Recruiting Football Talk VIII

Last Chance Field.

@possum vol

get us a Lube U being buried in graveyard

Let's just nickname SW Field the Wildcat burial ground.

I wish Seldon and a few of our other dudes got more pt last year. I think it'll be 5-7 games before Seldon really gets going. Hopefully next season he'll be seasoned enough to be RB1 at the start of pre-season going into the season.

I agree. Unpopular opinion with some posters on here. It was like playing Joe all season at QB, he was focused on playing Small a bunch of reps at RB. Will see if it turns out to be the best decision overall as team chemistry was in play. But Nico and Seldon with more experience would have been a good thing for this season IMO.

Mouse’s Ear field, imo

I’ve been there once. What a place

Why should he have played over Small, who avg 5 ypc and was our best pass blocker at RB?

 

[LaagerVol]

But what if he needs an ass-whoopin' to learn his lesson and become a better person? You would be doing him a service.

Well that’s my whole conundrum. Do what my flesh wants to do, or what the Spirit leads me to do?

1. Doubt a beat down would teach any kind of lesson. Those types don’t really learn lessons like that. Would satisfy my pride, but wouldn’t accomplish much else.

2. Don’t ever recall reading in the Bible where Jesus said “if someone wrongs you just give’em a good beating”.

I WANT to do exactly what you said, but the Bible and the Holy Spirit say no. A few years ago it’s a no brainer and would have already been settled. It’s counterintuitive to all of my human instincts, but we are supposed to follow the Bible’s instructions. I am a very flawed and imperfect person, but I have a desire to be better and be who Jesus wants me to be. I’m not there yet, not even close, but I want to be.

@VolsDoc81TX is only 12hrs behind

This is similar to the "Doomsday Clock" being 1 minute from midnight. . .

 

[Glitch]

how do you play over someone?

Agreed, one of my big concerns is RB pass protection. Small was our best last year and he is gone. There is more to playing RB than just carrying the ball

I’ve never liked WM, he’s a decent recruiter but can’t develop the talent or coach in game. All of our losses under Heupel have a recurring theme: the secondary did not hold up. Uscjr, Mizzou, Purdue, florida ‘21 and ‘23, our secondary folded and did not perform well at all.

Florida 2023 Etienne rushed for more yards than Ertz threw for. That was a front 7 loss.
Mizzou 2023 Schrader and Cook rushed for 255 yards and 2 TDs (vs 275 yards and 1 TD/1 INT through the air)
Florida 2021 UF had 283 rushing yards at 7.1 ypc
Ole Miss 2021 OM had 279 rushing yards

In all of those games we lost because the front 7 didn't do their job.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Theeeere we go. Was my point.

Ranking College Football's Top 5 First-Year Starting QBs in 2024

1. Nico Iamaleava (Tennessee)
If you watch Nico Iamaleava for a series, it's not hard to see him turning into the next big dual-threat star in college football. Iamaleava is in a perfect setting for a quarterback to thrive in at Tennessee, which should help him transition seamlessly as the starter. Don't be surprised if he's a real contender for the Heisman in his first season as the Volunteers signal-caller.
Heisman Odds: +1400

Why should he have played over Small, who avg 5 ypc and was our best pass blocker at RB?

Exactly. He was "focused" on playing the best players.

Still can't believe Nico vs Milton debate is happening less than a month away from the 24 season kicking off. Nico needed to redshirt. Milton got himself drafted. We had one of the best seasons this century.

 

[Glitch]

He should’ve seen more carries last year, especially in the later half of the season

We had three of the top 10 RB's in the SEC in YPC. Who exactly was Seldon going to supplant? That is not a knock on Seldon, either. I think he is a monster in the making. I just don't see how you sit a highly productive upperclassman that has shown he can produce for a talented underclassman that is still learning the college level game. I think you are living in counter factual land.

 

[Glitch]

Not at the beginning of the year, but as the season progressed we should’ve gotten them more pt, and Nico should’ve taken the reins after Milton’s pick 6 against Mizzou tbh

I am going to go out on a limb and say you are probably not a P5 College Head Football Coach.

[LaagerVol]

Thank you. Confirmation on what I need to do. Talking through it on here helped.

This is 100% real.

Nightmare fuel. This is why I have no faith in the Titans.

Development? How many kids has Martinez put into the NFL? Ignorance is bliss.

Yall just be making up narratives..Florida and mizzou ran all over us last year and the offense had no consistency in either game… football is a team game and the secondary has made improvements each year is cwm perfect no but you blaming him for every loss is insane when mizzou held us to 7 points….
