Yet again, another rant

[VOLINVONORE]

I know it gets old hearing people just rant all the time. But I’ve just got a couple things on my mind since I’ve woke up and can’t quit thinking about how piss poor that game was. They say writing it down helps sometimes so I guess that’s what I’m going to do.

1. If you think Milton was the issue in that football I’m not sure what you was watching. Besides the Clemson game it might have been the most accurate I’ve seen him. Kid threw some great balls, with very few miscues. Late in the game when they didn’t have a choice but to let him loose he looked elite. I don’t get it, we are suppose to be the aggressor and we are playing like we have a 21 point lead at all times and it’s sickening. But after all the Milton bash I just felt the need to give him some credit because our Qb was absolutely not the reason we lost this game. I think 3 bad balls I counted. A 3rd and long slant that he threw in the ground, a deep ball he had a guy very open and got hit in the mouth that resulted into a pick and the 4th down where he threw it low.

2. With our different our offense looks this year, I can’t help but wonder exactly how much touch Golesh had on our offense last year. I know it’s Heupels offense per say but I think Golesh took this system and play book and made it his baby and became elite at it with our talent. Seeing how conservative we’ve called games and almost scared to open up in a sense I’m really starting to wonder if Heup doesn’t let the Oc call the game and he just listen and makes changes with the call. I can’t believe it’s Heupel because how different it looks between the two seasons. However, if it’s not he better start calling the plays or he’s doing to lose the team and season.

3. I hate losing this game so bad. Waiting all off-season and hearing every flippin practice report about how we have a bunch all Americans running around just to see them play like this is deflating. We are about to find out how much leadership we have real quick because this **** could go down the drain real quick. I hate losing this early in the season and having a feeling like the season is over because of how much anticipation we had. **** sucks so bad. I’m sorry you guys had to hear yet another rant.


Go Vols Fellas

It appears you were dreaming when you got up this morning.

Just like the throw into the ground to end the game, most of his other passes had the WR’s slowing up or over throwing (one, fairly badly) or just late.

There was, like, only one on the money!

Saying it over and over again doesn’t make you any more right. It just makes you look stubborn.

So you pick one that was bad while I gave you 5 that were right on point. Yes he had some bad throws but he had exponentially more than 1 great throw. I’d love to see your refute to how any of the 5 I gave you were “off”.

No. You only read my response and not my original post that the poster responded too. My guess is you knew better but, wanted to slant the argument in a manner to make yourself not feel ignorant about your post. Therefore, you just cherry picked (one) of my example which, was a terrible throw and absolutely gave the WR no chance!

Just because you use the word “exponentially” for shock value doesn’t mean it actually performed what you wanted it to. Maybe for some but, for me, it did not!

Now, not only was Joe throwing poorly all night, he has not looked good all year! He just can’t deliver it on the money! There was a major drop in week one but, and this is my guess, he’s taking heat off his throws in an effort to place the ball. It’s simply just not working!

I understand the logic behind believing this, but it's not accurate. Golesh was only with Heupel for one season at Central Florida. Golesh had some play-calling duties last season, but not full autonomy. It is the same system that Heupel has been running since he was the OC at Utah State in 2015. He is running plays which he thinks his current personnel can execute. That obviously reflects a change in talent across the board (Hooker, Hyatt, Tillman, Fant, Wright, Carvin are gone). So no ... the offense last year was not Alex Golesh's baby.

Yikes.

South Carolina defense is perplexing. They’re terrible against the run & pass. How do you attack?
