Or, he is confident in his players.

Wasn’t trying to imply that he wasn’t. You can be confident and not voice it. His reasoning for voicing it, whether true or not, is to instill some confidence. You have to be confident to be great. No matter what it is you are doing.

He is trying to instill confidence into the players.

Yep. He knows we collapsed last year and wants to try to mitigate it.

Didn’t know Hubbs had a bad ticker.

If feels like football outside.

Holy mother of pearl...trying to hold back too much optimism.

Jack Burton has a medical condition which I believe the Latin term is Cup Check CTE, or BVS in layman's terms.

Put on your athletic support! Cup Check University is about to kickoff the 2019 season.

This weather

Obviously you are not also putting up hurricane shutters in crazy humidity in south Florida as I am.

-Pruitt

That quote is shocking to me. He's been around a lot of good teams so he knows what they look like. Maybe he's just blowing smoke but that hasn't really been his style since he's been here.

Going to be an interesting year.

Be sage, crazyguy!

Edit: *safe, but also be sage

The season is gonna largely ride on this right here y'all. Can we break the top 100 on all these catagories?

 

[Vols4us]

A dozen years in football purgatory changes as of Saturday. Praying for those in FL in the path of Dorian. However, our sunny, crisp weather in East TN screams, "It's football time in Tennessee!"

Back to the Luck discussion-

I’ve become buddies with a guy who played in the NFL and basically didn’t stick because of injuries. We were talking this summer about his plans going forward- the cfl had a spot for him and he had some other options. In talking to him about the surgeries that he had gone through and all the rehab, it just didn’t seem worth it to me.

I can easily see how a guy like Luck would just want some of his sanity back. Being injured, sick, or in pain all the time is mentally exhausting. I have Crohn’s disease and it’s been rough on my family over the years watching the cycle of health and sickness- I can’t imagine how much worse it would be if it was also tied to my life’s work. These guys are fairly young, even Luck is only 29 and college guys even more so- let’s think twice before our ranting about how soft they are.

tl;dr Don’t throw rocks at houses you don’t understand.

Hot take, indy wins the division. I'm no indy fan, especially after Peyton left. But they have a really solid team and Frank reich is a good coach and brissett will benefit from that. I may actually try to draft him super late if nobody else does.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

This is what I’m talking bout. It’s game week.

@Big Gucci Sosa needs to create a thread and link all the losers. Once he finishes his daddy yoga class of course.

You all will be playing for second, the Ball Dips about to run this b!tch.

Lolllll

I’ll be rolling through the season like:

Boy that is a hot take


My hot take is Jacksonville wins it. I think that’s possible

If I were him, and I had money, my parents had money, and I had a degree from Stanford, I think I’d be pretty tired of playing hurt for Irsay.

He’s got “f@&$ you” money. If I had his bank account, I’d buy a place on St. Croix and post beach pics every day to rub you plebes’ faces in it until everyone put me on ignore. And then I’d buy Volnation from Freak and remove everyone’s ignore settings. And then post more beach pics.

That's the obvious choice, and they will probably be good if they tailor the offense to Foles strengths. Wouldn't be surprised if both make the playoffs. I don't think the titans or Texans will be good at all. I think indy is the most well rounded team with the best coach and a qb that I think will surprise a lot of people this season. He's been learning from Brady and luck and 2 really good coaching staffs for QBs.

I bet he moves quickly into a front office and becomes a gm sooner than later.
