Recruiting Football Talk VII

KC spent several years getting their team ready for their qb. Hurts walked into an amazing situation.

Why do you think the Titans have a good OL? Henry can't even clear 20 yards?

the titans have a good OL?

routinely lose at draft day

Ya that's the first time I've heard anyone say they have an elite OL

They HAD a good to great OL and THEN went to get a QB…didn’t work. KC kept trying to get game manager QBs and settled on Alex Smith before making the move for Mahomes. Then they ended up in a Super Bowl with a subpar OL. ONE draft and free agent period and it was fixed. Much easier with a franchise QB entrenched. Eagles built an OL and defense during the same timeline as drafting Carson Wentz. Had to redo the whole thing and took a fortunate flyer on Hurts. OL doesn’t score TDs…it keeps the QB upright.

It was past tense…back when they had one. Two Pro Bowl OT’s. Were you legal 5 years ago?

2-2

May beat us but they arent a good team.

What would that say about us ?

 

[UTProf]

Hoping for a Tenneseee victory and a lot of upsets in the other games.

Even though we'd been playing like poo until the UTSA game, if you rank Florida then we were dropped way too far down for that loss. Using their logic should shoot up several spots if we beat SCAR but we won't.

Spanish broadcasters are simply better than a lot of American counterparts. I don’t know if it’s the beauty of the language, but the passion these broadcasts have is undeniable. The Spanish broadcasts during the World Baseball Classic were absolutely electric.

It's because of j-school and communications depts. They train people to speak clearly and to erase accents and any flavor a person might have. It's great for delivering a standard news broadcasts clearly to audiences across the country who might have trouble with certain accents/speech patterns but horrible for things like sports.

However it's not that the Spanish language is better for it or anything like that (although I do love those broadcasts). It's that they still know how to add drama to broadcasts. Go listen to old broadcasts or even John Ward. Those announcers add drama to what they're calling. They don't just recite what's happening (e.g. player runs 10 yards for a first down) rather they paint an entire picture (e.g. and Sampson scratches and claws his way forward through a wall of enemies draped in crimson....three more steps...a lunge...first down!). They also very intentionally drew out the action -- they weren't worried about their calls matching the speed of the game (that's something spanish broadcasters do very well).

Hey guys if you want to make a new friend, reach out. I recommend you leave your kids at home though.

Exactly! Stop thinking of Joe as a QB and start thinking of him as a 6'4" 240lb RB that can throw the ball a country @$$ mile and see what this offense can do with that!

I wish he would pull it and run it alot more. Would bring a completely new dimension to this offense. I also would love to see motion with squirrel or another WR, and have the option to hand off to him or run the read with the RB. That would be 3 different options to run that the defense would have to account for. Add in going fast to the equation and it would cause even more havoc for the defense.

This will definitely be a game we play zone and hope we can get pressure on Rattler in a hurry.

That should work just like it did last year when they hung 60 on us

Only reason I say that is we have no one to cover Legette. Trust me, I hate the soft zone we play. Maybe Slaughter is healthy now and he could cover him? I don’t think he’s fast enough to cover him.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I knew when they said this was a hernia Cooper was going to be back later than expected. I don’t know why it was expected otherwise. Timeframes on there are well established and it’s pink dumbbells for a while, not 350 pound angry men

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Anyone catch Fox calling USC vs. Colorado next week the game of the year?

“Kentucky vs. Alabama…. A game for the ages”

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Yea no excuse to lose. Their secondary is awful and oline is terrible. But then again I thought floridas line was terrible

Think Vegas put a bigger spread to have people hammer Scar.

Their QB...you know..the most important position on the field...is way better than ours. Their WRs are better than ours.

OL is maybe a little worse, hard to say because they seem to be getting better, so I will call that a wash.

Defense is a wash because our DL and LBs are ok, but secondary is crap.

I do not understand you people that say ignorant stuff...those are valid reasons to lose this game...not excuses.

Milton is going to HAVE to play great for us to win, and our defense HAS to play better in coverage, pass rush and tackling than it has.

 

[drvenner]

Not off limits, agreed. I guess my point is Day handled it poorly and counterproductively.

You’ll have to excuse me, I’m getting up in years too, and sometimes it takes a bit of back and forth before I fully understand my own ramblings.

What were we talking about, again?

The oddsmakers clearly disagree with you and they don’t have their emotions in it

Knowing how our defense is, how are we favored by so much? What are we missing

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Eh. I've seen that level of catch at all levels of baseball. It's a great catch and very difficult, but robbing a HR is usually more difficult.

Nevermind

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

It's wild isn't it?

We may win...but we ain't winning by 2 tds.

 

[knoxvol52]

You may get burned every once in a while but Banks needs to play Cover Zero on important 3rd downs ....if he plays zone all game and Tennessee gets no pressure on HIM then it's going to be a long day....saying that I will take Tennessee and the spread Tennessee 45-31...Go Vols...

3-1
Keep the mo up and going….
Tough stretch coming up
