If Swann plays - I have hope.
So Lebby said postgame that Swann is day to day...
- Thread starter dawgstudent
- Start date
We actually looked like a relatively competent football team when he was out there. I honestly think we could beat Vandy and Auburn if he plays.
Insert Morgan freeman hope gif here
I don't hold much hope of a QB standing on the sideline with his throwing arm in a sling of playing anytime soon.
Oh yeah. Lebby will run him out there with a bad shoulder and watch him throw a couple picks and then pull him. Then say " we thought he was good to go"
Probably “gamesmanship” by Lebby. If they lost him as out then planning becomes a lot easier for Vandy. I’ll be surprised if Swann plays.
Just curious, how could Lebby possibly know that he was day to day, at that point?
Hope he can play.
Hope he can play.
I'm fine with him not playing vs LSU but the decision to not play him vs Oklahoma is criminal.
On the ESPN broadcast, Jesse Palmer said Swann had an ankle injury and the staff didn't think he was good enough to go against LSU or Oklahoma. Take that for what's it's worth.
Yeah. Another qb was day to day for a month but never close to any condition to actually play before he finally injured it so bad he had to have surgery.
How da fook would he know his status at postgame? He hadn't even seen a doctor yet. That's just more Heavy Lebby coachspeak.
Y'all remember Croom's final year in 2008 we played Vandy at home and it was about the ugliest game in SEC history (other than the 3-2 game)? We snuck out a 17-14 win despite Tyson Lee's 81 passing yards. That's how Saturday is going to be if Puckett starts. Hopefully our defense comes to play and we can ugly out another win.
I think with Lebby, words like "Layups" and "Day to Day" are just words that we use and have no real meaning. He could swap them with "I don't know" and I would respect him more.
I have never coached football and could prepare for Puckett
One thing for certain. Their defensive backs don’t have to worry about anything beyond 10 yards down field. You would think a seasoned head coach would scheme up an entirely different simple offense for a QB who can only throw the ball 15 yards and that includes the 7 yards he is standing behind the line of scrimmage. So I real HC would make significant adjustments to his style of play, maybe working in a lot of option football and using 2 tight ends to help his tackles block the edges.
Good thing we have a real head coach not a lifetime coordinator inappropriately given a head coach job by his friend because of familiarity......
K1 was day to day til he wasn’t. The great story teller. One who floats, said Taylor wasn’t out for the year three hours before Lebby announced…. He was out for the year
Why do we doubt Swann was injured?
It's not like the coaches can't see the offense is better with him vs. Puckett.
Do we really think our coaches are so dumb that they can't tell Swann is better and held him out? I'm dubious of that.

It’s the latest fad word for coaches so he makes sure to use it as often as he can. It’s like strain or intentional.

You would think he could design a package for his true freshman QB who is suppose to have a live arm and quick release. Or I would anyways
I suspect the FR & Rashada are both nowhere near ready to throw into a sec game even for 1 play. We better hope Puckett can stay healthy, no matter how pathetic that sounds.
It does sound pathetic. There is no reason a 3 star QB that was here for spring camp is not as ready to play as a second year walk on. Especially when you take into account the Swann was injured in the spring and fall.
Swann completed 2 passes that traveled more than 10 yards downfield in the air. Half of his other completions were at or behind the LOS. Teams are just going to keep 6 in the box and let us feed Fluff without any deep threat. This offense is completely ineffective when you take away the deep ball, and don’t have a running threat at QB. We’ve got to have one of those things as a threat at all times, and we’ve had neither since K1 went down.
He may be a better option than Puckett, but it doesn’t seem like he’s better by much. Still couldn’t score in the 2 quarters he was under center. I’m personally not all that excited about an already injured Swann being available.

Whoever lets this guy take the field again behind this offensive line should be prosecuted for attempted murder.
That still better than 17 out of 21 behind the LOS & only 2 completions past the LOS.
Me either, but I coached my son's T-ball team (because nobody else wanted to) when he was 5 or 6. The first year we were 1-11; second year with the same kids, 11-1. Talk about development capability! **
all I've heard from podcasters is that he was hurt in the spring and hurt in the fall and they've been trying to get him ready to go.
What were his injuries? All Lebby said preseason is the K1 had to remain upright or healthy to start 13 games, so he knew we didn't have a backup which is another reason to let him go.
Not that he wasn't banged up at any point, just that he was not able to play until just now.
Swann hasn't been on the availability report all season. So he was "available" but not enough to come in against OU but then coincidentally as soon as it's clear Billy can't get it done Swann is miraculously healed enough to practice full go all week and start? No way.
Its much more plausible that Lebby believed Billy the gamer would "create predictable outcomes" and "make the layups" so he played him instead of Swann who yeah probably missed some practice time in the preseason with a boo boo.
Neither is very good. At least Billy can run. He might get better if he gets more experience but I would rather play Brodie. But Lebby is gonna Lebby. He will give you a consistent outcome.
We’ve never seen Brodie. I criticized Lebby for weeks for playing Puckett I’ve Swann. But we had seen Swann play. He is a very experienced player, even if mediocre. But it’s asking a lot for a lightly recruited true FR to come into the sec. I hope he’s as good as you think he is & he can take the job & help us. But I think we’re just screwed.
Oh I dont know if he is good. Lebby recruited him. His scouting report says quick release, strong arm, yada yada. I would still like to see him out there. He may be our starter next year for all we know. I mean you got an injured Swann, a walk on Billy and you aint even considering the guy you recruited and signed that has been thru spring and fall camp ???
Exactly, but why are we not telling the very fans who fund this debacle that he was injured. That's why we doubt things, because they don't tell us anything.
It's apparent that Lebby just punted on QB recruiting last cycle. Filled up the room behind Kamario with clipboard holders that wouldn't cost any additional NIL money.
Well, you get what you pay for... Not a single quality back up and a stack of L's.
