Recruiting Football Talk VIII

I grew up on here arguing with Hatvol about his sure thing coaches. He might have been slightly more right on a couple hypotheticals, but was equally wrong. I will not be sucked back into those turf wars. I am not 100% happy, but I am not willing to scrap a good thing when I see it either. Imagine if OSU fans had their way after the latest MI loss. Lol 😆 🤣 😂

Will Brooks was in a tie for 2nd most INTs in SEC with 4. Lead the SEC in INT return yards with 152, tied for 2nd in SEC in INT TDs with 1

2nd on team in total tackles with 59, 3rd on team with pass deflections at 5 and his 4 TFLs were highest of any secondary player on the team as well.

SEC stat rankings as a team we finished the year 5th in completion % given up 58.8%, 5th in completions given up a game with 17.2, 5th in passing yards given up per game with 189.3, tied for 2nd fewest passing TDs given up a game at 0.8

And only 3 teams threw for over 250 yards against us on the season, (all 3 were losses too) Arkansas with 297, Ohio State with 317, Georgia with 347 all 3 games were all true road games as well.

I'm not sure what your definition of terrible is, but it's wrong.

Slow and unathletic. Didnt belong on the field against the 2 real contenders we played.

We ranked SIXTH in the country in total defense this year.

"Average" is not even close to what Banks is/was.

I get frustrated with the calls sometimes, but it is hard to disagree with how much we have improved since he arrived.

I also think it was @butchna (???) that showed the stats that we blitzed ~ 30% of the time against OSU, but some people process false information and can't stray from that.

You are by a very wide margin the worst. I'm starting to think that you're not actually a troll, you're just that dense. You're like a blind art critic. "Yeah Rembrandt is ok unless you like paintings." And another thing, why in the heck hasn't Barnes been freaking fired yet? I say let's fire every coach whose last name starts with B.

I had this argument awhile back. Gotta define what a blitz is first. Those numbers assume a 3 man front and consider Pearce rushing a blitz. Most of us who want Banks to blitz more are talking about sending 5 or 6 plus with safites, linebackers or corners.

I give Will Brooke a solid 7.5/10

He's not an elite safety, a former walk on playing in 49 games in the SEC and earning the chance to start for his final year at TN is far from terrible.

His production would have him rated as one of the best safeties in the conference even.
