He can't hit anything long to open up game.
And what's that say about Leach if all our all star players can't beat him out.
We win 1 more and get bowl eligible.
Bama and Georgia are going to rape us.
I don't feel we have a chance in hell VS Mississippi with how our run defense did tonight
Yea. This sucks ass. Where's the fun and gun.
We looked like shit tonight. Back to drinking.
I think it’s more Leach isn’t the answer. He is a average Coach but maybe that’s all we are.
Well, will only plays if the coach is leach.Quote:

Be careful. I know some folks around here won?t stand for any blame to be put on their anointed one.
If we go 6-6, get ready for many of our position rooms to empty quickly in a race to the portal.Quote:

Oh yeah. On this night of Stellar Performance, we can now throw away the old <22 yard punt> expression! We have a new one. <the 4 yard punt>😲😲😲😲😲
Will is fine against average or bad teams at home where things are on schedule and comfortable. When it's more than that, he's not in the same league as the game around him.
Leach is the issue, and unfortunately Cohen is just as big of an issue, and he would be the one we'd be asking to make a better hire. We're headed back to the cellar, and our fan base seems to have little option but to accept it and witness it as long as you can. I think I may be done. I knew when we were up 3-0 that we would lose, and that UK would pull away late via the ground game. Even posted about it in the game thread. Our team and program are so easy to read it's crazy. We are constantly failing when the lights are the brightest. Can't stand success. Mentally weak. It's in our DNA as a program. I just don't know if there's any changing it. Nick Saban couldn't turn this program into one that can win at a high level. Mentally weak and lack the talent to overcome it. Tonight I realize that it's time to accept it.
Yeah, I agree. He just isn't athletic enough. If he had the ability to possibly even get 4-5 yards on the scramble we'd be hell on wheels. Robertson has that but it's going to be wasted I'm afraid and he'll end up somewhere else.
I said this weeks ago. Will Rogers is great, but he doesn?t have what it takes to beat a good team. He just doesn?t. He has to constantly make perfect throws for it to work, and in the SEC even a shitty team can force you into hard to execute situations.
Now maybe we just matchup terribly against LSU and Kentucky, but they are not good teams.
Can Will throw the ball 35 yards down field when it counts? I really do not know. I think he can, but with two high safeties, it takes too long to get there. UT, Bama, and GA would beat us by a combine 75 easily. Hell Bama and GA may in the upcoming weeks.
I really want to believe in this team, but now the goal of this season is over. I still say, Sawyer needs snaps. I want to see if this kid can run the offense, with the 1st string in there, knowing it is his team for the game. With more than a week to prepare. I want to see it. He is faster. He has a stronger arm. And sure, he will probably lose some games he shouldn?t, but I would rather get those out of the way now because next season just started since Atlanta is now out of reach.
We are stuck with Rogers 2 more years. He is not draftable.
He will own all kinds of offensive records, but we will have very few SEC wins to show for it.
Unless leach leaves. He wouldn't start for any other coach.Quote:

I?ve always been and still am a fan of John Cohen. But I?ve also believed for awhile now we would improve our position with a professional AD. Unfortunately Keenum doesn?t seem capable of making it happen.Quote:

No - ridiculous
We're losing that game unless something drastic happens. Leach and Kiffin have done a good job of making it just another game on the schedule. They know the importance of it but have somehow minimized it for the coaches benefit regardless of the outcome.Quote:

Will had a bad game for sure. but I don't place all the blame on him. Our pass defense is terrible and has been all year. We have one good DB, Forbes.
So Leach was calling for the 2yd check-downs over and over last night? As I posted last night, they launch a 50yd bomb with somebody in the QBs face about to level him while we throw a 2yd dump off as soon as somebody is within 4yds of the QB. I'm not saying the receivers were open downfield but it seemed like we were never giving them a chance to get open before throwing the dump-offs even though more often than not, we had the time.Quote:

The rest of the season???Quote:

If Sawyer started we wouldn't win another game besides East Tennessee State. Will is absolutely our best current option.Quote:

Offenses take on the demeanor of their qb for better or worse and Will never seemed settled or calm last night. There were some plays there to be made that could've made a difference but we didn't hit em. Qb always gets to much credit and to much blame, just comes with the positionQuote:

Everyone please stop blaming the defense when they are consistently holding the opposing teams not named Alabama to 31 points or under .
With a ? air raid offense? we should be able to get in the mid 30?s against most teams.
We're probably only winning 1 more than that regardless. So I don't think it matters. I'm not advocating we start Sawyer the rest of the year, but to act like it would ruin the season is crazy...the season was ruined last night and in Baton Rouge with Rogers at the helmQuote:

Like on the goal line for instance, opposing teams know Will is going to hand off and they key on the RB because they know Will isn't going to keep it.Quote:
