Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Idk what the deal with that dude is from a strength and conditioning standpoint. He looked like a tight end when he got here, he looks like a tight end now. He gets out there and just gets tossed around.

There were reports of him being 300 in the spring

I have been a big fan of his but so far I have been very wrong about him becoming a good one

Good post.

This stat is subjective as Hank previously posted, however, you get a general idea from it. It is clear that UT fans are harder on our O-line than we ought to be by comparison. Especially considering the staff and scheme change from the garbage of last year. I contend that pass pro improvement is simply playing the right G(s) and getting quicker coverage reads from the QB.

I've said all year that we could pass pro, we're just not very good at run blocking and yet Helton is determined to run an inordinate amount.

It’s probably because of his frame. He gained 15-20 pounds from the end of last season to spring and coaching obviously hasn’t helped when he arrived. He’s been up to around 290/300 now, when he arrived he was like 250/260 iirc

If he's 300 pounds then Dolly Parton is a B cup. He looks thin to me. Maybe we can get him developed.

I think that's Pruitt wanting to shorten the game

Probably but we're so ineffective at running/run blocking right now that it only speeds up the game.

WVU offered up this beaut.

I am not sold on Helton at all but I am torn at who is behind all the 1st down runs

4wd over the vette all day.

Tatum was up to 290 until he missed most of last season. Coming off a medical RS year, he's still undersized. He needs another year of S&C... but right now, he's what we have.

I recall VQ reporting he was 298 in spring practice this year.

Feel pretty Certain that is what they reported

gonna get destroyed up front.

Maybe so... but he doesn't look 12-15 lbs bigger than Niehaus or JJohnson.

27. JS. The rivalry is not relevant. It's a thing of the past.

So was Vandy

Love the optimism...

Hey, look at it this way, it will be like our O line playing against AL's D line, but all other positions will be competitive... calling KC...

Can't lie. I'm 29 and that's my view of it as well. Hell, Florida ain't even a rivalry right now. We aren't consistently beating Vandy. I just feel hatred everyone other team, no sense of rivalry at all.

I'd like to see them side by side upclose but Tatum seems taller than both to me

 

[Z06VolinWV]

Soccer?

DOnt get me started! My youngest son plays, and actually quite good. He's 8, playin 11u. Dumbest sport ever imo! This was my wife's doing.

Sorry. As long as Bama is on the schedule every year that game is a rivalry. I didn't hear Bama fans, or UT fans, saying the game was no longer a rivalry when UT won 7 in a row.

And I am not sure how you can consider UF a rivalry and Bama not a rivalry, since UF has won 13 of the last 14, so not much different than Bama's streak of 12.

Lol. Just giving you a hard time. Good luck to him tomorrow.

Going to be surprised if we can get any kind of a running game going with this group tomorrow night. Part of me would like to see some of Chryst because I think he can get us in better looks.

 

[Smokey123]

Meh. Scar is small and weak upfront too. It’ll be the blitzes that kill us, and it’s been that way mostly all year

 

[Vfl2407]

if Banks pulls down an interception, let's hope he laterals the ball back to a teammate.

Well played

Need to get Chandler in space. Use Jahmir Johnson’s athleticism as a lead blocker
