Swain is Debbie Downer re: TAMU game

[Vfl2407]

Says he's been doing a lot of Tamu film study.
Says this is a terrible matchup for us.
Says we will miss Sutton, JRM, and DKJ more this game than any other we have played.
Says this will be best rushing attack we face.
Both with stable of RB's and a running QB.
Says Bob Shoop has impossible task.

Says the Jalen Hurd situation has been handled horribly.
But, he wouldn't say if it's really injury or not.
Doesn't expect Hurd to play, though.
Says Kelly has to get some quality yards to spell Kamara.
Says Tamu rested all of their banged up last week.
Says we match up much better with Bama than Tamu.

Wish I had slept late instead of listening. :crazy:
But, won't put my head in the oven just yet.
Hope that Swain is wrong and we somehow come back from Texas 6 & 0. :good!:

 

[vols 30]

He's right about one thing - the Jalen Hurd thing has been handled horribly

 

[MustafaRasta]

I agree with most of that.

Unfortunately this game looks like we can get blasted. If the 3 all Americans were playing I could see a Tennessee win but without them it could get ugly. The propensity for the Vols to start slow only magnifies the match up problems.

I see A&M winning big - like 38-17.

I also think Alabama is a better match up. Depending on the team's ability to focus and bounce back(if they lose), I see them beating Alabama.

While I refuse to listen to Swain due to how freaking annoying Seth Stokes is, I'll bet you anything Swain is hoping he can come on his show monday and eat crow.

 

[madbamahater]

If Swain was a little better he could have helped his team win more games is what I gathered from his whine fest

 

[#VFL__]

He's right you know. It's okay to be honest

 

[gnm53108]

After these last 5 games I can't believe people are counting this team out before it's even started.

 

[Stevorino]

While I refuse to listen to Swain due to how freaking annoying Seth Stokes is, I'll bet you anything Swain is hoping he can come on his show monday and eat crow.

Yeah... I like Seth when he steps back and lets Swain be the expert. I could never figure out if Seth just didn't know what he was talking about or if he was just trying to make a counter argument to Swain ... which is impossible when he's usually right.

 

[Ned Ray McWorkher]

That's why they play the game. We will see soon enough.

 

[IPleadInsanity]

I think UT can spot them 28 and still win the game.

 

[norrislakevol]

It is a bad match-up. Swain knows football, I don't think anyone can deny that.

They key is to get to Knight quickly. If we can disrupt him then we have a good chance of winning. We also have to try to contain him. If we win, it will be a nail biter coming down to the last possession.

Swains experience = Major D1 Football
Stokes experience = Madden 16

It also annoys the crap out of me when they have a former player guest and Stokes continues to cut Swain off to live out some fantasy in his head that he actually knows what he's talking about

He's right. Gonna be a tough game to win for Tennessee.

I'm pretty sure that Seth is a poster on this site.
I kind of like Seth.
Yes, he is very young and that sometimes shows.
But, he works very hard and he loves the Vols and hates UGA (like I do....lol).

 

[Teeman]

Sounds about right. Throw in the fact that UT is coming off two emotionally draining wins and the game is at College Station. Winning this game will require a great game plan, flawless execution, and for several players to step up that haven't contributed much yet.

About right. I also don't expect to see Hurd. Just too many critical players out for us to hang with aTm unless a lot of breaks go our way. Bituli, Kelly, Fils Aime, etc. Time to see what these young bucks do when in the spotlight against top opposition. Playing with house money. Throw the kitchen sink at 'em from the get go. Let it all hang out.

 

[General Jack]

Related to defense, is everyone forgetting what Shoop did with Vandy level talent??

Did he mention their 1st string RB is out this weekend?

 

[Rudy123]

Guys, we have an impossible task ahead of us. There is no way we can go in to South Bend and beat Notre Dame. They are coached by the great Lou Holtz and they are just too good. As I recall, we won that game.
We have a terrible match up in the Sugar Bowl. We can't beat Miami. There athletes are better than ours. They are coached by the great Jimmy Johnson. They have the current Heisman trophy winner and they have about 20 top NFL prospects on there team.
As I recall, we won that game also.
"IF" we come out a play from the first play of the game, then we will win the game. "IF" we sleep during the first half, we will have a huge deficit of 28 or 35 points and won't be able to overcome that.

You're correct, he is. But so what? That's my opinion and I won't back down from

How come?

They're defense is significantly worse than Florida and Va-Tech and I know you remember what we did to them.

Its funny how everyone of our opponents keep getting built up before we play. Then we beat them and they suddenly become overrated. Remember how we were supposed to fear for Dobbs safety against Florida's greatest of all-time defense? You see how that worked out?

we're not a perfect team by any stretch but we can beat A&M. The game will be a shootout. We're an average defensive team right now because of all the injuries. BUT THATS OKAY. We have a dangerous offense that can keep us in any game.

Hurd being out while not welcome is not devastating. I don't know if you've noticed but he hasn't really set the world on fire running the ball. Kamara looked better last week. And this team will only go as far as Dobbs takes them.

I personally like the idea of putting the entire game on Josh Dobbs from the jump. Maybe then we won't have another slow start. This team is best when it lets Dobbs be Dobbs rather than being conservative and running the ball inside with Jalen Hurd.

Wasn't suggesting that you do.
I'm sure he's used to criticism.
But, since you know that he reads this, do you have any constructive criticism on how he could improve.
Or, do you just think he is not suited for sports talk radio?

I thought that you quit on this team a few weeks ago and wasn't coming back? Decide to come back after starting 5-0?

Sounds like he's been watching too much Finebaum. But if the info on Hurd is true I believe John Kelly is more than capable of stepping up.
