Ok. Just going by what I've seen this year and how much the playbook is opened up when the defense has to defend qb draw, power, rpo etc that Bailey doesn't do as well
The offense needs a healthy, functional OL or a dual-threat QB. Doesn’t necessarily need both (although it helps), but neither is a killer.
I tried to find the video again...on limited replay I though there was some plant and rotation.... I just saw Boche test the ACL, only to come back to it for a 2nd and 3rd time..again they didn't stay on him the whole time... but it appeared he was also checking the posterior lateral corner... I dont expect to see him the rest of the year.
My doctor told me he was going to check my posterior lateral corner at my last check up, and his fingers were in a way different spot in me than the doctor’s were when checking Hooker.
I found the video and watched again.... It appears to me he is doing. Its what I do for a living, so it stands out to me. Just part of the eval. It was when they came back from replay of it, so we missed a good 10-15 seconds in between.
To add to this, need to cut down on the holding penalties. Also if McGrath hits the field goal after the missed OM field goal, we more than likely win the game. We also saw the ugly side of this offense in the second quarter. I think they had 8 plays in the 2nd before the final FG drive. Really proud of this defense, though. Omari Thomas and Aaron Beasley are young guys who seem to be improving every week. Overall, we are missing so many people from an already thin roster. That that game didn't get away from us is starting to make me believe in this staff. If we can finish with that level of intensity and fight throughout the rest of the season, I'll be sold.
I just don't understand why we don't have cameras on both sides of the field. This is exactly the thing that cost us the Pitt game.
Doesn’t Neyland itself have multiple cameras? I was under the impression that most school’s stadiums have their own for getting game film (and possibly crowed surveillance…). If so, those cameras should be fair game for review purposes.
No need for the huddle, replay official should make the call and communicate it to the referee. Keep moving.
Replay officials are still getting it wrong too often. Sensors in the tips of the ball to provide telemetry which can then be modeled in 3D space to determine forward progress and even inform a "catch", tip, etc.
Surely this will be forthcoming… if not, the ONLY possible reason is to give refs an out for helping teams like Bama, Georgia, Notre Dame and others of that ilk along… and to prevent upsets that would cost the ‘AA a lot of $$$.
I kind of wonder if Plowman/White have realized that if decide they want to lay a hammer that they are going to have a full scale munity on their hands?
The NFL doesn't seem to have these officiating issues, nor five hour games. If the SEC really wants to be NFL lite, they need to model after that.
I'm telling you, if punishment not scaled to the individual bad actors comes down, there will be professional consequences for them. People won't stand for it.
Bottles were thrown in London during the Jaguars game, by the way, on a bad call. I have heard NOTHING about it.
I believe White realized it as it was happening. Both he and Heupel asked for a loud, wild sellout. They got it.
