Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

I'd like to play him and let Calloway just play WR.

I think he means coverage not returns. But I still agree. I thought Callaway looked timid last year compared to 2017.

Interesting Hype Vid...

WTF

Who directed that...Eli Roth?

 

[drvenner]

Booom!!! Oh, and lol at Jimmy Hyams

What did he say?

 

[butchna]

Is Tua gonna hold up the whole season? Who is Bama's backup QB?

His lil brother or the Bear’s grandson.

 

[Big Sun]

Bear IV or his brother

Two freshmen, huh. That will be an interesting dynamic to watch.

The titty drop was a lot to process...

Jacksonville State is on that Butch Jones honor system workout program.

 

[Devo182]

We have a 10 win offense and a 5-6 win defense.


That equals 7-5 or 8-4

Pretty much. S&P+ has us as a top-15 offense and top-50 defense. Not far off last year difference-wise, but both predicted better. We were 38th on offense and 72nd on defense last year.

I’m not a fan at all of ignont or Reid. I’d say play banks early and often

Ignont will step up.... maybe we will see JJ step up too

You're correct, I read what I wanted to read. Agreed, let someone like Keyton or Gray handle the PR duties.

 

[drvenner]

Had a choice of positive or negative. Took the trail he knows.

Look for him to be critical of the decision to let Trey play.

I think Pruitt boosts the defense a little. Coordinators are generally a little overrated in terms of what they bring to the table but very good ones can be difference makers and I think Pruitt is one. I know he's not the DC but he will be involved.

Pruitt seems to be in a good mood today. WGWTFA

Trenches just got significantly better in the past 24 hours.

I was not going to watch it. Now, I have to.

Does anyone know the name of the sports bar in Fort Lauderdale that a VN member just opened? Thanks!

 

[Devo182]

I’d dock 1 win your attributing to the offense but that’s a good way to look at it. I don’t think our offense is good enough to score enough on UF, UGA, and Bama’s defense.

If the OL is good enough, our QB, skill guys, and OC are top-4 in the best conference in the country. Scoring "enough" is merely a product of the defense and, in our case, the limitation of our DL. If the DL can be anything but bottom-4 (top 10) in the conference, I think we'll be just fine. Given our inexperience and lack of proven D1 talent, I think that will be the most interesting area to watch and is not a given. Rocker will earn his pay or not.

Will be in New Orleans this weekend. Anyone know good places to watch the game or UT bars?

Of course I was joking, but physical attractiveness is very important to most guys. Myself, I have a long history of being attracted to The Crazy Ones because they are crazy. I guess somewhere in my subconscious, I think that I can be more useful and more essential in their lives if I can help to buffer self-destructive tendencies.

That's why I'm an old Bachelor.

I figured you were. I completely get it. I liked some crazies myself. But the toxic fighting really gets old. The female version is "Oh, I can change him. I can save him." I just ended up raising my daughter by myself and it was definitely the right decision. I hate to see someone with talent throwing it away for a bad relationship. I think the Mama in me just always wonders how things could be better for people with better guidance. I know it isnt all cut and dry. Hopefully BT will learn from his mistakes, get the help he needs and be able to stay.

Lots of posters have asked for prayers around here lately and I want to ask everyone here to pray for Trey Smith. Not to benefit us but to stay healthy!

Prayers up ladies and gentlemen!

Nice take.

Jimmy Hymens needs to develop anal fissures like Kevin from The Office or Count Choculitis

I could be 100% wrong here, but I expect that would mean having him off his meds. Jmo but I think the staff was keeping him on them until the very last possible moment. Ga St is no more than a scrimmage. Then he has a week to practice and play a legit opponent, and so on.

They did something similar last year, taking him off and clearing him 2 weeks to go, before a ranked WVU. He eventually had to go back on them. I think, due partially to that outcome, they are pushing the date back as far as possible.

Reading between the lines I would say but they have him on a much more complicated regimen than that. The effects of a blood thinner don't stop immediately like you're turning off a switch. I do know that there is a 2 week time period between taking aspirin and giving blood because of the blood thinning effects. It sounds like he has seen the best specialist in this country and they have worked out a regimen and precaution that will do everybody the best good.

 

[VolInDayton]

If we're judging vs Ga St, I'm pretty sure we controlled both lines vs UTEP and ETSU.

We only put up 24 on UTEP. All I know is we have had too many close games against bad teams since 2016 and that needs to change. We need to get backups in when we have a gimme.
