Technique vs. Discipline

[Jimmyandjoes]

Today's game is 2 teams with different deficiencies. Bama is plagued by a lack of discipline. Tennessee is plagued by a technique problems. Bama struggles to tackle, UT struggles to block in the passing game. Can UT fix those problems, allowing Nico time to get in rhythm, feel confident, and not see ghosts.
I'm not sure which one is easier to fix in a week but I believe if UT can get players in space, they can make some big plays with Bamas lack of tackling. If UT can't block on the edges, it's going to be a frustratingly long day on offense.

Both teams will come out and punch the other in the mouth. Which ever team absorbs that punch and not fold will win the game.

Tennessee is plagued by lack of discipline. Unless you believe technique is involved in dead ball fowls.

Bama getting two WRs back and us losing our LB captain puts us in a tough spot. Think we are going to need 30 points to win the game and I’m not sure we can get there from what we’ve been seeing. Definitely going to need some turnovers, short fields and a few gash plays to win.

But I will say that anything can happen with a juiced up Neyland crowd making things more difficult for Milroe

They definitely are plagued by discipline .I think those are correctable-easily. With Bama,they can't or don't like to tackle and are easily fooled by eye candy. I'm not sure that's easily correctable

Heard is lacking in both plus I question his actual physical ability.

Plays were there to be made last week as well. We need to execute when receivers are open

When it comes to the offensive line and specifically the tackles, the issue is that they are not in shape for the up-tempo style we run. Both technique and discipline suffers when you get players tired… unfortunately for us, that cuts both ways and it’s happening to our offensive tackles.

I think this is a tricky thing to figure out. On one hand, great technique often can overcome poor discipline except in the case of penalties. However, great discipline can mask poor technique but will get you beat from time to time. Not sure which I prefer.

Are "dead ball fowls" roosters who can't reproduce?

Seriously, count the number of times Heupel says "getting behind the sticks" in a presser and you can tell how undisciplined we are this year.

That would be chickens or turkeys, right? The word you were looking for is "foul".

I’d fix that spelling but the responses are just too good.
