Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[Ashevolle]

Talk about drinking from a firehose. First 2 conference starts are road night games in raucous environments lol. Pretty crazy when you think about that.

I like that he protected the ball. Definitely a down performance, but it's SO easy to turn the ball over under duress on the road in that kind of environment. He'll bounce back.

I've never understood why we never utilize Squirrels speed with some jet sweeps or something like that

I honestly don’t know. But it seems like they have failed to get open consistently all year. I mean Bama has a 17 year old that is worlds better than any WR we have.

In fairness, Williams is unreal. He might be the best WR in CFB as a 17 year old, at least when it comes to body control.

But I also think the point about running the QB is insightful. Accounting for the QB run requires bringing another defender in the box (or close). That one change means that one side of the field will be effectively 1v1 at the snap. It’s a lot easier to get open against 1 defender than 2.

That last sentence is the kind of hard hitting analysis I get paid for.

Id rather jet sweep Thornton or Mathews. Squirrels contact balance is non existent.

A penguin is having car trouble, so he takes his car to the garage. The mechanic says it'll take about an hour to check what's wrong.

The penguin sees an ice cream shop across the street, and heads over to get himself a snack while he's waiting.

It's awkward for the poor guy to eat with his flippers, and he makes a bit of a mess.

He goes back to the mechanic to find out what's wrong with the car.

Mechanic says "Looks like you blew a seal".

"Ha, no ... that's just a little ice cream".

 

[drvenner]

Agreed 100%

Not understanding the pacing issues

I wonder if the headset has had a negative impact

Had to unblock momentarily to see who merited that response! A long time

I fully expect us to lose Saturday and honestly you can’t blame me. Gonna be a long week..

Sack up.

 

[drvenner]

People need to start naming names. I don't recall anyone saying that, much less many.

It was inferred by the no way we should have ever lost that game. It was a bit of extrapolation but if you want to quibble, have at it.

 

[drvenner]

Easy now....blame should be placed elsewhere according to some posters.

Blame should be shared and not placed on individuals since , you know, it's a team sport.

I don’t take anyone seriously who speaks down on my QB1.

I fully expect us to lose Saturday and honestly you can’t blame me. Gonna be a long week..

Hope your getting the hell outta there

He told you he was gonna leave?

Brother you know how todays game is being played…NIL is a free for all..he doesn’t have to tell me anything we’ve been watching it…maybe he’s different…idk

 

[UTSuave’]

How many TOs does he average holding onto? It seems like a lot.

I can blame you for ignorance

 

[MarcoVol]

Yep. And now the media, like the vultures they are, will turn on us and run us down as though they weren’t the ones laying the rat poison in the first place.

Butch was right about one thing at least: love is conditional. Don’t buy your hype. Keep your head down and just do your job. They love you til you slip, and then they’ve got nothing but opprobrium and venom to throw your way.

Well except the media (AP) only dropped us to #8. I think they’re higher on ARK more so than they are hating on Vols. But there will be questions and rightfully so.

If we have another elite 8 in the next 10 years, it would be, by far, the best 10 years in our history.

Anyways, let’s get back to dooming on football. Plenty of time for hoops in the coming months.

@TheMookieMonster started that sh-t. Came in here posting that football should be moved to the parking lot and everything given to baseball. People called him out for being the hysterical yo-yo belligerent way he is when any Tennessee team loses. (He does it in the baseball and basketball forums, too). Then he ran back to the basketball forum and tried to see how many people there he could fool or entice into condemning football. A classic trollish completely unfounded "us vs them" solicitation. Embarrassingly, several basketball regulars in a row co-signed his BS.

@mr.checkerboards was MUCH more reasonable Saturday night than @TheDookieMonster. Checker may have responded to the Dookie and Dookie spun it as bashing basketball. This is the only Forum on VN, apparently, that supports the Big 3 whole-heartedly and NEVER goes snide on another one of our programs to brownnose.

So enough of that.

Please vote for my nephew for Tennessean player of the week. Some of you know that my brother committed suicide 2 years ago. His son, Brogan High, is up for Tennessean player of the week. He wasn’t expecting to start but got thrust into the starting position as the ball was kicked and then Portland beat Henry County for the first time ever. He’s also the biggest Vols fan you would ever meet. Thanks everyone.

If you refresh you can vote multiple times.

Something tells me Enki_Amenra may currently be 'jail breaking'.

Nah it was before that. Berry started it all throwing an unneeded shot at me.
It's incredible what happens when people actually want to have a conversation instead of acting like there's only one side and ganging up with your buddies and bashing instead of having a conversation.

SSmokeyis a good example, he and I are on different sides of the coin in B Ball, but instead of being an asshat, he and I are able to have good back and forth. I respect the hell out of him
