Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[Batman1948]

I think Nieds to LB coach may have been a mistake. Shelton Felton, as inexperienced as he is, isn't looking like a great decision either.

The only guy playing his natural LB position is HT. The rest of the group is still learning how to play the position and they're way too slow.

 

[Rishvol]

So only a few of my students are still passing.... But I'm not done grading yet

 

[Jackcrevol]

Yes, you can argue. Maurer or Bailey should have been in mid way through the third qtr.

Sounds like you're the only one arguing.

I'm searching for a positive.

All the other NCAA teams had the same hand dealt.

 

[Rishvol]

Common denominator is 2

Fire him

I’d argue that Pruitt inherited more than Dooley and Butch. Even if it’s a draw, that is a terrible statistic not in favor of Pruitt.

Really do think we are missing defensive speed. It's killing us in PC. Gotta get some of these younger guys ready on both sides.

Keep searching. KY beat us 34-7 in Neyland and Bama and Butch Jones are smoking cigars as we speak.

It's Bama.

Without a pass rush will it matter?

 

[rjd970]

It's Bama.

KENTUCKY

34-7

 

[Fun coupon VOL]

Because JG gives us the best chance to win!

Better yet, he doesn’t throw interceptions or turn the ball over in practice.

Serious opinion

The offense has so much more life when BM is in. It isn’t because of his physical attributes, but his feel for the pocket.

 

[***RoadVol***]

SHUT THE f*** up without Henry T we lose games

He is still not elite. We don't have an elite player on defense. Just look back at the last two games without any bias. Why do you think we can't defend a slant? Its because ALL of the linebackers suck at pass coverage. They crash down to defend the run leaving a ton of space behind them.

KENTUCKY

34-7

oh well, next.

it sucked, i was pissed. we get better, supposedly.

 

[UTSuave’]

I love Henry T but he has been a liability in pass coverage this year, to a lesser degree than others but he is not yet elite. I see no problem with it as a statement of fact.

Dude y’all are the most nit picking crew I’ve ever seen...that guy has literally saved ball games for us and y’all want to talk about a MLB in pass coverage but yet our CB’s can’t even look back for the ball when it’s in the air or stop a slant....it’s hard to cover anyone when our Dline gets absolutely ZERO pressure and the QB has all day to throw...get off the only bright spot we have on this team.Atleast he’s a leader on that side of the damn ball..

 

[maotai]

I think we are all seeing the same things that got Fulmer, Dooley, and Butch fired starting to show up in this coaching staff. Defensive backs that can't cover, front 7 that can't get a push and get dragged after contact, and a stubborn to a fault attitude to not make the changes that need to be made.

 

[Devo182]

Going to be a long 2 weeks until Arky...but at least no one can complain about the OL or QBs much this week.

At least we get to see some new material from The Legion.

 

[rjd970]

What exactly makes you believe we will get better? I’m seriously asking.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Didn’t watch a single minute and I feel so good. Saw the score and just out my phone down. Not gonna let it ruin my weekends anymore. Anyone got any notes? Just turned on the Kentucky game. Yikes. What a terrible loss. We could have run it sixty times and beat them by ten.

 

[Batman1948]

Moving forward from today, as much as I hate it, I think the next 5 games is Pruitt and Staff Coaching to keep their jobs. DBs, DL have regressed. Playing with 1 inside LB. WR are OK. RBs are a wash. OL is not any better. DL and QB have been well documented. And we recover a fumble and run 3 times and punt. Maybe Chaney needs to step aside.

Pruitt just signed a new contract with a two year extension. He's not going anywhere but some of his assistants may be in trouble.

Ya, Pruitt inherited a mess. But it's year 3, can't still be blaming Butch for everything.
