Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[engineerVOL]

I’m just so confused. Lol. How?

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Man this atmosphere and game in Athens looks fun as ****

I miss games like that

It really does

 

[volatil]

2 weeks from now there will be 60,000 Georgia fans in Neyland

 

[Devo182]

I get people are upset at Pruitt. He hasn't been perfect, no doubt. He's made mistakes.

But he has no QB and no DL. What can he do?

Recruit better DL.

Get a transfer QB, a better/modern OC, or put JG in a system to succeed.

 

[Devo182]

If you can’t hit JJ in the end zone 7 feet from you then you don’t deserve to start another game. Smfh

He hit him alright...right in the facemask lol. The one dropped pass by JJ allll season fml

Oofff

 

[InVOLuntary]

Losses like today used to keep me up game night. I used to have to take a couple of Benadryl to help fall asleep. Now I don't really care. I expect to lose. My give-a-dang is broken.

 

[volfanCLT]

That’s not an after the play personal foul. Runner wasn’t even down yet

 

[reVOLution33]

Is it me or are the following worse this year than last:

QB-(where to even begin)
WR-(look as though they can't get away from there defender)
DL-(big bodies, can't move anyone and still can't line up right)
DB-(I don't understand what everyone sees with Burrell but I have been saying he sucks all year. I know he is a freshman but da** he looks bad. KG is better than him and plays little)

OC-(I'm not sure I've seen so much passing in a game that hasn't ran multiple trick plays and just plays that aren't called very often.)
Our offense looks so vanilla.

DC-(defense looks pretty vanilla also. I thought we would come out blitzing like crazy, yet it seemed very seldom)

A few bright spots:

RB-(they are very promising. If they could get a few pitches and wheel routes that would open up the inside and passing to the WR's)
LB-(To'oTo'o is a dude. He gets it. Crouch and banks look to be promising as well.
OL-(they are giving the QB much more time to throw compared to last year. Holes could still be improved but overall happy with this group the last 3 games. No thanks to the OL coach.)

 

[Devo182]

UAB will be a VERY competitive game and won’t be shocked we lose. I realistically see 2 wins at most.

Uab is god awful lol. Scraping by fcs teams...

UT being awful for so long has not only broken my give a damn, but it has actually made me far less of a sports fan in general. I barely watch CFB and the NFL now (being a Titans fan doesn’t help either). Just tired of being bad and having it affect my mood and my weekends.

Sounds like a decent challenge.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

DL recruitment & coaching is honestly the biggest disappointment with this staff.

I hadn't watched a down of college football after GA state until after UTC. Won't bother watching anymore. UT has ruined it for me.

I’m so tired of losing and sucking.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Beginning to wonder where Tennessee Football would be today if Currie had gotten Leach to Knoxville?

3-1 at least. You can guaran-freakin-tee that much

 

[TNV]

Last thing we need is a coaching change. Just gotta keep the wagons circled until we can fix the roster. The Tyson Helton experiment continues to be a fatal flaw of Pruitt’s HC tenure. All three QBs on scholarship were recruited by other staffs with major question marks as evaluators. We have 2 projects and a Butch Jones victim with severe PTSD. Chaney has weapons at his disposal and a sufficient line, but has been totally hamstrung by a passer who can’t even throw an accurate screen. An infusion of talent makes coaches look much better, as we’ve seen with the O-line, we just need that infusion at every position group...which takes time for recruitment and development.

WE HAVE TO STOP MISSING ON QBS
So sickening thinking what could have been watching Martinez, Minshew, Howell, Lawrence...even GTs! How did we not even try for Hurts, Fields, or Bryant? Reality is we have a MAC qb room right now, and that makes it real hard to win SEC games.

So we should dump Bailey. He was a Helton recruit. Wasn't recruited by Chaney at GA.

Bailey is a Pruitt recruit and is Chaney approved. Keeping Bailey is really important to this rebuild. Would have been ideal to land him and Haynes King, but hopefully Maurer and Hill are able to provide constructive competition for Bailey if he sticks.

Maybe I should have used a different font.

 

[HankHill]

Has yet to win 10 games in a season in lesser leagues.

Where’s he coaching at....

Rocker needs a git shirt...based on the DL I just posted it’s pitiful he can’t recruit better. He can literally guarantee playing time day 1.

 

[C-town Vol]

I’m with a few of you...
I’m just done.
Call me when we are decent.
You can talk about JG, the DL, Pruitt, Chaney, freshmen, and whatever else...
We are a bad football program. Not average. Bad. This isn’t fun. It’s not gonna be fun anytime soon. I’m tired of saying the same optimistic crap every time I open my mouth about this program. It’s a crap program. I don’t care if they keep Pruitt 3 more years or fire him tonight. It doesn’t matter. One way or the other we are no where near being a good football program anytime soon.

Dooley was November of 2nd season, if not earlier.

Some saw it then. There was an injury excuse to be made. Terrible injuries that year.

Two areas that should be strengths.
