Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Jackcrevol]

Yeah...I actually agree with you for once...now I feel all yucky..

 

[Jackcrevol]

He is just not good

We're 4-1.

So maybe he isnt that bad?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Any update on our injured guys? Mincey, Pili, & Karic?

I don't like our chances if Lane and Dayne are starting on the OL on the road against Bama...

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Someone please conduct a well check on Gary Danielson. Brock Bowers having surgery and will be out 4-6 weeks.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Was the crowd noise noticeable on tv?

Not really...on TV it was way louder than the crowd when they played that weird version of Rocky Top. They definitely did something in production to quiet the crowd and it pissed me off....like they were trying to justify Gary's comments about Neyland not being any louder than anywhere else

 

[drvenner]

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

No he didn't. He picked Tennessee but said he didn't feel great about it.

 

[SpringBokVol]

That's insane

 

[SpringBokVol]

Heupel about to have his press conference - hope we get some good news injury updates.

McKee said a while ago pili won’t be back until November

If our WRs would just catch the ball. . . those 3-4 drops a game would make a huge difference.

But...that's the problem...they have done that in every game all year long, at what point do you just say they obviously just suck at catching the ball?

Keyton blows my mind...it makes zero sense...he made soooo many tough important catches last year and he sucks butt this year. He should have at least 3-4 more TDs and lord knows how many more yards....just because of drops.

Rattler and Johnson are both better QB's but Rattler had a terrible OL, one good run play by their RB and only Legette to throw to. We ate TAMU's OL and WR's up.

Milroe worries me more because it's on the road, SEC officiating Bama bias, more weapons to throw to and he can make a sure-fire sack into a long run or extend long enough for coverage to break down.

I think we can overcome those things but not sure we can overcome the holding that Bama's OL and WR's will get away with or the holding and PI their DB's will get away with against us. I'm sure their will also be some blatantly crazy other calls that go against us....especially ball spots.

I believe we will have the same gameplan as Bama. Stop their run, spy their QB and take the chance he wont hit the bomb. This game will be decided on two things IMO. 1) who hits more deep throws. 2) Who doesn't turn the ball over (including not converting on 4th downs).

This is a game that neither team should be afraid to punt, even if you're at the other team's 40.

 

[SpringBokVol]

I didn't realize he tipped it to himself. Dang.

And Volbeast33 will defend the scum afterwards and claim there is no crookedness or bias among officials...

McMurphy is apparently saying Bowers is out for the season.

Don't know his injury situation, but even if he could come back the last few games, he's probably being advised to prepare for the draft. Kind of makes sense. He has two rings, and he will be a first rounder.

 

[drvenner]

ESPN says our odds are:
23.6% Bama
70.3% UK
61.5% Mizzou
34.6% UGA

Assume UConn and Vandy are locks to make it easy

Works out to
11-1.....3.5%
10-2.....21.8%
9-3.......41.5%
8-4.......27.4%
7-5.......5.7%

Thanks. Now, I am all in on 10-2!!

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Pepridge Farm remembers when we'd never be able to run the ball on ATM and would likely lose.

Ok...

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Need a disclaimer to wear headphones on this one. Several coworkers of mine looking around like "what the hell was that?"

 

[KPT_VFL]

Us losing to UF really put us behind the 8 ball… they could back door their way into Atlanta if UGA drops to us and loses one more somewhere. We have to win out for a shot. If multiple teams had two loss UG would have tie break over us.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

With your most recent predictions, one would think you'd restrain from calling everyone else deluded.

Still the truth

22:40 in Feak's video, another perfectly thrown deep TD with uncalled DPI:

View attachment 587630

Milton is told to throw the ball to the pylon. Look at that ball (in between staring at how that DB is draped all over the receiver.

View attachment 587631

For those counting, that's two perfectly thrown touchdowns in the first quarter. But alas... Let me correct. That should have been.

He’s been a second too late on throwing those passes, had two guys for touchdowns that game if he lets it loose. Timing and anticipation is everything.

 

[Brillovol]

Worked out for us though because he ended up throwing an int this play, whereas if they would’ve called it then the play would’ve been dead

Oh not complaining, but 9/10 times this bites us in the butt. How is the line judge missing these calls?!

Again, the system is broken.

 

[Orange_Crush]

Let's not forget. This was just... dropped. Bounced out of the cradel.



That's 21 points in long pass TDs that Milton delivered but never showed up on the scoreboard, between DPI and dropped passes. This is with almost 4 minutes left in the first half.

 

[itsme]

It’s going to be a joy watching a game wrecker!

I don't know how much Rodney Garner makes but it isn't enough. We need to double his pay. This d-line is a wrecking crew.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

We're about to be Bama's 8th straight game and based on their last 2 performances it looks like they are wearing down.

at A&M they won 26-20 but were held to 344 total yards and gave up 306 (we gained 332 and held A&M to 277)
vs Arkansas they won 24-21 but were held to 415 total yards and gave up 250 total yards

Arkansas should have been a game where they ran away with it, but they got out played in the 2nd half.
