Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXII

[Aesius]

Bill Simmons was Grantland.

They had several talented writers on staff.

We've recruited pro style receivers for a spread offense.

Well that certainly sounds reasonable. Please explain the difference between a "pro style" receiver as opposed to a receiver more suited to a spread offense.

Love that movie!

What movie is this?

 

[RockyTopInBham]

Wow. ESPN just killed Grantland.

Journalism is circling the drain faster and faster everyday.

Saddening. Grantland was the last glimmer of journalism ESPN offered. Hope they get picked up by HBO and reunite with Simmons.

Foster be like:

Foster. Australian for whiner.

I'm sure the glaring deficiencies in this hypothesis, such as the lack of 6 year players across the NCAA, won't prevent this medical redshirt debate from dragging on for another 5 pages.

But, I wouldn't think it is a surprise that ESPN is cutting it because Simmons is gone. Not sure how that contract or agreement worked, but it was Simmons' deal.

If the site still drew eyeballs and ad revenue, they would keep it with or without Simmons. People just don't care about long-form journalism anymore. They would rather read celebrity gossip or clickbait lists.

Love that movie!

'Twas a great one.

Remember when M. Night used to make awesome movies?

Sixth sense, Signs, Unbreakable were all awesome.

The village was pretty good too.

Lady in the Water was terrible. Last Airbender was also not good

The happening I thought was ok. Not that good. But not horrid. IMO

Haven't seen his new one. The Visit.

 

[butchna]

And you know his medical chart this fall?


I don't either but I know for a fact there are Medicals given every year that are in the "gray" area

Keep in mind any injury that can be used for a medical has to have already happened

It's simple...they were going to redshirt him and they lost Tuttle. Now they need him in the rotation. Third stringers will play extensively against North Texas. He's a third stringer. Trying to steal a year for him is ancillary.

The happening was pretty bad. I have heard good things about the visit.

Good Receivers are good receivers.

You could Calvin Johnson in the slot of a June jones offense and he is going to destroy it.

Marques Colston played strictly inside in New Orleans. He's 6'5 230.

It's all about getting the guys the ball on time. We haven't been doing it. Has nothing to do with us recruiting "pro style WRs"

He played against WCU thus the injury discussion.

Let him play and get injured then...or let him play period.

Injury now won't help with RS which I assume is what u meant


Past the 50% mark

So what's your angle on not playing him then and gambling on it?

Agreed

 

[WarMachine]

I love Joshua Dobbs for many reasons, but I rewatched the UGA game and there are waaay too many times when his inaccuracy hurts us. If I could add .1 to his 40yd dash time in order to increase his accuracy by 10%, I'd do it all day.

I think his inaccuracy is a big, big reason our receivers aren't having the year they should be having. If QD or SJ know the offense and earn CBJ's trust, and if either of them are significantly more accurate than Dobbs next year, would you still make Dobbs your starter?

 

[WarMachine]

In addition to this, accuracy may be directly related to time available before being flushed out of the pocket. So, maybe Dobbs will be better next year with continued improvement of the OL.

He's not obtuse, just big-boned.
