Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[gordonr24]

We are 28 and a half hours away from kickoff. Here's to a QB change and a miracle.

It just seems like there is going to be a new starting QB tomorrow. Reminds me of 2013 Florida when we didn’t know Peterman was starting until a few hours before game time. Here’s hoping it works out better this time.

Am I the only one that won't be able to watch my Vols play Bama live? Just can't watch my team get drubbed once again. But heck yea I'll have it recorded (just in case). If by some miracle, the Vols win, I'll watch again and again.

Man, he must have had a rough offseason, whether it's regressing, injuries, or mentally (maybe a bit of all 3). This lines up with what Patrick Brown said the other day, "from what I’ve heard I don’t think he’s anywhere near being ready to play in a game. "

Hopefully it is just playing poorly/banged up and NOT mental health.

 

[Devo182]

Random, but did anyone else notice Bryan Aiken in vs Kentucky? Wonder if he is coming around. Remember hearing good things about him out of HS.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Bailey about to throw for 300. Book it.

 

[Johncarter53]

Has the starter for qb been announced?

 

[Devo182]

yep
he was really good is pass coverage. Wish like hell we had him in coverage right now over Banks and crouch. He’s Better than Henry T as well

Makes one a bit curious on our LB style. Great vs the run, but here we are in the days of RPOs and LBs having to cover in space. Maybe we need more fluid hips and wiggle at LB.

Yea even bama is starting to show signs of struggling on defense

 

[SLICKYINC]

Has the starter for qb been announced?

JG, BM, JS, HB...

 

[bignewt]

Pathetic folks here.


I’m going to cheer my ass off for whomever plays QB tomorrow and be damn proud I am wearing orange.

Anyone wanting the season to be shut down better sit back and reflect on what that means is going on in this world and what kind of effect that has on peoples lives. Screw them and that thinking!


GBFO!!!

Cuckin'

 

[beneVOLence]

Yes

 

[jakez4ut]

Best case scenario is season gets shut down before recruiting falls apart and we don’t have to watch JG ever again

Not me. I won't watch JG as QB anymore. It's just not enjoyable at all, and I've got better things to do, like literally ANYTHING else. I will forever cheer on the Vols, but I won't let it make me miserable.

 

[drvenner]

All eyes will be looking at LSU starting a freshman QB against SC this Saturday. I wonder if he'll look like a freshman or superman.

Well, they're not playing Tennessee, so he won't look like Superman

Thanks for the update from VQ. I don't understand that as his mobility seems to help, and he showed flashes in the UGA and Miss state game last year? I wish AP would say why BM isn't even worthy of consideration.

 

[drvenner]

Hard not to concede a game JG starts in....

Did you concede the SC and Missouri games?

 

[jakez4ut]

yeah, i know he's had his issues with that. but part of that story was how he's overcome and managed them.

i think if that were the issue, that was preventing him from playing, then he probably should transfer..and really shoudn't be involved with the football program at all....i mean,.....at what point did simply not playing in the games become the line not to cross, otherwise his mental health be in peril, questionable or in jeopardy?

i think it really is just as simple as the leg kept him out of fall camp too long, it's still nagging, so they've gone with others. the others dont necessarily show to be significant upgrades. BM is practicing. so if he can go...let him go....i think we're to that point in the season.

if not this week, then definitley over the next two weeks, you got to get him ready for the possilbityh of playing.

*not a dr.

"When we had the job come open, we didn't interview anybody else. We didn't interview him. We just offered him the job, and he came."

I'm sure when Ansley informed Pruitt that Brumbaugh had a distaste for asparagus that was all coach needed to hear.

Well which is it ?

i think that he isn't...likely means he can't....which, likely, at least points to something medical....i won't speculate what, but we know about the knee and the mental health, and leave it at that.

hope for his sake he's good.........

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I'm sorry honesty hurts your feels.

No...I'm sorry your hatred of JG playing destroys your ability to think or feel even a little rational about the situation. Shrout evidently sucks as bad as JG, or maybe even worse if he is too stupid or lazy to figure out the offense, Maurer is obviously mentally ill, and Bailey isn't ready...yet...but he will be.

It is obvious to me from the fact they are going to all the trouble of these Sunday scrimmages that Pruitt knows he has to have Bailey ready soon. It may not be this week, but it is coming. Nothing is going to help much this weekend, it doesn'tmatter who starts..so calm the eff down please.

Pruitt never said he disliked it, just didn't know what it was.

I am this. All of it.

I love every time I get to watch the Vols.

I don’t turn off a game. I watch every play.

Good times and bad. Still a Vol. Will die a Vol.
