Recruiting Football Talk VII

Go Blue

Go Michigan. Go Blue sounds too much like you're supporting Lube U.

What was that guy supposed to do let the bama guy get up and tackle the running back? Once gone kee em down, no targeting
Tackles do that all the time

He hit him in the head. That's why it was a penalty. He wasn't defenseless so it wasn't targeting, but he wasn't a runner so it was a PF

Clemson still hasn’t posted the final from the Orange Bowl…



So close…

Our offense didn't feel clunky at all today, like it has all year. Play calls seemed better, too, but it probably seemed that way because of good execution. Seeing Nico go through his progressions so smoothly and consistently get to the 3rd or 4th read really made a big difference for the offense. It just felt like a smoother performance. . . reminded me how the offense hummed with Hooker.

I also think having that type of performance takes a lot of pressure off defense and really stresses the others team's offense, defense, and gameplan. It's true, having a really good or great QB can hide a lot of deficiencies and really turn up the heat on the other team & coaches.

I think we can be as good as '22 by the 4th game next year, maybe sooner. If we can get it together that quick, we have a really good shot at the playoffs.

OL pass protection is the question mark...it has to perform better than that for us to compete with the better SEC teams.

The Year of the Vols. It has begun.

So we kicked tail in the Cheezit citrus bowl so now we've got the cheaters bowl.

How long do you think it will take @Orangeredblooded to figure out how to post a banner?

The decade of the Vols. It has begun.

I agree. I think the OL looks a lot different by opening kick-off next season.

watching any bg10 game, sucks.

that said, alabama sucks just a little bit more

Nico Iamaleava
Burnin' hot like lava
Hawkeyes had a deacon
Vols D left that engine leakin'
Iowa had no answer
For the Dylan dancer
Watching Cam's a delight
His future oh so bright
James Pearce is everywhere
Straight up Hawkeye nightmare
Vols tallied five and thirty
Iowa ain't purty
They got a big zero
No fans could cheer-o
Special thanks to Joe
To the NFL you go
Heupel and his number 8
'24 will be so great
So once again, I'm downright giddy
It don't matter, Vols by Fiddy

We had a true freshman, getting pressure behind a struggling OL, against a stout defense, and he never lost his composure, panicked, or even really looked too bothered. I'm not sure which was more impressive, that or the smooth reads.

Don't you all just hate when a football game interrupts the commercials?

I don’t know, but I know how to post this .

I agree with this. I know Campbell didn't play today. Did Spraggins? My biggest concern with the OL is lack of quality depth. I was hoping we'd find a portal OG to start opposite Spraggins, but that's starting to look unlikely. And should anyone get hurt, I worry about depth.

Yes, and can we please play well against Florida next year? All losses this year are understandable except Florida.

Opening up multiple BILLIONS to share instead of the current millions. It’s understandable that they pine for the days that scholarships, free books and medical care were sold as sufficient. But the best programs always knew how to funnel money to the best players and did so with full autonomy from NCAA cronies. Pennies on the dollar red Dodge Chargers and no show jobs for Mama to million plus deals in plain sight. In retrospect, which is obviously seedy?

Just saying you will have to do collective bargaining if you try to set a cap like MLB and NFL> Opens a different can of worms. Better to let the market set itself.

Completely agree. Also... That wasn't our starting OL for next year.

 

[Volnut]

Bama left guard is letting anyone and everyone go by. He insists on only double teaming the guy in front of him pre snap lol

Funny when he doesn't have SEC officials, he knows he can't hold every play.

The line played pretty well for having lane, Davis, and Lampley starting…. Some of it was Nico being indecisive as well.

Saying the same thing.

If MI does not self implode, Bama about to prove that they are a 9-4 team mascarading as a playoff team.
