My general impressions

Post by historybill »

We have a passing quarterback who can't throw and a running quarterback who is a so-so runner.

Our offensive line is porous and our defensive line got pushed around by East Tennessee State.

Our running backs go down pretty much right where they are hit and don't punish tacklers. We don't have anyone even near as good as Zac Stacy, Ralph Webb or Ke"shawn.

Our defense stands there between plays looking dazed, not talking to each other, not encouraging each other. They also don't hit very hard.

We don't have a receiver who is nearly as good as whoever number 9 is for East Tennessee State.

Obviously Vanderbilt doesn't have a single player who could start for ANY other SEC team. Honestly... I don't think Vanderbilt has a single player who could have started for Vanderbilt during the Bobby Johnson or James Franklin eras. Our defensive line is especially bad... I shutter to think what Georgia, Florida, etc. will do to it.

I think this team goes 0-12.

While I mostly agree with this post, I do want to point out I think Davis ran hard and has potential to be great. Also, I think it was Barr, was adjusting defenders and making sure people lined up property. I appreciate their effort, however the fact that he had to correct players lining up period is a point of concern.
