Recruiting Football Talk VII

[TheMookieMonster]

Being at the game last night really underscored just how bad the new rules are though. So many damn commercials. Feel like I was constantly waiting for action to happen. The game are no shorter than they used to be!!! Just commercials everywhere.

 

[Rishvol]

Eh. Would have preferred them actually throwing some flags considering how badly we dominated the LOS. It felt like I was seeing blatent holds all night.

The PI no call in Squirrel was insane. Like someone said last night, hopefully the ref standing there saw it was caught and didn't bother.

He had his hand on the flag and chose not to throw it

Hands down my favorite play, I jumped up and hollered!

Nice payback for Hadden after last year's performance. He still talks too much..I know DBs gotta talk, which I don't mind IF you can back it up. 5 often does not.

He often does, actually. Wes Rucker describes Hadden the best when he says 95% of what he does is correct and fantastic but the 5% is so wrong and bad that it makes you forget all the good.

I, for one, absolutely cannot wait for that fat South Carolina fan's weekly cry fest video. That dude hates Tennessee and our fans, can't wait to see that chump whine.

Carolina Jackpot?

MVP of the game was Pearce. They couldn’t block him at all. He’s got 1st or 2nd round NFL talent IMO

 

[nashvol1]

Listening to Hyams right now and he’s wondering if Dee Williams could get a look on offense with Bru out.

Not sure why that move hasn’t been made already. Electric with ball in his hands

Officiating is what it is: there is no repercussion for bias, and the networks and conferences want close games for higher ratings and revenue. Schools submit detailed reports every week and they discuss it on their calls, but there is no resolution and big money speaks loudest. With revenue driving everything, the networks are in control, conferences aren't rocking the boat and bias is free to become blatant.

E Simmons played a great game as well. He was big in our run defense and providing pressure from the middle.

So happy to have him back

The defense had a few inexplicably great games last year (Kentucky, LSU).

If yesterday can be who they really are and not just a one off, it's all in front of us this year. We won't just out score people this year. Especially with the inexperience at WR we are about to see. But Bama and Georgia are completely beatable. Every team we play will have deficiencies as large or larger than we have.

Love winning revenge games. Love knowing we have a coach who can circle a revenge game and go out and win it.

 

[Smokey123]

Ridder worst qb in the NFL

 

[headhunter15]

Hope Leacock can impress during the bye. He’s the big-body type missing now with Bru out.

Also impressed with the OL play last night. Mays proved his value. This Heupel offense has to have a stud at Center to communicate and let everyone know what’s going on.

 

[volbeast33]

I thought the same. I also thought they need to throw the flag regardless, because the rules make no allowance for catch or no catch. Throw the flag. Give the coach a chance to accept/decline. Announce. Spot the ball.

Unless this is another shorten game (more commercials) rule change?

maybe but the catch was never in question…. just a formality either way.

US making a late run at potentially retaining the Cup. Still a longshot, but not impossible.

he was over the ball before it was even placed

It was obvious and I meh’d his absence. That’s a legit physical presence that collapses pockets.

 

[pierce60]

Any word on Norman-Lott? Seemed pretty shaken up late in the game.

Knocked wind out of him. He’s fine and we have a bye week.

The way the refs called the game definitely benefited scar bcuz their oline was holding more, but I do feel they at least called it that way for both sides. Improvement from the UF game where there is clear bias

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

It would be pretty cool to maybe get Dee some offensive snaps during the game....we see what he can do on punt returns...he's a playmaker...just get the ball in his hands.

 

[butchna]

They’re brilliant.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I'm mostly over making fun of UCF fans but this is brutal. Trying a 60 yarder to win knowing damn well that is 10 yards outside your kickers range is wild.

Coaches are always doing that. Why do you think he's going to kick it farther than he ever has right there Gus? Lol.
