Sure why not

Crazier thongs have happened

I wear one every day.

I wear one every day.

You realize the string is supposed to go in back?

If we lose to Arkansas with two weeks to prepare and playing a team that hadn’t won a single SEC game in over 20 games until this year, then we should absolutely be debating when we stop the bleeding.

We are losing to Arkansas. I think people realize that whether they want to admit or not. They are tougher and better coached.

Challenge:

Name 1 player that has improved from last year on each side of the ball.

On the offensive side, I’d say Jamir, Eric Gray and Palmer.

On defense - I got no one.

 

[drvenner]

Lol! Are you serious? Our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd call should be to Hugh Freeze if he’s still at Liberty.

No. He's pond scum. Don't want him as my coach.

 

[BruinVol]

Three Dodgers made terrible plays. Taylor muffed it, Muncy's throw was not on line and Smith absolutely has to catch it. Has to.

Yep
that was a little league ending
fun to watch to say the least

 

[NMVol]

Pruitt’s quote on the young players may come back to bite him. Hopefully this bye week will allow some to get more reps and see significant action the rest of the season.

As much as people are praising JG yesterday he still had the lowest output of any qb vs Bama this year. Only Bennett had a worse total game.

There secondary is not good. My gosh our QB is just bad and I can’t believe some are still defending him, including our coach. Everyone else is making QB changes with freshmen QBs and we won’t even budge.

 

[vol4eva]

We’re awful on defense. Nobody on the DLine can get off a block. We have no LB outside of Toot and he struggles in coverage. And our DBs are consistently out of position and have terrible ball skills. I see almost no development on D.

An I have no confidence we beat Ark. Lose that one and the wheels come off.

@AppStVol

Congratulations. You just gave me my 50,000th like. You are awarded bonus karma points in life.

This is more or less where I am. Think the Arkansas game will be pretty close but I have no confidence we will win.

 

[HankHill]

JG couldn't run an offense like that. Right now, we are handicapped by the fact we only want to play JG.

I definitely think he could. He’s shown the ability to make a few plays with his legs. Shorten his reads. Quick throw. Help him formations and motion. We have the backs for it. Both can catch.

 

[BruinVol]

You have to admit that JG ran the plays called, ran them very well and those other QBs had a more aggressive play calling.

 

[HankHill]

I think we best Arkansas with Maurer at QB. He gives us a totally different dimension with his legs and willingness to run.

 

[volatil]

Once fulmer was in place a real search was done a very good candidate was hired. Maybe it works, maybe it doesn’t.

But to compare Pruitt to Dooley and butch is not fair imo

Neither Dooley or butch could get a coordinator job after being fired as a HC. It would take Pruitt about 15 minutes to land a DC job with a contending team.

I didn’t compare coaches. I compared searches. I still believe all were panic/rushed hires. We looked ridiculous during last search. The fiasco that played out with Curry was unreal.

 

[drvenner]

Palmer, Deandre Johnson

DJ was a no show yesterday.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Mullen always wanted the Florida job. Finances have been handicapped by COVID and would be even more so by all the buyouts. Phil wouldn't be able to get the cash if he admits HIS hire is a failure.

They would ask for further buy in from donors and try to float the bill. Luckily, Pruitt would go right back to Bama as DC, which would help the buyout. Although, knowing Bama, they would pay him $100,000 to screw us. But I don’t think anyone would give buy in unless we had our guy already on the line and it was a proven winner. I am not sure how you keep a coach if he only wins two games this year.

 

[Weezer]

Pruitt’s quote on the young players may come back to bite him. Hopefully this bye week will allow some to get more reps and see significant action the rest of the season.

Putting that quote in context, I think what Pruitt might have been trying to say is the lack of spring practice and a real camp has hindered the development of the younger players. They haven't had that time to show themselves and earn their way onto the field. Everything is in chaos this year due to COVID. I could be wrong, but that was my takeaway from it.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

DJ was a no show yesterday.

Harrison took a lot of snaps away from him. I liked what I saw from him. Quick and Explosive

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

We are losing to Arkansas. I think people realize that whether they want to admit or not. They are tougher and better coached.

If so, Pruitt is not the guy. I’m not sure he is anyways.

 

[Weezer]

I definitely think he could. He’s shown the ability to make a few plays with his legs. Shorten his reads. Quick throw. Help him formations and motion. We have the backs for it. Both can catch.

JG does not have the mental focus for it. One thing goes wrong and it's a domino effect. Add in his inability to read defenses, and make certain throws. He's not suited for the complexity of that system.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Random stat of the day.

 

[BruinVol]

I think we best Arkansas with Maurer at QB. He gives us a totally different dimension with his legs and willingness to run.

I think it’s fairly simple. Start JG and if the OL is protecting and JG gets off to a comfortable start and plays like Yesterday it’s his game and we win

If we can’t protect and JG has any struggles get the front runner out and go to plan B which maybe is Maurer

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

You have to admit that JG ran the plays called, ran them very well and those other QBs had a more aggressive play calling.

They have more aggressive play calling because the coaches trust them to not turn the ball over at a frantic pace.

Why would our donors suddenly change after the last 4 searches? I don't buy it.
