Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXI

[Bassmaster_Vol]

depends.
When you raised your shirt and screamed go vols, did he notice that the peyton tattoo on your chest, was spaced perfectly as to have the 2 vowels filled in by your nipples?
If he didn't notice, you're alright.

😂

 

[BJHSVol]

You think he's here in 2018 regardless of what happens next year? Yikes

I don't think he's here regardless, but I don't think he's at the point where an average 8-9 win season gets him fired

 

[MockingVol]

Lmao Minnesota

 

[RikidyBones]

Lmao Minnesota

Note to Minnesota: No one cares.

 

[all_volz]

Trey Smith just walked into the restaurant I'm at. He's massive. I patted him on the shoulder and told him "Go Vols." That makes me weird, doesn't it?

Did you scream like a 1960's school girl that just saw elvis or the beatles, now that would be weird.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Lmao Minnesota

Mark Richt...

You know what he has done

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Lmao Minnesota

With a new QB 8 or 9 wouldn't be too bad next year

 

[TechnoVol]

I know it's Lipscomb but the basketvols are showing some moxie in the second half. Were down by 15 earlier now up by 12.

Not athletic enough.

- message board talent guru

He isn't a top-tier athlete. Barnett is very much below average.

The thing about college football is guys that lack elite athleticism can be monsters. See Scobby Wright III.

I'm not saying Barnett will go in the 7th round like Scobby or fail to make an active roster during his rookie year. I'm just using that example to show that dominating statistically in college doesn't neccesarily mean you will dominate in the NFL.

With that said, I still see Barnett being a good NFL player even with his athletic limitations. I compare him to Charles Johnson (Panthers) or Michael Bennett (Seahawks) in the NFL. He'll be a solid starter for 10 years, however, I don't see him being a transcendent player like I see Myles Garrett being.

Myles Garrett has a chance to be Bruce Smith 2.0. He's got hall of fame talent.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Ha

Butch isn't going anywhere

Why not? Going 8-5 with this roster and expectations is UNACCEPTABLE.

He should've already lost his job for the debacle at Vanderbilt.

Its funny to me how accepting of mediocrity many on here are.

Myles Garrett has never proved anything. Why does he get crowned by everyone? It's all hype and production against garbage teams.

But he can jump really high in spandex shorts

It only takes a few plays to see what Myles Garrett is about.

He's athletically on a different level.

I see him as the next Bruce Smith. He'll define the DE position for the next 10 years.

He's a decent athlete. But nothing special on the NFL stage where freaks like Von Miller and Khalil Mack reside.

Myles Garrett is on that level of athlete. If not higher since he's taller and longer than Mack and Miller.

His bend around the tackle is ridiculous. May not run a 4.65 but he doesn't have to. He is athletic.

 

[Ertel]

I think barnett is a jared allen type, initially overshadowed by bigger names with better measurables but works his way into a dang good NFL career and is a borderline HOF'er. His motor is excellent and his getting to the QB ability is amazing.

Lmao but has never done anything. Sure he's athletic but he is soft.

In the past 5 minutes you've edited a post to go from saying "He's not athletic" to saying "He's a below average athlete" to "He's not a top tier athlete" to finally "He's a decent athlete"

Well that's because he doesn't really know what the hell he's talking about. So, there's that.

I'm not sure he will be overlooked, though. Everything I've seen has him as a top 10 pick.

Seen #7 to Carolina and #6 to Cincinnati just in the last couple days. He's getting attention.
