Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Adam Sandler]

I could have sold my soul for a shocking comeback win after the 100th crowd shot of the fans at the swamp last night.

I tried. Devil said he’d already made the deal with the florida fans.

 

[VolNash17]

he’s enjoying life

 

[VolNash17]

Titans should have kept Dobbs

Eh for the backup spot in case of injury.

[VolNash17]

Titans are better. Let go many old players that were injured nearly every game last few years. Signed some solid guys and brought in some solid guys drafting. Should be a solid season if they stay relatively healthy and not break NFL record for injuries for a 3rd straight season

 

[JCP201]

Dobbs doing great this week!!

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

Yikes

If we don’t come out fired up and blow them out of the water we’re in for a long season.

 

[VolNash17]

The new OC is much better. I figured he would be. He has a solid track record. Defense got back Harold Landry who missed all last season. Solid ball team

 

[swchandler1988]

SC will beat us. Rattler will have great day. 300+ yds. 38-17

You have a SmallPairOfVols talking like that

 

[Orange.]

I pissed at Mincey.

 

[nashvol1]

Dobbs!!! 20+ yd rushing td up 14-0!!

Forgot how fast he is until watching that play. Faster than HH

 

[Adam Sandler]

Not hitting the portal harder last season showing up in a big way. Our oline is lacking. Better be aggressive this off-season.

 

[nashvol1]

I pissed at Mincey.

Or the state or the local cops or the feds. Just make it legal already.

Every off season. Look at FSU. Huepel too cocky for his own good at times.

 

[Orangeburst]

It’s the North of Richmond guy! Should write a song entitled The Swamp.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Or just don’t get caught with it? It’s not that hard

 

[InVOLuntary]

Luckily you aren’t allowed to call anything beyond Domino’s. Anyone who uses the term “calling defenses” probably isn’t equipped to have an opinion on the matter. Banks’ “calls” last night were fine. Our DBs gave up two huge plays by not tackling, and McCullough got burned by speed (again). Our LB’s are inexperienced and were caught out of position by the motion. They’re going to be great as they grow. Right now they’re young. They bit on misdirection. The DL played pretty well, and got better throughout the night. None of our problems have anything to do with “calls”. The third and long conversions were a combination of perfect throws and catches, and Mertz breaking pressure. Banks is perceived as one of the best defensive coaches by other defensive coaches. We’re a very different team with Pilli, but we have to grow up fast and get our LBs to play with discipline and get our DBs to tackle in space. That’s not something a call can fix.

How many years do we get to ise the poor talent excuse? 10-15? He's pathetic. The reason we were successful last year is because we could outscore people. The offense is about 1/3 of what it was last year and the defense can't be relied upon. He's the worst defensive coordinator since Sal sunseri. 8-9 on 3rd downs. Many of those were long. He's pathetic. Quit blaming the players.

 

[drvenner]

It does hurt me. If I expect nothing and get nothing, then I’m unbothered. If I expect 10-2 and get 6-6, then I’m pissed. Better to accept reality now than later

I get it. To each their own. I know at the end of the day we both want to win.

 

[drvenner]

No, it does not come down to "competence."

Name one instance of "incompetence" (as you call it) that "incompetently" penalized FL wrongly or "incompetently" overlooked an obvious foul against us. The SEC officials are extremely competent at influencing outcomes.

It sure does look like that. I am not ready to go that far, but it is getting tougher and tougher with each passing game.

Not hitting the portal harder last season showing up in a big way. Our oline is lacking. Better be aggressive this off-season.

Missing Mincey last night and Mays so far this season is hurting us.

 

[drvenner]

There was plenty of it in the RF last night too. In multiple threads.

Oh, I know. Plenty in this thread. Glad they didn't come over here.

 

[nashvol1]

Or just don’t get caught with it? It’s not that hard

Or it just shouldn’t be illegal…I can do this all day.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Dobbs!!! 20+ yd rushing td up 14-0!!

And Theo Jackson got an interception!

He’s had two recruiting classes with no misses. This year’s defense is better than last year, and our upcoming recruiting class is the best yet. If you look at our DL, Herring, Carter, Gibson etc and think he’s doing a bad job, you don’t understand football.
