense can do everything all the time, though winning on the line gives a team the most advantages. But UGA still had to pick what routes to focus on and where to play man/zone. UGA focused on clogging the middle, spying Hooker, and forcing deep throws to the outside. Is that a blueprint? I don’t think so. Scheme is always dependent on personnel and matchups.

That is happy

Watch Elijah come back and totally dominate

That should be the name of most of the shows.

Whatever it was, it worked. UT scored 17 points in 2021 and 13 points against UGA last season.

Yeah and the blueprint is

1. Hope TN shoots themselves in the foot with at least 10 pre and post snap penalties

2. Hope whoever the QB is misses every opportunity to hit a deep ball

3. Have an NFL ready front 7 that dominates our offensive line so that the QB can't do anything.

Agreed. Last year’s team wins the SEC this year. Not a doubt in my mind. The league is down in 2023. This year’s team has a lot of flaws, which is why the offense hasn’t clicked. I won’t be worried about the offense long-term unless Nico steps on the field in 2024 and turns out to be a huge bust.

If you wanna call having a NFL defense as a blueprint, then yeah. That’s the blueprint lol

He can't be fired; he's considered a minority. It's like a professor having tenure.

That is ridiculous

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

Geoff Collins on SEC This Morning basically said that SEC coaches have figured out how to stop Heupel’s offense and what UF did is the blueprint.

I think it has more to do with our current talent but I guess we’re going to find out as the season progresses.

No one has figured out how to stop it. When your QB doesn’t hit his check downs that’s how you beat Tennessee.

We’ve had guys running open every game that never see the ball because Milton sticks to a receiver.

Next year the Pac-12 becomes the 2Pac, and now after 27 years a man has been arrested in the involvement of 2Pac’s murder.

Coincidence? I think not.

What was Simmons injury again?

Some type of leg/foot injury

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

UGA has shown the blueprint the past two years.

Yeah...it's called having the best defense in the league, and then having extra help from the officials letting your defense get away with tackling the Vols recievers all down the field...and then the Vols OL false starting over and over, and then having the Vols luckily miss every open big play they do get.

Good thing most programs don't have the best defense in the league...

Nobody outside of UGA and their officials has really stopped this offense...it is more accurately our offensive players stopping themselves.

If Milton wakes up and starts seeing and hitting the WRs running open all over the field, said WRs catching balls the hit them in the hands, and our OL stops crapping their britches in many diverse ways...we will start obliterating fools again.

If those things had happened at UF we would have destroyed them too.

Fair enough, though I think of a blueprint as a static solution. UGA has played good defense against Tennessee, but I’m not sure it’s doing one schematic thing. Players and schemes are always changing and evolving.

UGA has the players to make problems for lots of offenses, and good players make coaches look really clever—like having a LB who can cover a deep zone and free up a safety or a DL who can reliably hold up against a double team so another defender runs free. That’s not just a scheme anyone can draw up and run; it depends on the actual matchup between the players.

Has Elijah Simmons ever played football at Tennessee?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Mehupel? WTF!

You've missed a lot on here haven't you?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

You've missed a lot on here haven't you?

Just finished Return of the Jedi.

Has Elijah Simmons ever played football at Tennessee?

I think he played two games in the ‘89 season. Could be wrong.

Wrong in so many ways. If we had Hook and same offensive line as last season we average 45 to 50 points a game this year. Oline play has been awful in pass protection.
