Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[jave36]

What does a kicker know about calling plays? How many in-depth game planning meetings you think he sat in on?

Does he know about team chemistry, the locker room, camaraderie, etc.? Absolutely and he provides great insight there.

To my knowledge he’s never been a coach or anything like that, so what would he know about play calling or game plans?

You're buying into a lazy stereotype about kickers. They know the game better than 99% of the population.

For the first time, Heupel displayed frustration with Milton’s accuracy and hinted that the job is up for grabs.

He was pretty open about his frustrations last week too.

I think Milton could have played in the second half but didn’t. They basically gave him 5 total quarters.

We talk like he’s been trotting him out there and making excuse for him for three years

After only 2 games? Impossible. He's blinded by Milton's greatness.

I'm good with that. Heup knows how to get the most out of his QBs. Milton should feel pressure that he'll lose job and Hooker and Bailey should feel he has the opportunity to win it.

he was one of the leaders on those teams. I believe he had to walk on. Earned a scholly, and became an All American.

Still remembered from those teams.

Waaaaay overused joke.

Mel Tucker looking good.. I liked that hire for Colorado. Wish Shrout was healthy

Do you know he is not at Colorado?

 

[jave36]

The thing is Milton did hit a ton of those. Our recievers just couldn't hold onto them. But Hooker is a liability when it come to turnovers. The question is what Hooker brings worth living with turnovers for? It might be since no one has trouble catching his passes but that includes the dbs.

He's got wheels, that's something. Hooker is a poor man's Milton.

 

[jave36]

Waaaaay overused joke.

I'll be honest, first time I've ever heard that joke

 

[SpringBokVol]

Well Mel Tucker is at Michigan St and Shrout is at Colorado State.

Close. Shrout is at Colorado

Not as adamantly and there was never a hint of a change last week…course winning helps.

 

[volbeast33]

I wonder if they’re just afraid of a bad snap and handoff since they’re never under center

I think that’s the issue…. Still looks like you could practice it for those kind of plays.

 

[volfanCLT]

We don’t have a QB on the roster that can win us games. Have to play the guy that gives the rest of the team the best chance to win.

That’s a scary thought with how bad our roster is.

HB

 

[VolGee4]

Weren't you leaving?

He’s not until he says it so many times. Not sure what the number is, but it’s a lot.

 

[Orange Studs]

Fan base needs to chill out and let the man do his job.

Instead of WRU we be know as IOVERTHREWU LOL

 

[SSVol]

I get it. He's unhappy. But dang.

 

[volfanCLT]

Who’s 4th string? I wanna start pounding the drum for that guy. Get out front on that take

 

[SpringBokVol]

Here is the worst rule in football - that’s a touchback

 

[Nash_Vol97]

A&M QB fumbled that before the goal line

 

[pierce60]

He was a great player/kicker.

 

[tnhunter 10]

HB

I thought HB showed some mobility last year. Maybe not like Hooker, but he can move in the pocket.

 

[KPT_VFL]

Yall literally would be so butthurt if HB led us to wins.

 

[chavisut]

Buffs ball
