Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Who is gonna cover the Bama WRs in man?

Yeah Hood is probably the only available corner that can man up any of their receivers. If we had Gibson, Hood, and McCoy it would be a different story and could probably play man most of the game.

 

[Devo182]

as much as banks is struggling, i think we need too pump the brakes on firing.

we had a good defense last year, and we are incredibly young. i mean if he takes a HC job, then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

We had a good defense last year?

Try the best UT defense in 25 years...and in era in which far more points are scored and attached to a fast offense.

People don't seem to grasp how elite Banks has been here, even with a very fast offense (which was supposed to be impossible to even pull off according to some...). And yes I agree this is a down year so far, but for THIS good of a coach, you deal with a rebuild. Dear god the impatience of some is mindnumbing. Like children.

Let's not Shoop it, again, like KnoxVol said.

I don't really understand why coaches don't do more to protest awful calls during a game.

Like, it was very obvious Kirby called a timeout and it could be plainly seen on the jumbotron during the game.

What if Hugh Freeze had just.... refused to leave the field of play until they took a UGA timeout or charged them with a Delay of Game....

Either he wins the standoff with an entire stadium behind him or they hit him with a couple of sideline warnings and flags and he wins the court of public opinion and EVERYONE will be talking about the corruption.

I have had this very thought numerous times, wishing an entire team and coaching staff would go out on the field and refuse to leave until the game is called fairly, and be willing to forfeit unless their team is given a fair chance in the game.

 

[Derek Reese's jumpshot]

Perlotte is a fast fella!

He could probably run an 80 in the same time Telander runs a 40.

 

[engineerVOL]

Did Banks go back into the booth in the 2nd half?

For the benefit of the doubt, I hope he got stuck on the elevator from the 8-minute mark in Q4 because defense gave up two 80-yard drives.

[Weezer]

Game management. If the offense executes and stays on the field then we chew up all the clock up 2 scores.

It’s not my favorite strategy but that’s what coaches do.

Only our offense is designed to be a Ferrari. So you let it be a Ferrari. Don't try and turn it into a Pinto when you get a lead.

It can lead to bad results.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

SEC finals show did not show or mention the Kirby TO fiasco. They showed the goal line mess twice and complained that GA was not awarded a TD on the play.

The Empire was not this corrupt in its hey day. The Emperor would be impressed.

Buckle up for what happens to us Saturday. I really hope we have a 7 to 10 point lead or more come to fourth quarter, because I want to see what the SEC will do on the heels of last night to try to protect Bama.

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Defense was Jekyll and Hyde yesterday. First half, they looked so unmotivated for most of it. Third quarter, they were fire. Seemed to revert back when Heupel pulled back the reins on offense. Not sure why Heupel likes to throttle back the offense when we get the lead. Foot needs to stay on the gas.

The refs pissed off the fans and the team. They came out with a vengeance.

You can’t be serious. Banks has been fine. He is not elite. He has had two good years and three not so good.

Our own fans cause more problems then they think
We are our own worse enemy
Message board banter is one thing but taking it public and tweeting players and coaches is ridiculous

 

[Garren04]

Yes play Perlotte. And man up on 3rd down for crying out loud lol can’t believe we just don’t adjust on 3rd down

Accurate but parents of D1 athletes need to stay off social media while their kid is in school

 

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

I’d expect to see a lot of zone vs Bama. Don’t believe they want to leave Ty on an island in man vs those WRs.

And Boo has been getting beat m2m by the slot.

If we had McCoy + Gibson healthy and also on the field I think the plan would look a lot different.

I just don’t understand the philosophy. It seems to go against what we would want to do with a fast offense. We shouldn’t want a bend and don’t break. You would want to get the ball as quick as possible to your offense and that comes with the other team getting off the field. Even if that means they score a little more. Instead we let too many long methodical drives that keep our offense on the bench and limit our scoring chances. If we’re going fast and spring fast, we should want a defense that plays man and gets lots of stops and even quick scores by the other team.

We brought in many analysts so banks could focus solely on being a DC and it seems that no self scouting was done. It’s the same defense and that’s what makes me upset. The offense, they brought in Seth and changed the offense in an off season. They did some self scouting and made us better. Offense is steam rolling and truly only stops itself.

 

[VolsnCards5]

I choose to believe that if they call the offsides instead of the phantom snap infraction, we win that game by 3 scores

 

[Orangeburst]

I am happy, but feeling a little salty with punk ass Arkansas.

Zone is UTs weakness...........

Be aggressive and put pressure on TY to make quick decisions.

Nobody to cover their WRs in man. Get ready to see zone

#11 in coaches poll.

 

[RandomUTfan]

Penn State fan on 247. This is a common theme I hear around the country at these programs that have has historic success under the old model and are struggling to match it in the NIL/Portal era. This is why CFB administrators are freaking out and spending millions of dollars a year to lobby the government. A different fan said he was done spending any money on Penn State football.

"Between the fact that tix cost a boatload and the seating is so tight I feel like fighting someone every game to simply sit like a human being and this team being one of the most unpleasant teams in my lifetime to watch I will not be renewing my tix. Same seats for 35 yrs but big game James has succeeded in getting my wife what she has wanted for the last several years … giving them up."

 

[GVol1966]

Who is saying that? They lost to freakin FSU lol. And barely scraped by Mizzou and Vandy. They could also be 3-3...

And Ole Miss and TAMU are ranked above them and undefeated. OU was before yesterday.

There's no clear favorite in the SEC. Whatsoever.

30-14 over Vandy is not barely scraping by

 

[Orangeburst]

Arkansas..41st ranked team of all time by percentage. Suck it meaty okra program.
and good luck with your 2-4 record and coaching search.

 

[SKV84]

Through 3 games we have given up 109 points in the SEC. We've scored 116.

I 100% expect them to keep Petrino. I seriously doubt a better option is willing to take that job.
