"I think the thing right now, in the realities of building our program, is we have absolutely zero depth," Jones said. "That's been extremely evident."

i was surprised at this statement by CBJ ,sounds like he is frustrated to the max,he is usually good at the coach speak

 

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Truth

 

[oregonvol]

It's not like our starters have been playing lights out either

 

[Volunteer forever]

Soon!

 

[Catbone]

He's right.

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

Probably because they are tired because there is no one behind them to play the second hardest schedule in america

 

[Rockytoptalker]

I think he finally got tired of speaking in general terms and said what he was really thinking. I'm glad.

 

[volsohard1222]

truth. Because of this he's not able to prepare and put the team in the best position, this week alone he's taking a huge risk in padded practices to get the team ready.

 

[Sudden Impact]

It's reality. As the season wears on the players wear out. The bye week should help but we could be in a physical take no prisoners mode which adds mental stress.

Should have added "....and damn near absolutely zero team speed, especially on defense."

 

[Catbone]

Few more years of solid recruiting will help immensely

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

A. He's right.

B. Where are all the guys that get all upset at posters on here criticizing players? That is essentially what CBJ just did.

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

A. He's right.

Uh, I don't think CBJ was criticizing players. He is simply stating the obvious.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

According some posters, we have a roster full of talent. It's obvious that we do not, but you play the hand that your dealt.

one thing for people to remember,it is going to be a crap load of freshmen next year and that usually doesn't work good in the SEC

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

Uh, I don't think CBJ was criticizing players. He is simply stating the obvious.

I believe, there are 84 player that have scholarships. So, obviously some of them do not have the talent to play in the SEC. If they did we would have depth.

 

[KingtUT]

A. He's right.

B. Where are all the guys that get all upset at posters on here criticizing players? That is essentially what CBJ just did.

Not really. He's criticizing players who aren't there, sort of.

 

[Velo Vol]

So why add more contact to practice this week? That's going to solve nothing.

 

[volsohard1222]

So why add more contact to practice this week? That's going to solve nothing.

so we don't get dominated at the line of scrimmage.

 

[golf437]

A. He's right.

If you compare what He said to the asinine comments on this board is laughable.

 

[UTProf]

truth. Because of this he's not able to prepare and put the team in the best position, this week alone he's taking a huge risk in padded practices to get the team ready.

That alone should negate in severance package/buyout owed to Dooley. If anything, he should be paying us.

 

[Cartervol]

Kiffin's missing class and Dooley's sub par recruiting is why.. They have the numbers, just short on SEC players..

Lol! I guess after making a statement like that, Butch is a negavol like myself.

 

[BIGORANGEBUBBA]

The player staff asked for it. They indicated to CBJ that they felt they had gotten away from the physicality the past few weeks. CBJ had let up on the physical practices in an attempt to keep injuries down. It's not like Butch made this decision all on his own. The players asked for it, so that they can stress hard nosed physical play in hopes of making a bowl game.
