Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[#JuanVol]

Is Tyler bray on 104.5 right now?

 

[HankHill]

Lol he was reponding to your post that had all their star ratings.

You also dismissed his post by saying you "need to see more impact on the field" to know if they are on that level. Well, we know where Butch's recruits are by the evidence on the field, so by your own inconsistent consistency of logic, you should fully understand, and he has you beat.

The whole point was I’m not calling a class that’s starting 0-2 with a loss to GA stage at home better than one that had a lot of instant impact guys that went on to have nfl careers.

Is it too early? of course. This class could very well turn out better. But which new comer can you look at and say wow that dude is instantly a difference maker. Maybe Henry T? That’s who I’m highest on.

First time in a while we aren't the CBS 3:30 spot.

We weren't last year or in 2014.

Noon at the swamp. Whew. Hope those temperature signs that have been hanging at the practice field for a month have them ready.

I like the noon games. You can enjoy the rest of your day.

It will be warmer in Knoxville this week than Gainesville.

Hmmm

For whatever reason my Saturdays always go to **** after watching the Vols play

 

[butchna]

He’s a troll

Bruin...if he had qualifying jobs. Argumentative for argument sakes...but certified.

I see
BT, Alontae, Gray, HT, Wanya, Darnell, Crouch and Burrell all contributing as Sophomores and Freshmen and see all with draft potential. All recruited by Pruitt. All showing signs. We’d all be much more excited about those guys if we had an average QB, who’d have us at 2-0.

Of the 9 mentioned only Fulton, James, Palardy are even still in the league...

You should be able to beat ga state with bass at QB

 

[butchna]

Just stop it with the troll bs.

Surely to goodness at this point any discussion of what the future mighty hold isn’t trolling. None of us freaking know for sure

Trolls state “facts” and “ask questions” and heavily employ crutch cliches like “orange goggle” to counter differences to their narratives. Know anybody like that?

 

[JacketVol]

I don't think @Kingston Vol is advocating firing Pruitt. I just think he doesn't have much confidence that it's going to work. I feel much the same way. We've all seen this movie before and many of us have a hard time seeing a different ending. I need to see something on the field to change my mind. I'm not seeing it. Did the Vols play harder Saturday? Yes. Did they execute better? Maybe slightly. I'm in the believe it when I see it mode. I really like Pruitt but I am 100% sure he wasn't ready to be the head coach at the University of Tennessee and the learning curve is steep. @LA Vol has alluded to a lot of hand holding on the part of Fulmer trying to "tutor" Pruitt. I'm just not sure it's going to work out like we ALL want.

The OL overall executed the best I’ve seen in a long time against much older guys which was a big concern of mine. That was with a stacked box and JG being incapable of stretching the defense. Younger guys growing up. You are looking at the bad and missing the good. Got to keep getting better and wins have to come but GS just kills any narrative that is positive. Need to win two OOC and 3 sec games. Would still be 5 wins but if we stay in the game against the big boys then that will be what I’m lookin for. Another GS debacle and he is done.

Auburn was a noon kick last year

Rogers had a cup of coffee in camp but gets counted as a “NFL player”. Jets’ll hire anybody.

I'm just sick that we couldn't get Jalen Hurts. Man, just imagine if he was here. I need to forget it. But we're talking about FINALLY getting over a major hump with him at QB. If Bailey is who we hope he is, we'll be back sooner rather than later. QB makes up for a lot. We haven't had one since Dobbs.

 

[butchna]

I’m not saying bench Ty. He’s the homerun threat.

But Gray should be the bell cow, running between the tackles and eating up yards.

I’m thinking something like White & Bush in ‘04-‘05

Neither of these guys are 30 carry workhorses. What’s wrong with a Chubb/Michel situation?

He started 3 games for the colts one year and caught a couple TDS. Do you watch?

 

[JacketVol]

Not to make an excuse and I haven't rewatched it to confirm, but I think they missed a PI on that play. I believe right when Palmer separated from the DB he was grabbed on the hand or something similar and it took him a step to regain speed. I remember this because the next play we benefited from the phantom facemask when the BYU DL grabbed our RB near the helmet

They had already missed two other facemask and were being given heck so they already owed us that.

You just keep changing the subject.

 

[awaitingawin]

Random stats from pff:

Byu ran inside zone on 72% of their run plays while averaging
trey had highest pass pro grade
Burrell targeted in coverage 6/7 60 yards had lowest pass coverage grade 2nd straight game.

I

I left Trey out of my "Players of the Game" post.......didn't even recognize it

I blinked that year, apparently.

Hurts made the right choice for himself, but yeah we’d be looking pretty nice right now with him.
