Did expect more out of the defense.

Simply put, our DL can't get no pressure. Their OL has dominated

 

[Chief Vol 13]

I think you keep gashing then with the run. They can't stop it

 

[SweetasSoda]

Did you think we were going to be world beaters this year? I am encouraged that we are running the ball and that JG is playing really good and passing the ball well.

I know I'm new to posting, but us it okay if I tell some of these posters to "grow up"?

 

[WriterVol]

heard that since 2008

It's true until it's not.

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Bad play calling

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

We have a lot farther to go on defense than I hoped we would. Hope JJ can rush the passer cause we have no one else

 

[omghulkhands]

You guys really losing all your warm fuzzies you had for this season already?

Bad play calling

Perfect play call on 3rd

Fickle crowd.

 

[Vols4us]

J-Johnson is a good one on the O-line.

No more throws to the TE. Why?

 

[The Dog]

I'm so disappointed. I thought our OL would be better and our defense would be a lot better. I just can't believe we can't get more pressure

 

[VEKZY]

Why are we running the ball on 1st and 2nd down when we are down ~20 in the 4th?

 

[tomq_123]

Bad play calling

Good play against the blitz, just poor execution.

 

[jjay2518]

Will we face a better QB than Grier this year? No. Will we face a better WR than stills this year? No. This is probably the best offense outside of maybe Alabama that we will face this year.

Are they the best OL we're going to face too, because the DL is getting zero push and the LBs are sticking to blocks.

I am disappointed also in the lack of pressure from DL and the lack of big game play's by our LB's. And don't get me started about Warrior. geeez

Not I. Penciled this one in as a loss, I’m at 6-6 still

I think that’s a cop out. That’s the go to excuse when we get beat. Let’s be honest, WV is just better. Everyone is over reacting. Seriously, this is game one of a new coach after a 4-8 season. This is part of it, there is no quick fix.

 

[VEKZY]

I would list all the things I'm disappointed in, but it is easier to just list the things I like:
- WRs
- RBs
- QB
- Punter
- TE?

 

[HankHill]

Grier is good but we're making him look better than he is. When he faces a quality D he'll come back to earth. Also, a lot of Grier's passes have also been quick throws where you were never going to pressure him. We have been out coached throughout this game on both sides of the ball which is to be expected when you have a first year head coach in his first game. When you roll the dice on coaches, this is what you get.

How have we been out coached? Warriors js in perfect position on a TD. Abernathy misses a TAckle that leads to a TD, we get beat on a slant in press coverage for a big game. We are having to bring extra players everytime because god forbid our edge players even get in the back field. Once again Johnson is the one to create pressure in the middle.

I have loved our offensive game plan. We have moved the ball a lot. Ran the ball well, been balanced etc.

 

[The Dog]

Yeah, agree

 

[pharmvol10]

Gotta credit the last staff, Jordan was a nice find

They could find RBs, just didn’t know how to use them effectively.

Outside that one third down playcalling hasn’t been an issue.
