Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXII

[InVOLuntary]

Are you a Dotson?

No. Married Charlie's dad's sister.

Are you thinking of Maggie and Angela?

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Sup, fellas? :zeitung_lesen:

Everything is falling apart!!

Butch Jones and his staff still can't adjust and Jalen Hurd hates it here and we're going to lose to Vanderbilt and I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE! ARRRRGHHHH!!!

 

[NMVol]

What's 74 saying? Will Hurd transfer to Pittsburgh or Duke?

Edit: I can hear the announcers now. "Jalen played his first to years at Tennessee but transferred and sat out a year because he didn't like the offensive scheme."

Heck I got complaints about the sod.

Go read the "Hurd All SEC" thread in the FF forum.

Yeah...their mom was the only sister I met. I think their were a set of younger twin girls though

 

[chavisut]

The problem of systems featuring a particular star player is that the loss of said player is death to the season. We don't yet know whether Butch will get it or not, but, not being dependent on guys like Chubb or Fournette or super star quarterbacks put you in position to remain more consistent through injuries. We've seen what happened to UGA without Chubb (even with highly rated guys on standby) and I think the same fate would befall LSU sans Fournette. Can't say whether Butch will get it done thinking that way, but I like the intent.

This offense wouldn't go far without Hurd right now IMO.

Yes, I married one of the twins.

Must I.

 

[PainDocVol]

Lol...like I said...there is always someone from Clintwood

 

[loggervol]

ff'n it up in here right now......

 

[InVOLuntary]

Must I.

There is a ton of doo doo to try a bring it over here. Summary: Hurd's not happy. Doesn't like the offense. Was promised some more pro set plays from under center and it's not happening. Tired of getting hit behind the line about every time. Tired of running left and right. Tired of not knowing if he's getting the ball untilDobbs gives it to him. General frustration.

I'm from Knoxville. Met her in college.

 

[AV_12]

Him and Dobbs go hand in hand imo


The threat of both makes it work

Thanks for the summary. I am not sure I would like to play the role Hurd was asked to play in the 4th quarter Saturday night running into a stacked box. Tactically it may have served its purpose but why subject one's elite players to a game of attrition? There is the other side. At some point for Jones' system to work we must consistently control the line of scrimmage. Philosophically I can understand why Jones' doesn't scheme to exploit match ups. The real question is, how long can he "afford" to scheme this way?

 

[Dooby15]

With all this talk of our system, just realized the pistol formation from the past 2 years has not been used at all this year.

I believe Kamara's big run against BG was from the pistol. Only one I can recall. Was Hurd's fumble against UGA from the pistol?

 

[volamite86]

Hurd isnt going anywhere. Nothing to see here. Just move along.

Oh you are so wrong..










He's going to Atlanta next year and he's takin the Vols with him.

 

[BaldBiker]

Then the Play Offs.

Then the NC Game.

And then they're going to Disney World!

The only acceptable argument right here.

 

[volatil]

Even the Pros are getting away from the traditional "Pro Style Offenses"

 

[SSVol]

Agreed, but that's more on the OL than the system.

 

[Catbone]

Agreed, but that's more on the OL than the system.

THIS! Yes, the scheme is not perfect for Hurd, but the OL is just THAT bad. Henry and Fournette would not be doing any better behind this crap blocking.

 

[The Breakerboy]

Dobbs is the most important piece to this offense. Hurd is definitely a huge piece though. I think a RB by committee approach could survive him. Without Dobbs this running game is dead. We wouldn't even make a bowl without him.

 

[Vol464]

Trav also said if Hurd would embrace the scheme instead of trying to change it then he would eat and that is what he should do. Stop trying to instigate and blow this up even more Bruin. You are not telling the whole story and that is worse than what 74 said. I don't care who it is but if Butch is any kind of coach then a player or family will not hold him hostage.

But he LIVES to instigate.

Much of the last long touchdown drive against Florida was from the pistol, with Hurd behind Dobbs. It was a thing of beauty to see Hurd hit a hole at full speed and just move people. I wish they would run from that formation when they're trying to close out a game.
