Worley Haters and Hood Ahead of Mo Couch Complainers

[Preds&Vols]

1 miss was on North but at least 2 completions were to his credit for amazing adjustments to bad throws

Or were route running mistakes on him instead of bad throws on Worley's part.

 

[oregonvol]

A lot of peoole including me wanted Crompton benched during the UCLA game but he wasn't and look at how that game ended.

fixed

Worley needs to be shown the QB slide, or a FL, GA, SC or Bama LB or S will come up and knock the soup out of him. Based on how our 2nd team QB looked, we really need Worley to stay healthy.

This times 1000.

I dont mind him running, 4 rushes for 21 yds, but get the F down. I just knew at any second he was gonna get rocked into next season.

And that weak juke he had?! lol it looked like me trying to juke somebody.

But he did do a great job saturday, especially on that play where he had a guy in his face and knew where to put the ball for Devrin to get the TD.

Really hope Nate doesnt look that bad with the 1st team, but to his credit he didnt have the line or the recievers that Worley did.

I wish we could have Worley's brain and arm with Nate's legs. Anybody know a Dr. Frankenstien?

 

[Remy]

Both Clausens fit this mold. Casey didn't have a bad arm, but he didn't have a Bray/Ainge type arm either.

34-10 with a 14-1 road record with Casey. I'll take that.

I guess I didn't consider CC as a game manager as he came out of Cali with so much hype as a West coast QB. Turns out at the collegiate level he was really a dink and dunk guy, same as his brothers, even the highly touted Jimmy turned out to be in the genre. I do agree, it would bother me not were Worley ever able to do what Casey did, which is have a winning record against UF, even if he had a clubfoot and ran a 73.4 40.

Fair enough

 

[madbamahater]

If Worley plays at that level throughout the season, we're looking at 4-8 or thereabouts. Off target passes with no zip like he was throwing Saturday night will spell disaster against good SEC defenses.

We saw two different first halves apparently. Are you sure you are talking about Worley's first half or the back-ups second half? Now that was bad..........

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

Everybody STFU! God D there are so many analyst and armchair coaches on here. It's stupid. Every time I check into VN, there is another moronic thread of if's, but's, or's , and concern's that it is just plain ridiculous. Most of the posters on here must have an IQ of 10 or below. DAAAMMNNNNN!

And you just put yourself in the group you are telling to "STFU".

Some people like to do more than get on here and say "Go Vols".

Get over yourself.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

We don't have a legitimate threat at QB at this point.

Worley is the best passer which is scary in itself. The point most seem to miss is not that he was 11-13 but if he could hit some of these WR in stride, there were some much bigger plays to be had on Saturday.

Peterman looks like a 3rd rate version of Tebow. Runs like a FB and throws like one as well.

Doubt either of the freshmen will be close to being ready before mid season at best.

Not hating on these guys but blowing smoke isn't my thing.

 

[VOLFan65]

Hey I'll admit it, I criticized Worley like alot of folks. Glad to know that he was making the right plays! Come on young bucks. Run your routes! Go vols.

 

[mtowntim]

It appears conditioning hasn't been Mo's strong suit since he's been on campus.

Exactly right.

 

[papatomany]

Yeah. You're right. It was all Worley's fault. Jones was either lying or has no idea what he's talking about with all that stuff about the receivers not running their routes right.

And you bet your rear... I am sure he's just all torn up because Worley avg'd 9.5 ypc rather than 10 ypc the first time out....

Give it a break.

No. It isn't that tough. I would really like for Peterman to step up and be the man. I like his personality. Seems to be a first class kid. But his decisions were not "excellent" as you acknowledge Worley's were. If he doesn't clean that up then he's going to be passed by one or both of the true Fr.

The quote I gave was in direct response to how well Worley played, so, yes, Butch is not happy with the lack of "big splash football plays" and he does consider the QB most responsible. He did say "that was the receivers", but he qualified that at the end of the same response with "on a couple of those the receivers ran the wrong depths." And it's not 9.5 instead of 10, it's 9.5 instead of 13; the difference being a 35 yard gain or 3 of those 5 yarders turning into 15 yarders. That's been his scheme everywhere, I'm not sure why you think he's now happy with dink, dink, dink. What he does is dink, dink, boom.

You said that he was 11 of 13, what's the big deal, and I told you what the big deal was. It was better than it could have been, but far short of what it needs to be, by Butch's established standards.

And yes I have no doubt Worley will be the starter all year, and will not be the starter next year.

 

[tennrich1]

I love Butch and love my VOLS...but I'm really worried about our offense in general. I mean I was honestly bored mid-way through the 2nd qtr, needless to say the second half was even worse. I really hope that there's a lot more electricity than what was shown Saturday. If not, we'll be lucky to win 6 games...seriously. This may be where we are right now simply based on talent.

Something to remember....for what its worth....YOU DID NOT SEE THE OFFENSE AGAINST AP...you should feel better about that at least...now having said that...the offense we start to see unfold over the next few weeks still may not be pretty...lets wait and see...

 

[The Orange Pants]

There's no excuse for imperfection against the likes of Austin Peay. Worley should have complete every pass. The defense sucked too. They should have gone all Remember the Titans on them by not letting them gain a yard. We suck horse pecker. Fahr Butch.

My god people it's like the NFL pre-season....we overmatched them in all facets so it's not worth it to unleash our whole playbook on little old Austin Peay. How do people not get that we were running a super vanilla scheme the entire game.

You'll get your electricity.

Not what Jones said... that is your interpretation of what he said and not a very good one. He was complimentary of Worley... VERY compimentary even though the "team" has a ways to go in the passing game.

He did say "that was the receivers", but he qualified that at the end of the same response with "on a couple of those the receivers ran the wrong depths."

.... Worley only threw 2 incompletions. He was also talking about the 2nd half WR's.

And it's not 9.5 instead of 10, it's 9.5 instead of 13;

You said 10 ypc... Regardless, North making a play on a catchable deep ball would have closed that gap. FWIW, they were VERY vanilla. They showed a fraction of the playbook.... that came out of Jones' interview as well.

the difference being a 35 yard gain or 3 of those 5 yarders turning into 15 yarders. That's been his scheme everywhere, I'm not sure why you think he's now happy with dink, dink, dink. What he does is dink, dink, boom.

Didn't say he was satisfied... I said you were wrong in the way you interpretted his comments on Worley.

You said that he was 11 of 13, what's the big deal, and I told you what the big deal was. It was better than it could have been, but far short of what it needs to be, by Butch's established standards.

You are making a mountain over a mole hill. If they had chosen to wing it, they could have thrown for 400 yards against AP. They instead worked on the run game and limited the playbook to things that would let them see execution but not show too much.

And yes I have no doubt Worley will be the starter all year, and will not be the starter next year.

No one said you weren't entitled to be wrong.

If he starts all year this year then he is almost certain to be the starter next year. It is VERY unlikely that he is not the starter all year this year barring injury. My opinion has shifted on that of late. Peterman appears to be much further behind than I imagined. I thought he could well catch and pass Worley. I seriously doubt that now. Burning one of the RS's is very unlikely barring injury to Worley.

I have even begun to think it is likely we would see one of the Fr as a starter if Worley gets injured. Until then, Peterman will probably take the junk time reps.

 

[volfanbill]

all it takes is for the receiver to make his move one step early for Worley's passes to appear late and behind the receiver. There's no reason Butch would be protecting Worley by placing the blame on freshmen receivers. I'm a supposed negavol because I'm anticipating a 7 win season at best, but a lot on here are making me seem like a downright sunshine pumper.

As Worley continues to get snaps solely with the first team and the vice versa, the timing will get better. It's a process. Kinda like a brick by brick thing you might say.

 

[volfanbill]

Furthermore, Worley won the GPOTY at NWHS in an offense that is essentially just like this. Butch said he needed someone that could manage this offense, and Worley clearly seems to be that guy.

 

[rockytop114]

yea this years goal is to keep the RS on the Freshman this i believe unless Worley gets hurt i see Peterman transfering after this year.

I'm a coach....I get it! The point is I wished they'd used this game to grow in the passing game! I'm not suggesting hanging 70 on them. You can throw from 20 to 20 then stick to running if you're trying to hold the score down. You can't simulate game speed in practice...that's why I was hoping they'd work on their timing in the passing game (which is obviously off!).

Coach huh? Think I found a picture from your game last Friday night. You got it alright.

 

[sjt18]

Worley shorting North on the long pass concerns me more than anything else he did... and that was a catchable ball... it was also a potential TD if he'd led him right.

I did notice UT had two WR's in the area though so someone messed up.

 

[sjt18]

One will and possibly two. My guess is one of the Fr will go. Peterman will stick it out and try to improve so he wins the job when Worley is done. He's not good right now... but I wouldn't say he's hopeless. The guy has some natural ability.

 

[Biopsyman]

I'm afraid you're right about Worley's running. He's slow and runs like a stork or flamingo. But on the other hand, he has guts which was shown in his willingness to block for the RBs. That scares me, I think it sets him up to be plastered , but the man has guts you got to admit.

oregonvol, I used hate because a lot of disrespect and doubt has been spewed at Worley on this board. A lot. Unfairly if you ask me.

Compared to Bray... He is real fast

Bored? You really expected the entire playbook against Austin Peayd their pants?
