Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[ChismsHeadband]

What a crap take in an attempt to be provocative.

Having to deal with contact tracing is not casting it as a bogeyman because it actually exists. And yes, as much as we hate excuses, the entire season has a huge asterisk next to it. The good thing-- will Pruitt actually use contact tracing as an excuse? No, when has Pruitt ever used anything as an excuse? He'll acknowledge issues, but he's not going to lean on them like Butch or Dooley did. He's from the "still gotta suit up 11 players" school of thought.

Yes, and the reporters constantly asked him about how Covid was affecting the team. It was usually the first question asked. Sometimes the first few. Now he wants to spin it as CJP calling it the bogeyman and using it as an excuse.

The media is just atrocious in America. But virtually all media outlets are owned by the same 6 mega corporations that have infinite money so they get to keep spewing their nonsense forever and ever with no consequences.

I think Gray will be really good as long as he can stay healthy. Chandler hasn't impressed me. CFA is off the roster. Dee will need to help a lot. But yeah personally I don't think JG will be any better than last year.

Yeah, I love Gray. Hopefully he’s gotten stronger.

Chandler is what he is. So is JG. Expecting anything different from those guys would be naive.

Going to come down to turnovers and redzone efficiency.

I can’t keep up but just heard AP say pope won’t play next week and might not play any this season.

Sorry if that’s old news as the last I heard he was back

 

[SweetasSoda]

Has there been any news on Holiday? Remember when he was recruited he he said something about Chaney using him in different ways. Not heard Whitehead being mentioned much either. Any news on him?

CJP said he got re-injured like end of last week

 

[drvenner]

I think one of our own is chiming in, Eh @bignewt?

 

[KokoBVol]

All my monies are going to a no kill shelter when I kick the bucket but that's just my jam. I'm all for charities that do real work, not so much the ones that are "finding a cure" but are actually just corporations with substantial overhead and a payroll a mile long. If a cure was actually found, the machine would cease to exist, can't have that.

And just like that I found my new Jesse Simmonton.

Thanks B-la-kay.

 

[SSVol]

He’s mad because his mom wouldn’t make his favorite tendies last night

A live look at him now...

 

[BruinVol]

CJP said he got re-injured like end of last week

I missed that and that’s a huge blow imo

 

[butchna]

Any word on Tee Hodges injury and if he’ll be ready to go for the season opener? I feel like he’s probably our #3 back, so would be nice to get him some carries in first couple games in case he’s needed in a bigger role at some point this season

Way VQ’s podcast paints it, Beckwith is a big factor in that candidacy.

 

[UTSuave’]

4 of them are former 5 star recruits...... (Brandon I think was a 4 star) that’s crazy. Has that ever been duplicated even by Bama or any other program before.

Umm....Yearly!

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I missed that and that’s a huge blow imo

Yeah it wasn’t reported on heavily. I think they said it’s currently Fant, Warren, Allen, Brown as the rotation.

Not sure how it took this long for this to cross my mind, but my god can y'all imagine it Butch was "leading" our team through the pandemic?

(Not factoring potential COVID issues opt outs and missed practices)

Offense Prediction

OL: A ... Great depth. Elite talent. Very experienced.

RB: B+ ... Questionable depth. Good talent. Moderately experienced.

TE: C ... Little depth. Questionable talent. Little experience.

QB: C ... Moderate depth. Questionable talent. Little experience outside JG

WR: B+ ... Moderate depth. Great talent. Little/moderate experience


Summary: QB, QB, QB. IF we can make the easy passes and do not throw interceptions we have a top 5-6 SEC offense. OL has no excuses. JG should have time to throw, and RB must stay healthy, but should have holes to run through. We will badly miss Pope at TE. High ceiling newcomers at WR.

Pretty good take! Okay though, you do know we have a Defense as well, we don't just play offense, this isn't the PAC-12 LOL... Lemme see what your thoughts are on our Defense right now... Our line is up and coming with a lot of talent, but otherwise I think we are solid front to back...
