Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

He hit some big throws, didn’t throw interception, made plays with his legs. I didn’t say he was lights out. Take what you can get man especially with new WRs.

As painful as it is, this is true.

like I said he stuck his left foot in the ground and I thought should have turned his head away from the defender he just shook with that good move

I ask the question I am admittedly questioning way as I might be wrong

It was a corner post route. Hence the sticking his foot.

 

[HankHill]

The play in the first half where The announcers said JG threw it over the wrong shoulder I thought it was an awful route. He stuck is left foot in the ground and then stayed looking to his left. I thought the mistake was on 80

What you got ?

its really impossible to tell from this angle but the QB is basically throwing to a spot there and that ball was so elevated i thought there was plenty of time to adjust and find the ball. “Should” catch? Eh.... but catchable? For sure.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Fellas I called it! I actually called it! August 18 I said that Jimmy Holiday would be the first position player to get a touch! It didn’t go like I had said but it made an incredible impact!

Thattaboy Jimmy!

Congrats! You win one DN cookie. Don’t waste it.

My infallible takes from the game:

1. The slow start thing for Pruitt is over. We won. Every team was sloppy to start the year. Gracious look at Ga.
2. I don’t think too much about the defense being sloppy tonight. Game one, and all that contact tracing had us out of sorts. We were also starting a freshman at star and had to move BT to safety. They’ll be fine.
3. We have some players at receiver. They were open all night.
4. RB and OLgonna be a strength when they settle in
5. JG is still bad. If he’s all we got, we aren’t gonna make as much noise as this team could with better play there

Slaughter is going to only get better and better...really quickly. That’s a true freshman without a real offseason playing on the road first game!

I feel Vol football stress in my right knee now. That’s new.

 

[vol81]

Undefeated and tied for first!

Tonight was weird. We looked great at times then awful at others. Need consistency on D and better QB play especially on third downs.

Have we discussed who numbers #93 and #96 on offense were? I’m going to assume Cooper Mays and Lampley.

I thought 93 was Cooper, couldn't figure out the other.

With all that has happened this offseason, a Win is a Win... Definitely need to iron out some things. Defensively: Star cannot keep allowing Slot to cross face even when playing inside leverage. Have to wall off any slant or seam. Overall defense played ok. Would like to have been off the field more...
Offensively: have to run the ball effectively and efficiently. JG played a relatively clean game, but he has room for improvement. Have to hit receivers in front of them on crossing routes, cannot afford to throw behind them. Offense needs to understand that for the rest of the year defenses in the league are going man with 1 high so WRs have to win 1v1 matchups and OL/RBs need to pick up pressure clean and not miss any assignments.

Interesting take and thanks for the answer but be careful if you never played WR you may get a poster after you for that thinking

 

[HankHill]

I mean if you’re expecting to see some elite QB play this year.... you’re wasting your time lol. But for what JG is... solid start all things considered.

 

[Orange Studs]

I don’t mean this in a bad way but Banks is a better ILB than Crouch

Just needs to play a lot smarter cause those were two dumb penalties that help keep SC in the game.

 

[MockingVol]

Stick with me here guys, but Bruin has a fair point on JG making smart decisions with the ball really all night. He overthrew balls, particularly egregiously on third down, but he was going to the right guys.

A senior shouldn’t have jitters like that. Hopefully he can develop touch (maybe calm down?), but if he doesn’t I think we have enough pieces to win with or without him.

The Star will be better if we get Sham back. That was a Freshman playing in his first game against a solid slot receiver.

Agreed. But man you gotta love that fire lol, that one screen read I haven’t seen one of our linebackers come downhill that fast in a long time. Pretty sure his Jersey caught fire.

We will get much better on D next week and beyond. I trust the D. Offense needs work.

 

[BruinVol]

We need Shamburger and Mays by the time we get to UGA. Not even sure that they ever stopped us but we stopped ourselves with overthrows

I DVred the game and caught up at the end. One bad thing about that is you don’t know what happened with players


Where was sham?


Where was Thompson in the 3rd qt as
I don’t think he played and was he playing safety or the star?

where was Middleton?

 

[Devo182]

Ty had over 6 1/2 yards a carry tonight.

I loved the drive we used him and tempo. I hope Chaney uses that tempo more, but the OL has to learn to get set too.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

So impressive. He struggled covering Shy, which isn’t surprising, but man he made some plays too, including a sack

 

[mrorange211]

JG gonna best UGA. Watch

 

[AppStVol]

Baron was setting the hell out of the Edge tonight as a true frosh. Excited to see him develop, you can see he belongs.

Im not a JG fan but I agree his reads were good, I dont really remember any pass he tried to force into coverage. However his accuracy was another story.

 

[StoVol]

That catch by Brandon Johnson tho!

 

[volfaninpa]

JG gonna best UGA. Watch

I want you to be right. I want to see JG lead this team to the east title.
