One other thing: if you can't trust guys to provide depth, then it sounds like you are saying you don't trust you and your defensive staff's coaching to have them ready. That statement concerns me.

These guys that logged that many snaps Monday need to get pulled very early Saturday. Fatigue injuries are real, and we don't need any of them. Let them rest for Florida. Our 2s should be able to handle IS handily.

Also, what good are those players you trust if they are so fatigued that they can't perform any where near full strength? Wouldn't someone who is fresh be better off?

Exactly, which is why I said they should have played Johnson and Picou more earlier in the game. Our DT were essentially just occupying space 3 yards off the LOS from about midway through the 2nd quarter on.

Same bs excuses warrior and butuli didn't play last year. If the D sucks why on earth does trust matter. Nothing to lose by playing others

Picou did play earlier...I think I saw him around the 4th or 5th series.

I have about 5 families coming in from Florida tomorrow. It'll be a busy week but I think football will he's great distraction. any ideas for mass feeding via grill that's different from dogs and burgers?

Pizza. Not kidding. Get a bunch of pre-made dough from the grocery store and favorite ingredients. You'll need a pizza stone and will need to get your grill up above 500 degrees. Your guests can have fun building pizzas and each will take less than 10 minutes to cook.

Now, this is very interesting. There was a post from a GT poster saying they didn't run the triple option all night. They ran it first 2 series, got stuffed, and had another plan that we may have not seen any film of.

Florida also uses a trash can

I think that is just where they keep their offense.

The word "risk" also carries some of the same connotations as the word "possibility." In fact, if you look in a thesaurus (it's like a dictionary, but it gives you synonyms [that means two words that mean the same thing, like big and large, for example] and antonyms [that means two words that mean the opposite thing, like big and little, for example] along with definitions), you'll probably even see the two listed as synonymous!

So, to correct your post, one might say there are al types of risks involved with message boards! Like the risk of not fully comprehending someone's post and making an ill thought-out reply, or the risk of accidentally liking one of D4H's posts and never being able to take it back. The possibilities are endless!

I think there's some nuance to this. You can be a fan of a team and think they perform poorly. Stating facts doesn't mean no loyalty.

I don't like publicly bashing players because they are unpaid and trying their best. Coaches should be fair game. I think Warrior is reacting to the newest VolPoll.

I don't personally think there's much wrong with most of what you listed and I agree with it. Discussing the positives and negatives is fine with me. A fan saying Im done or I don't support the team because of losses is what I'm talking about with loyalty.

Reading too much into it. They planned to play more per Shoop interview. In heat Of battle and trailing it causes you to change original plan. Who did you want in there that wasn't vs a team like Ga Tech that isn't a traditional offense?

they played quite a few guys just didn't divide up the number of snaps they way it was intended.

Easier to play guys vs cupcakes to earn that trust but now that so many teams have a toUgh game 1 it's hard to come out the gate and just trust a guy with zero snaps in his career to step up vs that offense

I saw him in there, just not enough.

It is more of trusting only a handful of players versus a very unique offense in a tight spot than trusting them in general. Being in the wrong spot against GTech leads to either a huge gain or an injury. If we had a similar game versus a more conventional opponent there would have been much more rotation of players.

But we had the entire off season to prepare tho

Yea but #wedidntlearn

 

[drvenner]

The trash can thing is dumb and by that, I mean the outcry about it.

I agree. Having said that, I hope we see it a lot on broadcasts because that means we are getting turnovers.

For an offense we saw for two series tho

Definitely easier as fans for us to dissect it after the game. I hope I'm not coming across as overly critical because I don't intend to. I'm just discussing concerns that I have. Overall I'm thrilled with a hard fought and well earned victory.

A lot of people don't realize how hard coaching really is. A lot of decisions have to be made in a short amount of time, in the heat of battle.

yep and i hope they keep doing it just to ruffle all the feathers. Since everyone seems to be so obsessed with what theyre doing.

 

[JCLawyerVol]

Why is everybody concerned about what we do on the sideline to motivate our players? If they want to slam avocados in a blender and make guacamole after each TO I couldn't care less. As long as it motivates the players and encourages them to play hard it matters not. If the rest of the sports world wants to focus on that then good. They won't see it when Bituli and Taylor are in their backfield putting their QB on the ground while Warrior is taking the pick six to the checkerboards!

Laughed out loud in Chick-fil-A at guacamole. 😂

 

[MockingVol]

If we spent the entire offseason preparing only for GTech this season would be a complete waste. That would be dumb and coaching malpractice.

During the season you have a few days to install game plans. For the first game you have a couple of weeks, but that still isn't enough to prepare for an offense that you literally never see.

Edit: And it is even harder to prepare, when what you game planned for gets thrown out after the first two series.

It has been deleted. What did it say?

VolNation Football Forum posters have a penis the size of a goldfish or something along those lines. I can't remember exactly. I have the memory of a tuna.

vol fans


" i just want to win"......Then the Vols win

So Vol fans be like ....."FAHHHRR EM' ALL. We didnt win by enough"

And I like what Shoop said about that. Admitted they probably should have rotated more but it's hard to pull your best guys out of the game sometimes. So you wind up asking too much of them.

I also like that he said give it a few more games before you try to judge what kind of defense we have.
