Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[Nash_Vol97]

I actually think you can attack the UK secondary pretty good. They haven’t played a single dynamic offense other than maybe Ole Miss who is very run heavy. I’m pretty much at the point where it doesn’t matter who we play they are gonna have problems with our receivers. Just like Henry T, Jacquez Jones the LB from UK can get torched in the pass game.

Ole Miss is 78th in the country in passing offense, and 3rd in rushing offense.

UF is 91st in the country in passing offenses and 19th in rushing offense.

Miss State is 7th in passing offense, but 123rd in rushing offense.

UK hasn’t played a balanced offense yet in their 3 “good” wins. That secondary is propped up but they really haven’t been tested really. With Miss State you can drop more into coverage and sit on their routes and not have to worry about them running. Ole Miss and UF you can stop the run and you basically stop their offense because they are limited passing. Dart for Ole Miss against UK had a 50% completion percentage and from the parts of the game I saw, it wasn’t because his WRs were blanketed. He straight up missed some open receivers.

Meanwhile, we have a balanced offense with both rushing and passing offenses in the top 27 in the country and an OL that is 3rd best in CFB in not allowing pressures. Oh, and we are the #1 scoring team in the nation and #1 total offense in the country. They can’t just focus on one, because we can beat them both ways. UK fans think their defense is better than Bama.. it’ll come crashing down to earth next Saturday.

He may not be, but you can definitely see him slow down to keep his blocking in front of him. Which I'm not sure why... but he wasn't running full speed when he got caught.

Sampson is also not too far removed from an ankle injury.

Bama media calling out Saban

Joseph Goodman: Nick Saban misses the mark with Jermaine Burton

I'm sure its been discussed ad naseum, but I skipped 50+ pages after being gone over the weekend.
This looks so bad on Saban, but let's face it, it will all be forgotten in 2 weeks unless the girl presses charges, in which I did see from a post, she has no desire to do so.
Feel bad for the father of the girl, and the girl, this shitbag ends up with in life.

 

[MemphisVol3]

What I am saying is they won't let us win. I hope I am wrong, but I think we start getting the screw job against Kentucky and especially UGA. They want us to be good, but they do NOT want us in the SEC championship or Playoffs.

I hope it is just paranoia, but yesterday's events triggered it.

I hope I am wrong. This team really deserves a fair shake.

Yeah, we gotta continue to go out with the “Us vs The World” mindset when it comes to the zebras and certain media members.

 

[Orange.]

Nothing is going to happen to Burton. But Saban just gave UT a gift, and we should take it. UT's position on Tank should reiterate Saban's position on Burton.

"He was scared. A guy burst into his GF's apartment. She was there. We talked to them. He was scared; she was scared. We have him in a counseling program. It's not an anger management program. That's not the problem. That's not the issue. It's about having the proper respect for other people. We're not going to suspend the guy. If you knew the whole story, maybe you wouldn't either. We're not going to divulge that."

Then play him against UK. He's cleared. Let the legal matter resolve itself. Sankey's hands are tied.

 

[Weezer]

Just because they call you paranoid...doesn't mean they aren't after you..

It's not paranoia when you can point to two decades of evidence...however it is blindness to ignore that evidence.

Saban railed at them loudly all week, and yesterday they all bent down and kissed his butt....how can you deny that?

I don't deny that Bama gets favored by the refs, the SEC office, and ESPN. ESPN definitely hates us. But sometimes, you get a little bit scary.


Don't worry. I'm not going to Burton you.

South Carolina playing well. Team the scares me the most other than GA

SCar does have good ST but so do we. Their offensive strength is their run game with Lloyd which plays into our hands and we should have most of our starting DBs back by then. The backups in the secondary have also gotten more experience. Our offense will light them up and gas their D. They will not do well playing from behind 2-3 TDs after the 1st quarter.

I do agree that they are our toughest challenge other than UGA (unless we are still missing a ton of guys against UK) but we should beat UK and SCar by at least 2-3 TDs.
UGA will be a battle and so will the SECCG if we get through UGA. Bama will be hard to beat twice due to Bryce Young, LSU is figuring things out and might go to ATL. Facing their solid defense and a Jayden Daniels who is effective in the run and pass game could be tough. Ole Miss should be a good match up for us if they go. I think we shut down their run and Dart is good but doesn't have a ton of weapons to throw to....I also would love to beat Lane and get revenge for last year.

I prefer not facing a team we have already played this year so I'm hoping Ole Miss goes to ATL. Lastly, if we lose to UGA then I want them facing a team that they will definitely beat in the championship game so we have the best shot at making playoffs with one loss. Pac 12 is out, BIG will only have one undefeated so we need TCU or Clemson to lose.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I can’t tell what happened from the video…. It all depends on what the evidence shows…. If he shoved her with no injury then that is a different then if he punched her or if he punched her and caused serious injury….. the same with McCullough, and Beasley’s incident…. I don’t have any real opinion until all the evidence is out there. I really just want to talk about the football being played. If the police decides to charge him then I am good with that.

Ok

 

[Glitch]

Bc we choose to play very vanilla while the starters are in there…. It is really that simple.

Seriously. We can't afford any more injuries to our two deep and probably played the starters more than most of us would have liked. We just wanted to get the game to a point where we could play the young guys, get them some snaps on film so they can learn and grow, and get off the field with the W. Nobody cared how many points UTM put up in the second half with their 1's vs our 3's and walkons. Well.... almost nobody.

 

[Weezer]

For USC?....yeah that is about their historical speed. I think the best I can say about him is that he is not really a bad coach.

But...he gets more mileage out of MEH than anybody I have ever seen. They treat mediocre wins like the freaking NC game.

Shane Beameh?

@Bassmaster_Vol @HankHill @Enki_Amenra @Smyrna ATL Vol you boys soak this one in

Lolol being a big ass baby

Yep….. you can’t tell anything from a game like this….. good or bad…… it’s ridiculous to try and break it down.

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Guys… what if our game is what starts the demise of Bama and Saban…

It is. Tennessee has historically been the school that’s known for being that school.

Ended Bear Bryant at bama.

Ended Steve Spurrier at florida.

There are others.
Effectively ended dooley, butch, and pruitt. Not in the way that I prefer…

We will be the end of many current coaches.

The Curse Breakers are the bain of our foes. They are our salvation.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

So...did it not kind of shock anybody else that Sampson got caught from behind yesterday? I thought "he gone!"....but nope he got caught by a freaking Skyhawk....after all we have heard about how unbelievably fast he is...

Did he slip? Did he just think he had it made when he got through to open grass and not really turn on the afterburner?

Anyways...I would like to offer that kid (Baker was his name I think) a schollie...pretty sure Heupel could put that kind of speed to good use..lol

Yeah, that did surprise me a little. Hyatt looks twice as fast.

I would poop my pants laughing if Josh Heupel mimicked that Saban press conference and said that.

 

[Ten_Titans]

We beat Bama and are 7-0...

Are people really trying to read the UT Martin tea leaves to figure out if we are any good like this is the first game of the season? Lol

 

[Jackcrevol]

Sampson is also not too far removed from an ankle injury.

he looked fast as crud last night.

I think last night was more imp for the twos and threes than anyone else. Just hope TJ is ok.

Samspon needs to add some weight, and, will need a thumpernl back there as well. I hope its Williams, but, will need another body for sure.

 

[Smokey123]

Tennessee now has a big lead in Yards per game. And is now #1 in PPG with 50. Run defense passed is now top 10 in the country and behind only Uga in the SEC

 

[SoilVol]

Not sure how that's a tough situation. 101,999 other people were able to successfully brave that tempest and not hit a woman.

My favorite is when they portayed Burton's incident as "he shoved a woman because he felt he was in n danger."

So 90 other Bama players and staff didn't feel in danger? Casually walking off the field is body language of someone who feels their life is in danger? Having to lean and reach to hit your "attacker" that's not looking at you and giving you a wide berth is typical for someone being attacked?

And suuure... he shoved her. In the face. With his fist.

She was probably contacted by a Bama Booster within hours and has already received the deposit in the bank!

 

[gainesvol82]

I'm not...we don't need that goober getting recruits to buy in. We have more than enough problems on our schedule every year.

They will always get some decent talent out of North and South Carolina and maybe a few GA kids but we will still beat them for most of the best recruits in the region unless Clemson lands them. We also have a lot of TN talent coming up, will do very well in GA, get some good AL kids, some speedy FL and Louisiana kids, Virginia and the general DMV area's better talent that wants to play in the SEC and we will be a national recruiting brand again....especially with CA kids. All the former USCw guys having success is big time. We will be fine.

Joseph Goodman: Nick Saban misses the mark with Jermaine Burton

Well this guy will probably not be allowed to ask anymore questions. You DO NOT question King Satan. I hope this guy stays on the story

 

[engineerVOL]

And his pirate schtick got old before he left WSU.

He’s a goofball, would have been eaten alive in Knoxville. He wouldn’t have cared, opposite of Butch that way, but he would have crashed and burned hard.

 

[Weezer]

Said it before... but the Schiano incident seriously triggered Herbie. UT fans were all over his comments, and living in Tennessee, he still hears about it. He carries a grudge and he can't resist getting his digs in where he can. It'll be no treat having Herbie and Fowler in Knoxville next Saturday night. I'll be shocked if they don't talk up UK, Levis and Stoops.

Can we storm the press box with our pitchforks and torches?
