Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[MarcoVol]

I’m not being a hater…. But is there any reason why Chaz Nimrod gets so much run?

I know Ben McKee was super high on him the offseason, claiming he’d unseat Squirrel in the slot. But I’ve never seen Nimrod as anything other than average. He had some costly drops the other night.

I’m not saying he’s a bad player. But he’s what Bill Parcells used to refer to as a JAG - just another guy.

I had sincere hopes that Matthews was going to get some PT the other night. I don’t think he even took a snap.

Matthews played but only 13 snaps

Matthews played but only 13 snaps

Was he targeted at all? I have no recollection of seeing him out there

The Tennessee vs Indiana Basketball exhibition game will be on ESPN+ at 3p.m. on October 27th.

The Deacon will showcase his new talented team.

Also, our striped warm-up pants will be manifestly superior. Permit me to be the first to say it. They had a decent idea, but their execution fell flat with that inferior color scheme. We set the world right.

Wes Rucker likes sound of his own voice.

I think it's because Chas can play all the positions.

Otherwise I want almost anyone else on those go routes. Chas on some slants is good, but put literally anyone else on those 9 routes. Hopefully Donte is 100% and they use Matthews when they want to sub.

Coach wanted him to focus on practicing his form when route running

By my estimation he had maybe a slightly below average day. Not near as bad as some are acting.

The fumble. I think he scores if he can keep it. Totally different ball game. Missed the two deep balls, not sure if the one to Nimrod was his fault. The other two were close. The slant to Nimrod needed more touch. Didn't need to rifle that in there. The INT was bad.

Plenty of nice plays. I really it's just a matter of time before he gets rolling. Just needs to get in a rhythm and everyone else step their game up a little.

Nico has to run early and often on Saturday. Designed runs. We need them to win. Sure, it opens him up to injury and the loss of him for the season, but if we lose, the season’s goals are out the window anyway.

It’ll definitely be a “throw the kitchen sink” kind of game

 

[UTgrad2015]

I thought it was
Sutton/Mosely
Alontae/Bryce

Maybe I was thinkin of Thompson.. all runs together

What’s up with Cam Seldon? He still hurt?

What’s up with Cam Seldon? He still hurt?

Good question. Been wondering where he's been. Would love to see him as that 3rd wrinkle in the run game

 

[MockingVol]

Looking over all of the current playoff projections we will have to beat Bama to make the conversation.

Just win.

If we beat one of Bama or Georgia and finish with only 2 losses, we are 100% in. Lose both and we will be right on the cut line.

 

[Jackcrevol]

That was one of the funniest things ive seen in a while. Dude is funny.

Would you mind posting the others in that thread for those of us not on X?

My only concern is OL play. Don’t know how ya fix that. Heard is still young so maybe he gets better, but rest of OL has been here for years…they are who they are.

Make him ride the bicycle during every game while someone else plays LT. Until he gets 100% of his endurance back and proves that he deserves to play. If he slows down on the bicycle at all, then pushups until he is ready for the bicycle again.

Give whoever plays LT a blocking TE to help keep Nico safe.

There were some Milton style throws in there that maybe the receievers could have caught, but it also looked like Nico didn't help them..

 

[DD4ME]

Bingo! This is the way.

Rolling him out helped him too. Now we need to connect the deep shots.

Depends on how many either opponent goes on to lose. There is no gaurantee imo that a 3 loss team is even in discussion because we've cannibalized each other.

The exception is if uGA beats TX this weekend and we beat UGA.

Nimrod needs less snaps.

We still don’t have a single dude at WR.

Where’s a Hyatt. Where’s a Tillman. Where’s a Jauan Jennings. Marquez Callaway. Justin Hunter. Da’Rick. Marquez North (short career. what happened to him?) Jayson Swain. Brett Smith. Robert Meacham.

We’ve always had dudes. We are WRU and we have no one inspiring in that room.

 

[DD4ME]

Where is A&M in the conference discussion. They may be top 5 balanced team.

 

[RiseToTheTop]

We also only ask them to run like 2 diff routes it feels like. It’s so predictable and easy to defend.

Thornton made some catches.

Squirrel was hurt hurt and maybe made the play of the game against UF.

Bru has made nasty grown man blocks he's just injury prone.


I still say oline plus Nico is what is holding recievers back.

 

[TrippieRedd]

Brazzell, Matthews, and Thornton, just pair those 3 together plsssss
