Recruiting Forum Football Talk IX

I'm not a fan of McElroy. How do you like that, Greg?

"Not real threat as a runner."

Joey rushed for 60 yards, 12 ypc, in his last game. Ty Simpson doesn't have 60 yards rushing...for the season.

To be fair that’s only because sacks count against his rushing. Simpson can move and seems like our fanbase is discounting that.

We just need to put pressure on him but not let him scramble. He’s athletic

We are headed in a really bad direction in college football. A lot of fans have their heads buried in the sand.

I actually agree more with your points, but the Film Guy this week did show that against AR we played more zone and when we did - while they had success against us - it took longer. Lol

So if using the bend but don't break philosophy our recent zone attempts took longer to break. Lol

We just aren't an elite defense so no one thing will make it so. I think we need to play multiple but I agree with you make it easy for guys to play faster and smarter. Whatever that is.

I agree. I’m mostly pointing to playing more man against Bama because Ty has feasted off of zone defense. Main thing is just win. We want things to be better on defense because we saw what it could be last year. But at the end of the day, find ways to win and that’s all that matters. Might drive us all insane but if we are winning, that’s the main goal. Whether it’s being multiple, bend don’t break, as long as we have one more point than the other team at the end then that’s all that matters!

Damn it boy, you gonna bottle and distribute?

Hahaha it is forbidden. It won’t be in till February at a minimum anyway

A 9yr old Taylor BIB single barrel and an 8yr Stagg single barrel sounds awfully good.

What do you say @InVOLuntary @MetalVolunteer @Buddy’s Bandit

Watch this and it may help explain why others are saying zone.

Pour me one

I don't think people realize how hard it's going to be for Alabama to cover three really good WR's on Saturday. Especially when all three have the ability to beat you down field and when you have no pass rush to disrupt the QB.

I think everyone is tracking that point, but the question is can we defend them at home. To me that's what it will come down to. I expect a lot of points scored.

 

[Aesius]

I just hope the game doesn't unfold in a status quo way. Refs screwing us over on crucial 50/50 calls. Soft zone defense that allows Bama to dink and dunk down the field. And then a costly turnover that kills a scoring drive and flips momentum. Feels like we'll get all three, though.

How bout 2?

Got me this cigar for Saturday as well

Come on now. Sack up. We put too much negative stuff into the ethos. We gonna handle business like men

If this is you @TN-POSSUM you need to go straight to jail

All of that will happen. We'll come out on top though

I'll be pleased if we can weather all of that and still have a chance to win the game late. Joey is due for a Heisman moment. Would be sweet to see Ty Simpson crumble under the pressure late and Joey rise to the occasion.

Yes.

 

[BigSteve09]

Stoops is totally going to leave

 

[CABVOL]

How do you say 'I have little kids?'

Grands but yes. Lol

 

[Orangeburst]

black gloves on green grass makes it harder to overturn catches in replay as well

yea, but our hands will be hot with black gloves

 

[Orangeburst]

These guys have to feast

Moi pancacked his guy into the QB..

 

[Hardy]

Heading to bama tomorrow morning. Haven’t heard too many people say they were going. Anyone?

Pregame at District on Saturday?

Not taking anything from Simpson, he's playing well...can move, too. I was speaking to McElroy; and, even if im taking nothing away from Simpson's game, the numbers are still the same.

Yes, OLine a HUGE factor. But, Bama's OLine was suppose to be the best in the country, and ours supposedly sucks?? At least...that's what I was told.
