Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Lets play a game.

Name TWO players, one from offense and one from defense, over the past 10 years that would most likely help this years team.

Cordarrelle Patterson and Derek Barnett. If thinking about what CP would do in this offense doesn't give you chills, I can't help you.

How many wins did it predict for us last season?

Last year –

Last year our army was coming off of a crushing defeat. We had lost many of our leaders, the officers were in disarray and running for the hills, and the morale of the troops was at a trough. We had a slew of deserters.

We installed a new sovereign and brought in new officers. We reinforced the ranks with a few new reserves and marched out to face the worst of all battles, a desperate fight.

Last year the SEC media in the preseason recognized 3 men on our roster for their preseason All-SEC teams, Cade Mays, Alontae Taylor, and Paxton Brooks. This year they recognized 8 of our players (UGA has 9, UF has 5, LSU has 4, SC has 4, UK has 3, MO has 2, and Vandy has 0). Athlon gives recognition to 10 and the total number of players on All-SEC teams and Watch Lists is at least 12.

Last year we didn’t start the season with a proven QB. In fact for the most part we didn’t have too much proven in any of our position groups. Expectations for a victorious campaign were not very high, by any metric. The whole war was going to be a desperate fight.

We fared much better than many expected, sometimes even in defeat. Our morale improved. New leaders emerged. Our Sovereign and officers proved to be competent. We acquitted ourselves well.

As we prepare for the upcoming campaign we do so with a trusted group of seasoned veterans. We have more proven leadership and owing to calculations and “balancing” we are ready for a new fight.

This year some of our opponents are starting over with new coaches, new personnel at key positions, and a lack of proven leadership. This year for us that is an advantage. jmo.

In the early spring I posted that I had heard we were supposedly adding option elements to our offense to overcome teams that had formidable defensive fronts (balancing out opponent's advantages). In one of the spring practice reports it was reported that we were practicing those option elements but the media was not permitted to film that portion of practice.

Last year we had a number of players emerge as the season unfolded that hadn’t received preseason recognition. I think the same will probably be the case again this year. I think at least 3 or 4 of our guys not recognized so far will likely garner such recognition as the new season gets underway. I think we have a number of freshmen that are prime candidates for All-freshman teams.

One example of a freshman candidate would be Tyre West. In the spring scrimmage, according to RTI, West was dominate. He had 5 sacks in a limited number of snaps. Granted he was playing with the threes but isn’t that what you would want to see? He likely moves up to the twos and that may put him in our rotation up front this year. jmo.

Last year we were starting over. This year we have regrouped, added strength, developed some balancing to use against our better opponents, but maybe most of all, we’re not only ready for a fight, this time we believe we will win. jmo.

Awesome, love this one...

For some of us older folks, this one just hits different because we can remember being there for the older shots...

A massive penis? Nope never tried one.

Sadly Kruger shot himself but survived. Then died a few years later from maybe diabetes or something. Had already had a limb amputated.

Honestly, the things that Pruitt and the staff were doing are peanuts compared to what Alabama and Georgia are doing.

That’s why he was so mad

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Fulmer’s boy.

To be fair, he was tasked with Thanksgiving dinner and all that was left on the shelves was Spam and tofu

Best of luck mate.

I didn’t make the school play but I’m going to see if they’ll cast me as the new Black Panther

White, Sampson, Nimrod

Why dont you take the new model around for a test drive for a few days? Time to trade in the 2015 Mitsubishi Moran VN family truckster for a new 2022 Nissan Nimrod.

I forwarded your contact info to Basilio. He coincidentally posted in today’s blog that he knows a talented graphics artist looking for work.

You emailed yourself?

To continue on the secondary:
Where do you guys seeing the following players in the 2 deep..
McDonald
Rucker
Slaughter
Will be interesting to see where these guys fit w/ the new additions. I’ve been high on Slaughter but for some reason it’s been hit or miss with his playing time. Rucker too.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

So who’s going to be the biggest freshman impact player this year

The Squirrel

It’s funny to see them stumble all over themselves over this. They can’t handle these facts.

With your snake killing abilities, I think you should be a new Marvel superhero known as the Pale Mongoose.
