Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

I was shocked Tillman didn’t play more. I only saw him in the game at WR at the very end.

Might have been one of the WRs that hadn’t gotten to practice much.

Also feeling good about Princeton Fant. Curious to see our young RBs.

 

[delfonic]

My big takeaway was if Tyler Baron can start making tackles he's gonna be real good.

 

[AllVol11717]

Was excited to see Crouch start last night, but man I hope he returns to edge, he was way better.

First game at ILB and he was thinking too much instead of reacting. Henry T. had the same problem against GSU so hopefully Q can adjust as well.

 

[TurnoverTrashCan]

I just want to say that it’s awesome to get the kind of break we got on the punt in the fourth quarter last night. I feel like in our recent past we haven’t gotten those. There is definitely a mental toughness shift in our Volunteers that was missing under previous regimes. We have a determination to win. I feel like a lot of the mistakes we made last night can be fixed through coaching. But, we seem like a team that will not fold now when the going gets tough. Very excited about the trajectory of Volunteer football going forward.

 

[gainesvol82]

Also, love how physical our DBs are in run support.

I was impressed as well...at least with his appearance. That looks an athlete who plays TE.

 

[BruinVol]

He has a patent for fretting over that which isn’t an issue. Pruitt saw an issue and called a timeout. He didn’t go with the “it’ll prolly be aight” approach. And what happened? They ran the clock out.

If you are going to argue at least know the TO I am talking About

I’m talking about the TO before the punt when the clock was still running and yes 6 seconds were precious at that point. Completely ignorant not to let the clock run out and then call TO. Inexcusable

True but I thought we had read practice reports about how good he had been

Hope so cause right now it’s Banks position

 

[ob79]

No idea who it was but, maybe Harper, butone of the commentators on SEC Final just said To'o To'o reminds him off Junior Seau.

Damn.

So much angst so little reason.

Can't recall. Might be a chemistry issue, could be that JG has had more practice reps with Palmer, Johnson, and VJJ.

If you don’t think 6 extra seconds matter with a minute to go and a full field to drive I can’t help you

Ironically, Banks problem was the exact opposite. Reacting too much, not enough thinking.

You also don't know why he called the time out, maybe it saved another botched punt? End of the day coaches coached they had rust too.

You can’t help anybody...least of all yourself. Too many demons in that noggin. Pruitt called a game that we won...wasn’t happenstance. We’ve seen enough games lost when our coach froze to know the difference.

 

[AllVol11717]

Don’t hate that either. Once Banks settles down and keeps it between the whistles he could be a stud.

doesn’t matter as the coaching decision should have been easy

Tell the punt team let the clock run out and tell the official you are calling TO just before it does or take a delay

The punt team Should Have known the plan and it was obvious what should have happened. Instead the punt team shaped it right when the TO was called

That last sentence can’t be any truer.

 

[BeecherVol]

Yeah. Already said it... Stat line for jg.. Can't argue with it. Eye test... He's the same as he has been. Biggest positive from him last night was 0 turnovers and he was not a disaster.

Hill was efficient and showed good accuracy and timing and if not for a woulda, coulda,shoulda to his te... They may win that game.

Jg had multiple woulda, coulda, shouldas...

In the end, that he didn't turn it over and he wasn't a disaster may be all we need going forward...

I was impressed with Hill for a first start with a new team in a new league. He has a couple pieces around him but its not like SC is overwhelming at the skill position.

At least don't bitch unless it's at least eight seconds, ask any bull rider.

Agreed he played solid

Lol

the most fun I have ever had in life took less than 6 seconds so there’s that
