Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Hate it for Florida.

Oh def saw it. He was bad bad. But you mean just Heard then. Sounded like it was happening a lot so I was wondering if you had other specific examples bc I didn’t notice any but might have missed something.

I assume it happened more than once and to other players. One player playing half assed usually wont lose a game or make the entire team look off.

I noticed a few missed assignments and lackadaisical play from several players and I wasn't even looking for them. I assume we could find a lot more if we tried to look for it.

Well Deboer says he's a model citizen and a good guy so we can't just go by his actions on the field.

That’s a very Alabama-ish answer. Deboer has learned well quickly.

Listening to the podcast this morning they believe they are being timid because they know if Nico gets hurt the season is over. I think it comes down to the atrocious offensive line play…in particular the tackles.

Sad we’re in this state on the offensive line after 4 years but Ellarbee’s first two classes consisted of nothing but warm bodies. It sure would be nice to have a Darnell Wright type player to anchor this offensive line.

RB’s also have to do a better job in pass protection.

On Saturday we need to get that first first down then all gas no brakes. Wear out that 450lb nose tackle.

Does it matter if the O-Line gets Nico killed?

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

Yep. Let it all hang out

So help me understand this, once a player agrees to a scholarship they are locked in to that school? Or will this open the door for some school to come to a guy, in say March, and offer more to a player to try and get them to enroll at their school in the summer?

He ain't yours till he is shows up to class. Kind of how the portal is now.

I legit didn’t notice it. I did see a ton of lack of execution but didn’t notice it being from a lack of effort.

1-1 after opening with 2 road games is honestly where my “realistic” pre-season prediction had us. The teams flipped, but Pittman knows the LOS is where you win in this league and they did that.

Play calling was bad, but if our OL wins their matchup then it wouldn’t have mattered.

Need to win Saturday, that’s all that matters now. Hoping to see Nico take a big step as well.

Looks like this hurricane is going to go further south than they anticipated to me.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Wow, what a complete cluster this is going to be! Coaches are going to get run into the ground, because they’re going to have to be recruiting about 200 guys all the time to keep them on the team, stay committed to their scholarship agreement, recruiting guys in future classes, etc., etc.

Three down linemen playing 2 gap technique. Often they will switch to a beafrontr( walk up the linebackers and secondary goes man) as we get in to the red zone or they think we are going with inside zone. When we go fast and the other team can't change personnel this is used.

To beat teams running an odd front who are in tight we have to get to the perimeter. When they switch to okie then we can run inside zone, if they go bear we beat them the passing game.

Thanks. And I thought I knew football. So a Normal Front would be 4 lineman, two linebackers?

I dont recall that 'moment' when my BVS started, but, I do remember being in front of the TV praying, begging...



ugh



Sigh

so many others...

Not enough credit is given to Arkansas. I want their RB to portal here. Their defense played like we did against Oklahoma. Absolute animals. I miss Sam Pittman. Good man.

Buuuut…. Film’s out on this offense and seems we will sputter along until next year. Can’t fix this in season.

Next season will be interesting with a new OL.

 

[screenthis]

Hate it for Florida.

After that Hurricane tears through Florida, he best switch his commitment to Tennessee. Gonna be a mess down there for a while.

I'm sorry @InVOLuntary has abused your kind.

 

[Weezer]

What's really sad is he got paid a lot of money to come here and play so poorly, with what appears to be so little effort. I'm curious if he sticks around after this season or portals again. Hope he realizes if he decides to portal again, his tape from this season thus far isn't going to get him another fat check.

We're all so happy about that. Wifey told me this morning that places down there have run out of gasoline. That's why I said leave early and keep your tank full. Been there, done that, several times.

Dwelling in the misery of the past seems to be the trend around here.

I def didn’t think we’d be mentioning the name Milton so much this Florida week. Kinda a weird coincidence. But that Hurricane is seriously terrifying.

Thanks. And I thought I knew football. So a Normal Front would be 4 lineman, two linebackers?

dude we are all learning. An odd front is different than an even front, where linemen generally are responsible for one gap. Even fronts normally have 4 on line and the defenders try to hold (or sometimes shoot through) their gaps against blocks. Odd front defenders aim to tie up blocks to let LBs clean up. Effective 2-gap defenders can shed blocks and make tackles in either gap.

Weirdly, odd front teams often still play 4 on the line, with a LB playing over or outside of an OT. This player might rush, stunt, drop into coverage, or spy the QB. The combinations are

If I had to guess, UT’s struggles against odd fronts (relatively speaking) has less to do with the front itself and more to do with the extra defender playing the pass. Teams are playing 3 over 2 on both sides, and that leaves just 5 defenders in the box. Given UT’s use of power, defenses normally need to have 2 LBs to prevent a successful run from going to the house. At that point, the math dictates an odd front.

How did the Braves do today in their game? I will wait patiently on the answer.

Actually the Braves did remarkably better today than their last two games.
