Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[VolGee4]

When you rely on the deep ball or the WR screen and avoid the middle of the field like the plague, it's not so hard to avoid picks.

Yet, we scored the most points in school history with Hooker Hooker used the middle of the field to beat Bama.

 

[VolGee4]

I think you're missing the fact that this offense is a gimmick that's been figured out. I also think you're missing the weak evals and coaching at the position.

I think you are wrong and a negavol.

And, that’s not a fact.

 

[SSVol]

Hope Heupel won't get into this kids head and neuter him as a QB. I'd like to see some Hooker-like gunslinger at the position again instead of this coaching/playing scared thing we've seen since '22. This milquetoast football is the pits.

So you think that's what he did the last two years? Weird take regarding a coach that sets scoring records everywhere.

 

[CAVPUT]

imagine thinking Heup doesn’t *want* to play aggressive

The want to might be there, but he doesn't have the confidence in his QBs to let 'em just play. Hence the timid play calling. And yeah, that's on Heupel. He chose Milton and Nico. Bad evals. Backed into/inherited Hooker so he gets no credit for that.

[JCVol00]

I mean if Joe Milton can be serviceable in this offense then aguilar can too

 

[Volunteer821]

I think you are wrong and a negavol.

And, that’s not a fact.

Exactly why I haven't engaged him, his last 3 or so posts have been nothing but bait.

 

[Go Fight Win]

Context. He was usually running his life or trying to make chicken salad in an offense that was from an undesirable part of the chicken. I think he'll be fine in that regard.

This & his OL will be much much better

 

[JCVol00]

I do have to wonder tho how will the team chemistry be if it’s aguilar. New qb coming in and taking the reins without a real competition might hurt the team chemistry

 

[SSVol]

I think you're missing the fact that this offense is a gimmick that's been figured out. I also think you're missing the weak evals and coaching at the position.

So in one breath you criticize the coach for playing too conservatively and in the next you blame it on the system for being a gimmick. It's neither. It's adjustments due to QB weakness. And before you criticize the QB selection, consider that we paid stupid money to get the best available, but sometimes they just don't work like you hope. Even at that, playoffs, so I would hardly call it failing.

Brother Nico was a RS Fr in his first year starting. Did you really think you were gonna see him slinging it like HH?? Did HH look like the HH we knew in his first year starting at VT?

 

[Adam Sandler]

Josh Joseph’s not being a 90 or higher is criminal considering he at one point last season had the highest pass rush grade in the sec

 

[Weezer]

This & his OL will be much much better

Not gonna lie, I have many questions on how good our OL will be. Will Heard play harder this year? Be better? Will Sanders be able to cover the RT spot as a true freshman? Is Satterwhite ready to be starting center?

I don't think it matters. There was never a plan for either of the other QB's to start this year. We bring in a new QB and keep the other guys in the same plan they came here with.

Conservative and gimmick aren't mutually exclusive. As for the choice of Nico, that was Heupels assessment and choice "Stupid money" doesn't make it the right eval/choice. As for the playoffs, I'll grant you that, but it was in large part due to the defense and a weak schedule. Heupel gets credit for the Garner factor, but lucked into the schedule....which will almost certainly flip after this season.

It doesn't really look figured out to me. Looks like bad QB play.

 

[TheRain]

As for he picked the QB's... that's fair.

 

[CAVPUT]

It doesn't really look figured out to me. Looks like bad QB play.

So...evals?

 

[Garren04]

It doesn't really look figured out to me. Looks like bad QB play.

lol dudes running wide open all over the field. Also consider these WR’s weren’t necessarily world beaters.

 

[Vfl2407]

Big fan of their attitude and answer.

Also what a ridiculous question.

Instead of asking what they admired, most reporters ask what are the strengths of the team you’re facing

Good. About time.

I think Nico could still be good but he wasn't ready as a RS freshman. I think Aguilar, with his attitude, could be very successful. jmo

 

[WesTnVol]

The memories the sound of that voice brings back
I‘m truly sorry for the younger fans on here that didn’t get to listen to John Ward and Bill Anderson broadcasts of Big Orange football. It’s hard to explain to the younger generation but most years Tennessee would be on TV once maybe twice in a season, so John and Bill on the radio was it, and it was glorious

 

[Adam Sandler]

I mean if Joe Milton can be serviceable in this offense then aguilar can too

But can he do a standing back flip?
