1) Bray?
2) Is Bray fully healthy after injury last year?
3) Is Justin healthy?
4) Was DaRick better than we thought?
5) Dooley?
I can't figure this out. We have solid players, but every SEC QB has outplayed Bray. Our O-Line is full of NFL players, but we have to run out of the pistol? Why?
Thoughts?

Great coaching staffs win games because their players over achieve their own ability... Not Dooley!

That's the 5 million dollar question Hart &Co have to answer at the end of the year.

I'd like to see them pay more than that if it really answers the question

In my opinion the real problem is not playing for the T on the side of the helmet. Absolutely 0 passion from our team. The coaches havnt instilled it in them.

Coaches don't make team believe they could and should win. He is busy saying you guys can compete and stay close

Fewest sacks in the conference. Much improved run game. 9 interceptions, and many dropped passes. The preseason "strength" of this team is terrible. Yes the defense isn't great but Bray and the "best WR duo in the county" just can't get it done

I am really beginning to think that a major issue is player motivation. My reason for think this is that sentimore has been good but not great and because he has a reason to play hard he has a great game. I'm not saying all the players lack motivation but damn bray and hunter are way under achieving. There are a few others but I just don't see a true desire out of these guys to win. If bray throws an interception the reciever watches the defender run away rather than trying to stop him or get the ball back.

Why is it that whenever a player(s) doesn't play well, fans automatically assume they're playing for themselves and not the team?
