Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[TrippieRedd]

Wth do you (and others) have against Mark Nagi???

Because there's no reason to cry and throw a temper tantrum on Twitter, that's why. No one gives a **** about how he feels, but yet he chooses to complain about it on Twitter. He wants to talk about hurting recruiting, well what about him basically talking **** about our coaches and making them look/sound bad? That hurts recruiting as well, no?


Don't complain about something when you're basically hurting "recruiting" yourself by talking **** about our coaches and how they run things.

The practice being open or closed doesn't help with recruiting anyway.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Also through 4 games we have 4 INTs, last season we ended at a total of 5.

Guess maybe we didn't have secondary guru's on staff like we thought we did...

And it doesn't help their stale journalism be any less stale.

I hope by the Ole Miss game one of Charles and McDonald has taken a starting spot. Preferably Charles

You could seriously write a bot to generate the same BS stories that we read over and over again, year after year.

Just feed the depth chart to the bot and let it spit out whatever.

It's hard not to like the offensive scheme. Guys are running wide open all over the field.

I agree. We have fans who are trying to say how CJH is supposed to run HIS offense. Laughable.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

if we can be under 50 yards in penalties and hit the deep ball we win by 2 tds

Baron has looked good, of course Florida didn't really start throwing until the 2nd half when the legs of our DL were more worn down.

I still think the LBs are limiting the defense the most. LBs who can lockdown RBs or TEs or who can actually beat a block and get to the QB when blitzing and the defense is pressuring more.

I will say though we're doing better than last staff.

9 sacks & 34 TTFL (that's 7th best in the NCAA)

So the defense is playing on the right side of the LOS more often than not, just gotta generate more turnovers and less penalties.

I'd like to see more Mohan & McDonald but that's my only complaint. Last two games the boys have started hunting the ball and creating turnovers, AT wouldn't have made that strip last year or that pick. Coaching has been supreme on that side, even Beasley get better every week. Still not completely sold on Burrell, wish Turnage could turn in on before Bama game. Tyler Baron is our next 1st round pick IMO.

We have some talent in the secondary. I think the young guys are more talented than the older players playing. They will get their shot eventually. Hopefully, sooner rather than later. Linebacker is our biggest weakness. We need four ILB’s this class bad. I hope Willis and Mohan make big jumps next year. We could be decent with them being good, Banks, and a ready transfer.

Roman has been disappointing to me, I thought he would be a stud.

Agreed, I thought he could develop to be a Courtney Upshaw type. I think our fans are enamored with him due to his cut up physique but he doesn't seem to have a natural position.

To me he isn't big enough frame/body type for holding point of attack on the Edge, and too slow to play inside LB. Good kid and have to appreciate his effort though.

Me too, what's the deal with Eason? That was his job in the spring. Got to heavy? Kid played like a savage week 1.

Evans & Small should eat. I got to eat a little crow on Small, he showed something different against UF. Looks like Ty Chandler with actual RB vision, like how he lowered his shoulder and grinded for extra yardage at the 2nd & 3rd level. With that said, Evans is Kamara part II. Feed him the bulk please.

Wah wah wah what will we ever do

Typical media member thinking their job is more important and influential than it actually is. Nobody has a higher opinion of their own thoughts and opinions than those in the media.

I walk by a couple hundred houses every day… maybe more

It’s interesting to see how many people feel the need to label their front with “Porch” word art. I know it’s not a new thing and I’m certain a lot of you have it too, but I’ll never stop laughing inside

[in the voice and inflection of the guy on the Progressive commercials about turning into your parents]

"Do we really need a sign that says "Porch"?"

Those are probably my favorite commercials right now, btw.

Barbers?

 

[BigSteve09]

What's he gonna say anyway?

The quarterbacks threw the ball today. Some passes were good, others were bad, the coaches are working with them.

The WRs had drops. They are all working on their timing with the QBs. The secondary looked good against the WRs.

The offensive line was this - [shuffle names], they also worked out [shuffle names]

The RBs had a good day. Dee Beckwith dressed up like Evel Knievel and hurdled 40 buses.

The defensive line was [shuffle names]. They're trying to figure out what to do with some injury issues.

The linebackers ran around.

Coach Heupel said he likes what he's seeing but he would like to see more improvement. He is ready to go back to Missouri, where he was offensive coordinator.


Very rarely is there breaking news or updates worth salivating over. The only time the practice reports were new and exciting were 2015 and 2016 when they basically started every report with "holy s*** y'all, we've got some players. too many to count."

Not even a real media guy anymore either...

Dude works for freaking TDOT and hasn't worked in sports since 2011...unless you count his "Freelance Sportscaster/Producer" stuff, which I don't (since it's just him blogging and sharing on Twitter)

 

[volinbama256]

What's our D line health situation going into Saturday? I saw Simmons go down towards the end of the game along with Baron, but haven't seen anything on either...

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Double Gauldens to Bama. Always. Always, Double Gauldens.

I surveyed my field to account for the Gauldens I had to give. To my dismay, I discovered only a single Gaulden. I dropped my business and ran to the country store to find another, for I must always have double Gauldens for Bama, and not a single Gaulden less

 

[dwaugh]

Heupel - I yield.

I’m starting my list!

Cons
- Closed practices
- Too many penalties
- Can’t recruit with NCAA penalties looming
- Can’t get players he didn’t recruit to execute new scheme perfectly in first SEC game
- Scrunchy face

Pros
- ???

Hmm.

Maybe he ain’t the guy.

Will withhold final judgment until after second SEC game.


That how this works??

I think it needs blue font also, for the sarcastically impaired.

 

[Ten_Titans]

Wah wah wah what will we ever do

The only reason to be at practice during the season is to get injury information. Something that the staff is obviously trying to keep under wraps.

No one cares about warm up videos in the middle of the season.
