Skill position players are out of their mind if they choose to come to play 4 years of ball for this offense

Botch. Jones.

 

[St. JohnVolCactus]

Does anyone know for certain that Jones dictates the play of the offense? Debo is the "company man," right?

Seems like no matter who's coaching or the players we have, the last 10 years TN may look "Good" once or twice a year. The rest of the time its like being stung by bees or kicked in the nads.

Offense is SO one dimensional, as always. No passing game AT ALL. No creativity, and really no confidence in this team AT ALL. O line is probably THE WORSE IN COLLEGE FOOTBALL. THE WORSE!!!!!

Been worried to death since first game of year, cause if we continue to look like this, and we will, don't wanna see Fl, Georgia, Bama, A&M, cause it could get bad REAL QUICK.

That was a Dooley level half. Seriously looked just like his teams. I'm embarrassed right now. Would love to be a fly on the wall in that locker room.

2 dropped TDS or bad throws and no points on the drive. That's not on the coach

 

[Dooby15]

The concerning part is they have played this way the entire season except one half. It's not like today is some fluke. It's been this way.

This. There really shouldn't be an effort problem with this team.

 

[Atzar]

I'm not usually negative, but this game is almost a worst nightmare. You're in a close game against an inferior opponent because you can't get out of your own way. We've also had injuries to several key players, and I think it's sapped our energy.

Need to wake up.

Correct

I didn't say it was

Another injury is being reported...Osborne.

Of course

True, but this is the third straight game where the Vols have gotten in their own way and made real boneheaded mistakes. Players have to be ready, but the coaches play a role there too.

Hope halftime flips a switch.

Lol

Which two drops? The one wolf dropped, Malone snagged a TD on the next play.

 

[McGeesPub]

Nope. I've been pretty middle of the road on Butch. Nice try.

Hey, could have been someone else, I lose track. Just had you pegged as the type.

 

[ob79]

This is Butch Jones' offense.

 

[Catbone]

Injuries are devastating for the rest of the season, but it wouldn't matter anyway. This is not a well coached team

 

[LA Vol]

I think we need to follow Saban's lead and retain some consultants pronto. An objective analysis might help pinpoint what's causing some of the issues and figure out how to fix at least some of them before the season gets away from us. Three games in-- it's not a fluke. We have problems.

Bad throw. Malone wide open twice. No points on either drive

Unfortunately butch doesn't operate that way. It's his way or the highway and he's stubborn as hell about it. He hires by the "good ol boy system".

Ok cool.

 

[LA Vol]

This team will get exposed in SEC play. We're not close to being a championship caliber team right now.

Pretty sure we've already been exposed. The analysts have been ripping us since App St.

Wtf are you talking about? Of course injuries are going to matter, get outta here with that.

We haven't given them any reason to think otherwise. At least not yet.

 

[Catbone]

App State getting killed at home vs Miami makes us look even worse

 

[chavisut]

If poll started after week 3 we wouldn't even receive votes.
