Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Ttucke11]

The Braves are definitely a large market organization. It's not 1980 anymore.

That wasn't the point, but fair enough I don't really have an opinion on that. The front office is very good that was my point.

Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer

Great defenses covered up a lot of Dilfer and Johnson's mistakes...those two QB's weren't asked to do much..

 

[Jackcrevol]

I'm not really sure what the message you're sending here is.

That message was total crap.

That grill on the 2016-18 is what I like. That's been one of my favorite designs. View attachment 742687
*not this exact truck but I like the looks of it

My exact truck! Love the look!

i'm not sure that this is an accurate statement. Its simply a young team.

Experience and maturity are part of the talent equation. A 10 year old can have the most potential in the world, but his potential won't be realized until he's older.

Dilfer is one of the ultimate proofs that qb doesn't always determine your team's success.

Our talent is taking a step back this year.

Looking at things realistically, we enter the season with an unproven OL and unproven WRs. We'll also have a QB who just started learning the system and only has summer camp to actually get out there and execute. Running backs could be good but have huge shoes to fill. And TEs probably rely on how hurt Kitselman is. It is very fair to say our offense is one huge question mark. It could be great. Or it could be bad. I certainly can understand why we would be picked at 8-4.

And I think a lot of how our defense does will depend on how well McCoy recovers and LB play. LBs need to take a step forward this season like secondary did last season. Definitely think we'll have to lean heavy on our defense.

 

[knoxvol52]

The first game of season vs Syracuse should be a example of how season goes. If we struggle and win, it's growing pains but if we struggle and lose it could be a long ass season.

On the other hand blowing the doors off Syracuse will be a promising sight to a good season...

I'll repeat myself. Please oh please don't let us have scoreless halves like last year. It was utterly painful. It still surprises me a bit to see a Josh Heupel team struggle so much on that side of the ball. I guess the Hooker year biased me.

Real men get out of the truck to lock the hubs in

I've got manual warn locks on my 93 f150. I like it that way

I think winning that game either way doesn't tell us much.

Syracuse turned out to be pretty good last year. I don't know what this year looks like for them. But anybody that win a close game against them last year probably felt a lot better about that game by the end of the season.

Conversely, we felt really good about that win in Norman at the time, but by the end of the season...

Just win.

They take great pictures!

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Jeez, I had no idea that there were people all over the masts of that boat, like 50 or 100 people up there. That's crazy. . . and the pros standing around laughing on the shore. . . some of those people laughing need elbowed in the eye-socket.

Good thing we aren’t starting any ten year olds.

 

[dmwvol12]

He is not there this year

He’s batting .350 this year with 10 home runs and 60 RBI’s which leads the team. All career highs. Plus he’s a boss in the outfield. This team has some shortcomings but Hunter is not one of them.

I prefer Sony. . .

Where is MIT??

Much like Ward, the mods were a little hard on the Beaver.

The logic applies to 18 year olds too. One uses extremes to highlight the logic of a matter.

But we lost 2 nfl DL, so I'm not optimistic our DL will be as good (though it will be good). Just too many drop offs at too many positions to say well be as good as last year. Especially when everyone on our schedule will be as good or better than last year (except maybe arky).

 

[Vol423]

Brad Johnson, Trent Dilfer

These are the two textbook examples. Trent Dilfer was horrendous, but even he couldn't prevent the Ravens from winning the Super Bowl.

Negative. The overall talent level has increased.

Individuals better pull for Alabama to beat Missouri tomorrow because if we play Missouri Wednesday that's a big kick to the crotch on SOS... If individuals are still praying for Tennessee to host this is the way... Roll Tide over Missouri...

Max absolutely punks Soto here
