Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Ashevolle]

We ain't beating Bama at home(unless Milton and WRs play better) and we ain't beating UGA with a one dimensional offense either...and one of UK and Missouri...or both...are beating on the road(once again..unless Milton and WRs play better).

I know everybody is on a post-game high that pulls a gauzy film over everyone's eyes to the horrid crap our offense truly was in that game...we scored 13 points....at home...and yes I know it could/should have been more with a few less drops, few less misses, few less busts, few less bad ref calls-no calls...but it wasn't...and it's been that way all season.

You guys can look past all that...I can't.

It's possible but our defense is too good for me to assume we're losing to Missori or UK

Did Josh Pate pick the Vols this past weekend?

Nope, picked A&M but with the disclaimer that it could go either way.

 

[VFLBerg]

Did Josh Pate pick the Vols this past weekend?

Yes, but he wasn't confident.

 

[VolNRaleighNC]

Giants HC about to fight the QB or the OC that called that run at the goal line with no timeouts to end the half.

Yeah, I think bama will sell out to stop the run and try to make Joe beat them. But the good news is we only need to hit on a few of those opportunity's. I don't think Bama will score 20 points in the game. I also think with the pressure our defense will bring we will have some chances to get some turnovers.

 

[KptVFL]

More than one instance dating back to last season…especially the display at South Carolina. If he misses the boos with his recent play, he’s got the perfect formula for their return.

Oh.... am well aware!

Not a fan of the "flash" personally. Didnt want to mention jr last year.

I hope so...I hope they flip the switch and burn them.

Bama has one of the worst pass protecting OLs you’ll see this yr.

Pearce may be better than LL at the same age. . .

possibly, as a pure edge rusher. LL seemed to do it all. Also, pretty sure he was a Juco.

 

[mrmax86]

Did Josh Pate pick the Vols this past weekend?

Yes and he was also very confident in the under

 

[KptVFL]

Nope, picked A&M but with the disclaimer that it could go either way.

That's pretty convenient. Is that even a pick? And I like the guy in general.

 

[smokeyhuntsgators]

guys I really hope we beat Bama this week

We got this!

Vols by Fiddy!!

Just as an aside, the UT student who created “Spooky Rocky Top” is the brother of the boy who was killed on Kingston Pike at the beginning of the semester. Both are sons of the coach of the UT swim team.

Yeeeaaah. Ive heard it all before.

We have to learn to win on the road.

 

[gordonr24]

Does he survive this year if they miss a bowl? Without rattler next year they're going to take a step back.

He absolutely survives this year. Beating UT and Clemson last year bought him next year for goodwill

 

[The Dog]

Well, I can't hit a NFL bet, today. Same thing with baseball and I know both those sports, like the back of my hand . But, I can hit another hockey bet, that I win just by looking at the leading scorers in the league and betting on 'em. Analytics, I suppose

We're not looking past it any more than you are looking past the fact that UGA and bama are vulnerable, have not played well, and can be beat if we play one of the better games we're capable of playing.

Every negative that you point out, a positive can be said in the other direction. It's more likely we lose to bama and UGA than it is we beat them, but we have a legitimate shot to beat them. It won't take some incredible miracle to beat them. We have the ability with the coaches and players already here. It won't take some act of God, we just need to play to our capability and them (UGA bama) to play how they have all year.

You are only looking at one side, the reasons why we will lose, instead of both sides. There are just as many reasons why we could win as there are reasons we could lose.

We are more likely to finish 9-3 than 8-4 or 11-1, but the point is we have a legitimate shot at 10-2 or 11-1 with the team and coaches we have right now.

he (LL) was a juco. Watch pearce's highlights from the game yesterday, you are gonna ship your pants when you see how well he played dropping back into coverage. He is an absolute stud across the board. . . he can do it all.

The NFL is a scam propped up by Vegas.

I tried to mirror it to my Samsung TV.

Now watching the Giants struggle on offense. If only...speed...routes...system player...3rd round.

 

[mrMet]

I know that sounds extreme but I can easily see us lose to both Alabama and Georgia. The It's not out of the question to lose one of Mizzou or KY, both away games. That Florida loss hurt then and I think it'll hurt again later. JMO.

9-3!!!

 

[tnhunter 10]

Being at the game, I didn't hear it being played either. Crowd did its job.

A lot of his coverage isn't shown in the highlights, but 2-3 are. Hopefully @Freak makes us one of those "every defensive play" videos like he does sometimes.

I was impressed with his pass rush/run stopping play, but was really surprised when he was in coverage.
