Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

Think we'll need Banks more at RB. Fix the fumbling and he'll be a good one for us.

This. People who keep putting Banks at LB are making the list.

 

[Volfanatic_20]

That would be very surprising. Coaches don't typically take demotions to off field role from their current employer. Can't think of one where that has ever happened, can you? They either leave voluntarily or get fired.

Nope, again not basing this off any previous occurrence. Your probably right. I know you mentioned 3 names but do you have a gut feeling on who may go?

 

[bignewt]

I'd be more worried that Rumph or Sherrer leaving for a DC position than Fair leaving for one.

Umm Sherrer is the DC now.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Banks is a RB.

 

[LouderVol]

He's been lifting heavy objects over and over again.

Da'Rick Rogers approves this message

I don't. But If one leaves it'll likely be one of those three.

Can't see Sherrer leaving his buddy Pruitt for a lateral move after one season, that seems highly unlikely.

Steve Stripling stepped into an admin role from coaching while here

I like the kicking game so not very impressed.

Yep, without the kicking game 1/3rd of the game is gone. It can also be a game changer in so many ways.

Yeah, I know that. I mentioned Sherrer because he might want to be a DC on his own since many think Pruitt runs the D. Although, it might be the same with Stoops at KY.

That’s true.

I'm leaning towards Rocker for some reason. Don't know how much he really still wants to be coaching at his age and the DL recruiting hasn't lived up to his hype. Still early and the DL should be a priority in the next class just not sure how much he wants to grind day in and out.

 

[Kinglberry]

Lol. Just an opinion.

You prefaced your statement as an answer, not an opinion.

 

[1955bamavol]

I always wondered where the name "football" came from, since it's such a minor part of the game. Soccer is football to the rest of the world.

We should rename it runball, passball, American rugby, something else?

The game begins with the foot.

 

[AllVol11717]

I like the kicking game so not very impressed.

To be fair, there will still be punts and FGs so the kicking game isn't being wiped out entirely. The kick-off is basically already dead in the NFL anyway.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Peyton needs to get back in shape.

-Hymens

Ummmm, "hymens"?!? Are you speaking of Hyams or something else entirely?

 

[BearCat204]

Really wouldnt want to lose Rocker

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Can't remember who mentioned it, Hubbs maybe.. said that Melvin McBride actually looked like the most game ready of the incoming olinemen.

He will play I think 6'4" 315+...this OL class is really good, like -really- good.

 

[SLICKYINC]

Ummmm, "hymens"?!? Are you speaking of Hyams or something else entirely?

*Jimny

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

That's when the big AAF-XFL merger will happen.

Nah the XFL would merge with lingerie league before them.

 

[snowvols]

SIAP: Both Jeff Scott and Tony Elliott got bumped up to $1 million salaries. Venables is making $2 million.

Unpopular opinion:
Kicking is overrated and the least interesting thing in football

Me dodging y'all's shots the rest of the day:

I don’t like your opinion and think it’s wrong. I hate penalties, reviews, halftime, timeouts, etc. Kicking game is extremely exciting in the game of FOOTball. Punts downed inside the 5. Kickoffs get your heart pumping. Field goal for the win... stresses the importance of even the weakest of teammates being incredibly valuable.

 

[delfonic]

Waiting for stuff to happen is the least exciting part of football. If the game was changed to utilize technology so we didn't have to wait for human judgement calls, it would be awesome.

 

[engineerVOL]

I’d like to see the XFL implement a penalty box like hockey. Guy goes to the box for unsportsmanlike. Imagine the anxiety knowing a defender could get released from the sideline midplay and lay out a ball carrier completely unannounced

I think that missed calls should be able to be reviewed and the refs would have to apologize to the players and fans for their ineptitude and pay a fine.
