Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[Ron Swanson]

When is our first scrimmage?

Sunday

 

[Rishvol]

Got curus about McKenzie so looked him up and this is what sbnation said about his from last night

• Good to see Kahlil McKenzie getting 37 snaps against other players. When I zoned in on McKenzie during the game, it appeared his technique no doubt needs some work, but he looked like an absolute wall. Kudos to the Chiefs for starting the project and I’m eager to see where it goes.

Bama East...

I'm really confident in the direction I think we're headed with this staff, but I'm also pretty confident that UGA is going to be hell
on wheels for the foreseeable future. We're going to have to recruit at least close to that level if we're going to consistently compete with them in the future IMO. At the very least we need to be stacking top ten classes on top of one another.

I park across the river and walk y'all. Fo free, right in front of the jfg coffee sign.

When I hear JG has put on 20 pounds of muscle, I just wonder what on earth he was doing with the weights in HS and obviously two years with Butch. Beginners can just look at the weights and gain that, but if you’ve been training remotely intelligently for a few years, that rate of gain is nowhere close to that, unless you have a huge frame.

Reminds me of when Bray declares for the draft and got huge in a couple of months

Thanks Butch

Nope.

Nick is stuck in a time warp again, somebody throw him a line.

 

[zhangliao04]

He grows on you a little bit. He did for me at least.

Not my style at all and he has plenty of flaws, but he cares about his dudes.

Yeah, I can see that. Extremely rash dude, though. Definitely not my style as well.

One of the things Ainge never got around to today was breaking down the number of plays for the touch list. I looked at Chandler, Fils-Aime, and Jordan in the Kentucky game and then took a swag at everything else. I'm pretty sure this is not an exact science just an idea of what you're shooting for to get your playmakers involved in the game. The rule is "Think Players, Not Plays." So what would you do? You have 70 plays to distribute among your playmakers. Do you think we should bump up Jennings and Callaway to 10 targets each? If so, who do we take those touches from?

Those targets are fine for the outside WRs. I take targets away from the slot and give to TE

Way too much focus on RB’s. Balance that out with JJ and Callaway over 10 each and TE’s up over 10 as well. Having said that, I’ll bet our number of plays go down quite a bit in the new system.

It’s a two way street that we have to decide which benefits more. Our offense is going to be built around easy throws. (Screens, swings, mesh concepts, run outs etc) so it’s going to be important to get the ball in certain people’s hands enough times, because we won’t take many opportunities on chunk plays. I want players like chandler, Calloway, etc to have more opportunities than others.

Good question though.

I've eaten camel and kangaroo before... cant really judge someone who ate goat.

Fyp.

I hope he ball's out. And rep UT on TV.

Yeah, I posted it and went to do something else. When I grabbed my phone again, the reply box was still there with the text so I thought maybe I missed the button

Just saw the 2001 SEC Championship game coming on and immediately turned the channel. It made me realize that I am still not over that game.

Some things you can’t see twice. Florida losses are in that list. Bama games... last year I didn’t even watch for the first time in forever.
It’s like plumbers crack. Sure, we all know it’s there, but do I really need to subject myself to seeing that?

Who knows what happens if we win our 3rd SEC Championship in 5 yrs, and play for our 2nd National Championship in 4 yrs? Still the worst loss we've had in maybe the last 50 yrs, imo. I believe that was the night we caught some bad ju ju, that still infects us today. Phil and the other 3 couldn't ease the sting of that night, but I believe Pruitt finally gets us past it

We only averaged 61 plays a game last year. Too many sacks and too many 3 and outs. Throw in far too much rushing success by our opponents and you get games like lsu where we had (iirc) 9 offensive possessions, a ridiculously low number, not helped by Calloways fumbles in the return game.

Yeah that's over 300 touches for Chandler in a 13 game season. Since season stats include bowl stats now, the majority of stats you see from productive players are 13 game season stats...sometimes, like Derrick Henry's monster season, they are 15 game seasons....all of which muddies the water for comparative analysis.

Anyway, there's one thing I can guarantee about this upcoming season....amidst all the unknowns....no one running back is getting 300+ touches this season. I wonder if Chandler has that kind of durability anyway, he does run hard, so hard he knocked himself out on a collision last year.

I look for a much more even split amongst Jordan, Chandler, london, and fant. Fullbacks/H-backs and TE will get more than you or ainge anticipate...imo

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

She's avg'd 25.5 wins a season; but, her last 3 seasons have been worse than her first 3, where she won more each yr. I get it, I do. Maybe Phil will light a fire under her with this extension. She's has as much talent there now, and coming in, as anyone, so...Final Four next two yrs, or she's got to go.

Not trying to sound like a negative Nancy, but she’s not making a Final 4. Have you watched her teams play any? She is a fan like us on the sidelines. She has no idea what she is doing. This will be her 7th year and still has no answer facing a zone defense. She has had scuds of talent and can’t get it done. A couple more years won’t change that. Her teams play backyard ball. With the talent she has, Phil needs to tell her either win the SEC this year or make the Final 4, or get out.
