The Atlanta Braves Thread (Javy Lopez Edition)

[Vercingetorix]

Tennessee needs to go into November with the QB on the field who gives them the best chance to beat Auburn, Mizzou, Vandy, and Kentucky. I don't know who that is. All I know is that A) Justin Worley is terrible, and B) despite that, none of the other QBs came even remotely close to unseating him during spring or fall camp.

I don't care if they make a change here or not. But however he handles it, Jones has got to keep this team from having a QB controversy between two terrible QBs. The team can't handle it.

All *****ing and moaning aside...do you guys think Worley finishes the game out?

No. If he is truly your starter why risk injury then?

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

My god.

 

[Vercingetorix]

Justin Worley did another terrible job on defense there.

 

[Mr_Henley]

See this is my issue not them running 10-11 plays and sustaining drives. It's the repeated coverage where we have guys running free with no one even close. It's not getting beat 1v1 with talent, it's confusion and bad defense

 

[Mr_Henley]

Well at least I won my $100 on Oregon -21.5. I got that way before it was driven up to 28.5

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

LOL...who was that ball to?

The offense is awful, but you can sort of squint your eyes and imagine that we might be all right with better QB play. The defense is just completely overmatched and overwhelmed. As expected.

Duck 2nd O versus the Vols 1st D. Surprise, still moving the ball.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

They're going to score 70 on us today.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

I can honestly say that this is worse than I thought it would be. Pretty disappointed.

 

[Mr_Henley]

Now we get a good pass and back to back drops

I didn't think we could stop them, but I thought we might move the ball a little bit.

We will never move the ball.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

We will never move the ball.

I see that

I thought we would do a better job running the ball and sustaining a few more drives. Instead we didn't really try. Everything out of the shotgun; lots of passes. With a QB that we already knew sucks.

Defensively, this has gone about like I expected.

Yes, confused by this as well. This is how Stanford slowed Oregon last year... they ran the ball and just leaned on Oregon. Of course, they have a much better defense.

Peterman really does have a lot more steam on his throws than Worley.

I thoroughly expected him to emerge as the starter. It was a fairly nasty surprise that he apparently never even came close.

Same. All early reports after Jones was hired was that Peterman was tailor made for this offense.

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Thread in the FF called "Im gonna western union some money...


To Worley"

Lol

 

[Notorious B.E.N]

Im glad that's over.

 

[Mr_Henley]

At least Newcastle got 2-1 win. Hopefully Medlen will pitch well tonight to salvage any part of today.

Jones recruited Peterman heavily while he was still at UC. Everyone assumed that Worley was completely mismatched and should probably transfer. But yet Peterman was apparently never even close to being the starter. I have to assume that the coaches know what they're doing.

I'm sure they do. At least a hell of a lot better than I do.
