Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Glitch]

Seriously...they will call us for late hits early to get in our boys head and slow the pass rush down....watch and see.

They will hold and interfere on defense and offense on every freaking play and get away with it...while conversely they will call holding on our OL early and often to help shut down our run game....watch and see.

And not a damn thing will ever be done about it.

I am hoping Milroe spends so much time on his back on Saturday, he gets accused of prostitution.

Ok I just watched those fugly fellers over at Crain and Co all pick Bama by double digits lol

Their surface level reasons were because Bama is at home and they don't trust Joe on third down. One of them has Bama scoring 34 points despite their defense only being slightly better in total defense. Well why exactly will they be able to score?

You know what they predictably did not discuss? Our sacks per game vs their 130th in the country in sacks allowed. Nor did they bring up James Pearce Jr who leads the country in pressures and hurries with 6 sacks to his name. Annnnd bama's LT has had serious issues all year and fans are clamoring for his benching.

Bama just gave up FIVE sacks to ARKANSAS at HOME. Why is that significant? Well Arkansas is not prolific at rushing the passer. They are average at best.

Western Carolina (FCS) 2 sacks
Kent State they did have 7 sacks but Kent state is basically an FCS team
@BYU 3 sacks
@lsu 2 sacks
Neutral, Texas A&M ZERO sacks (a team we just decimated up front.
@Ole Miss 2 sacks

They average a couple a game against quality FBS teams, but bama on the road? Five!? Hmm.. sounds like an issue for the tide


I will be tracking the media's refusal to delve into this stat throughout the week. Tennessee's pass rush vs their "murder ball" boys is probably the most important matchup of the game.

We also have Omarr Norman Lott back

I’m going to have to disagree. Respectfully. It’s a wasted play. I get why we try it but it never works.

We lead the league in rushing...pretty sure Jush Heupel is smarter than you.

Ancient coins have always Fascinated me.



Also, thanks for the patience you guys have shown me while I post completely off topic antiquities.

Meh...we love cool stuff...it's your thing and I'm glad the Mods let you do it....I think it's fine as long as a bunch of copycat Johnny-come-lately's don't start it.

So the “better” team lost to the “overrated” team?…

WTH?....why do so many if these scumbags lose all sense of objectivity and fairness when it comes to Tennessee? It is literally us against the world...and like I said last night..

I HATE THEM ALL!..

Hilarious how these guys can’t see past recruiting ranking and don’t even talk ab development. Lugenbill saying they were better is funny bc the Aggies got dominated on the LOS both ways. We ran all over them and they couldn’t block us at all. Heup had a bad day and Milton was just awful as always. That’s why we didn’t beat them by atleast a couple scores.



Last yr these same ppl gave Kiffin credit for changing how they played bc they were loaded at RB. And all summer we had to hear how Bama was going back to that old style. But when we do it we don’t get any credit for it. It’s called good coaching and playing to your strengths (or trying to). Jimbo should try it.

Jimbo's only strength is his binding contract.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It’s a bad bad look, I don’t care what people want from coaches.

Whatever....it's still true...people don't want truth, but like I said...I hate Beamer...so drag him all you want....it doesn't bother me.

I will say this...he went way over the line with that tirade the other day....because he is a stupid goober.

The 2nd stat is amazing considering one of Joe's biggest flaws is holding the ball too long.

I actually thought Joe had the best pocket awareness I’ve seen him have on Saturday. Don’t really recall him just holding it too long, looked to get out of the pocket if things weren’t there.

Here’s the thing, if Ollie and Dayne are starting in year 3 that’s an issue.

He’s absolutely getting the most out of the talent he has, but year 3 a former walk-on, 2 transfers, and a career backup shouldn’t be in the starting 5.

His 2024 class looks elite though, I think Darnell getting drafted as high as he did is paying dividends for recruiting.

Don’t know what other options he had if you don’t want transfers in the starting 5. Not like there was a bunch of quality depth when he got here. Guys also weren’t beating down our door the first year of this staff, so transfers were about the only option.

i hope what Tex A&M is going through with this contract will help schools start to reject these decade long guaranteed contracts that aren't tied at all to the team performance. Coaches shouldn't earn the money if the team tanks. I can't believe some smart AD hasn't developed a contract where if the team wins 10+ games the coach gets $18 mil for that year, but if the team doesn't make a bowl the coach only gets $2 mil for that season. Anything in between and the coach gets $9 Millon for that season. But only the $2 mil per year is guaranteed for the entire life of the contract.

Point is the AD could offer a crazy amount for a successful season, in exchange for the coach agreeing that the guaranteed part is much more manageable for the school.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Whatever...it is still true that people don't want coaches to be honest about this.

Drag Beamer all you want for it though...he is a stupid goober...like I said, I hate him.

The dummy went way over the line with that tirade...so drag him.

Do you even read comments before responding? Some times I think you see a comment and just can’t wait to say something smart a**.

I referenced the dive play that we typically run after long gains. Which happened only a handful of times last game.

I’m not referencing the very successful overall run game that we have especially off of RPO’s and counters.

I love it. I hope Bama agrees that we're overrated.

Yep.
Besides him contradicting himself

How are we overrated this year? Who is overrating us right now?

 

[peaygolf]

No reason, just that it made me laugh.............

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I don't ask coaches to be honest. I never get on CJH for injury reports, etc... And there is a difference between telling a lie and choosing what you'll actually say.

Have you ever been in leadership? There's a general leadership principle that can roughly be equated to "Tell everybody when you do well. Tell you when you don't." There's also a leadership principle that states that the buck stops at the top. Yet another calls to keep discipline and problems within the organization. i.e. "Don't air our dirty laundry. If it has to be exposed beyond the individual level, keep it as private as possible, for as long as possible."

Combine these, and you figure that a good leader will take responsibility publicly, while also not pulling their people's pants down and spanking them in public. A good leader will mentor or discipline in private, and protect in public.

Not sure about you, but I come from the servant leader school that carries burdens while acting selflessly.

You may come from a different school, and that's OK with me.

Ok...that was a long winded diatribe for nothing..I actually agree with you...but I still think it's funny.

You really get worked up to blast me don't you?..lol.

Not a fan of Neyland's maxims, I see.

Damn, that's cold.
