Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

It sounds like Pruitt is content rotating all them long term. I don't think that's best but maybe it pays off.

I trust Pruitt, but I hope not.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Stay out of their closets.

Oh...he's out of the closet sounds like..

 

[Big Sun]

Not sure what the issue is with the Oline but I’m willing to bet it’s not coaching. I think as the season goes on the coaches will figure out where each guy fits best and keep them there. And on the Fulmer helping out part, y’all honestly believe CJP and Fulmer haven’t talked about this?

If Phil was out there he was obviously asked to do so. Maybe get a reaction out of the players.

 

[BruinVol]

I trust Pruitt, but I hope not.

Same here. His quotes yesterday made me think he is going to keep rotating them though.

 

[BruinVol]

Lol

Pruitt is hell bent on creating depth for sure. It’s unreal the amount of players that have participated this far. I believe it’s a brilliant strategy to create depth, but we’ll see if it works

 

[Chief Vol 13]

He has assistant athletic directors.

I had a career in industry as a projects control manager for large capital projects. In a $400 million project my cost tracking portfolio might have 2,000 or more line items but more than 80% of the money was being spent on just 10 of those items. I didn’t care if a $25,000 item went over by 100% or even 200%. I cared a great deal if one of those 10 items was going to go over by even 1%.

Football generates 80% or more of the athletic department’s entire revenue. I don’t at all think it’s unreasonable for the director to pay outsize attention to it, even if it’s only for 2 or 3 hours per day. It probably makes a bit of difference that football is his expertise but then again I’m happy he’s not neglecting our rowers.

Fulmer is my horse even if he don't win a race (which he has and will). I just wish he was a little younger so he could be the AD for at least 10-15 years.

Honestly I don't think that many OL played against WV. It seemed to be a steady group other than Hall playing one series at G and when Smith got Hurt. Maybe late in the game was different but it seemed consistent most of the first 3 QTs

That’s what I thought too, and they improved drastically over the game

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Lol

Maine coming in tossing that salt

 

[Vol464]

Don’t care what VQ said - fulmer is not out there coaching nor has he been at every practice.

And for some practices he might have only stayed for 5-10 minutes.

This is being way overblown.

Of course it is.

 

[engineerVOL]

Crab and Shade. Dished out daily in Maine

[engineerVOL]

Gooden is gonna be on that list one of these weeks.

 

[UTMark]

Same here. His quotes yesterday made me think he is going to keep rotating them though.

He said if the top 6 to 8 OL are equal in talent, then he'll rotate to keep fresh bodies. If it's a top 5 and then everybody else, then 5 will play and the rest will watch.

 

[BJHSVol]

Lol at arkansas having 2 guys on the team after losing to CSU

He also is going to try and limit reps to stay add healthy as possible.

 

[volfanCLT]

Simmons is so good

 

[VAVolsFan2009]

The pass blocking has been adequate. It's the run blocking that is a mess. There's no push. I think it all comes down to strength. One offseason of serious strength training is not going to make up for years wasted with the previous coaching staff. We should see the OL getting closer to SEC strength levels next season.

 

[The Dog]

Just because Col. St. ran about 100 plays, so Ark. had so many tackles

I have been wondering if it's more physical or mental mistakes. I was under the impression a lot of the issues have been communication or lack their of of knowing what to do.

 

[JCLawyerVol]

I wouldn't be so sure but I am sure an assistant coach isn't likely going to voice such a problem to coach Fulmer.

Why'd you call him "Coach Fulmer?"

HE'S THE AD, BRUIN! He isn't a COACH!

Goes back to the playing multiple guys at multiple spots theory...

Wayne Basler is a good man.

Also worth noting that Jordan does not run with best vision. A few of the goal line plays when he got stopped was bc he didn’t follow the blocks. Banks demonstrated better vision and had more breakaway runs. I’m curious to see how Chandler runs.
