Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Think my BVS is still flaring up, but anybody else a little put off by Heupels demeanor during the press conference today? Just seems weird to be so laid back, joking, and non bothered by what happened. Not saying he has to be super pissed or going off, but show some passion. A team will take on the personality of their coaches over time.

He's shown plenty of emotions on the sideline. Being calm during a rough patch can be a good thing. Just get back to work.

To be fair to Nico, he sees the LBer follow Samp to the flats. No way he thinks the LBer would drop his assignment and run back towards the middle of the field. Not sure what that kid was doing.

Yes but you take Sampson over a LBer in almost every matchup. If he hits Sampson quick enough and accurately there's a very very small chance that backer is fast enough to catch him, and the DBs have their backs to that side of the field.

So down our top 3 wide outs for a couple weeks.
That lowers our ceiling drastically

All the things we celebrated and took for granted about this team have suddenly been called into question.

Life is wild like that

 

[SoilVol]

Here's some perspective: The prior 4 coaches has zero field stormings after a loss in ~15 years. Heupel has 2, and a home field storming in 4 seasons. (I don't know when the last opponent field storming was prior to 2022).

Digest that as you will.

I take that as: We are good. And people know we are good. And we are good enough to beat the best and we've been good enough for opponents to celebrate beating us. I'll take that over anything after what I experienced most of my life.

If the coaches didn't trust Nico with experienced wide recievers how will they call it with new guys.

 

[SouthKnoxVOL]

Just watching some replays of Heard....my lord...I'm all for giving Davis more playing time...atleast he will play with some passion and grit.

 

[screenthis]

In that moment he looks open, but there are yet safeties in the area one is fading back and the other was in position to peal back on the ball if thrown. It was at best a toss up ball.

Not going to fault Nico for playing it conservative and trying to get another play in. That was the mode Heupel had him in all night.

Heup is going to have to turn Nico loose now and let him learn. The loss has already happened, you're going to have to beat either Bama or GA and win the rest to have a chance at playoff. Get him ready for next year you make a run.

Agreed. Let Nico loose and make his mistakes (please, not tons of mistakes). We need some of those deep balls and over the middle plays that Hooker made.

Nico fixes his so called issues .

On the botched snap that bounced into Sampson's hands, they flashed over to Heupel. He shouted an unmistakable F-bomb. Looked pretty emotional to me.

There are 4 commercials breaks in the 1st and 3rd quarter. Each break lasts 3:35, plus there is an additional break after the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th quarter end. There is a postgame recap for a minute or two then more commercials before the next game or show. A short opening segment for the next game and then more commercials.

19 minutes of commercials for 15 minutes of football. . . and that's just 1 quarter. 15 mins for the 2nd & 4th quarters, a commercial break after the 2nd, a short segment after that break and then a few halftime commercial breaks during the halftime show.

About 1hour and 30 mins of commercials per game. I believe it's really probably more than that.

Fans are gonna have to do something. They're only gonna show more until they break the fans. The product sucks because of it and it absolutely effects the flow of the game for both teams and impacts the viewing experience for everyone.

If I didnt like talking with you all live during the game, I probably wouldn't even watch, at least until after halftime, so I could fast forward.

I was watching a game earlier on Youtube tv Saturday, and it was on "multi-view" with four games. ALL FOUR games were on commercial. I then switched to another multi-view. Yep, all four games were on commercials. I was so disgusted. So, since a 3:30 game now kicks about 3:45 and then with all the commercials, I believe I will start watching with a two hour delay.

We have Nimrod, Brazzell II, Matthews, Leacock, Staley. It may be time for baptism by fire.

We have more than enough experience between Webb, Nimrod, Thornton, and Brazzell (Tulane). Add in the TE’s and talent in Mike Matthews and we really have no excuse. Nimrod started last year.

 

[Midas]

Everyone watch this. The receivers got open enough times but Nico had no time to throw when they did.

 

[Midas]

^Also a bad snap took away a easy TD

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

Florida line already down to 14.5

I’m sorry, but even on a great year (see 2022) no one in their right mind should believe we’re beating Florida by 20+. We literally play our worst against them every damn year. I think we can, and should, win, but it’s gonna be close.

Bama game at 3:30

When was the last time we got them im Neyland at night? Ugh

 

[WebbCobb]

Agreed. Let Nico loose and make his mistakes (please, not tons of mistakes). We need some of those deep balls and over the middle plays that Hooker made.

Going to need to do a lot of other things in the short passing and running games before those opportunities open up again

Dobbs. Like 14 I think.

 

[KPT_VFL]

UF will come down to if we can stop their short pass game. Last year they killed us on 3rd down. They converted almost every time. We couldn’t get off the field.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

At least he admitted he ****ed up.

Good news is we won't have Elijah Herring running the wrong way against their misdirection this year.

I am not counting this as a win until the clock is at 0:00.

This game is not a gimmie no matter how bad Florida looks.
