Do you like having a healthy Heisman candidate QB? I like having a healthy QB so I in fact do give a rats arse about his whiffs on pass pro.

Bingo.

What these people who say, “I don’t care how he blocks, he needs to play” people are saying is that they are ok with potentially getting your QB injured because a guy doesn’t understand his pass game responsibilities.

Crowell is a stud. But he’s fallen behind because he couldn’t stay healthy in spring and fall. In the meantime Brown was collecting extra reps and is ahead of him because of it.

I have little doubt 13 will catch up but it might still be down the road a ways.

Hill had five carries today. Five. It’s not like he had 15 carries.

He’d have 100 plus yards a game if I were. I did like how our offense used him as a decoy in the second half. He had almost 50 yards on 3 carries. I’d have given him 9 and he’d have 150

We are averaging 50 points a game. I don’t give two shits how many yards he has.

Don’t care, needs touches

People can crap on the other aspects of the game but it’s important. Like the first TD to RCW in the South Carolina game - that’s only a TD because of what Hill can give you in pass pro. Otherwise likely a sack.
Tennessee’s offense is special needs.
He’s electric but there is more to it than just running the football. He missed a lot of practice between spring and fall camp. He will get there.
Brown looks good IMO.

I do think Crowell we get a few in the second half.
It should be a flag if they are still ringing them once the offense lines up. Period.
Can’t complain too much about being up 11 at the break and getting the ball to start. Obviously we shot ourselves in foot a few times but they did too.

Need to keep scoring though because I feel like our defense is getting gassed by the tempo at times.
Saw yesterday that a Tuscaloosa kid and one of the best hitters in the 2028 class committed to South Carolina. Maybe they made a better offer but stinks not to keep him home.
Not having 8 and 9 in the rotation on defense is going to hurt us at some point. Containing Taylor is a major concern. The guys playing reserve roles with those two out don’t move nearly as well.

re: Grubb calls out ‘boo birds’

I stand by what I said. I don’t think “fans” should boo their own team. It has nothing to do with paid or not. Outside of lack of effort I don’t see a reason for it.

That’s fine if you disagree.
I will fully acknowledge that slow starts by this offense are way too common. That includes execution and, more frustratingly, basic operations and pre-snap penalties in almost every game. That should be cleaned up.

I also don't think fans should boo their own team. Grubb probably should have ignored it, too.

You taking rights away?

:lol:

Literal last post: "Look if people want to boo, fine."
It was a bit over the top. I will admit, though, if we were on defense on the same play I'd have been pretty pissed if a holding wasn't called on that.

And it seemed to me that McDonough was the one hung up on it and some of the other penalties.

Grubb was the one being booed

I'm sure that all the players realized that. :rolleyes:

Look, if people want to boo, fine. But when the reaction to someone calling that out is to whine, you've lost the right to call the other guy soft.
Grubb isn’t wrong. The booing was dumb.
quote:

But there is an element in our fan base who cannot handle it, simply come unglued, when we are not inflicting joyless murderball on our opponents not just every second but literally every millisecond of games.

You’re not wrong, but it hasn’t been milliseconds. We’ve trailed the past two weeks for much more game time than we’ve been ahead. Kentucky led us for almost 40 minutes. FSU I’m sure led for longer than we did.

We aren’t controlling the game well enough against lesser teams. Granted it’s great that we’ve come back to win solidly in both games. But we will be facing better teams starting here in a couple weeks and continuing to start slow will bite us.

FSU are decent and should have beat SMU.

They might be decent but they aren’t good. And Daniels is a pedestrian QB and we didn’t handle him well.

SMU outgained them by 250 yards, missed multiple FGs, was -4 in turnovers and still won. In no world “should” FSU have beaten SMU.
I learned that Dijon Lee is going to need to get better because teams are going his way all year with 2 on the other side.

In fairness I suppose Duce Robinson is a pretty dang good WR.
Score again IMO. If he wants to call timeouts go up top.
