Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Ulysees E. McGill]

That's actually what ATM tried, and we still ran all over them.

I don't disagree with you that the passing game needs help, but you seem to be the one ignoring the fact that we just beat one of the best teams in the SEC with our passing game looking worse than it has looked all year.

With the running game and defense we have now, all we need to have a very good chance against ANYONE is a decent passing game.

I didn't think they loaded the box in the first half..I think they had confidence that they could stop us without loading the box.

They were wrong about that and so was I, but it was a fair assessment. They had done a great job stopping the run all year...I was not stupid for saying it...and for that matter all I said was they would stalemate us and force the passing game to win it.

We still only scored 13 points with all those running yards, but we won..thanks to our defense playing great and the A&M offense sucking even worse.

Neither Georgia nor Bamas offense, while not great, are as inept as A&Ms.

We will see...once again I hope you are right and that you get to make fun of me and call me stupid and deluded all week next week.

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.

Maybe a half step on that pass, but the pictures show that the pass was very catchable without the DPI draped on him. H was still open, which is why the defender had to tackle him before the ball arrived.

 

[volbeast33]

We're 4-1.

So maybe he isnt that bad?

Didn’t say the team was bad…. just the qb

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.

I’m still slightly side-eyeing Missouri. No one really talks them. They could sneak in especially if we don’t show up on the road. Georgia could lose to them. They’re sneaky pretty good if they don’t shoot them selves in the foot.

The Punt Return by Dee in Spanish by VAMOS VOLS!

Legit!

Freaking chills. What a call!! CBS definitely should have played that one over the Kesling call.

Florida will get killed by UGA and lose to LSU.

Our OL vs their DL is a better matchup for us than their OL vs our DL is for them. Aside from how crazy that feels to say, I think it’s also not being talked about enough. Does Joe need to play better? Absolutely. But I also think we could win a style of game this week similar to the A&M game.

Gotcha, I didn’t see what you were saying yeah they missed a lot of DPI on us, I guess I’m just numb to it ATP.

 

[drvenner]

I hit a waddle and Kupp any time TD yesterday. Huge dub

Not sure what a Waddle and Kupp is, but I know I don't want to see it in person.

Arkansas got FIVE sacks on them......we have James Pearce and Tyler Baron.

Where is @NormalVol when you need him?

I'm not the one calling you anything. Geez, man. You should probably stop inferring that others are deluded with your "veils over your eyes" comments if your skin is thin enough to have to manufacture insults against you.

 

[tomq_123]

Does this being Bama's 8th game in a row without a bye help us at all?

 

[RiseToTheTop]

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.

this guy has been horrendous this season. Drops everything like Hyatt in 2021.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Pearce is a Monster…..

I wonder how many sacks he would have had in that game if Max Was not the greatest falling down thrower in the history of football?

It still blows my mind how accurate he was on some of those crazy throws....most QBs would have had 5-6 ints in that game throwing passes like that.

See...that's actually wrong. Even after our game, A&M is 6th in points (Bama is 9th), A&M is 7th in passing yards (Bama is 10th), A&M is 11th in rushing yards (Bama is 8th) and A&M is 8th in total yards (Bama is 10th)

A&M has played 3 of the top 6 defenses in the SEC (Bama, Us, Auburn) and Miami is a top 3 defense in the ACC. Bama has really only played 2 good defenses in A&M and Texas and we're actually better statistically than both of them.

We prevent Bama from running the ball at will and we've got a chance, their offense is a bottom feeder right now and our defense has been great.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

The door is wide open to Atlanta and the playoffs. If Joe is struggling Saturday I think you have to make the change.

You’re not being honest with yourself if you think there is even a remote possibility that Joe is benched barring injury. And before you respond back, no, I don’t think Joe is playing at an acceptable level right now and wouldn’t mind a change, but we need to accept it’s just not going to happen so we’re wasting our breath and angering ourselves over something that will not change.

 

[itsme]

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.

I do think at some point Milton and the WR's click. We still haven't seen that game from them. Not saying it will happen but my hope is that it happens a few times in the coming weeks. Joe has been a disappointment this year. I did like adding designed runs for him in the A&M game.

 

[volinbama256]

We need Mincey healthy and ready to play... Joe and the WR's need to step the F up this week in practice and be ready to roll...With our ability to spread the field and use our wide splits, no reason we shouldn't be capitalizing on the slant at this point...The staff has to expect that we will not get a flippin call this weekend-- no way the refs/SEC/sankey are gonna let bama have two losses before November and knock them out of the playoff... We are going to have to go above and beyond to get the W, but if the D shows up like this weekend, our Oline can create the rushing holes and give Joe just enough time, we can get another ugly win.

 

[drvenner]

Makes me want to learn Spanish to listen to him over Bob.

Do it anyway without learning any. You will still get a better picture of what is going on.

 

[Revived2002]

Biggest surprise to me is that Bama and Tennessee are close to being mirror images of each other headed into this game.

Couldn’t have typed those words anytime in the preceding fifteen years

We’ve come a long way in the Heupel era

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yep. And then he says "Can you believe that s**t?"

Such a cool, humble guy who can admit/own mistakes and is not so insecure like Butch or Beamer where he throws players not producing under the bus but instead puts the accountability on his own shoulders. This is a man you want to lead you and that you will give your all for because he elevates you and highlights player's achievements instead of self-promoting. Class act and epitome of what being a coach and father is all about.

I hope that sequence of events in the first half does not make him go into a shell...I like that he is aggressive. I hope he can adjust a little without becoming too conservative....guys like him walk a tightrope.

 

[drvenner]

**** Bama.

Double Gauldens to Bama Always!! Always, Double Gauldens.

 

[volinbama256]

Bama certainly going to load the box and try to stop the run... they'd be crazy not to at this point. Joe and the WR's just have to make them pay for it...

 

[Jimmy Football]

Mincey and Lott should be available, per Heup.
