Status of the wounded for defense?

And if we look past Kentucky we will likely get beat by Kentucky.

I can promise you the players and coaches re not looking past Kentucky.
as for us fans, we can look past them all we want. I’m not playing. I’m totally looking past them and always will. I’m not going to respect team I’ve seen us lose to 4 times in my 40 plus years of living on this earth

Need Hadden back. I like slaughter on the other end
Dee Williams needs to be given some time

slaughter is at safety, he will not be opposite of Hadden

Charles is gonna be a game time decision it sounds like. No idea about Mitchell.

 

[orangemadam]

Asked this in another thread, any info on Jeremy Banks?

Didn't see him on the field Sat. No news on him. What's going on with him, anyone know?

I swear, it seems like Mitchell is a ghost. I just can't remember anything meaningful in his play, what little time it seems he's played. I've seen a bunch out of Beasley. I mean, is he hurt?

I thought Banks played ?

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

He was scared for his safety. That makes it ok. Plus, the intruder had no business being on the field. I mean in the apartment.

Applying the Saban rule sounds good to me.

Yep. From this point forward, we are the hunted. We'll get everyone's best shot much like Bama and UGA do. Can we handle success and remain focused and sharp or will all the hype and praise go to the teams collective heads? We're having a great season so far, but we're not talented enough to just show up and beat teams in this conference except maybe Vandy. This staff has pushed all the right buttons so far. If they can keep this team on point, it would be one of the best coaching jobs I think I've ever witnessed....and I go back to '65 for my first game.

McCollough will most likely not play til the legal issues resolved. He hasn’t seen McCollough on campus, but rumor (and may be just a rumor) is there he injured his hand when he punched the guy. Anyway, I would assume the DA would have to dismiss charges or both parties agree to misdemeanor.

Pretty sure he did injure his hand. I think there was a photo of McCollough’s bloody bandaged hand in the police report, as well as a photo of the other guy showing his missing teeth. It was posted here somewhere a couple of weeks ago.

Along with the previous question, what are we going to do to stop Georgia from Blitzing on every play on our offense? Last year we did not do much to counter the blitz, so they kept coming! Screen pass or modified draw play?

OL has been excellent picking up blitzes this year

I’m sure he did injure his hand but that isn’t why he’s not playing, purely due to the pending charges now. His hand could’ve maybe kept him out a game, but I doubt it.

I agree with you, the hand isn’t why he’s not playing. I mentioned it to make known that if he does somehow play he probably won’t be 100%. It is possible to play with a casted hand. Although it would probably be a little easier for a lineman, more so than a safety.

The game from last year really has no bearing on this year. But, that is something that will be addressed next week while they prepare for UGA. I doubt the team is thinking about Sunday, little less next week's opponent.

130th in pass defense. 103rd in total defense. We need help in a hurry.

Unfortunately, the rb’s are responsible to pick up many of the blitzes. After starting the year suspect in that they’ve improved as of late

I can only remember one miss. Wright and Small have been solid.

Last year's O-line wasn't as good or had the cohesiveness as this year's.

 

[GoVols1961]

He was on the field in the first quarter at least. He was in the picture when Wright got the interception.

Why? UK is not that good.

Better than Pitt or Florida...probably the second-best team we've played this year. We're better but we better come to play.

possibly 3rd best...but they're not better than LSU or Bama

Yeah, why would you play a guy with a broken hand when the guy that is taking his place is a better tackler and is more athletic. This is coming from Price, not me.

Our safety had more reason be scared for HIS safety than the Elephant who hits women

They are good, but they do not match up well with us. Their coach aint gonna go for it six times like Napier did. They are last in the league in yards per rush; while we are 8th in the nation defending the rush. They have given up 20 sacks this year, while we rush the passer pretty well. Not to mention they can't beat us scoring 24 or so points like they normally do.
