Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Byrd should returning kicks and punts for sure. I don't get why they have who they have doing that right now. We need dynamic returners.

i'm not sure htat i'd describe anyone we have on the roster right now as "dynamic".

i'd settle for just getting the ball at the 25 and not giving it away.

i'm not necessarily to the point where you just throw 2018 in the trash can, but i do think i've gotten past the notion that there's things we "need to do" in order to make some significant changes to magically change the trajectroy of this season's results.

i don't see enough on this roster that says there's a whole of of difference to be made by who's taking snaps at QB, who's the Running back, who returns kicks etc, etc, etc........small gains? maybe. enough to say we're going to win 4 or 5 games the rest of the way? nope.

develop what you have, stay healthy, and when/if you find yourself in a positon to win games, take your shots. i just don't think we're very good. but really, to me, i'm moving on to the 'long game'. jmo.

Your two kids are way more important than ANY football. Including Tennessee football.
I totally support you.

My son is 16 and my daughter is 13. It goes so fast. You will always have the Vols. Your kids need their Dad and you need your kids. Best part of your life. Revel in this time with them.

Go Vols!

I like taking my two kids to the games.

I know this is pretty obvious to some people, but it doesn't matter who is back there at QB (JG, Chryst, Kelly Bryant, Hurts, whoever) because until the OL gets fixed those guys are going to get destroyed by decent defenses.

Is it possible to take 10 OL, 10 DL, 1 QB, 1 WR, 1 RB, 1 LB, and 1 CB in a recruiting class to try and fix the lines of scrimmage?

I'll hang up and listen....

I know this is in jest but you’d get major attrition as well as a bunch of dudes that probably need at least two years to contribute S/C wise.

I know we’re struggling but I still think we need a balanced recruiting class with resources directed at getting the best o/d linemen we can get.

SIAP. Interesting article how the team responded to losing to Florida.

Lip service. Means absolutely nothing.

I said the same thing to this girl on the corner, she said it was worth at least $20.

Based on what? He's a good athlete but has limitations as a thrower and I don't believe he wouldn't be able to run our offensive action. His splits are inflated against FCS and non ranked opponents.

He could certainly run around and make some plays with his feet. But could he make plays within the offense? I don't see it.

Based on we need playmakers in the worst of ways. Especially with our OL, we need a qb who’s lively in the pocket and can escape pressure. 99% of of QBs have limitations in some aspect.

He tried in camp, constantly fumbles and dances.

 

[bignewt]

This is where we all should be right now and for good damn reason.

great

London’s contributing but not to a point where you burn 3 or 4 years of a freshman you could theoretically take. Just my opinion.

And if JG goes down I don’t think there’s a big difference between Chryst and McBride in regards to contributing to wins.

There’s not a big difference in any of our QBs being out there imo.

Seems like Byrd has been given every chance and more to be successful here

Apologies on my Kentucky advice btw. Surprised the hell out of me.

If that didn't, nothing will.

Totally agreed. There would be if the line was good. But as is, they’re all going to be stunted by it.

shattered him. I'm cracked and broken. not yet shattered because I'm going to the game lol. I'm an idiot.

Does Shrout have the most upside out of our QBs?

It’s really hard for a lot of fans, especially at the stage we are at to admit that some highly touted guys...just aren’t good. And will never good.

No one knows. Kid has never played a game
