Our LB by committee has worked well the first two games, but we don’t have anyone that comes close to matching Roquan’s sideline-to-sideline ability. We’re going to have another great defense, but are going to have to do it a little differently. Lots more talent on the defensive side to go along with outstanding coaching.
I think you're exactly correct.
Vanilla is a good flavor. The cherry on top and the chocolate sauce are the win.
Kirby also makes it very clear that how you practice and how you block determine whether you play. He rewards work.
Someone mentioned the playbook. That could be a huge factor in terms of DRob. He's only been in Athens for a minute.
Taking nothing from DRob. He will contribute. Probably a lot. However, we have layers of talent; it was certainly on display today.
Go, Dawgs!
Pleased by Holyfield’s excellent game. Surprised Dawgs were not sacking Bentley.
15/18 for 194 yards (10.8 yards per pass attempt).
If that's him "not sharp"... I can't wait to see what he does when he get sharpened up.
Just took a minute for him to get in a groove.
15 for 18 = 83%. One dumb pick. Maybe the reciever didn't read it the same as Fromm. Pretty good from my camo recliner.
How many so called experts that picked S. Carolina to win.
Cook not playing until real late. Guess the message is stoopid mistakes will cost you
The PI call on the throw to Herrien was the wheel route.
I was surprised and excited to see us throw that route to our 3/4th string RB. Even more excited that he would have scored if he hadn't been hit.
He would be starter at most schools.
I do not know if surprised is the right word. But I liked how the second team O-line looked at the end of the game.
And you really can't discount how loud that crowd noise was. I don't care who the QB is, it's going to take a few possessions to settle in and deal with that.
87 can’t get off the field because he mauls DBs in the blocking game.
I think that may be the reason Drob not playing more at this point
I was surprised by how many times the SC RT kept holding walker and never got it called. I saw several that werent even debateable....one of which was from behind. Walker would have probably had 3 more sacks if not for that dude
I thought the exact same thing. I also saw that down where he was literally tackled from behind. I kept waiting for the flag but apparently, the Ref didn't have one on him.
I was surprised about Kendal Baker’s fall. We kept hearing in camp that he was lining up at LT with the 2s so for him to lose the LG spot to Kindley and the backup LT spot was a surprise. I guess I’ll also include how mean Cade played. Kid is going to be a DGD and so glad he didn’t become a Vol.
Yeah, I expected at least four sacks, and I think we had one.
We should blitz more. Or, should we? Try a stunt, and it gets picked up or you leave a running lane open for a big gain. Blitz a LB or CB at the wrong time and you could be exposed to a big pass completion.
No, this coaching staff has figured out that you can play great defense without the high risk/high reward of blitzing. Hold your blocks at the interior line and run delayed blitzes with guys like D. Walker or Patrick. Brilliant.
53 rushing yards, 269 yards on 47 attempts is only 5.7 YPP, plus 2 INTs and at least 2 couple more that could have been. only gave up 10 points not in trash time. i'd say the defense did all you can ask of it. to be critical of thyat performance is to be nit picky at best.
I wasn't trying to be nit picky. Just illustrating the fact that you can run a great defense without many sacks to show for it -- something some fans have previously called for. But that was 2016 and this is 2018. Great job on D, and point taken.
my bad, i was trying to piggy back off your post, not dissagree with it. we are same same.
