Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Dooby15]

Mays will play, so now the receivers will catch everything and Joe will have pin point accuracy. Just how it works.

 

[BigSteve09]

Do you think Nico gets some run if Joe struggles against UF and we lose? I know they think he is special.

Nico isn't 100% healthy. I think it's fairly obvious at this point. Joe is the QB until he breaks or tears something. They bubble wrapped him last week and kept him in the pocket sans one QB draw after not handing it off running zone ready 20 times. Nico got zero reps. I know he "warmed up" when Joe looked shaken up, but give me a break.

We're stuck with Joe until the staff thinks Nico is prepared and/or healthy. Don't know how long that will take but Nico isn't playing in Gainesville.

Somebody did a breakdown of every single incompletion on the football forum which proves this point with screen shots.

Some people are now saying it's his decision making and processing defense. I haven't seen him missing open receivers running down the field and taking the check down. I would imagine these goal post will continued to be moved because some people don't like Joe.

I don't think it's that they don't like Joe, it's that some people have the compulsive need to be right about everything. Any opportunity to say "told you so" and they pounce.

I just realized that Tarleton State put up as much offense on McNeese (554 yards on the road) as Florida did (560 yards). They also beat McNeese by 4 touchdowns despite turning the ball over three times and allowing a 91 yard kickoff return for a TD. Florida obviously has a better defense than Tarleton State.

Vols 34
Duhs 16

Yea Florida doesn’t have a good offense, they have some good RB’s but They’re handicapped by their terrible Oline. Their defense seems to be pretty good tho, outside of the first play vs Utah they did very well on that side of the ball especially in the 2nd half

i don’t see Florida being able to score more than 20ish. Imo it’ll either be a low scoring ugly offensive game that goes either way or Tennessee wins pretty easily by 2+ score. All depends on our offense

 

[Devo182]

Some positive stats; we lead the nation in TFL’s and sacks. #4 in rushing offense and the 4th least TFL’s allowed, Jaylen Wright is #3 in YPC

1 more year with HH and Hyatt and this is a championship team. That's how close we are.

 

[butchna]

Wish we could have seen Cam Seldon more the first two games

I don’t know which of the 3 top RBs you sit to facilitate that wish.

 

[UpstateVol613]

Not one of their higher end recruits but I like the narrative that could be forming here.

They ran QB draw three times. Once for a touchdown. And your theory is that they had Nico pretend warm up as some kind of psy-op?

Joe is the starter and Nico is the backup. Both are healthy enough to play. It really is that simple.

 

[Volbucky]

It really works wonders. This was almost 10 years ago but my classmate gave me one before a huge presentation we had to do but I remember having no nerves at all. I HATE public speaking but this made me feel no pressure or nerves at all while I was up there. I’m not a doctor so idk what type of effect they can have on someone playing in a football game with that type of cardiovascular output, but if there is no risk from a medical standpoint then it would be massively beneficial to Milton.

You two are going to wind up on message board geniuses

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Did I hear them say that the officiating crew decided they didn't have enough time to properly review the call on the catch/fumble in our game? Wth?

@1:38:34 in the game is the fumble and them saying they didn't have enough time to review it to make the right call.

Surprised more people didn't talk about them saying that, especially considering how many commercial breaks they force on us.

 

[Devo182]

Bottom line, I’m comfortable if this turns out to simply be a transition year where we make a decent bowl, win some fun games (amidst a few frustrating losses), land a top 10 recruiting class and move on to the Nico era.

Have been all along. 9-3 and some Citrus bowl type. I'm fine.

I nearly laugh when I hear commentators act like Vol fans expected 11-1 or something. I think most fans understood just fine in what we lost in HH and Hyatt. Generational production from those 2.

 

[Glitch]

What do you call sputtering? UT scoring less than 30 points?

If we score over 30, we should win by at least two scores. I have seen nothing from UF's offense that scares me.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

 

[knoxvol52]

Trevon Diggs waked over to Giants coaching staff and told them to not let Daniel Jones throw the ball, the results wouldn't be good...

Aaron Rodgers plans on missing next weeks game quote"I don't want any part of that Dallas Defense, Micah is not human" Jets fans livid....

Psy-op? He was warming up because that's what backups do but he wasn't getting any snaps. Hardly a tinfoil hat thing to say.

Joe ran twice.
-Once to end the half with the score.
-The other was right in the middle of the third quarter where he went down and took a late shot straight to the back.

Compare to how much we ran Hooker through the first two games last year, I think there is a decided mitigation of QB vulnerability.

Well now we are because you said their name and they will find it

I’m ready to be internet famous for a day.

 

[rjd970]

Just looked at the passing game only highlights. I'm more on the train that the WRs shoulder most of the blame. Room for improvement all around, but the WRs didn't give any help at all. I also hope the protection gets worked out, Milton was hurried a lot.

[Devo182]

That offense sure has tanked after last year.

Down to 17 ppg and 4.8 ypp.

At least feeling better about that upset potential with how they've played.

 

[BigSteve09]

@butchna



sacks are counted as rush attempts in college ball

Joe pulled the ball and ran past the line of scrimmage twice on designed runs.

Literally this lol cam will have his time next year

Sobering stat

 

[SoilVol]

I take metoprolol & my putting has improved immensely.

I also take metoprolol and its almost completely eliminated target panic while hunting.

 

[headhunter15]

If UT can score 30 on UF, I think they win.

Sobering stat

24.4% on 3rd down to be exact.

Through the Mizzou game last season we were at 45.2%.
