Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Kingston Vol]

Better, but not as good as I’d feel if it were 10 or 15 other coaches.

Why do you bring it up? You hearing something?

Simply that he could be had from Louisville.

He’s not happy there, and they’re pissed he flirted with South Carolina for so long.

The fake punt alone disproves whatever is in the article.

I did love that call. I was thinking do they always put a guy in motion on punts? Then boom.

Jets and Tennessee

Was that not the same defensive call against Florida when Will Grier connected on 4th and 14 and we left a spy on him?

 

[825VOL]

The entire defense looks lost most of the time. They can’t get lined up, they don’t pass of coverages, and they seem confused on nearly every play. So either the scheme is too difficult, our coaches can’t teach the players, or it is both. No excuse for this in year 3

 

[Rishvol]

Worst part about the browns being good is it justifies the progressive commercials... And makes fans stupid about HOH

You bring 7 and have an 8th as a QB spy - putting literally all your corners on an island - that's asking for it. The fix is in. #TankForTrevor

The most powerful agent in college football. Represents about everybody. UT grad too.

I am naming dropping. Daddy Saxon was a very good friend of my dad. Dad knew younger Saxon before he became THE agent everyone used. Nice family and Daddy Saxon is/was a Dentist. They lived in Memphis not sure where the Jimmy lives.

Tennessee Football: Jeremy Pruitt coached to survive, not win

I completely agree with this. 100%

Okay, I had time to come off my high horse from last night - a good nights sleep and rewatched some plays.

Here is another awesome SBV take:

Both QBs are better than JG and not playing them early is on coaching. Wow.

HB does have a strange motion but the ball gets where it needs to go. He did a lot of good little things:

- got through progressions
- climbed the pocket
- hit receivers in stride
- ran when he needed to

He played well for a freshman - he was not helped by the OC or overall game plan.

Shrout also looked good. Better than I have seen in the past. Also on the coaches for not developing him and getting him reps. He has talent for sure.

However , not sure why he even played yesterday. That was a strange coaching move. Why do that!

Overall, we don’t have a QB - we have a roster full of undeveloped players. you have to stick with one not named JG and play him. Too late now I guess.

I blame the coaching - on every level!!!

We had a similar situation in 2000. We had Joey Matthews and AJ Suggs. Fulmer told the staff to get Casey Clausen ready and they did. He became a four year starter and won a lot of games for us.

At least the Jets will be rewarded by sucking in the draft...

 

[engineerVOL]

We’ve played 4 QBs this year.

 

[revjayp]

Eli Drinkwitz. Who knew?

 

[drvenner]

The more I read and watch about Jamey Chadwell the more I am leaning toward him. Freeze is a bit of a pipe dream with his baggage. Chadwell is an East Tennessee dude and seems like a genuine solid coach.

Midmajor. One great year. Let him learn somewhere else, please.

 

[Kingston Vol]

Eli Drinkwitz. Who knew?

Good coaching, man. They changed EVERYTHING about that program in one year and are still ahead of schedule.

 

[VolGee4]

I keep up fine. We did a lot of run run pass, which I said. Mainly in the first half. They came out in the second and scored making it a big lead. We had to throw then. Only thing I was wrong on was starting run run pass. I forgot we actually passed on second down. Lord forbid I don’t remember one play from watching the game once.

Keep on doing you though man.

Not what you initially said. Backtracking.

This place is like clockwork. A coach is on the hot seat, and people are loose with the facts.

Everyone knows it takes 5 years to do this

 

[drvenner]

Again, UF was allowing the under, and had second and third string out.

Shrout has most experience between him and Bailey. Not a surprise he was throwing better. He does have some better intangibles, but, I still think as a Frosh, Bailey has higher ceiling.

I just think though, this offense will never be a modern, high scoring offense. Time to reinvent the wheel here. It's really quite frankly, stale.

They had the first string in, on the first drive. They played softer but he still looked good y, all things considered.

 

[Catbone]

Yes. That's illegal what they're doing.

I’m telling you. When I heard his name here, I was furious. Now, I’m questioning everything I believe in. Lol.

let em battle it out necks yurr.

in meantime, its Shroot & Bailey. No more three ring circus.

 

[engineerVOL]

Didn’t even know the name Jamey Chadwell until a few weeks ago, which means it’s exactly who would probably pull our program out of its current hellscape.

This would all be different if we struggled on offense and then were playing great defense. But we really do not look good in any phase of the game. Special teams, offense and defense all look very mediocre to bad.

I expected Pruitt to build a great defense here. I'm not sure we're anywhere close to that in the foreseeable future. This is a huge failure on his part. If he can't give us that at the very least he's not the guy.

It's time to move on before recruits start backing out and we get even further behind.

Freeze him out.

 

[drvenner]

This is crazy to think, but 2011 Vols had 13 future NFL players on the roster.

And Dooley won five freaking games.

Who the heck is Saxon? Have you hit your head again?
