Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[VolGee4]

Lol, go look again. We stopped them 3 times at the beginning of the game. After that they scored on 8 straight possessions and had one punt mixed in. Try again.

5/6…they scored 31 points. They punted 4 times. I’ve looked at it. Just getting it correct. We made them punt 3 times to start the game and couldn’t score an offensive point in the second half. People will say anything to support their position.

 

[TN-POSSUM]

We’ll miss the playoffs and Bama will get in. Rankings are a joke

According to Roman Harper, the tide can still get in with 3 losses.

I may have to avoid this place for a couple of weeks while the slow motion realization that we will not go to the playoff starts to set in

Toxicity potential very high

Vols basketball tomorrow st 3:00 p.m. on SEC Network+ vs APSU..

 

[Garren04]

This was the worst defensive game plan I’ve seen from Tennessee since I don’t know when

This was the worst defensive game plan I’ve seen from Tennessee since I don’t know when

Since last year against Georgia.

 

[Girth Brooks]

He’s pissed, and should be.

 

[drylo]

And hoping Florida or miss upsets ole miss.

 

[MarcoVol]

maybe not but the defensive perform we put out there didn’t leave him feeling more confident with his current decision.

It was one game tho

In 1994 the Vols went 7-4 in games where Peyton played significant snaps (including bowl). He finished 89/144 (62%) for 1100yds 11tds 6ints.

The game has changed, but Nico has led the Vols to 8-2 with 144/221 (65%) 1900yds 11tds 4ints with 2 regular season games left that we are highly favored. And that doesnt include last year's bowl game.

He's a freshman. You can't expect any freshman QB to come into the SEC and blow the doors off. Once in a blue moon a guy will (Manziel). If you can't see the leadership and the talent you are blind. If you can't see the very obvious flaws around him affecting his performances every week, you are blind.

Be patient. The goal is to finish 10-2. To do that with a freshman QB and majorly poor OL is an insane accomplishment. Nico is going to do great things for us, and he's got multiple years to do it.

They punted one time after we stopped them three straight. Drove the field, every time. Long drives. Banks made zero changes. TN will never , ever win anything of significance with him as the coordinator. 9-10 wins. He's your man.

If you want elite defensive coaching, look at GA. You literally never know where it's coming from. Safety, corner, olb, ilb. Stunts, twist. Meanwhile, Banks rushes the 4 down linemen, every play.

 

[Smokey123]

rooting for absolute chaos the rest of the way. BYU losing to Kansas would be big

 

[SpringBokVol]

The rankings this week will be very unkind to Tennessee.

Gonna need a bunch of help in front of us.

I don’t think we get in.

I think we get a great non playoff bowl. Yay.

But you said 8/9…guess that wasn’t correct.

Oh well.

It showed that we were really close but need linebackers. He should be happy with his choice

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

At some point in a 12 game season, you have games where both sides of the ball have to win the game. The defense has done it all year. The offense has to execute and not lay an egg in a half. That defensive call has worked hundreds of times- literally.

Ya”ll enjoy acting like you can do it. Have fun.

One of the biggest, arguably most glaring, issues on the offensive side is that we just don’t have playmakers. Sampson, sure we can argue he’s one, but who else? Nico isn’t a playmaker, yet. He’ll get there, absolutely, but he’s not a Hooker or a Tillman or a Hyatt. We don’t have anyone of that caliber on the offensive side that can make huge plays. I think we have guys who can eventually get there (Thorton) but they’re not quite ready. And tonight shows what happens when you don’t have that and the other side does—or at least has 10+ years of solid recruiting that’s established a foundation and culture of success. We’re just not there, yet, but it’s happening.

Our other loss we didn’t even give up 20 points. Offense didn’t have a pulse

 

[Jimmy Football]

Does such a thing exist?

 

[InVOLuntary]

But you said 8/9…guess that wasn’t correct.

Oh well.

So you're saying they only had 8 positions the entire game?

I may be the minority but I still think there's a solid chance. Especially if Big Ten paper machet teams like PSU and Indiana lose and Notre Dame loses to Army. If the SEC gets 5 I think its low chances we get left out. Otherwise we need someone to drop another.

[VolGee4]

They had 9. They scored on 5. It’s all right there to see.

 

[Smokey123]

Text right after the game from a friend that’s a bama fan “why didn’t they run Sampson more”……

It was an atrocity of a defensive gameplan. He called that game like a scared .

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

8 of 9 straight scoring drives, not counting the knell down at the end. Amd they weren't short ones. 80-90 yard drives.

You realize your math doesn’t add up, right? 31 points means they scored 4 times (4*7=28) and then one FG for a total of 5 scoring drives.

Again, I'll make this as simple as I can. ATim Banks looks like a genius when he can get pressure with 4 and occasionally 5. Weve been getting pressure with 4 and 5. He has nothing when they can't. That's been his whole time here. He's not a d coordinator at this level. He never will be. We'll never win anything of significance with him as coordinator. Like i said, you want to see elite defensive coaching, look at GA.
