Bummer of a day for NFL Vols

Barnett ACL
James Achilles

That probably ends James’ career

I will never understand how anyone would want to be a part of that cult.

 

[orangejuice]

I honestly never realized how weird they are.

 

[ACvol3]

That probably ends James’ career

I hope he doesn’t have that attitude

Creepiest cult in all of sports.

I hope he doesn’t have that attitude

second time tearing that Achilles after a weird couple of years anyway, and he's in his last year of his contract.

Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ja'Wuan James is out for the season after tearing his left Achilles tendon for the second time in 16 months.

James, who was playing in his first game in three years, was injured in the second quarter of the Ravens' 24-9 win at the New York Jets. He got pushed back by rookie Micheal Clemons and was carted off the field.

This represents more missed time for James, who opted out of the 2020 season because of COVID-19 and then missed all of last season after tearing his left Achilles in May 2021. James is in the final year of his two-year, $4.575 million deal.

Why..

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Maybe, but same year Burrow was drafted #1 they had 3 OL also get drafted. They had a "perfect storm" situation develop that season cause Coach O sure as hell can't coach for ****, but he had talent there and with the right offensive staff present and O leaving them to it they pulled it off.

The thing is...I am pretty sure Wright, Carvin, Mays and Spraggins are all going to the NFL when their CFB careers are over barring injury...

Florida 2021

But that was early in the Heupel tenure.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

20-25 years ago, Nebraska was ahead of the curve with HGH and Steroid cheating. What made those teams so dominant is how impressive they were in the trenches on the OL and DL. They bullied every opponent and enforced its will. Combine that with high IQ athletic QBs (Frazier, Frost) that could perfect the triple option.

Fify....we didn't call em the Cornroiders for nothing. Those OL and DL guys all left Lincoln and immediately shrunk.

 

[VOLED]

That dude is in WAY over his head. SC will be coach shopping sooner than later.

A little surprised he didn't find a way to throw more shade in our direction

 

[MemphisVol3]

I was hoping for a night game. Would have been an unreal scene.

Would've been if Florida beat Kentucky.

 

[UTProf]

AR did hurt an ankle early in the game…. Florida fans are saying that is why they supposedly didn’t have designed runs for him Saturday…. Not sure if accurate though.

They were passing around a gif where he got ankle tackled. He walked out of it and basically walked it off. It wasn't the kind of injury that lingers beyond a few minutes of pain and it didn't trouble him the rest of the game. (He certainly wasn't walking around like either of Pitt's QBs where it was obvious they were playing hurt).

 

[DawgInterloper]

Either gotta be able to bring in elite talent OR develop the hell out of what talent you have. At Nebraska Frost wasn't doing either.

Developing talent's not a sure thing either for teams that can't afford to keep them. Transfer portal means teams with less money can spend two years developing players only to see them leave for greener pastures.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

The thing is...I am pretty sure Wright, Carvin Mays and Spraggins are all going to the NFL when their CFB careers are over barring injury...

Sure hope so, but at this point they've not looked near as dominate as that LSU OL was. As you already pointed out though Burrow played out of his mind, doubtful Hendo will reach that level. And we for sure don't have a RB on the same level as Clyde Edwards-Helaire either who lead their team in total yards from scrimmage.

But I think once the OL is playing at or near the level of other elite units in the SEC then we'll see our offense closer to that level of production from LSU. Not going to happen with Hendo though, at least not for the full season. There is a chance the OL turns the corner this year and are playing at that level by the end of the year.

 

[KB5252]

Wow, I can't believe they could even find any self respecting gay men to do this. It resembles a dance a five year old would put together.

[TitanicVolz]

Man the love that team gets for breaking a record set by a guy who rode a horse and buggy to work is bewildering.Levis uplifting his team when he had no rb help Yada Yada

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Just saw this stat...but...Georgia only has 1 sack for the year so far.

 

[JacketVol]

for later

 

[MemphisVol3]

Good lord I hate playing UF at 3:30 on CBS. That SEC on CBS theme has been the sound of our season going off the rails for 15 years.

I know what you mean. Dunnn da da dunnn dun dun dun dunnn… tune has been stuck in my head since 2005 when we were loaded and played @ FLA in the night game Urban’s first year.

 

[triadvolfan]

Brick by brick...

Nope, still can't laugh about it.
