Hey guys thanks for all you do. I am sure you are going to have tons of people asking questions. Thanks in advance for getting to mine.
1. We heard all camp how good the defensive line was - - in retrospect was it because the offensive line was so poor or do you think they just had a bad game? Were you surprised by how App State pushed our D-Line around?
2. I have heard rumors that Josh Dobbs and his parents have encouraged the coaching staff to run him less this year in order to prevent injury and to increase his potential to get drafted - ie - show he can throw the ball better. Is there anything to this rumor and is this handcuffing the play calling on offense?
3. Which linebackers, corners, etc do most of the play calling and alignment for the defense? Was it a blow from an alignment aspect losing Reeves-Maybin?
4. Have you had a chance to review the Reeves-Maybin hit, the Williams TD drop? Do you think these were called correctly? What was JRM to do? It seemed as if the receiver ducked his head into JRM.
5. It appears to me as if Debord has no confidence in Dobbs' ability to throw the ball down field. Do you think he just doesn't trust Dobbs' or is it that he doesn't trust the offensive line?
6. What was your candid assessment of Debord's job last night?
7. It is early and the sample size small, but Tennessee found no running room on punts, and gave up a big return on a punt as well. Do you think the loss of Mark Elder is going to bite what on paper is the best returning special teams team in the country?
Thanks guys!
