re: RS last night

thanks for bringing this up...there has to be a better way for us to get the ball in sheppard's hands...

at least fake the hand off and dump it over the middle...we should hardly ever see a play when RS touches the balls and we net -6
good point...I don't see JJ progressing anytime soon and our schedule is about to get rough
well if that's the case and we're willing to sacrifice one of the best DBs in the country...let PP take the snaps and bench Jefferson. Hard to believe he couldn't do better.
It's really a shame when PP has an opportunity to continue a special season only for it to be in jeapordy b/c dumbass has a brain fart and decides to let him play on offense.

This also means he will cramp up and miss snaps on defense/possibly kick returns. Way to go coach....find another way to take points off the board. At this rate, the defense will need to pitch shut outs in order for us to get the W.

not to mention that leslie constantly says he will get Lee into the game....and never does! every radio show...same shite...

and please don't refer to the one series you let Lee hand the ball off...get real

i can't do anything about leslie sticking with Jefferson. It's his decision..not mine. But don't constantly tell us Lee will get playing time when you have no intention of doing so. just say that JJ is your man and will stay in the game.

as for the others saying that Jefferson is our only option...that's bs! Lee's pick 6 bonanza was 2 years ago...and do you honestly want me to believe that Lee is playing worse in practice than Jefferson does against our first 4 opponents? i'm not saying Lee should start but giving him 3-4 series in a game can't be any worse than the shite we see every Saturday..Jefferson's not done in my opinion but he looks uncomfortable just playing the game. of course he's going to play like crap. let him sit some during the game...see what happens
I wish it was simple as your question states. There's not much that he IS doing well so the issue is Jefferson in general. He's staring down his receivers, he's looking to run as soon as he drops back, and he's been inaccurate with simple short passes. I'm not trying to pile on JJ. I've seen him play better than this but something is terribly wrong and his constant decline in performance is evidence of that. I watched the game again last night and he looks so uncomfortable playing the game right now that it's actually sad to watch. He's never been a good QB in my opinion but he's definitely been serviceable and played with confidence in the past. There's no excuse for not letting Lee take half the snaps in these games. There's no way Lee is playing worse than JJ in practice. It's simply impossible. I'm not a coach and I learn new things about this game every weekend but I've seen other coaches in this situation and they made changes or adjustments before the situation worsens. Giving Lee some playtime may not solve our problems but it sure as hell won't make things worse.
completely agree with you...holliday was over-utilized in my opinion

90% of his tv time during the games were due to highlight clips of him running on the track team
first...we're going to learn better grammar

:lol:

i'm just joking bud

(deep breath) i think we have a chance at beating houston nutt this year

you're right...that kinda felt good
completely agree! Nebraska was the first situation that comes to mind for me...

Think about this one....look at Miami's record the years following coker's departure!
is he really that bad? i ask b/c i've muted the TV for our last 2 games and listened to Hawthorn...

From some of the talk around here you would think coaches would be lining up to come to a school that fires a coach after he wins no less that 8 games a year.


I agree...expectations are a little crazy in BR these days...
all i'm saying is that when comparing his recruiting ability to actually coaching up and handling his talent...i believe he's a much better recruiter

i agree with you...our defense IS badass and our speed is ridiculous

don't mistaken me for one of the les bashers that thinks we should fire him, etc. while i'm not miles' biggest fan, trying to get rid of him right now is weak and very improbable

i do believe that there are coaches out there that could do a great job with this program just as les did...i'm just not a huge fan of his coaching style...but beggers can't be choosers and i'm excited to see what this year brings
yea he can recruit...actually it seems like he can recruit with the best...but his coaching abilities are lacking
quote:

at least no one can knock JJ after this game


why is that? JJ definitely stepped up his game from last week and I'm happy for him. He's taken a lot of criticism over the last week, deservedly so, and he showed up with a better effort. However...we're not out of the woods yet. Tonight's gameplan of babying the QB won't work against our upcoming opponents. Plus considering his audience...last week's performance by JJ won't simply go away. He took a step in the right direction tonight but the fact that we can't open up the offense with our JUNIOR QB...is always going to be a liability and will eventually catch up to us. Probably sooner rather than later.

Hats off to the entire team. Great job. It's a blast watching our tailbacks run hard and our defense flying to the ball.
my new cosmo comes in the mail tomorrow...i'll let you know what they think works best

championship caliber? maybe...

bad arse? definitely

i agree...this defense plays like they want it...let's hope the offense can become mediocre and move the ball occasionally so the defense can rest

re: Does espn hate our Tigers?

I think hate is a strong word. Gameday was at our season opener and ESPNU picked up the Vandy game. Not to mention we have numerous others being nationally televised this season upcoming. I understand what you're saying but I'd say damn the highlights. We're getting plenty of national exposure.
i'm definitely not confident that miles will work this out...it's the only major issue we have...we have the players to win but a coach that lacks intensity and the will to use other players when something's not right

letting Lee play against miss st. is hardly throwing the game considering what JJ did against vandy.

i'm not saying Lee should start but he should definitely see snaps in the first half...we have to fix this problem in the first half or we'll lose this game...
Lee's a white mike vick (w/o the animal cruelty of course)
