About Nico

[FortSanders]

Tennessee needs to spend more NIL funds to hire a backup QB. Nico missed throws and open receivers. He held the ball too long. He was too slow on his release. There needs to be another option.

 

[Orange defense]

Good grief! Here we go again! Stop!

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Shut up. He was the only guy who showed up and looked like he belonged on the field with Ohio State.

We need an o-line, receivers, and defense. Everyone other than Nico was putrid tonight.

He'll be here for another two years. MacIntyre will probably be the backup.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Receivers can’t get open and the o line won’t block, what do you expect

 

[Jaxon_Vol2017]

This was on our awful coaches. Josh is a joke

 

[FortSanders]

Nico is Guarantano version 2.0. He holds the ball too long and his release is slow. He also stares down his receivers.

 

[CNCVol88]

Dumb take. Nico was the only one trying.

 

[SGMVols]

Nobody transfers to be a backup, folks.

Qb is least of our problems. Plenty of backups on team or coming in. Need OL and WR

Agree everyone else was ****, at least Nico was trying

He was the only one that gave a damn about the game . He missed some receivers every fkin qb in the world does that. Tom Brady misses WRs. He’s a freshman and the passion was there, the rest will come.

 

[VolTom1]

I actually sorta agree, but I blame the coaching for not getting him ready. The issue is the coaching staff.

 

[wmcovol]

Nico needs two OTs that can play. RT was horrible tonight & left wasn’t much better. WRs were covered all night long. Brady, Manning Montana or Marino would have gotten killed.

 

[VFL1415]

nico had no time! and the receivers had no separation! Nothing Nico could do

 

[DeadVols]

There are multiple offensive problems, but Nico either doesn't understand leverage or refuses to use it on the stack screens and really neglected Kitz all game long. There were open guys on a lot of those QB runs. Ohio State didn't need to press all game long. Granted, our OL sucks balls.

 

[Chad Powers]

I will say that he does need some real competition in practice. Glad he’ll have that next year.

Not a single player on our team looked like they belonged on the field with Ohio state. Nico included. But, he is by far the best we have and it’s not close

His position is secure because of his NIL deal. No one will come in to compete with that. He is the current version of Guarantano.

 

[Cartervol]

He got no help tonight but he's got to get a tougher mindset..Seems timid at times.

I'm a pretty big vol fan as my 2nd team but you guys have a garbage as hell fanbase who are absolutely manchildren, loser mentality bunch of sorry people.

To the vols who are the opposite you are incredible people, peak southern class and comfort. Likely actual graduates, educated and logical

 

[Smackdaddy46]

Effort is there. However, he holds the ball way too long, stares down receivers and still is getting baffled by different defensive looks.
There’s no reason with his size and frame he should be rushing the ball 16-20 times a game. Hes not built like Milroe.
I’m also not sure he’s the answer.

Give Dave Clawson a call.

Coaching and WRs. OSU dialed up those misdirection short passes on the edge and we didn’t try anything other than what we’ve been doing all season.
