Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

Yeah, big fan of Telander...but I agree.

Carter & Perlotte as the two starters, play Telander for Carter when he needs a break and then Spillman (in 2nd half) beside him if both Perlotte/Carter are off field same time.

I'd honestly be fine with us going 1 LB on these 3rd and longs...let Boo or another Safety play beside Carter/Telander and see what happens.
Definitely need more speed however you can get it. Love telander's effort. Plays hard and seems to be a smart player. Just not fast enough for what we need at that spot.

Don't shoot the messenger

Basilio just said he's hearing from a radio show host in Oxford that the QB who got beat out for the starting job) (Simmons) will portal and speculation that Nico will land at Ole Miss next season.

Its just speculation (with no confirmation), but that would be interesting if that come to fruition.

Mizzou got pressure as well. I think Bama is a lot better than they were, and they don't kill themselves with silly mistakes.

Agree with your assessment on ty Simpson. He's playing at a high level and understands what he sees from the defense.

If we don't get pressure and disrupt what they want to do, he could do what Carson Beck did to us.

Defensively I think we can definitely hold our own with Joey, the run game and our WRS.

Big thing for me is consistency and reducing the dumb mistakes. We can definitely win this game. Margin for error, much thinner than against Arkansas or MSU.
Count on at least 3 false starts and go from there.

Thing is some of the best cover LBs also have length which Telander doesn't.

Carter is 6'1" and 235lbs
Telander is 6'2" and 235lbs

Perlotte is 6'4" and 210lbs
Bolton is 6'3" and 233lbs

To be a good/great cover LB you gotta have elite speed or great length and good speed. One reason we're seeing Bolton play as much as we are is because he has great length and good speed and Perlotte is inexperienced. But as a team we're a lot better if Perlotte can start beside Carter/Telander IMO.

Such a Kiffen move, I could see it. Even if just to piss Tennessee fans off.

I think Penn State can pull Rhule if they really set in to do so... I don't think they have as good of a chance at Cignetti or Lea.

Who knows with Campbell, his name has gotten floated for jobs I would have assumed were takes in his case but he's still at Iowa State.

Eli would be great...dude is annoying and I'd much rather his cringe self in the Big 10 than SEC.

Just did a film breakdown of Bama vs Vandy and Bama vs Georgia. Here is what I noticed. They is no full game on Missouri yet, so I didn't watch.

- Poster said Sunday that Bama doesn't run the ball well. That's true in terms of big plays. They are more of a ball control run offense that lacks explosiveness. They primarily use the run to set up play action and keep defenses honest.
- Simpson is a zone defense buster. He feasts off of zone defense. More on this next.
- Simpson only threw 3 total deep balls in both games. One was under throw but caught by Williams against Vandy (right). One was a perfect deep throw against Georgia and Williams dropped (middle). Last was a deep throw right and overthrown to Bernard. Most of Simpsons deep throws tend to be high.
- Against Vandy, the only contested throw over 10 yards was the deep ball to Williams. All other pass plays over 10 yards were wide open due to holes in the zone. Only seven throws were more than 10 yards in the air.
- Against Vandy 5 passing plays that went over 10 yards were simple dump offs or screens and all yardage after catch.
Against Georgia he only completed 6 passes that traveled in air over 10 yards. 5 of them were over the middle and many set up by scrambles.
- Against Georgia, 7 pass plays that went over 10 yards were dump off or shorts screens that led to yardage after catch.

Ty Simpson is a typical take what the defense gives you. He almost never throws where he is first looking except for screens. He typically moves LB's and Safeties out of the middle with his eyes and then attacks the middle. He leads drives late in the first half with ease against prevent defenses. He kills zones. He scrambles enough and typically on 3rd and long. He is best on balls in air over 10 yards when he is outside of the pocket. My advice to CTB:

-Don't bite on play action. Just hit the QB.
-Don't be tricked by his eyes. That is how the middle opens up.
-Do not blitz LB's. He lives in the middle. Bring corner blitzes like Miami does.
-He typically only throws outside if defense is in zone.
-We need to wrap up and not go for the big hit. That's how they killed Georgia.
-Jam the WR's all day
-DT's better get their hands up and stay in the middle. Vacating middle is a trap.
-He throws 1-2 picks a game, better catch them. Georgia let him off the hook twice.
-Their kicker sucks, so look for them to go on 4th down often. That means do NOT play soft zone on 3rd and long when they are on our side of the field. They will be looking to get 7-9 yards and go for it on 4th. Do NOT play soft zone on 2nd and long on their side of the field. He looks to get 5-7 yards to set up short 3rd downs. That is what they want.

Also, Vandy has a better defense than Georgia. Georgia had zero pressure on Simpson the entire game. Vandy had 4 sacks, and most were huge losses. If Vandy and Georgia didn't turn the ball over and just took the points (FG's) they both probably win.
Can we get this emailed to Timmy, especially the part that TY FEASTS ON ZONE COVERAGE!!! TIMMY, STAY OUT OF ZONE!!

Zone coverage incoming the entire game.

I think you’ve got Bama called right. It’s all about efficiency for them and they’re dang good at it. UGA plays defense to force teams to execute down the field… and Bama executed down the field all night long. Gotta tip the hat to them. UGA rarely gambles on blitzes and does not prioritize sacks, and it didn’t work against Bama.

The Bama defense can be gashed. LB play hasn’t been there for them.
