Recruiting Football Talk VII

[jakez4ut]

Because there’s nothing with them to be scared of. We should win convincingly like we did vs SC

Their defensive front is as good as anyone we'll play. Their o line is gonna be the best one we've played thus far. Their wrs are a problem.

I'm not saying we're losing... We can definitely winning this game... Playing this game at home is big imo.

But they are not a pushover...

LOL pork "leg?" I've never heard it called that

The hind leg is sometimes called the ham, but since the point of the post was to clarify why Canadian bacon wasn't ham I thought it would be better to be more specific.

If Max Johnson pounds it inside to their Tight Ends, they will basically become Wide Recievers for this game...


















Lord I apologize

Best post you’ve ever had on here

A&M defense is in another universe from USCe defense.

And their offense is in another universe from SC’s offense, in a bad way

 

[Glitch]

If they can do like UF and stop the run with just their front...Joe and Co will have to win it in the air.

What kind of interest rates are you getting on all this trouble you are borrowing? You must be leveraged up to your eyeballs!

AM also doesn't have wet paper facading as an offensive line either.
They're big boys recruited to play SEC ball, SCAR O line is transfers from NW Arkansas St.

The numbers disagree.

South Carolina:
Scoring offense: 92nd
Total yards: 77th
Passing offense per game: 36th
Passing offense per attempth: 28th
Rushing offense per game: 121st!!!
Rushing offense per attempt: 115th!!!

Texas A&M:
Scoring offense: 11th
Total yards: 27th
Passing offense per game: 27th
Passing offense per attempt: 47th
Rush offense per game: 52nd
Rush offense per attempt: 30th

Now, some of this could be skewed by earlier QB play but still.

Have fun in Bangkok...

I've been to Thailand a couple of times while in the Navy. Unless it's changed in the last 20 years, it's impossible to not have fun. Seen things there that you can't describe without getting banned

Aeneas Smith is a playnaker, if our poor tackling habits appear he will make us pay.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

It's hilarious to me that yall were scared of SCAR and think AM is going to be a walk in the park.
They are in completely different leagues.

 

[VolsdeepVFL]

His ceiling better be WAY HIGHER than Kenyan Drake.

Come on man, Drake is in the league

 

[Dadof2volfans]

Max Johnson isn't as good as Rattler...see what Tennessee done to him ...this should be an easy win..will their DL get a couple of sacks .. probably but I would bet Tennessee sack Johnson more..Vols 41-24...14-1 Go Vols...

Unfortunately that is not how things work. This will be the toughest team Tennessee has played yet. Talent and coaching is better than any team we have played this year.

Blacksmith, Woodsmith, Silversmith…. Anus..Smith?

 

[engineerVOL]

Sounds grooooce because we don't use that word for food. Call it triple thick cream. Better than butter imo. Or maybe just a novelty.

That looks nasty.

We beat AM and those same dudes will expect a blowout against Bama.

Idk how to spell his name.

We might be Bama, but it being on the road makes it a tough ass game.

Johnson is a game manager. He missed plenty of throws on Sat, but he made some also. Their DL made a few plays. But secondary looked serviceable at best.

Our DL is going against a veteran OL. This time, the crowd noise will be on our side. We have to get on top early, as this team is not built to come back, it seems.

I think the line is very conservative, with good reason. TAMU is good between the 20's, and so are we. Losing Bru, hurts. TAMU kicks FG's, and plays Defense. Will be close.

 

[vols 30]

How many NFL journeyman RBs does UT have in the League, right now ? None, maybe Eric Gray and Tyson Chandler, but they both transferred out. We got Kamara (definitely a Pro-Bowl player).Maybe Patterson, but he hasn't always been a RB, mostly a WR and record breaking KR.

It feels like RB is primarily Journey guys. Inb4 Don't stop believin.

RBs are a dime a dozen. Better chance at making a team hopefully

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Drake wasn't a college star. He isn't an NFL star. He is an NFL player. Yes, as an NFL player, he makes a lot of money. I hope all of our guys do better than NFL journeyman status, particularly those that are being hyped as potential stars.

Do you know how good you need to be to be in the NFL. You've got to be exceptional to stay in the NFL.

I think tempo will be our best friend this weekend, we need to run the offense at last years tempo. Wear down their front 4.

 

[Glitch]

Well...technically no. It's cured loin, part the back, and is often called "back bacon". Ham is cured pork leg. US bacon is cured belly.

Since there's a food theme tonight, some y'all (including @nicksjuzunk) tell me what foods to eat in Thailand.

The Applebees there are supposed to be top notch.

A&Ms offense is better in every category but passing yards

I’m not sure Tennessee will play a worse OL than USCjr all year…maybe APSU???
