it really makes no sense why he sucks so bad this year after being so good as a freshman

 

[volfanCLT]

Get it to the 4th quarter. Then players make plays.

For those bagging on Medley, the kid has more leg talent than anyone we had since Wilhoit. He is struggling this year but I understand why Butch is sticking with him.

Leg talent meaning length of his kicks? I'd call that power. Because he obviously doesn't have the leg talent to control his kicks. I'd take palardy 10/10 times.

Medley 9/16 on the year

It's cost us victories, and will continue to do so SMH

 

[JacketVol]

Hate CBS games.

However, maybe the long commercials will help us get some breathers as the game goes along. May be a benefit.

 

[C-town Vol]

I don't. Help me understand

Same reason everyone complained about Worley starting over Dobbs...Medley is talented...probably much more so than anyone else on our roster. Butch keeps hoping he will get it figured out.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

I still think we'd have been better off just tossing a Hail Mary. Their secondary is banged up and even with a good kicker, that's far from a gimme.

I think he was 9/16 heading into today and is now 9/18

 

[Jimmy Football]

Medley hits more uprights than anyone I've ever seen...

Buck Russell: Aaron, if the goal of the game was to hit the upright as many times as you could without the ball going through, you'd be a first round pick.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

its not just that he is missing but he is not even close on most kicks.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Just take a shot to the end zone next time.

I was screaming this at the TV. Did anybody think Medley would make that?

 

[C-town Vol]

Too bad Dobbs missed Malone. To win this game we are going to need to hit a throw down the field or a big special teams return.

cool but he is not making kicks. Doesnt matter how much talent and potential he has.

 

[volatil]

He is too close with his plant foot.

Love his coach but I changed Jr for a reason.

Circular motion equals inconsistencies.

New coach for Jr Shane Andrus trained Memphis kicker. Considered one of the best in the NCAA.

Foot should always point at goal post after contact. His is pointing left. Sweeping circular motion.

In other news Vandy is beating Mizzou 7-0 with 2 min before the half.

 

[ob79]

Palardy was really bad the first few years. He turned it around.

But shouldn't we expect to have a kicker come in and NOT take three years to be good?

Not trying to be an ass but, if that's the definition of success, count me out.

 

[C-town Vol]

Maybe their safeties will have a couple of busts in the 2nd half.

Hate it for the guy, but I agree. A FG there really has Bama shaking their heads going into the locker room.

He was trying to get it out quick. I can see how he missed it. Time preservation was the main thing on that drive.

 

[SpringBokVol]

Bama will score to open the 3rd. That is why missing those points hurt.

Okay fair enough. But at what point do you decide meh, he's not figuring it out.

Missouri is terrible this year. They lost a lot from last year and lost maybe their best player to an ACL tear earlier this season,

 

[The Breakerboy]

Man we are beating them straight up without busts. Time to put points on the board and end this thing. We are and look like the better team. Go Vols!!!!

Get Andrus in touch with Butch, stat.

Yeah he was thinking get it quick to the boundary. Sucks but I'm not going to kill him for that situation.
