Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[85SugarVol]

Idk about week to week but they are significant improvements all over the field.

JG is playing better than i thought he would’ve at this point.
All our interior DL are playing very well.
We have 3 very promising young DBs.
Kirkland is healthy and doing good things.

I’m enjoying this. Losing Kennedy sucks. I wish he could’ve stayed an anchor at C.

Thoughts on Trevon Flowers vs Theo Jackson?

I agree that Bama won't fall apart. But Saban's a key driver. IDT Dabo or Pruitt could match Saban's success. With Saban gone, I think we'll see more parity at the top. It's nice to think UT could get back to that level... but it's a long way up from rock bottom.

As long as Bama keeps pulling a quarter of the top 100 every year AND having excellent coaching...no one besides maybe UGA is going to give them much trouble..they are rolling in recruiting just as much now, and stacking high 4s and 5s now too...and we get to play them every year too...yay Pruitt may have been insane to take this job. It will be a fine line between failure and sucess for him. If he can win a few he shouldn't the next couple of years, he might just get rolling himself, if not he will probably have to ho back to coordinating again for awhile...That is our situation, our fate and his are inextricably linked now.

Doesn’t ****ing matter what the spread is. Unless it’s a virgin.

I think Smith is set at LT and RJohnson at C. The rest of the OL will have to rotate. I think the DBs will rotate, too. My guess is they plan to stick with one QB, unless there's an injury.

I think Johnson has done ok at center considering he probably wasn't expecting to play much with Kennedy

I hate Florida.

Have a feeling they are going to stomp us.

Hall has always"looked" like a guard just based on build. Wide thick bulldozer type. Always thought he could be a better guard but JMO.

IMO, we could see Hall at right guard Saturday and Carvin sliding over to left guard.
Carvin played some on left side in last two games. Jamir Johnson will still play some, but he just seems so small out there. It would be great to have Hall for SEC play.

They might win but they're not capable of stomping us.

Don't think they are good enough to stomp us unless we give up multiple TDs on STs or defensive scores

Any thoughts on Vontae Davis pulling a Catbone on the Bills today?

Playing in the NFL is a job and should be treated as such. It’s inappropriate to walk out at half time, just like it would be inappropriate if we walked out of our jobs midday.

Yeah, he's the best we have now. He practiced at C all spring so he and JG were already comfortable with the exchange. Losing Kennedy hurt us at C and G, but for the most part, we've adapted. SEC play is going to be a tough test for the young guys, though.

Would love to see him as a safety laying out recievers

Safety is where Jennings should have been all along.

He’s a good college WR. He would have been an Elite Safety.

Nothing by either team so far has shown that Florida is capable of stomping us. Get rid of the loser mentality.

Total defense in NCAA:

Tennessee 14
Florida 43

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Total offense NCAA:

Tennessee = 76
Florida = 94

Zero chance they stomp us

Still think people are overvaluing UF. They're not a good football team, and Franks is an inconsistent QB. UF's edge over UT has been mostly mental. UF players believe they're going to find a way to beat UT and UT teams continually find ways to lose. For years, it's been a self-fulfilling prophecy-- and UT has to overcome that.

 

[vol2002]

I’ve watched enough Vol football the last ten years to know anything is possible, but I’d be pretty surprised if the Gators stomped us.

Pruitt is that guy that will have these guys mentally ready. If the Vols lose Saturday it wont be because they are in our guys head
