Recruiting Football Talk VII

[drvenner]

I know Thornton dropped a couple yesterday but he came here to be a big part of offense....also need Squirrel on the long post routes like last year not these damn bubble screens.... personally can't stand that play may bust one occasionally ...if you want a damn five yard gain run a draw up the gut with Wright... jmo I'm an arm chair coach like most everyone else

I am not thrilled with the WR room to this point. I know we lost incredible talent, but they have had multiple drops, a lost fumble and do not seem to be getting quite the separation. Need to be in sync in Gainesville Saturday.

Also for those who will start beating their chest "we want Nico" don't see it happening unless Milton gets injured... Remember Hooker only played after Milton got hurt and never got his job back....

Looks like we ran about 6 different plays.

Three if you take right and left off.

What am I looking at?

That's the new Shane Train!

Nico's not ready. That's the last thing I want. If that happens, we're in full on "next year" mode.

Our oline has not been that bad… The play you’re talking about Dayne whiffed bad on a block… he’s our 2nd string center rn and will get demoted to 3rd when Mays comes back

Is he not talking about the play where small whiffed as well? Either way that one’s not on Milton.

 

[Adam Sandler]

The head ref is a tenured SEC ref though, and usually he’s been fairly consistent. Maybe a rough night since that wasn’t his normal crew. Not to mention he is a UF grad though

Steve Marlowe, should never be allowed to ref one of our games again.

Yes Dayne whiffed and so did small… but to be fair small has no chance against a 300 pound lineman

I agree %

Joe is what he is at this point. You’re getting an up and down player that while in the game probably won’t be great on 3rd downs (takes away scoring potential) and that’s alright. It is what it is. Makes for way more heart attack moments coming up this season

I’m glad you can see the future with such confidence. I hope you share your betting tips on here so we can all benefit.

 

[drvenner]

This is ...they are just trying to destroy him so they can fire him, and not have to pay him that ridiculous contract.

Did you read the article? He has admitted some stuff and it looks bad for him. The claimant does not appear to be completely innocent, either. Agree that MSU would like to be able to fire him for cause.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Just now watching the game. (Thanks Frank.) The officiating in this game wasn't just one sided. It was egregious. I can come up with no rational explanation for the officiating in this game.

Oh, I can.

 

[Big Orange#1]

Hang up the phone maybe?

 

[VolArtillery]

How are you doing, Brother?

Out here working and surviving post military. Life's pretty good, trying to enjoy time with family. You?

Also we’re 2-0. Anyone already beating their chest for Nico has taken their eye off the ball.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

We won't look anything like this next weekend.

Will be a totally dif team.

I'm not worried.

Agreed. Weird vibes all around, sloppy game all around. Played down to their opponent. This happens to good teams every year

Georgia beat Kent State 39-22 last year.

Well Tbh I am on quite a good run with betting…

Just thought I’d point out the obvious with a 6 year player now? But have a good Sunday!

Vols at #10 in ESPN Power Rankings. Ahead of Bama (#11).

UGA (#1) is the only other SEC school in the top 10.

Share those tips!!

Saturday has me nervous as heck.

We may see Nico by halftime. Joe ain’t it. He may have a good game where we think he’s “fixed” and then suddenly he looks like a true freshman. We need to start preparing Nico for next year and have him ready to go because we have no more cupcakes for him to develop this year outside UConn.

[Vols2DaWall]

Other than the actual game, I am most disappointed in Thornton.

I thought he was going to be a dude. He is a dud.

I hope that changes.

Agree. He's been crickets

 

[SoilVol]

We may see Nico by halftime. Joe ain’t it. He may have a good game where we think he’s fixed but if you look at his track record he will never be consistent enough. We need to start preparing Nico for next year and have him ready to go because we have no more cupcakes for him to develop this year outside UConn.

We are not going to see Nico "by halftime" against Florida in the Swamp unless Joe gets injured.

Now we know what happened, it was the ole Casey Clausen jinx.

Casey Clausen returns to Neyland Stadium
