Tell me how we are better.
I think we are, however I am trying to gain additional perspective for discussing it.
Reason? I was on a plane with a gump in Dallas, in an elevator with another gump in Midland Texas. I can't escape these bastards. Like cockroaches. So I will be in Seattle Wa rest of the week. Sure I will find a lost clan of gumps there too

Regardless of thier ability to speak about football, I want some of your thoughts of why we are a better team now so I can better slay the gump roach apocalypse.

Well for one the emergence of Kenny Hilliard

And JJ played only half the game vs bama and he was The one that was effective

JJ is starting and getting more reps. Can't defend the last game though. They should not get two pics from Lee this time.

We have more depth than bama. We have much better special teams than bama. We are better coached than bama.

(1) Kenny Hillard
(2) PJ Longeran
(3) JJ has played more than 1 game now
(4) Tyrann on punt returns
(5) Our corners have actually seemed to get better as well (hard to believe).


Separate answers on Bama:

(1) Still a one man team (TR)
(2) Still don't have a field goal kicker
(3) LB's are still slow
(4) Can't seem to figure out JJ


All that....looks like another one for the good guys. Just an honest assessment....I think Bama (and their whiny, entitled fan base) are actually pretty nervous about the prospect of losing again. Little Nicky is not going to sleep for 35 days.

Better at the RB postion - obviously because of the play of KH27.

Regressed at he WR position.

Better in the return game due to TM7.

Regressed at the safety postion do to Reid's injury.

Better at the LB postion due to Kevin Minter's play.

Better at on the DL due to the Freak and Rasco's play.

OL will be better due to being healthy.

QB should be better...no turnovers.



ETA: OBJ and RS10 need to block better. Their first half performance in the SEC Championship game was terrible. RR is playing at a consistant high level...he is just bad arse.

This. We've looked damn dominant since the Bama game, but when we've played teams with a pulse we've started out slow.

JJ actually makes us harder to defend, at least on anything that's not 3rd and long. He's big, physical and kinda fast...and is enough of a passing threat to command respect. Of course, he can run the option (and the timing/pitch is actually looking really good), but he can also get outside of the pocket and throw or run. Reading defenses and getting the ball out of his hands remains an issue. He and Lee are nearly exact opposites...except in that they're both pretty average senior QBs with lots of playing time under their belts.

Oh...and this time, we won't forget to cover TR on 3 plays.

Pretty sure you're right about that. I couldn't believe you left TR open on 2 screen passes. Surely you'll cover our top offensive weapon this time.

JJ looks like he's going into a slump. He had like 30yards passing against UGA? WTF?
If UGA can shut you down for an entire half I'm pretty sure we can for an entire game.

I also believe our offense needs a jump start from our defense and special teams. Especially big plays. Here's to hoping Les has this team ready from the start of the game come January 9th.

1. Hilliard keeps getting better
2. Tyrann is returning punts better than he has all season
3. we will add the various option plays we run to our offense throughout the entire game.
4. Jj will be that much more comfortable working the offense.

UGA didn't shut JJ down....he shut himself down.

Sound familiar?

huh? why do we have to be any better?

are you a tiger wuss?

check out youtube. lsu won.

do you feel good about ms, wk, ark and ga?
did you see the scores?

if is 9-6 again, i'll take it.

but, i'm callin it 37-10.

p.s. i tell gumps that they are better. we just lucked out w/ our kickin'. i tell gumps that they actually won and will win the same way next time.

it validates their thinkin'.
