By scheme on a lot of our plays we do not block the backside DE/LB. When Jax #40 (so fast and instinctive) was in that position he often blew up our plays. Something to consider going forward.

I saw Owens in at RT the last two D series and he got a sack. He was #89. Vernon was in at RDE and Merriweather at LDE. Adams was also in on D late in the game and made a big hit for a loss.

I agree about the good throws. Our pass protection is much much improved over the past several years (we saw some improvement in 2016) and our receivers are very consistently sure-handed. It takes all three to be a threat with the pass and for the first time in a long while the pass seems to be...

On the last D series I saw B Swilling and Roof at LB, Vernon and Merriweather at DE, Owens at DT, and Campbell at S. Earlier J Johnson and Adams played. On O I saw the Morgans and Ivenmeyer on the OL as well as L Johnson on the last O series. There were likely others I failed to see. Owens and...

Today late in the game Vernon played RDE and Merriweather played LDE and Owens was at RDT. That was the series when we got the 3 sacks, Owns, and Roof (2). I did not see him play earlier. He did look good and could probably play either position but this year we need more help at DT. A few weeks...

In the presser CPJ said something like "you can't creep up to the line and then slide sideways looking for a hole. J Howard will hit it hard up in there". Sounded like he was talking about the BB.

Myself, daughter, son-in-law and Ga grad brother-in-law who wants to borrow a GT gold hat for the game which I will provide.

Note the LBs and S play. Mitchell fills the D right side hole but is blocked by the C I believe. Nobody fills the middle hole. Both the S and Lewis fill the left side hole. Glanton gets double teamed and pushed way back causing Lewis to get hung up in the mob. Runner avoids the S by cutting up...

Mitchell had coverage on the RB and late in the play the RB released to the right flat drawing Mitchell in that direction. If our blitzing LB comes from the left outside causing the RB to block him then Mitchell would be free to bracket the slot guys as you suggest.

Most obvious hold was on Andree who would otherwise made the tackle.

I got a good look at it at the time and told my daughter that in hind sight Qua should have crash hard left for the ball and made it a real collision, in which case he should have gotten the call. Qua let the defender "screen him off" without enough resistance from him. That no call was on Qua...

There were other big issues in addition to our D scheme IMO. Early in the game the QB was wild with his throws and there were several drops leading to D stops. Some of that came from more pass rush pressure and some came from some big hits from our DBs but as the game progressed (scheme not...

On that play in that situation it was a perfect chance to use Jones (fresh legs, very fast, and hard to tackle).

I was in row 11 upper deck and half of the scoreboard stats were out of view. It was trouble getting out of the stadium and retaining walls and fencing at street level made small funnels and resulting log jams for walkers.

If our kickoffs do not improve we should just let Harvin punt the kickoffs which is legal and often used after a safety.

We made some plays in the first half but most of the stops came from errant passes and dropped passes. The QB settled in and the TN receivers started winning the contested catches. As the game went on we played worse and worse on D, as if we tired (even though CPJ says not tired). Tackling...

CPJ referred to a muscle pull during camp but said just before the game that he was OK.

Disagree about the D. Tn hurt themselves early in the game with errant passes and dropped passes. We made some plays but lost every contested completion. Poor tackling late in the game and forced no turnovers. NO PASS RUSH. Our D is still our big liability assuming the other kicker and some...

Defense appeared to play well in the first half but most of the stops were a result of some very poor throws (to open receivers) and a lot of dropped balls (some as a result of hits after contact by the DBs). There again was very little pass rush. The kicking game put us in bad field position...
