Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Cosmo Kramer]

hmm, is this why we're having the debate about Larry Bird the last couple of days?

Did you use Chloroform or pay her/him a lot of money? No judgement here.

Ignore the man creeping up on you with a white kerchief in his hand.

Thanks for throwing your team and HC under the bus on the way out of town Donte!

Personally, never felt like he was part of the team.
Definitely not a VFL.
Maybe we’ll learn from this and go after better fits.

I do wonder if that is why we may have struggled a little bit getting a transfer WR.

Coaches are absolutely using that against us in recruiting

Is being truthful when questioned really throwing the team under the bus? We've heard this same question over and over again where our WRs are involved.

It's not just opposing coaches saying it. I've heard many football analysts/commentators ask the same question, and they've reported it as a concern among NFL GMs. We don't run a typical pro-style offense that teaches route trees.

I've heard the same thing as well. I just tend to keep my mouth shut when the topic is brought up on here...

This........ And I'm a believer in our coach. But there's only one way to change narratives.... You prove it wrong. And if we want CJH to be successful as our long term coach he has to change that narrative.

A.P. has been pretty consistent that the reason they are struggling to nab a WR is that they are telling portal WR's that they would be transferring to UT as depth pieces and would be paid as such. These dudes want starter positions and starter money and we just aren't going down that route atm.

This year will be telling as well. Does the offensive system change and adapt? I really hope we don't suffer through some of the scoreless quarters that occured last year. Painful and seemed obvious that change was needed. That didn't come however with a shakeup in coaches. Go ahead, throw over the middle more. Involve the Tight Ends more. Perhaps don't throw to the flat 80% of the time. Maybe?

Agreed. Hard to believe someone is giving their all for Tennessee when they tap out of the game every single time they get tackled

Did we see anything from Hyatt, Tillman, Velus, Keyton etc making these type statements?

Yes, it is throwing the team under the bus. He could have answered much more diplomatically and without saying “go back and watch my Oregon film if you want to see me running routes”

A VFL doesn’t say things to damage the brand

 

[LaagerVol]

Lakers give all his 1st round monies to Bronny? Man still can’t afford to buy long enough britches since he hit that growth spurt.

Maybe it's a sign he's gonna be traded to the Knickers.

Competition should always be open. Playing time should be EARNED, not guaranteed.

When D.K. Metcalf finds out Mason Rudolph is his starting QB in Pittsburgh.

that would work if payment was earned but it is upfront.

It has begun.

so fake.

Those statements were made about them when they were drafted. As far as I know, they were never interviewed and asked that question. If they were, I wouldn't have been offended by them being truthful.

You can hide your head in the sand all you want, but the fact is, that narrative is out there, and it's not just coming from opposing coaches. NFL personnel are saying it.

Rumor has it they are trading back for more picks.
