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

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.

I see the same. Smoke actually did a good job containing the guy. Forcing the guy to cut back toward the sideline and angling him off. Wimbley should have stopped at "Kentucky did a good job of blocking." That is correct. Their OL whipped us across the DL and at LB that play!

What I see in all those videos. Isn't necessarily effort as much as it is linemen (O and D) that are slow. We are not quick enough at OL to cut off DLs slanting into the gap. Our OL isn't quick enough to pull and lead block a LB in the hole. On the other side, Our LBs aren't quick enough or strong enough to avoid and shed a block. OUr DL is getting whipped out by their OL.

One of those clips, he calls our OLB out for lack of hustle. However, what happens on that play. UK's 74 and their LG shoves our DT across the line, then 74 peals off and seals off our LB. Their RG pulls and locks up our MLB. 74 kicked our tail on that play. Our OLB (who is the focus of commentary) sees a hole develop, guesses that hole but the UK RB takes an inside hole and is through the inside hole before our OLB can get to him. Our OLB tried, he just read the hole wrong and the UK RB was quick enough to get through the hole. He says our OLB gave up on the play. Yet the OLB still makes the tackle down field.
