Recruiting Football Talk VIII

[25vol]

Who was better 6th year Joe Milton or 2nd year Nico?

I feel like Joe was better in his last year because he wasn’t afraid to try and push the ball down the field whereas Nico had “deer in headlights” moments typical of a freshman QB.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Hypothetically if Ekeler is not renewed. Who would coach special teams?

Some sort of assistant nobody knows the name of

 

[MarcoVol]

Hope Banks stays. Just like most of us figured about staff changes. Heupel doesn’t like change. So no new OC. Oh well.

It’d be great if the O tore it up next year to silence the critics

 

[VolsNUT]

I just spent $300 to hire a limousine and discovered that the fee does not include a driver.

I can't believe I've spent all that money and have nothing to chauffeur it.

I was watching a few Christmas shows and had no idea that Chad Krueger (Nickelback) was a Broadway actor. He has played in several plays as an extra in the Nativity scenes. He's played Joseph and even the front half of a donkey, but he's never made it as a Wiseman...

 

[Midas]

That’s an interesting opinion. Can you expand?

I’m of the perception that Ekeler is a great recruiter. Also his position groups, Edge/OLB and Special Teams have been phenomenal while he’s been here. I don’t have one bad thing to say about him, so seeing that comment from you is a bit of a surprise.

Question, what does he do specifically with the edges if we have Rodney Gardner coaching dline, edges included? Being serious not sarcastic in anyway just legitimately curious how Ekeler impacts that group and how it works with two guys coaching them.

I would love that. I would gladly eat crow.

 

[Cosmo Kramer]

I LIKE
EK​

Fulmer says we’re gonna work like EK

 

[Volbucky]

Peyton?

Obviously the only logical answer

 

[Adam Sandler]

I have so many list I have to check them twice!

Except the grocery list, I don’t look at that.

I make one, bring it to the store, and neglect to get everything on it but somehow end up with things not on it.

Lesson: Stoned grocery shopping, while enjoyable, is neither efficient nor productive.

 

[Midas]

How many lists do you have?

I just imagine Trippie hitting a joint creating lists like Charlie Day

Yeah I look at the list when I walk in, but then I see something that sounds better and I’ll get that instead.

Instead of some boring **** like humus and carrots, I’ll see cookie dough ice cream or some new flavor of chip and I’ll grab that instead.

If fruit is on the list, I get fruit gummies instead.

 

[UTSuave’]

Inject into my veins I’ve been waiting for a half time speech like this from JH..since the Arkansas game ..I love this s**t

 

[FanDude]

Brazzell could be that if he could just squeeze the dang ball

I have two words for young Mr. Brazzell, jug machine. Also, agree that he needs to work like Hyatt did in the 21-22 off-season to take his game to a higher level. A lot of receivers have talent, but it takes a tremendous amount of dedication and effort to basically become a super human football player. If that light comes on, he can do it.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Nacho Cheese Doritos with French Onion dip.

That will change your life. If you don’t like it, Freak can ban me forever.

Don’t write checks you’re not prepared to have cashed. A sober person is going to do this and then you’ll have 3 hours of your day back.

 

[GVol1966]

He is not a good recruiter. The next recruit he brings in will be the first. It just looks that way because he posts about hot chili on twitter.

The guys you’re probably thinking of as his are all Chop guys. Rodney really coaches the LEOs too. Expensive ST coach.

So, why does Heupel keep dead weight around?

 

[JacketVol]

we're calling winning 'just a phrase.'

No, being perfect. Jave was word smithing me.

 

[Adam Sandler]

Hypothetically if Ekeler is not renewed. Who would coach special teams?

Nobody that would excite you. Likely promote from within.

It sounds like @KingVFL is saying he doesn’t do much at all with them

I think Brazzell is gonna have a really good year in 2025

[jave36]

We won 10 games. That may not be perfect but that is just a phrase. He was way more right than he was wrong. Team overall won over the Vegas line. They over achieved

Agreed. And that's why we're lucky to have him. But we had enough talent to win 11, get a home playoff game, and maybe win 12. I blame the adjustments to the offense not being as good as they needed to be.

deer jesus that sounds horrible

Who was better 6th year Joe Milton or 2nd year Nico?

Nice question. Pretty close, but I'd give Nico the edge for his ability to use his legs in the right situations.

 

[OrangeMoundTNVol]

I feel like Joe was better in his last year because he wasn’t afraid to try and push the ball down the field whereas Nico had “deer in headlights” moments typical of a freshman QB.

70% of his attempts were WR screens, I rather watch paint dry than endure that Joe Milton led offense. At least Nico could hit a post route

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

Nice question. Pretty close, but I'd give Nico the edge for his ability to use his legs in the right situations.

That's the only thing, otherwise Nico missed more...and actually had better WR's and TE's.
