Recruiting Football Talk VII

[MarcoVol]

When it became “F it, just chuck it” the offense showed it can be with Milton. Believe he found his guy with McCoy. Outside of his crazy int and not seeing the play clock, he was the least worry on offense.

The OL is a complete disaster and I’m not sure why Sampson isn’t above Small on the depth chart.

Someone who saw what I saw. Milton isn’t what everyone hoped but that OL last night…….yikes.

Also the defense was a huge disappointment. Thought we’d be able to contain the run.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Terrible take. CJH put together two of the best back to back seasons of the past 20 years with a bad roster as well as an NCAA investigation hanging over the program and you want to make him uncomfortable?

Last night sucked but please. You sound like a stupid, entitled UGA or Bama fan.

The lack of discipline and mistakes have been there since Heupels first year.
Failed hires on the defensive side of the ball who were given extensions early are on him.
Too many bad takes on the offensive line.
His second loss to inferior teams.
The offenses inability to be run on the road (UGA, USC, UF)
Yeah last year mightve been fun, but there are a ton of red flags around Heupel.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Matthews still dogging Hadden btw. Incredulous about the lack of effort on that play.

Hadden should be dogged to eternity. He’s a terrible CB and loves to talk when he is terrible. He’s a scared little boy

 

[MoCo_Vol]

I'll just say it...we really weren't an 11-2 team last year. Hendon Hooker & Hyatt lifted the offense above what was likely an 8 or 9 win team.

The OT win at Pitt, upsetting Bama, and even the win against Florida all games that would have gone the other way with a lesser QB starting.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Gotta hope Joe can right the ship. He won Clemson and Candy games after Hendo went down. It if he struggles in first half vs UTSA, but you don't want to risk ruining Nico...maybe run Gaston out there vs UTSA. I mean look at Stetson Bennett...he just kept beating out 5 stars.

We won’t ruin Nico. We will get him some actual game experience.

 

[JCVol00]

The worst thing about the Castles “blindside block” was that it wasn’t the side judge who called it standing right there. It was the back judge that was 20 yards downfield who called it

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Any info on what happened with Slaughter?

 

[mrMet]

Please elaborate with examples. Can’t wait to see how wrong you are lol he overthrew 1 go route. Bru TD, squirrel down sideline are just 2 examples for my side. Sorry bout it

 

[Christian Lowe]

Like the BET awards?

Explain that one.

The announcers literally said “it’s like the BET awards here tonight” during the broadcast of the CSU CU game

Good. He’s putrid. Terrible player. Doug knows good football

 

[volbeast33]

We did but multiple people, fans and talking heads both have talked about how not hostile it was for a morning kick and full of Vol fans.

it wasn’t hostile bc we jumped on them early and didn’t let up.

 

[knoxvol52]

How in the hell does Heupel not say something about how bad the dbs are

And if this is the best we have then the db coaches need to be fired for being terrible recruiters

Well if you want the players to really quit on you start calling them out ...

 

[VolNash17]

The only reason why Florida didn’t score more is they went ultra conservative after stomping UT’s defense in the first half. Afterwards it was run up the middle repeatedly and punt. Great adjustment by Tim banks! Not !

 

[VolNash17]

It’s just so frustrating. Still believe in Heupel but the entire staff was out coached last night. No way around it. They were handled

 

[ChattaTNVol]

“We have to make some changes.”

That’s what Heupel said on the radio postgame show.

Josh Heupel’s esteemed expertise is on the offensive side of the football.

His offense was out of sync in much of the Virginia game and he said as much in the aftermath. In the Austin Peay game his offense was sort of embarrassing really, against a weak FCS team that had been blown out by another FCS team the prior week. For maybe a myriad of reasons in the swamp the offense again struggled to put points on the board.

“We have to make some changes.”

Last week I said we had to let things play out. Well, here we are. They’ve played out.

“We have to make some changes.”

Yea Florida offense seemed a little Georgia like from the 2nd half last season...

That’s a good explanation haha. I didn’t catch that part of the game.

I don’t think we’re allowed to portal in more OL right now

 

[VolNash17]

They went ultra clock mode. Run run run chew clock. Then suddenly UT gets stops due to it. Fans get excited thinking great adjustments were made when the only adjustment was from the opposing HC/coordinator taking the air out of the ball

 

[Christian Lowe]

That’s a good explanation haha. I didn’t catch that part of the game.

Yeah I had to do a double take when I heard it, because in this day and age I’m sure that’d be a “racist dog whistle” if a white dude said it, luckily both commentators were also black lol

At least he keeps saying it. We’ll see what happens with it. Fans shouldn’t turn on him yet. Need at least 2024 season with a roster capable of winning consistently at a high level then afterwards people can make their minds up. Position coaches though? Absolutely.

to be the team that we want to be…… we have to score TDs on a high % of our drives…. you can’t play fast and be as inconsistent as Joe is….. He isn’t it….. Sucks bc he deserves to be the man.

 

[LA Vol]

Any info on what happened with Slaughter?

Several players were suspended for violation of team rules. UT generally doesn't announce it, and injuries are often undisclosed, as well. Sometimes they'll say a player is "unavailable"-- but they prefer to say nothing at all.

 

[knoxvol52]

That’s a good explanation haha. I didn’t catch that part of the game.

You know would I like to see Deion at Tennessee probably not ....but he is pure entertainment and says what he feels no sugar coating from him... but definitely not a fit in the Tennessee laid back environment...

 

[RikidyBones]

Said it for the longest time but Milton is JG.

Same “strong” arm that can throw it the whole length of the football field

Same guy that looks amazing in practice


Same QB since his HS days, a career 58% completion guy. Thanks to the kid for being a Vol, but it’s time to move on.



Same thing with Martinez bro, dude plays upperclassmen, all of our upperclassmen guys in the secondary are trash. I want Martinez gone. Banks can stay for now but he needs to fix his **** quick

Idk how you can say Martinez gone but banks can stay. The coaching by Martinez can't even be truly judged when Banks calls soft zone with minimal rush on 3rd and long every single time. That's on Banks. When it comes to good opponents, Banks ***** the bed and calls scared.
