Recruiting Football Talk VII

[Volsdeep4]

I am seeing it myself and am about to just say screw it and move on. Sports have become so obsessed with gambling and it is starting to make the public doubt. Might be 20 years but the public trust will be lost and sports will suffer. Baseball did before Ruth came along and saved it. The Black sox throwing the WS almost killed the game of baseball and don't think history doesn't repeat itself. Taking that genie out for the greed of money will eventually rot sports and no bigger place than what is happening in college football.

I like you but I swear you are always about to screw it and move on for something haha.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Not for that. For not wanting to play RT. Read the thread and quit skipping around.

Uh, no.

I did read it, and that smells like bs.

 

[Weezer]

No more weird than the coach absolutists that believe Heupel is infallible and cannot make mistakes.

Sure, he can make mistakes. He's human. But don't you think people are overreacting to one loss in year 3??

BTW, you can be wrong, too. None of us are perfect.

Tho I am pretty damn close.

 

[VolGee4]

We still trusting the guy that played Milton over Hooker? I’ll hang up and listen

Yes, we are. The best thing to happen to UT football in 15+ years.

CJH is the man
We’re fine with him
It’s the damn defense that’s an embarrassment

If we are being totally honest, both sides of the ball are an embarrassment. The only thing that looked decent Saturday night was special teams.

Even though I would prefere for Nico not to be sacrificed this season.....I really would like to see the youth movement in the secondary.....Burrell is actually doing very well leave him alone for now ....Hadden eeeh needs to be doing his MMA training instead of being on the field....

I won’t even comment about the Defense from Saturday night… It’s sucked! It seem like our entire game plan on both sides of the ball was meant to go against the strengths of Florida, and it came nowhere near working. They have a quarterback who can’t throw a deep ball and they want to run the ball, yet we sit in soft zone and allow them to dink and dunk us with short plays and run the ball all the way down the field.

On offense, we kept trying to run the ball in the middle of their defense, which is their strength. They are huge, strong, but slow. Seems like the calls would be running the ball more to the edge. I am still baffled about our game plan for both sides of the ball.

Tennessee will roll this week and will turn things around going forward this season...Heupel has a plan believe in the process...Vols 45-13 over UTSA....Go Vols...

er the inability to adapt.

gameplan vs apsu was pretty bad, on offense. so far not too thrilled with halzle.

definitely. we have lots of talent back there.

That, too, but why was our game plan to attack the strengths of Florida instead of the weaknesses? That’s what baffles me.

14-1

This all day. I still don’t understand what they were thinking.

i do not know

 

[RudyVol]

I trust him way more than you.

It does sound like you trust him more than I do.

 

[RudyVol]

Yes we’re still trusting the guy who has literal *years* of offensive statistical rankings to prove his prowess.

He's clearly not infallible and devoid of criticism.

I agree
I was meaning as a whole through 29 games

We haven't looked real sharp in 1 quarter of football this year. Came to a head against a crappy Florida team. It's a bit alarming. We still have some of the same bums out there that we've had the last 2-3 years.

 

[RudyVol]

Jeremy Banks should have punched Kamal Hadden bc he could damn sure use it.

 

[Grey_pilgrim]

What's got all the reds so cranked up? Are you all up to something? My redheaded wife and youngest son have been meaner than normal this year. What's going on?

Personally, I’m very chill and laid back, but have no fuse. The things that make me mad I just switch and see red. I’ve seen red more this year than I ever have. Maybe it’s a collective, group mind ginger thing lol

 

[csprig9]

44 needs to prepare better
All the pre snap motion took him outta the play before the ball was snapped
That falls on 2 also, if he’s so damn smart and valuable he better have his guys in position

 

[knoxvol52]

As far as Dylan Sampson goes I'm sorry he is 3rd on depth chart but the two in front of him deserve to be .....Jabari may trip over the hash marks but he is productive when he plays and Jaylen Wrights play this season is great so far....this reminds of when John Kelly was buried behind AK and Jalen Hurd for a season or 2..... does it really suck to have RB depth??? I don't think it does wait your turn even though you're a great talent....

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Just an idea, and something I know isn't going to happen, but Heupel should let Martinez go and bring in Jim Leonhard to be DB coach/Asst. DC.

And should Arkansas ever can Pittman, Heupel would be crazy not to immediately pick him up. I'm not totally out on Elarbee, but this OL has been bad. When he has talent, I think he can mold it, but he has a hard time recruiting that talent.

If Heupel fires anyone, I want Danny White to do the hiring,

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Also, Spyre needs to consider opening up the checkbook a little more to help flip some guys. Maybe there's a player or two we need to be willing to overpay for. Even if it's in the portal. The OL needs major help. The DL will need major help after this season. Winning starts in the trenches.

I think Spyre is on the edge of pushing red as it is. Need a lot more help from the fans, imo.
