Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[GoBigOrange86]

Real talk for a second...did anyone that met @Catbone at the bowl last year get his phone or email?

Would be cool to know he's at least alright. Dude could be pretty down (real life not just sports) at times and spoke on his issues.

He’s a good guy but has talked about struggling with depression. I hope he’s doing alright.

Any other tidbits from inside the locker room that we should look out for?

If you watched that whole game and didn't see the team quit after they trotted JG back out there idk what to tell you.

These are 18-22 year olds preparing for a career as pro athletes where their sport is highly visible. Poor results have consequences. You’re gonna coddle these YOUNG ADULTS so much that they get to the League and they’re still on their momma’s tit when a business decision doesn’t go there way. They signed up for this. They know the repercussions of poor play. Get thick skin or move on to something else.

A very small percent of college players will become professionals and they know it. These are young adults trying to get an education and playing a game they love.

I wonder how many of the fans would respond if everything they did at work was put under a microscope and talked about all week on message boards. What if every time any of us had a bad day, we were scrutinized publicly by people who we did not know and have no authority over us. Boo the coaches sure, but the players deserve more respect.

rutgers up 140-0 on sparty

If you just watched a game on TV and think you have any idea what the players are thinking or feeling then idk what to tell you

 

[C-town Vol]

I personally believe this 85 man roster is more like the team that beat USCe + Mizzou. 7 turnovers can completely eliminate any talent you have.

We aren’t as bad as the last 6 quarters represent.

I think Pruitt can manage the rest of this season and lead us to 6 wins. He did it last year. We aren’t dead.

Seeing a team quit on the field tells me all I need to know, they knew they didn't have a chance when 2 went back in the game.

Reminder that Bammers wish they were residents of the great state of Tennessee.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

JG will start. I’m told HB will play but we all know how that goes...get into the flow of the game...forget or situation doesn’t dictate it...blah blah blah.
AP

JG facing the wrath. No win situation. He has to play, but isn’t capable of playing good enough.

 

[MrVolton]

I think Pruitt loses this team if JG plays all game. They sent a message during KY that they are giving up with him as QB.

That’s what I’d be afraid of. JG shouldn’t have seen the 2nd quarter vs. UK.

Thats a bad message to send to your team.

 

[turdherder11]

Saban is top 2 best HC of all time and created a dynasty at Bama and 3 years ago we were 0-8 in the SEC and had our worst season ever as a program.

Shouldn’t really be THAT surprising.

Losing year 3 to ky isn't surprising ?

 

[Nashvegas31]

What is confusing to me.... Pruitt has no issue playing the young guys on defense.. playing the most talented guy but it’s like pulling teeth in offensive side of the ball. Play the upside guys. These WRs need to be let loose and so does the QB

 

[snowvols]

Tony Elliott needs to be a HC soon. He's elevated the Clemson offense the last six seasons. Still only 40 years old.

 

[GojiraVol17]

Anyone would likely lose that game if you turn the ball over that many times. People also are giving them the benefit of the doubt that they’re actually a well coached team with some pissed off mid to upper mid tier caliber SEC players. Remember all the hype they were getting early in the preseason? There was decent reason

 

[BruinVol]

Seeing a team quit on the field tells me all I need to know, they knew they didn't have a chance when 2 went back in the game.

Which was it?
the coaching that clearly quit on the game with their play calling or the players?


Imo it was the coaches first that waved the white flag

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Im really glad Fields isn't still at UGA. They might actually win something If he was still there.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Tony Elliott needs to be a HC soon. He's elevated the Clemson offense the last six seasons. Still only 40 years old.

And keep Pruitt as DC. I’m down

 

[RikidyBones]

Pray for DN

DN? Who's that?!?!

Well since the coaches failed at their jobs to get another QB ready this off season, what other choice did they give themselves? The coaches started doing the only thing the offense could do.

 

[JacketVol]

So what I want to see today is Bailey, we establish the run to get him settled and then we have him throw a few slants/curls etc for some high percentage throws and then we open him up and let him sling the mess outta the ball.

I want to see Bailey first play and do verts and throw on the first play off of play action. Trail one guy over the middle if rush is coming hard on him.

 

[captainfalcon777]

Can we all agree that if by some Miracle we win today Catbone is never allowed to be on this board ever again

Disagree. We need an Eeyore on here to keep the sunshine pumpers in check.

 

[Jackcrevol]

not it

 

[SSVol]

Anybody notice what formula Kiffin used to keep the game close?

 

[Ashevolle]

Thought experiment: what would JG's legacy be with a win over Alabama ( I know, I know)?
