Just run some 22 offense with 2 TEs and Moi in at FB

Lol orlovsky showing how abysmal our play calling was. 3 routes, all sluggo against soft coverage. That's the most creative we can be?

 

[rjd970]

I don’t mean it’s been one sided. But you can’t deny a dumb PI call is the only reason Bama has 7 points right now

They could have more but penalties have killed their drives.

At the end of the day the jersey was held, now wether something like that would have been called on Bama is certainly a question, but it was called fairly.

The bigger issue is why we don’t have more than 0. The offense is complete trash.

Thanks Heupel for a Sh*t O line, a RS freshman QB that wasn’t ready for SEC and setting his progress back to that of a true freshman that hasn’t played a snap

It’s quite literally on Nico today. The plays have been there.

 

[UTK]

This offense is not going to magically get better. It’s been 3.5 straight games at this point. They’re just ass. It is what it is.

The insane thing is, a lot of the stuff are things that could just get better with one good game. But they’re living in their own heads right now

 

[VEKZY]

How do we end up with every bust 5* QB

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

If we win this game, I can already see everyone saying “it’s okay Nico will learn” or some other ****

Kid is just cheeks. It is what it is. Hopefully Gmac or Faizon are the truth.

Now I don’t think Nico can’t be something special, but it’s very obvious he’s not anywhere near his potential.

 

[AllVol11717]

Gotta say the Nico redzone INT was an awful playcall as well.

Three separate slant n gos on a short field is not a high percentage playcall

 

[UTBuff37]

They made a good point at halftime. We are a running football team right now. We are not a passing team. We have no passing offense. We have to get that out of our heads right now. We need to get the running game executing and run off that.

Our defense is doing their part.

 

[rockytop25]

Man idk what y’all are seeing with the coaches…I saw 3 open deep balls that our QB overthrew. Hard to scheme up better than that. Our QB just isn’t very good

It’s been a bad $8M spent for sure. Probably would have been better spent on some OL.

 

[csprig9]

What’s more depressing is for 3 games now, the offense is regressing, not improving. Can’t Catch, Can’t throw it deep, now we can’t run the ball.

Gotta hit some of those deep throws to run the ball
Can’t run tempo if we keep over throwing balls or WRs drop them

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

I don’t mean it’s been one sided. But you can’t deny a dumb PI call is the only reason Bama has 7 points right now

And the spot on 4th & 1 potentially took points from us

 

[KPT_VFL]

No matter what the final score ends up.. our Defense is elite. They’re carrying.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Now I don’t think Nico can’t be something special, but it’s very obvious he’s not anywhere near his potential.

He’s been a 60% passer since his SOPH year in HS.

I’m going to calm my expectations

offense is obviously the main issue but competent refs it still would be 0-0 at half. That simple really

It goes back to coaching for not recognizing that and recruiting a transfer QB this season

 

[AllVol11717]

The insane thing is, a lot of the stuff are thin that could just get better with one good game. But they’re living in their own heads right now

How close they are while still consistently missing is really what makes watching this offense so painful

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Starting to worry that Heupel’s offense is more gimmick than genius.

Still comes down to execution, and we’re not doing that.

 

[GVol1966]

I’m guessing big, fast and strong isn’t a good system fit.

Hasn’t got the blocking scheme mastered yet,
Or same ole same ole excuses some give for our most talented players not playing

 

[TrippieRedd]

It’s been a bad $8M spent for sure. Probably would have been better spent on some OL.

60% passer in HS. I’m not surprised…now.

 

[rjd970]

And the spot on 4th & 1 potentially took points from us

Not likely. I haven’t seen a damn thing that would suggest we can actually move the ball downfield and end with points.

In fact probably better the defense stayed on the field, we have been a turnover machine so far.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Nico needs to start just take off the moment he starts to feel pressure. He’s trying so hard to force stuff when I noticed multiple times he could have taken off and at least turned a sack into a minimal gain or more if he can shake the QB spy. Maybe him making plays with his legs will wake up his arm and shake off the yips.

Might be difficult for this game with his back the way it is but still..

Hard to get the running game going when the other team is aware that you can’t pass lol

 

[gordonr24]

I don’t know. I’m angry at half, but I don’t have the same level of anger that I had last week.

We were supposed to beat Florida. Bama is the favorite.

I hate having this feeling of acceptance and indifference. Two years ago was so much fun.
