Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[BigSteve09]

This week has been a total opposite of after the Alabama win. They are coming from far and wide to pile on this one.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I don't know if I will ever be over it either..."nightmare" is the perfect word for it. It was the kind of game that usually gets people fired for sucking at their jobs so bad

Banks and Martinez were so bad that random people got fired for it and their jobs have nothing to do with football or UT.

 

[JCP201]

I’m still not over that game. What a nightmare.

This season has been a rollercoaster. Alabama the highest high and SC/Hendon injury the lowest of low. I can't get over it, either.

 

[Weezer]

You think there are serious underlying issues at florida?

Yes, it's called Billy Napier.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

I like Joe but I think we can expect a step back from offensive production and efficiency. He’s going to miss more routine throws and I doubt his decision making is equal to HH’s

 

[butchna]

He will roll in **** and smell like roses.

Til he doesn’t. Less controversial figures have fallen to scandal. I see him flying right because of his relatively clean living, but I remember him getting sued for not paying for services rendered in jewelry and automotive work before the prep school fiasco. He’s a minor incident blowing up waiting to happen. Mebbe age and this trial run at Jackson State has matured him.

The positive here for Joe is Vandys secondary is actually worse than ours. Not by much but it is.

Nobody on this team really deserves an award like this after last weekend

Decision making is big question mark but Hooker hadn’t been killing it as a thrower…completion percentage notwithstanding. Lot of open receivers with a clear road to paydirt returning to the los recently.

Jalin was standing on the sidelines when Rattler was throwing for a million yards. He had nothing to do with that.

Season long award…and he does.

Hooker was great here but he held the ball forever esp the last several games. Not sure ive ever seen him throw it away.

 

[Weezer]

this still stinks

I don't believe the defense had a good plan at all. Not at all.

When my wife (who’s very fuzzy on nuances of the game) is screaming it? Count it as gospel.

 

[Orange.]

He got blowed out early in his Clemson career by an even worse score...he is a *bastard.

*sanctimonious bastard

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Nah. The pass coverage calls and lack of blitzes with press man coverage was obvious. If he feels better saying that - fine. Whatever gets him through the day. I just want all of them including Tim Banks and Willie Martinez to get their business done Saturday.

No more excuses. That was all time bad and they had a huge incentive to play at their best in Columbia.

Byron did not make an excuse in that tweet...he literally did the opposite and accepted responsibility. That was accountability....not excuse making.

MOAR STEAM!

Hyatt is losing bad , it would not let me vote this time

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Next year with current commits and returning starters when comparing this years starters and depth:

DL: Better
LB: Better (freshmen not playing are better athletes and Jalen Smith is the truth)
DB: Better (some dead weight will portal soon)

OL: slightly worse (portal a good OT and it’s even)
QB: toss up likely worse (In Milton or Nico we Trust)
WR: Better (Squirrel is going to be better than Hyatt and Tillman barely played - Bru will be a monster)
RB: Better (Sampson and Wright plus a portal will be awesome)

This is before any transfers which I am sure we will take a LB, 2 DBs, WR, OT, and RB. That is my guess on what we look for.

I think this is good although I’d say OL is definitely worse, WR slightly worse and I’d argue even with LB

He hasn’t been great recently but his deep ball accuracy this year has been fantastic

Many of you all are beyond tazing, so let's try this

I'm at the point I'm not sure even full-blown electroshock therapy is going to help. My anger is still swelling.

Sidenote, they need one of those anger rooms or whatever they're called for Vol fans.

 

[tnvols72]

Nico and his $8mil should do wonders for team chemistry.

NIL is going to kill the sport

Dude get out of here. Jalin has balled out this year. He absolutely deserves this award

 

[Devo182]

Off a 45+ ppg team, best offense in the land, that would be very reasonable haha.

But I think we can can keep up with the high 30s production from 2021. Milton also has more big run ability imo. OL definitely can't take a step back though. Our OL made huge progress YoY and will need to hold steady for Joe that's for sure.

Our run game could improve though. It took a step back this year. Part to do with no Tiyon. Need a stud RB again or Sampson to take the lead.

 

[Orange.]

I don't believe the defense had a good plan at all. Not at all.

That is an intelligible thing for Byron to say. Blaming others is toxic in his place. He's taking ownership of his role.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What's crazy is midseason we were doing stunts and things I hadn't seen in years. Then all of a sudden, no more, just running right into the OL with no moves or anything to make them think. Don't get it.

That is exactly what I am talking about...why in the hell did he not do that Saturday when that is exactly what he should have done? That is mind boggling stupid...it is inexcusable coordinating.
