Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[85SugarVol]

JJ will go through the acclimatization period before practicing. When he's cleared, he'll be on the sidelines doing individual drills in a no-contact jersey.

Is he here? Cleared?

 

[UTProf]

dude has complained twice. Dana is a beta Male

If complaining makes you beta then everyone is beta. lol.

 

[SugarCC]

Yep!

I can't begin to describe how much I love this! Wish I had a nickel for every time I've watched it over the years. Totally epitomizes how we do here in the Volunteer State.
This was from an article last year (10 yr anniversary) on Cowboys website...
Yet, this game will always be remembered for one play – a 53-yard reception by Jason Witten, who did most of it without a helmet.
When Witten gets inducted into prestigious places such as the Ring of Honor and the Pro Football Hall of Fame, this courageous showing of toughness and desire will always be one of the first highlights shown of the Cowboys’ all-time leader in catches, receiving yards and games played.


GOAT.

Is he here? Cleared?

It generally takes two days after the NCAA receives his final transcripts, so it depends when those were delivered. IDT CJP will announce it or let it be a distraction during game week.

 

[JacketVol]

You have no clue who is/isn’t a terrible fit for our offense yet because we haven’t watched a damn snap.

40TD, only 10 INT, on 62% passing your first 2 years while also rushing for over 1800yards and OPOTY as a freshman. Sign me up for that any day.

He has clear limitations but c’mon guys use your brains

I am late to the party but HE CANT THROW DOWNFIELD. Needs to be in the slot.

Am I the only only one who thinks the weekly chat on VQ is kind of pathetic? I’ve been reading for a couple months now and I don’t believe I’ve learned anything from any of them. It’s just a bunch of guys posting similar questions and generally getting a vague response. Feels like middle school to me

It’s the slowest time of the year really

That’s true I guess.

 

[UTProf]

Soon, my brothers and sisters. Soon.

 

[JacketVol]

What’s absurd is you’re automatically penciling in JG as a for sure starter over Jalen Hurts if he came here when he has done absolutely nothing on the field or statistically better than Hurts.

That mo po fo can’t throw it and complete it more than 8 yards traveling in that space called the actual air and not the receiver taking it down the field using his LEGO’s

Need some fantasy football advice. PPR league, 1 point per reception, so receivers with high targets are extremely valuable. I get one keeper. Pick between the 3: Julio Jones, Michael Thomas, Zeke Elliot

Hard not to choose Julio. I'm generally big on RBS, but the cowboys' o line is in a lot of trouble with injuries. Zeke may have a down year without those hogs paving the way. I just think Julio is going to be more targeted than Thomas and should have more red zone opportunities.

I’d have a hard time not prioritizing a RB like Elliot over a WR.

Listen to this guy. don’t listen to me.

It’s a tough choice. I think I’m leaning more Julio because he only had 3 td’s last year. He’s pretty much guaranteed to have more this year barring injury

Imo, there is really no wrong answer here. Thomas is Brees main WR, now and will have 100 receptions. But, NO has a lot of weapons, which may hurt his TDs. Jones will have 100+ receptions and like somebody said, almost has to have more TDs, this year. But, Zeke should be the Man in Dallas, considering Dez is gone and Witten retired. Can't go wrong, but in the future, as long as Zeke stays out of trouble, he would be your best bet in a keeper league, imo

 

[SugarCC]

Laura Rutledge was on Finebaum today, and she was talking about being at UGA this past week. She said Kirby talked about the foundation Pruitt laid his 2 yrs there, and the effect it had on what they were able to do this past season.
Kirby knows what's up, and what's coming. He has seen the dominance of the Vols right up close and personal, and he also knows what kind of a coach Jeremy Pruitt is. Yeah, Kirby's trying to catch Saban; but I don't think it's Mullen or Muschamp he believes will be in his rearview...soon.

 

[RikidyBones]

No. Letting a first year coach of another program dictate how you run yours indirectly is beta.

 

[DancingVol]

1- you gotta have time to even unload the ball to the sidelines. JG went out every single play looking to throw to receivers, not out of bounds. Maybe if his priorities were switched, he'd have taken zero sacks and also thrown for zero yards and TD's.

2- QD was working behind an OL that hadn't yet been murdered by injury. I would really like the stats on who started where in which games, but based on guys currently on the roster, I see Richmond only played/started 7, and Tatum/RyJohnson/Niehaus/Brooks/Locklear starting 3 or 4 apiece. The OL against GT/Florida (where they still struggled) versus the OL against Bama/Kentucky/LSU/Vandy were completely different outside of Trey Smith.

I'll concede that there were absolutely a handful of times where JG hung onto the ball for too long, but I'm not going to go too far with that assumption.

Niehaus has yet to play in a game for UT. He had a red shirt his freshman year and took a medical last year due to injuries.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I studied ancient cultures and while the ancient Egyptians noted the coloration of people as did the Romans, what we call race today is a sad product of US slavery (mainly due to us trying to religiously and scientifically justify slavery).

Prior to the British need to make certain that indentured whites and african slaves never made cause to overthrow them in the US colonies 'race' as we know it didn't exist. Race was all about the man keeping us non-one percenters from finding common cause and overthrowing their asses.

Of course, once the whole race/divide and conquer by color thing took off every nation in the world with a ruling class jumped aboard to use it.

tl;dr - Blame the Brits!

Are you really a proffessor?

I would go Zeke for sure. He’ll be running angry this year after what happened last year and will get a lot of targets in the passing game too. Julio is the most overrated WR in the game.

 

[Rishvol]

tl;dr - Blame the Brits!

Done!

 

[UTProf]

Are you really a proffessor?

Yass.

In all seriousness, I do tend to oversimplify topics like this when outside of academia. There's no need for a long version on here since it's an off-topic tangent that only a few people are interested in. If you're really interested in how race as a concept was constructed I can probably come up with a reading list for you.

Done!

It's the American way. I'm glad you're a true American.

 

[ChattaTNVol]

There are 63 different guys listed on the 2-deep published yesterday which suggests there are only 7 remaining seats on the “bus” to Charlotte.

Any volunteers?

 

[bcmbvol]

You honestly think “we” invented “othering” (as they say in social sciences) based on skin color? Turn off CNN Prof, you don’t have to hate yourself.
