Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

[BruinVol]

Might have to start admitting that Gruden’s a pretty damn good HC!

yep
he’s doing a hell of a job

 

[butchna]

Thanks , Well you just agreed with me. My first post stated he did not have happy feet by panicking. I thought it was just his personal style of staying balanced. I believe he did the right thing by eliminating it in the NFL. I know Florida Gators were big in stating Manning had happy feet because he was scared.

He didn’t “correct” it tho! He went another way. We mostly agreed.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Not true just because you got a “report”. So Namath had “hype” and also had a strong arm. So did Heath.

IDK if Namath’s arm strength was above average or not for his era but there was hype about it. Shuler’s arm strength was not above average for his era.

 

[butchna]

I hear he has land in East TN.

And he always will.

 

[DarkAvenger]

Ability to avoid tackles and gain yardage, yes they are similar.

Hell let’s say Jalen Hurts was like Kamara then... Jesus

And I say it was...and I’m not alone.

 

[SpringBokVol]

really pleased our team had issues and kept them in the locker room.

LOL. It was a fault so he corrected it by going another way. There were more negative than positives with the choppy steps otherwise he would not have gone the other way. Man you guys like to argue just for arguments sake.

Today I listened to Pruitt’s game week presser. I listened to Derrick Ansley before the Knoxville Quarterback Club today. I listened to Jim Chaney also in his appearance before the Knoxville Quarterback Club today. I listened to Bob Kesling, Pat Ryan, and Jeff Francis on the Big Orange Hotline this evening. The thing about it is if I understood them correctly it appeared to me that all these guys were basically saying the same thing in regards to the game this coming Saturday.

This in a brief recap of what each had to say:

That's a lie, Bob Kesling would never pronounce it correctly

You can say that. We were talking about a play making ability standpoint. Jesus!

Always leaving that door open.

Siap

Need a partner to do that...glad you’re up for it!

Reports.

Making plays is one thing yet neither are on the same level of agility or overall athleticism of Alvin Kamara. They are nothing similar, JJ made plays and broke tackles and he isn’t close. You’re comparing Dobbs to the most gifted athlete to come through UT Football since arguably Patterson.

And I'd bet every team had their issues with everything going on this year. Glad we have CJP leading the locker room, Fulmer on the back end, and everybody pulling in the same direction.

It's hard not to feel good about the direction of all of our athletic programs right now.

Dobbs was very close to Kamara in college in playmaking ability. Kamara was far better in his first two NFL seasons than he was in college and not because he was under utilized by Butch. Kamara improved in the NFL just like Michael Jordan improved in the NBA.

 

[Vol423]

I don’t think his arm strength was exceptional by NFL standards. The arm strength was hyped by some organizations whether UT or sports news. It made one believe that he had Joe Namath arm strength ( if Namaths rumors about arm strength are true).

I’ve never heard anyone say that Joe Namath had a strong arm.

I’m going to wash my face and drink some coffee like Jackie Gleason did in “The Hustler”. I’m ready for the 2nd round.

Yeah... no.

 

[franklinpence]

Aisle help clean it up if you will.

Was wondering where all this Dobbs v Shuler talk came from. Was so much nicer when the Off-Topic thread was the RF landfill...are we still good to pick on/give credit to @Ulysees E. McGill for nuking that thread?

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

Yeah... no.

They were close. Dobbs was very exciting. He just completely took the game over in some games.

I’ll wait for you...maybe jog in place.
