Miles Statements about pressure debunked.

Plus, a realistic passing threat would open up the run some, and scale back some of that pressure.

JJ can run a little, but Lee has a quick release. Advantage, Lee.

Advantage Lee on everything. I said it after the Western Kentucky game and I am saying it now. You never should have benched Lee. Bring JJ in situationally and start Lee. Both play and offense is diverse.

Sacks occur when two things happen primarily:

1) A QB holds on to the ball too long regardless of what his feet are doing

2) A defense sells out on the pass and mauls the line overwhelming the protection and causing even more of #1

Both happened Monday. Lee would have changed #2. I don't buy that with Lee in, they blitz more. They have to defend the obvious pass. Plus I felt Lee was better at selling the option than JJ based on the limited evidence (W.Ku). And he's always better than #1, sometimes to a fault, but not this year.

Les is a stubborn coach and that's why it's unfortunate. How as a fan do we fix this? I don't see how other than continuing to pressure the administration and university to wake up Les to the reality that he has to evolve his game and stop being the final judge on on the field talent. He's gotten it wrong so many times now with Jamarcus and Jordan that he's seriously risking recruiting if he continues to be unaccountable to his actions

quote:

---

Jarrett Lee was sacked 4 times in 167 pass attempts this season. He took a sack on 2.4% of his pass attempts.

---

He had good protection for most of the 1st 8 games of the season. Despite that somehow he still got rattled as soon as he started facing pressure against Bama. We all should know what happens to Lee when he is dealing with pressure

With that said I wouldn't have minded seeing him out there even though I was sure it wouldn't have made much of a difference.

Lee gets sacked less than Jefferson for one reason: Nine times out of ten, Lee is going to grab it and let it fly. Period.

Don't get me wrong, I kept hoping he would get in the game Monday night. He can be very accurate at times and can make throws Jefferson can't. But Lee is gonna let it fly if the receiver is open or not. It's just what he does. And yes, he did it his entire career, even in the great run to open the season. He's just so accurate at times that he can squeeze the throw in sometimes when he shouldn't throw it in the first place.

We had receivers open the other night and Jefferson couldn't get the ball to them. Maybe Lee would have. You've just got to be willing to accept whatever you get from him. He'll always be a favorite of mine because of his team attitude and loyalty, along with the great start he gave us this year. He deserved a chance to at least have a shot at a memorable night in his final game.

Alabama was expecting Jordan Jefferson for 6 weeks of preparation. How unexpected would it have been to have started J. Lee and come out throwing against their 8 in the box like they did.

Bama went against it's tendencies (good coaching) and we stuck with the same ole "you know".

Jl is a great qb but miles is a horses arse for treating the young man that way

If you want to see what a quality SEC QB looks like in 2012 watch Mettenberger - I look for Randle to get some playing time too! Quality QB depth for the next few years won't be our problem.
