So Our Players Think They are Playing Hard? Viewer Discretion Advised

But wait, all the people here keep saying peters has to play? Why? He's not a corner. He's not. He's bad bad bad. And I'm being nice.

Motivating your players and putting them in the best position to succeed is a big part of coaching. This team is not only bad, they arent motivated. Why would they wanna be here if they know their coach tried to leave them?? Why would they give ''relentless effort'' and ''strain'' if Mullen didnt/hasn't??? Its obvious our offseason was garbage compared to the other ones. Had a o lineman that played center for Jackie tell me the other day that when we went to bowls under him in the mid 90s, those seasons we had 6 am workouts. The years we didnt?? We didnt go bowling

Everybody's bad and is getting burnt/blown up at times. It ain't just Peters. It ain't Fitz QBing either. We put 38 up on Ky the other night. Should've been plenty to win the game.

Some players are not SEC players. I believe Peters will be, but he ain't yet.

I do tend to believe Dan has lightened up on them in the off season. It's hard to change that course in mid-season. Now we stuck.

[msstate7]

I'll buy that. I'm really tired of D staff turnover and if the reason they're playing like this is as you say - then stick with it till they get it. I tended to think like you're thinking but some of the plays I've noticed have made me second guess that.

ETA: We may not have the personnel to run it against SEC W, but we do against 3 of the teams we've lost to. Without a doubt.

Hard to blame the defense for USA and byu losses... well certainly not byu. Defense is to blame for Kentucky though

[dawgday166]

You are correct state7.

Peters will never be an sec corner. Been saying it for 2 months. That's not changing.

Is there any place to put him or is he officially a bust?

Clear PMs BTW

Don't believe I ever said he'd be a corner. I said I believed he'd be an SEC caliber player. Right now the coaching he is receiving ain't helping a whole lot. They have had him all over the place.

I think he's a hybrid lb type. If he can't play there then yeah, he is. Sorry just the truth

Well that's were he's playing and he's lost. So while he isn't the only one, he isn't good so there's that.

He was lost in coverage as a safety as well but was a freshman. Right now still see his best spot as a husky type safety in run support.

Agree. See above. Hybrid lb.

Yeah. Forgot to say I agree with that post as well

That guy lost all
Credibility on the first post. Smoke is coming full speed to the middle of the field to try and make a play and the guy cuts behind and smokey has to dive and try to make a play on him and he is talking about effort??? Complete bs calling smokey out on that one.

Our middle lb mr. Brown is god dang horrible and has been for two years now. He can't step in a hole and fill it up to stop the run and he can't get off a block to save his life.

If you are following this guy and taking every word he says as gospel, well you got a total lack of football knowledge. Sure he gets some plays right, but many he doesn't have a clue what he's talking about scheme wise. Which is sorta the point.

[Commercecomet24]

I see guys out of position as opposed to lack of effort or hustle.

You were dead on about peters being a corner. I thought there was a possibility but he just ain't a corner.

[DudyDawg]

Sirmon is barely qualified to be a defensive position coach and we hired him to be our DC. Get what you pay for

[Bodaski]

After coaching myself over 25 years, I would have come by god unglued doing our self scout. I would embarass somebody and their ass would be sitting. You are not going to be on my defense playing like that , I don't give a damn who you are. That shit would be squashed big time and if they pouted their ass could go too. They damn sure aren't helping us now.
