[Hammer85]

A guy that knows gaps and the way running backs think and play AND likes to bust people up for fun?

I'll allow it.

Fire Helton!

This was said by Patrick Brown today:

"It's worth noting that cornerback Carlin Fils-aime, a running back the past two seasons, was with the running backs during pregame warmups before Saturday's game against No. 1 Alabama."

Missed that. Thanks for the info!

Interesting that the staff thinks they can get Banks ready to play at Lb this yr. I wonder if a lot of the has to do with they know his "want to", juice will be there and no doubt he will go 150mph whatever he is doing

How confident is everyone against South Carolina?

I actually feel we win this game. We play better on the road.

I would feel very confident, as in expect us to win, were it not for us being so beat up and jr having an extra week to prepare, rest, and heal. As is, I'm not very confident. Maybe 40% chance to win. I'm afraid we're going to be missing a few starters again.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

It's on Helton to live up to it, or not.

Agreed there.

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

When an agent gets you a million plus per contract? It’s not a “disservice”.

I'll reword it:

The University of Tennessee may have placed unfair expectations on Helton by giving him a top 10 salary despite having little experience implementing and running his own offense.

Soooo close.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Well, how hard is it to go from RB to LB? He definitely has the want to and would give us some much needed energy on that defense. Wonder how long before Banks can put it together

That's insane is what that is.

Banks look built to be a LB. Not saying he stays their but he sure has the body for one.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I love that ****.

The guy is a great teacher. Pointing out which foot to lead with on a tackle so your core is stronger is such a small detail that I would’ve never thought of.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Eh Kentucky showed them selves against Vandy imo. I think SC, Missouri, UK are all 50/50 games.

I agree on Vandy being 50/50, but Mizzou, SC and UK are 60/40 at best to me. I would move MU and UK to 50/50 odds if we beat SC.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I do think they are a good team. Pretty one dimensional on offense. I think they got their first passing red zone td of the year against Vandy. If the defense plays them like Auburn we got a chance.

I agree

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I think they’re closer to Tennessee, South Carolina, Missouri and Vanderbilt than the top 15 ranking they have.

I could be wrong. We’ll know in a month.

They play fundamentally sound football. We have yet to do that, our defense has a lot of soft porous spots, and we can't run the ball worth a lick or pass pro very well either. Vanderbilt is undermanned, they don't have the skill talent that we do, but they play better fundamental football more consistently than we do to this point.

We obviously can improve a lot still on the fundamentals, so if that happens we can be a good team.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't understand how they call the White hit on Fitzgerald targeting, but they don't call the Alabama hit on JG targeting.

I mean, I know why. I just don't know the official justification.

And the media will not press them on this. They never have, and never will call out the obvious pro-Bama bias in SEC officiating. It is so obvious it is sickening.

 

[engineerVOL]

It’s just getting these guys to believe and stop thinking so much. We’re plenty athletic and talented to whoop some teams left on our sked.

You notice me how hard we hit and fast we looked in the second half of the Barn game? Those guys were playing loose and having fun.

 

[Atzar]

Lots of respect for this.

Screaming never worked for me personally. Much rather a coach, boss, etc talk to me as an adult. The hollering always struck me as disrespectful unless I’ve done something to deserve it.

 

[T Dog]

Do you guy want to see more Byrd?
