Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

LB has been a head scratcher for me for a while but I think I realized something.

Modern offenses are a nightmare for the linebacker position these days. Every RB, WR, and TE is a mismatch for 90% of linebackers in coverage. Especially when the pffense is spread out. That's why you have guys like Carter and Telander getting burned or a step late yet they still say we have one of the best LB tandems in the league and Carter is a high draft pick.

I mean even on a run play in a spread system if the HB or a pulling OL gets the Mike the Will has no chance if the RB gets to the second level. Too much ground to cover because the field is stretched. Then its RB vs S, and we see that outcome ALL the time in our offense.

Far less spread in the NFL so I think scouts overlook some of those bad plays and focus on seeing the guy making the right reads and having the intangibles.

That’s why Ed Spillman is built for it now. He should be playing a lot more. Along with the freshmen linebackers who are faster.

But no bad vibes. We won on the road and got our annual WTH game out of the way.

Dave Neal said that Bama FG was good

 

[zhangliao04]

Well…I’m now glad we have Max as our kicker lol.

 

[Devo182]

I SAID WE NEED TO UPGRADE/ADD to DL

Maybe we should upgrade DN.

 

[zhangliao04]

FTR I’ve always been a Max fan. Kid is good.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

Worst kick of the year….

Some really radical ideas here.

Let's just generally say as a society - "hey, you, please don't send death threats to any of the rest of us. No disclaimers. No groups included. Just all of us. We don't want them. And we won't send them to you.

Ok...thanks for acting like an adult in society"

But Devo, if you can't handle that then maybe you shouldn't exist in society ~blue font~

Wow Bama kicker missed a 40 yarder by about 40 yards

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Wonder if we get punished in the next poll for needing OT to beat a 4-0 team....

Prob drop to 20 at least.

 

[Dadof2Vols]

We need to be able to rotate bodies on the DL. Our defense is better when we can rotate fresh guys on the line.

Any defense is

 

[crawdaddyjc]

lol that kick went sideways

 

[Devo182]

Dave Neal said that Bama FG was good

 

[SoilVol]

That's why I dont get not getting him into position to ein it on the road. Get him over the hump so he can develop his nerves into steel

They were trying to. Heupel was 100% playing for the FG on the final drive but the O didn't execute and they had to throw the Hail Mary at the end.

 

[GVol1966]

And we still scored 41, . We can dump 50 on just about anyone if we stop doing stupid stuff.

27 on offense in overtime

 

[JCVol00]

Desean Bishop appreciate post.

We hadn’t run for squat and he reeled off one of our best runs of the year when we needed it

Im so impressed with him, you ALWAYS see him falling forward fighting for more yards. He and thomas are very solid rb’s

 

[ETNVolunteer1]

Having Moi back today was big

 

[Volunteer821]

SIAP

We are an everything school, we even have the best in the country in the booth. Mike Keith was a home run, no doubt.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Drew Allar is cheeks as my son would say

 

[VolsAgainstTheWorld15]

Are you saying the SEC will never Mike the replay review both like the ACC because,they are crooked?

Maybe I have my tin foil hat on, but yes, that’s exactly how I see it. Too many Bammers in the SEC office. Step one is to get the SEC office out of the state of Alabama.

 

[Volunteer821]

The barking idiots in the stadium at UGA is annoying

FYP.

 

[Deathandtaxes]

GA waking up

 

[SoilVol]

That Bama kick came off his foot like a clay target out of the bunker yikes

 

[peaygolf]

[peaygolf]

[berryvol]

Lmao fair play. I do love the buffs tonight and knish gave out salter over pass yards so I played.
