Recruiting Football Talk VII

And yet the crowd booed him when they introduced the starters. Toxic indeed.

i don’t know which ones exactly but teams can stop the running games and passes at the line if that is all we offer…. South Carolina is one of the most inept defenses in the SEC.

Spread them out and when they bite on the short throws to the flat, hit them in the gut. I don't see any team in our future that can maintain 2 high and load the box, that leaves one corner to cover 2 men. Cover the slot with a safety you get beat deep. Play nickel get run on.

 

[Christian Lowe]

Well for some reason people do now..just saying..

Infantilized society?

Lowbrow mentality.

Titans organization should be prosecuted for extreme incompetence and lined up against a wall and peppered with dog excrement.

The Cardinals HC runs the offense that fits Dobbs talents ...Vrabel isn't going to run that type of offense..runs standard Pro Style which actually fits Levis ... Tanneyhill is a game manager offense based around Derrick Henry..But I think Teams see Dobbs differently now since he is somewhere he can strive...

Great………

Seemed pretty consistent and dominant in the game I mentioned. . . aside from 1 long run and maybe a couple others plays.

Sure, remove the 75 yard TD and we dominated the worst rushing team in the SEC.

Rushing defense should improve though, Simmons was back against the Gamecocks and now he and the rest of the bigs got an extra week to heal up for the last stretch of the season.

If we play like we did against South Carolina at Kentucky we'll win, but if we show up and lay an egg like we did the first half against the Gators then we'll be in trouble. Us coming from behind with the lack of passing consistency we've had all year (and now no Bru) isn't where we want to be against Stoops and his defense. We're a better team when we can score early and not be one dimensional.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Well, it won't be fixed unless your family/friends stop attending games...

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Okay, serious question:
If kickoff for the Aggies game is 3:30, what’s the best time to get there for the Vol Walk?
Do opposing teams fans ever show up for the Vol Walk?


I will had 4 Aggies with me…

Just have them wear Tennessee stuff. I'm not sure that'll be enough to hide the Aggie stench, but it might be just enough to keep them from being thrown in the river. . .

That's why I said "if we dominate every game like we did vs USCe". . .

Or...just an idea...maybe we can choose to emphasize what goes well and put as much effort into building a positive narrative as we have in the negative one.

 

[drvenner]

Booing our own players is sad and classless.

True. It’s not his this play. Fans I spoke to are tired of his antics. He chirped last yr vs USCjr after getting burnt like toast. Then he has had 15 yard penalties. I don’t like the booing but fans are the same at most big schools. It’s been going on for yrs and won’t stop.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Dislike. We shouldn’t be booing our own players. Fans should fix it. Stop booing. We’re 4-1 not 1-4. The reaction to this season by our fanbase has been dumb, and it’s not a good look for recruits either.

 

[Volsdeep4]

I know lots of people hate Deion Sanders...but which is a worse look as a HC ...Sanders being Sanders with all the quotes and antics...or Trent Dilfer cursing his coaches out on sidelines of a Nationally Televised game?

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Well IF a frog had wings he wouldn't bump his ass when he hopped, Enki...

Personally more worried about us on the road than any of the home games except Georgia. We show up, with how the rest of the SEC has looked I think we can beat anyone...but this year's game in the Swamp and last year's game in Colombia don't really give me the warm fuzzes about the road games. At Bama is a Loss until it isn't, don't think many will argue with me there...I just don't want at Kentucky or even at Missouri to be games where the team has a lapse in focus.

i think both is ok

Maybe stop acting like an idiot. It's not the bad play that gets him boo'd it's him running around like a dumbass.

1:30 latest. And opposing fans do show up but they rarely are seen again, the whole strangers once climbed Rocky Top thing.

I mean sure, if you wanna live in delusional land...

It's going to be a few years of sustained success before the Vol Nation fanbase returns to full sunshine pumper mode and honestly with how the Barnes era has gone I'm not even sure we'll ever truly return to that type of narrative. But a player thinking them tweeting about the poor behavior of drunk fans voicing their opinions is going to change anything is just unrealistic.

I'm gonna pistol whip the first Tennessee fan I hear booing one of our players. . . I'll do it with a diamond encrusted, pearl handle, gold plated Desert Eagle to add a little class.

 

[Glitch]

Agreed. Should never boo our players. If you don't care for a particular player then just be silent when they are announced. Booing our own players is stupid. Probably the same folks that complain about recruiting not being up to their expectations are the booers.
