I for one am glad Nico is gone

[temptn]

The offseason Volnation board was getting pretty boring. I think the upcoming season was kind of, Meh. But now every game will be an adventure, and the time between now and the first game will be a terrifying rollercoaster.

With the inexperience guys we have at skill spots it was going to be like that with Nico or not imo.

But now we may be looking at a true freshman starter and Tennessee native in George Macintyre. That’s a lot of youth.

Deasean Bishop and Star Thomas at RB are the old guys out there and we will need those guys and Peyton Lewis to run that rock!

Now I understand the lack of urgency and fire in the offense this past year. Let’s get a QB who cares about WINNING

If Merklinger and Macintyre are anywhere close it needs to go to Merklinger, who can scramble. We need someone with a more aggressive mindset than Nico and Joe. I can live with some mistakes, but we need to get that killer instinct back.

Which can still be a lownkey individual of course. Hendon was a cold blooded and efficient assassin

It’s Joey Hazle.

2 years running on Milton and then Nico and now his effectiveness is already taken hold in Merk.

I Wonder of we might have been holding on to Hazle because of his close relationship with Nico?

Just let them punch themselves out.

Ever think maybe Nico held Halzle back?

 

[ATLVols]

As a fanbase, we have been conditioned to expect drama and maybe even want it. At some point, we have to learn that no drama is often a good thing. Just keep getting a little bit better each season and you reach the top.

 

[ftsandersvol]

Nico has turned out to be a Pre Madonna. What team would really want someone that’s only going to spoil the locker room?

Obligatory.

 

[Frivolous]

Oddly, I’m not upset about it at all. He wasn’t all that.

 

[loservol]

I would give him a benefit of doubt, if it wasn't for watching Milton before Nico struggling.

That very well may have been Milton’s ceiling

It is a little shocking UT doesn't have a senior WR on the roster. Brazzell is a R-Jr and then 3 or 4 other R-JR that you never have heard of. After that you have Sophs and Freshmen.

So you're saying that it will be the same as usual.

 

[Cartervol]

He may end up being great somewhere else but i had my doubts he was ever going to put this team on his back and carry them. He wasn't going to run 10-15 times a game and stay healthy, slow at reading defense, didn't see wide open receivers, overthrows. He was going to have take a huge leap this year. May be part of the reason he left. This pressure cooker might have been too much.

Yep

 

[Elhanan]

I wanted to see him develop under Hype.

I kinda hate the kid is gonna have a wasted career.

As it should be. These threads get too long. This place was better when there were more idiotic threads
