Oh yeah another Saban bust lol

You don't think he's a bust? Explain.

I said, " Oh yeah another Saban bust".

 

[Mike4Vols]

Sorry. I thought you were being a SA. My bad. Carry on.

Seriously if Trent Richardson's nfl career sputters some more he can make money as a power lifter... Dude has the perfect frame and the natural gifts. Dude is a weight room beast.

I'm not sure how it could sputter any more without him being unemployed.

Consider this stat: Only 13 running backs in NFL history have averaged less than 3.0 yards per carry on at least 160 carries in a season. Richardson did it in 2013.

 

[VAVolsFan2009]

Blair should be benching his body weight by now..... Or at the least should've been close to it.

You know the S&C staff is all over him at each workout. I would be disappointed if he wasn't lifting more that his weight. By spring they will have him lifting some serious weight. Our S&C staff has been really successful so far.

 

[Vols B]

When did he come in? Wasn't he a ee?

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

These dudes on this board are funny as heck my man. I'm not really out to get into it with these dudes but Blair needs to put in work. Not benching your body weight is inexcusable. Most jucos at the least have a bench. But I bet if half these dudes saw my workout videos they would think I'm posting someone else stuff. :lol:

Yeah everyone should just "take your word for it."

Ha I literally meant just couldn't get signed. Though he has played marginally better this season from the little bit I've seen. He'll knock around and get into the pension plan. He's still getting by on hype at this point.

Yeah they should.

That sounds really gross

 

[davethevol]

That sounds really gross

Bad flavor and it contains kernels.

 

[CABVOL]

Haha!

Yep. Will probably have to burn 2 redshirts due to injuries. I'm good with burning Dobbs', because I feel good about our recruiting at that position. I don't feel as good about burning Blair's due to our less than stellar recruiting so far at that position. If he can play well and help us get to a bowl, then it will be worth it.

Or maybe they don't mind burning his redshirt because they don't think it's worth saving.

If that was the case, they would have burned it WAY before the 8th game of the season.

They like Blair he just came in out of shape and needs to get stronger. A yr with the S&C Coach will help that.

Skeeter? Is he still around?

Posted in the unofficial pre-game thread late last night.

 

[Tux]

Butch cannot afford to lose games because he wants to redshirt players.

 

[BigOrangeD]

Here you go:

Worley and Thomas most likely out for the game. Jackson very doubtful. We may see Blair in the game. This could get real ugly.

 

[Catbone]

We would lose this game anyway though

 

[Tux]

You do not redshirt players that can help you when you need some victories in the present and immediate future.
