Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[Big Orange#1]

We’re gonna beat the brakes off Mizzou

 

[ClasslessVol]

Alontae looked good too and Tank flashed some but Theo was in on more solid plays than both combined.

I know Beasley isn't a DB but he looks like one and was playing in coverage a lot. He was the one I noticed getting beat the most. Overall the D played very well but I saw areas that SEC offenses will exploit. I can see us having the 6th or 7th best D in the conference which would be a good achievement considering all we lost.

Beasley I was very unimpressed with. Definitely a big drop off with the second team linebackers. I was very impressed with Theo in the run game, just not in the pass game.

@HankHill can we get our refund on Beasley? You said he was going to be a beast….

 

[Orange Studs]

Just about every position is like that now

Would like to see that kind of decision making next week from Milton and not hang on to the ball so long. I really hope he learns touch. I believe that may be he's biggest challenge. Hope CH can work his magic.

Wow, the ff is really something else. Hard to believe the rf is so different and it's members of the same site.

FF is full of typical internet trolls and whiners for the most part. RF is mostly a group of fans looking for actual discussion.

I don’t know if I could describe Tank’s play overall? (Career wise) Is that weird?

Consistent?

Don’t really hear much about him, but I don’t recall him ever hurting us on defense either

 

[GoVolsGo54]

I don't think Pitt is that good if you take away Pickett. If we can get him flustered and stay in his face I think we will be okay.


p.s. UMASS is absolute garbage.

 

[ClasslessVol]

We could 100% beat Mizzou. I want to wait till next week to make better judgement but they look like s**t today and we did destroy them last year. Columbia also isn’t an environment that exactly scares me.

Man it's crazy how different it is lol.

 

[Devo182]

I bet Kyle Field will be crazy tonight too

Ok that's awesome. I wouldn't mind if we stole that...

I have a theory - RF posters are more invested and more informed.. it’s a year around thing for them and they have a better idea of what’s going on and what to expect.
A lot of FF posters don’t follow the program as closely and just run to the board to vent when the team doesn’t live up to their uninformed expectations

I feel you. He hits hard and usually is in the right place. He has played alright but he is also a little slow and gets beat, especially on slants or crossing patterns. Good against the run. He would be great in the BIG.

 

[Glitch]

I think it more concerning that @Glitch wasn't able to tell @InVOLuntary was a dude.

Insiders don’t get things wrong. Take a lap

 

[Glitch]

Cow Bell U struggling a bit against LaTch. 14-14 second quarter and Tech has only run 11 offensive plays at this point.

21-14 now.

Whatcha think, 7th round/UDFA?

 

[ACvol3]

Umass is really really bad

 

[beneVOLence]

One thing that stood out to me the other to night was our tackling. I thought we tackled good in space.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

MS State just went down 7. Not getting Leach mightve been a bullet dodged.

 

[Ace]

We may have used Flowers and Theo for punt just for the BG game. May not want to show everything first game.

What….. he was the supposed savior some said

 

[ClasslessVol]

Well we better hope Mizzou doesn’t come down to a FG. Their kicker is automatic

I was really please with how our D played. We saw QB pressure that we haven't seen in a couple of years and some really great pushes from the DT's

Yeah I think his speed is his biggest weakness. He’s not afraid to come up and pop somebody though

Spot on. RF posters are usually much friendlier and a lot have actually met and that changes the tone of most conversations, even disagreements. I think it also helps that RF readers and posters have been here for years. Higher level of understanding football and dog farts in here. Even rival fans are aware of this and post in here.
