re: Since we are talking about our QB siutatuion

Tenn. exposed some things yesterday. I hope that can be duplicated.

don't yuo think it is a little premature to compare Lee to Rohan? What has Lee done to warrent that comparison.

It would just be to risky to insert JL into a game at this time in the season. JJ needs the reps and we are not in a position to risk a loss just for an experiment with JL.

Would you really want to put him in against Mississippi St ?

you see, it's not about what's best for the TEAM for bt.

it's about what is best for JL, and how he can be on the field instead of JJ, despite the fact he would get eaten up out there with the way the o-line has been performing.

hopefully Shep starts getting more reps, we are going to need him when we get to the meat of the schedule.

You've seen the extent of what Shepard's role will be this year: Wild Tiger back and 6th WR.

not complaining about his role, just think we need to see more of it as the season progresses.

JJ is very raw but to me the glaring problem with this team is offensive line.

their performance to date gets a big fat F

The O-line play would look totally different if JJ would take his 3, 5 or 7 step drop and throw the ball on time in rhythm. He tends to hold the ball too long and scramble right into the rush. He does not have very good pocket awareness. A quick release passing offense based on timing would make our O-line look much better and the defense would be forced to take a safety out of the box to help out in the passing game. We have WR's on the outside that can run 40 yards in 4.4 seconds. How long does it take to run a 15 yard post, slant or curl. Those are timing routes thrown off of 3 to 5 step drops and the ball is out in under 4 seconds if thrown correctly. Our O-line is giving that much time and it would get better if we could establish these plays.

The good news is JJ did complete a few of these type of throws last night. He threw a great 15 yard comeback route to TT on the sideline and also thew a nice 10 yard curl to TT. I know many want to blame JJ for the ball almost being a pick 6 but that was TT's fault for not working back to the ball. A WR should never be standing still on a timing route. If TT makes his curl and circles back to the ball he cuts off the DB. When he stopped, he gave the DB a path to cut him off to the ball.

The point is we are doing some things right every game and I'm sure the coaches are pointing this out in the film room. We still have a chance to be a good football team if we keep getting better. I don't think the offense has flowed very well because Crowton has been trying to figure out what we can count on and what we can do well. Hopefully, we can put those things together by the time we play UGA and establish an identity for the season. I have not seen any team on our schedule look so great that we can't beat them if we put together a good game. The best football is still ahead of this team. They will get better.

still pushing your agenda i see

The problems JL had last year are typical of a first year starter.

This was your post defending lee in May. I guess the same can be said for JJ.

If you weren't a Jarrett Lee nob-slobber, I think people could take your posts seriously, but we just can't.

I actually agree with much of what you said, but to be honest, you and your obsession for Lee is utterly ridiculous.

well said

I am not saying that we should pull JJ for Lee, but giving him a drive or two a game isn't a horrible idea. JJ is doing okay, and he's going to struggle. We don't have the advantage Sam Bradford and Colt McCoy had as RS Freshman in an awesome offensive line. We are really weak at OL this year. Thus, I don't expect JJ to put up ridiculous numbers.
