Recruiting Football Talk VII

[OGbabyaviVol]

Yup....the dude has dramatically improved since last season....hell the whole secondary has improved...but you wouldn't know it by reading the posts on here.

Just continue letting them play man coverage. We are way better defensively in man than zone!

Looking ahead, we actually don't catch Bama in a terrible spot. 7 games in a row, and Arky even though they aren't great they're fairly physically so back to back physical games.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

No no. Just meant that the Hollywood script, as per ESPN, was written for SC game. They will have to play inspired football rest of the way.

If they come out and lay a brown egg versus TAMU and KY, we in trouble. Joe playing on the road, isna diff story,

About that...we get Kensucka** at Grocery Store field this year, and they seem to be a much better team this year now that they have their good OC Coen back, and a better QB than the can'o'corn they ran out there last year.

That is going to be a tough game to win.

The game should be tough but I have seen Heupel take Stoops to school two years in a row. The 2021 win was a thing of beauty when you look back at how depleted the roster was on that team.

No their QB isn’t good again. They’re the same one dimensional team that they are every year.

Leary went 15/29 for 205, 1 TD and 2 INTs vs Vandy. Followed that up 9/19 for 69 yards and 1 TD vs FL.

But it’s on the road so who knows what’ll happen.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Subjective vs Objective opinion. The numbers were already shared that Hadden isn't just OUR best DB, but the best in the SEC right now...but it's an objective production based comment.

Is he as physically and mentality gifted as Slaughter? Don't think so, but it's also not something you can prove with stats really either.

I hear ya. Stats don’t tell the whole story. Much like QB completion. I would take Milton over UF crap QB. His 78% means nothing with just short throws.

Appears we slide a safety many times over to help Haddon.

But hey, after the Florida debacle, our DBs and whole defense played amazing last weekend against a fantastic QB. Proud of all of them.

Yeah this isn't good.

Anyone else perplexed why Heup doesn't get Nico in games at the end when game is no longer in doubt?

They've already said he's not red shifting, so why not let him get in a big environment like Saturday?

Because the game was in doubt up until there wasn't enough time to get meaningful snaps. If it were 45-7 at the beginning of the 4th quarter, sure, put him in. But for one final drive you're going to use one of his games that counts against his redshirt when you know there are some future games where blowouts are likely?

Arion Carter and Telander leading the defense as starting sophomore & Juniors… whew

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

You may not be impressed with them, but we ain't winning in Tuscaloosa unless something drastic happens.

Bama is playing great defense again + we play like on offense on the road when the crowd is jacked up = probable loss unless Joe just goes off, which he has never done before.

A&M is gonna be a tough row to hoe...they are uber talented and Dumbo ain't calling plays no more...but that is a winnable game. I'm gonna call it a toss-up at best.

Heup doesn’t lose after bye weeks. Especially a game at home. We’re beating the Aggies.

Again, much appreciate the support and encouragement.

He called Rattled a greasy spot in Neyland Stadium!!! Bwahahahahaha!!!!

The only team we truly catch in a bad spot for us is UGA. They will be rested and have Bowers and McConkey ready to roll.

It's nice that it's a home game for us - we need them to start slow.

I like where we are playing A&M.

And I like where we are playing Bama - even on the road. But we have not looked good on the road except for that LSU game. This needs to be a day time game where we jump out early - running and being effecient on offense.

Imo AM, Bama and UGA are all 330 CBS.
Although AM at noon wouldn't shock me.
I really want the puppies under the lights.
If you truly want to see a decibal record broken, puppies under the lights with Atlanta in play.

Vols win. We can actually stop the run.

Plus who is Kentucky's daddy?

Absolutely, stats & analysis don’t even matter in that matchup. Just like when we play UF

Telander was a hell of a pick up. He seemed to know where to be and read plays quickly. I was impressed. Had some lapses but overall looked very ready for the game.

Especially as a non-EE (I believe) true freshman

Well. . . its a bye weeks, so what are you gonna do this weekend?

If you're in or around Knoxville and want to do something fun that's a little different, I recommend taking the old lady and kids to the "Tennessee Medieval Faire." . . or dragging your husband out to it.

I've never been before, but I'm going to check it out this weekend. I've never really been into stuff like that, but I bet it's pretty cool.

They do Knight Swords fights, real jousting, belly dancing, comedy shows, axe throwing booth, a bunch of renaissance vendors, a medieval tavern with beer, etc. It seems like it'll be different, but fun.

It also has a pirates theme. It's in Harriman. I'll post a link in a minute.

Toxicity matters whether you believe it or not...it is impossible to escape it's effects in this overestimulated, impatient, ADHD afflicted world that electronic interconnection has created.

It's impossible to not read the internet? Hardly.

Telander was an 87 ranked 3*. Lots of people on here want to dump on our 2024 class because of the bottom half being a bunch of projects. However, this staff has been good at identifying killers who aren't blue-chippers. Will they all pan out? No, but this staff seems to have a discerning eye.

He was always that football smart, quick twitch son of a coach…but he was more wiry than physical. Then he spent the off-season working with Dr. Bruce Banner.
