Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[JacketVol]

Hype was terrible tonight. Can’t believe he didn’t call a TO after the Thornton catch

Horrible clock management. You could spike it as well but TO makes more sense

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Yeah, all 4 and 5 year guys you mention there with over 20 starts under their belt.

Our qb has 6 starts (that includes tonight).

Milroe just Lost to VANDY.

You conveniently ignored my point about the last drive defense.

You’ve made my point. Thanks

Bruv, this team is a good QB away from being legit. If you can't see that, then you can't see

 

[JT3]

would have been nice for kitselman to not drop 10 passes this game

Well you would think that the pass catching TE would be on the field when we are in must pass situations. Strange that he is not playing. He is a weapon, especially over the middle of the field.

 

[Dirty Vol]

There wasn't a okay to be made

There is if you want to win....

 

[VolInDayton]

Do we have a WR who can break a tackle?

 

[volbeast33]

Both. Nico isnt as good as hes suppoused to be. The flying Hawiann non chalant **** doesnt work.

I don’t think being non-chalant has anything to do with it… He appears to have trouble reading the field and throwing the ball on time.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

You think Milroe, Pavia, Dart, and Beck win this game in their 2nd year in college and 6th start? Why you comparing him to upper classmen with tons of starts under their belts?

Fine. Arch Manning wins this game tonight.... No doubt in my mind. We got the wrong expensive QB

 

[MarcoVol]

I agree with you, but the defense also gave up multiple 3 & longs and gave up 60 yds rushing on their final drive for a TD.

There’s blame for everybody tonight

ARK was 6-16 on 3rd down (although I don’t know how many of the 6 were 3rd and long)

 

[mrMet]

That was your typical tim banks defense. His defenses look awesome as long as he doesn't have to defend the pass. If the other team can pass their qbs all of a sudden become Heisman candidates. The Dline has masked that for the 1st 4 games.

To be truly fair, McCoy was great is pass D and they completed 3 or 4 balls over him that were just perfect throws (typical for our luck)

 

[JT3]

Well, we can only lost 1 more time and still make the playoffs. Let's lick our wounds and get ready for Florida.

 

[JacketVol]

it’s his second year in college…. How long does he need to go to college to learn to not run out of bounds to end the game?

High school QB’s know better than that.

 

[UTSuave’]

Playcalling was awful. Effort was awful. Both sides of the ball seemed somewhere else most of the night. Early in the game it felt like SC 22 all over again. Arkansas wanted that game but we didn't really seem to care until the 2nd half and even then we didn't want it that much.

Conservative play calling prevents rhythm…sounds silly as hell but it’s a thing…this one is on the coaches…the ball game was played close enough we could have squeaked this one out but it never should have been close anyway.

 

[MarcoVol]

Fine. Arch Manning wins this game tonight.... No doubt in my mind. We got the wrong expensive QB

Why do you hate VFLs so much?

 

[UpstateVol613]

Here is what I see.

- The play calling all year has led me to believe that there is a lack of confidence in Nico to make the right read, or a lack of confidence in the o-line to pass protect. Or both.

- When we do seem to pass block, about 50% of the time, Nico just doesn’t throw the ball. I can’t see the whole field, so I won’t call those coverage sacks. Maybe they are. Idk. He holds onto the ball a lot. For whatever reason.

- The film is out there now. Teams are gonna make us win throwing the ball. We gotta figure it out.

The play calling comment is spot on at least against SEC caliber teams. I think the issues with the offensive line are even worse than what we see. Outside of Mays you have a bunch of upperclassmen journeymen who hit their ceilings a long time ago. Missing on Mauigoa and Seaton hurts. You also are playing with a QB which is talented but only has about 6 starts.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Not an excuse or blaming officials, but that might be the worst called game against us to a team not named Bama or Georgia I have seen.

Not one holding call on their OL and not one defensive secondary penalty. And plenty very obvious ones occurred right in front of officials.

Could be part of the reason our WRs can’t get separation.

 

[KB5252]

We are a good QB away from being legit and undefeated

********. This o line is garbage, the QB isn't ready, but if the o line were competent we win that game easily. The issue is o line, was the reason we went conservative against OK and the reason we ran heavy against NCSt. They can't protect and communicate effectively to cover the rush.

 

[JT3]

To be truly fair, McCoy was great is pass D and they completed 3 or 4 balls over him that were just perfect throws (typical for our luck)

Yea those were perfect ball placement. Hella surprised he was dropping in like that.

 

[Bollweevil]

When does some of tennessee's young talent start claiming a RS and considering the portal?

 

[mr.checkerboards]

I don’t think being non-chalant has anything to do with it… He appears trouble reading the field and throwing the ball on time.

Somebody has to be the ass ripper. Heup doesnt do it, Nico has to do it as the leader.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I never thought I'd see the day when Heuple couldn't scheme a wide receiver open.

 

[mrMet]

Bruv, this team is a good QB away from being legit. If you can't see that, then you can't see

Ok, still ignoring every point I’ve made. You’ve lost. Go to sleep, troll

 

[Revived2002]

One thing we can be certain of: the Heupel era has been marked by much success, but also several mind numbing road performances against lesser competition.

In some ways, this outcome is a surprise, but in others it honestly is not.

 

[DD4ME]

Bad news is no way we're getting in unless we beat everyone left on the schedule.

Not true

 

[UTSuave’]

High school QB’s know better than that.

@JacketVol brother come back Monday with clear thoughts.you know damn well this game should have never been close and it was only close because of the play calling…defense was getting stops all night.it was a low scoring game for a reason both sides have a good defense.

 

[mrMet]

ARK was 6-16 on 3rd down (although I don’t know how many of the 6 were 3rd and long)

From what I can remember, most of the ones they converted were 3&5 and longer. They did have one 3&short and rushed for it barely but the rest were long I do believe
