Seen that before

Was this game your favorite football day ever?

 

[drvenner]

Ezekiel Elliot, Terry Beckner, Jeremy Maclin, Sheldon Richardson and DBG (even though he moved to Springfield) all STL players.

Shane Ray, Drew Lock, Aldon Smith KC
only one that got away was Elliot.

There's an abundance of talent in MO...

Do you lock down your state?

RB coach is fine.
The defense was giving up the passing routes and WRs were having a record setting day. QB threw for 400 yards which he has never done. 3 WRs went over 100 yards which is a new school record.

RBs went for 110. RB coach had nothing to do with OC being rightfully pass happy. JG was playing out of his mind (good thing for him ). If the passing game wasn’t there, you would have seen more running plays called.

Idk...kinda in a way disagree..Ty chandler has regressed some it seems he’s definitely not the same running back he was last year.

I am going to say let's see what he can do against a truly elite D like OSU or at least a strong D like LSU or Bama.

LSU's 42nd in scoring defense, they're not that good. OSU and Bama are though as is Clemson (but who have they played really?)

 

[UTSuave’]

Good point. He definitely seemed fine following, but taken back during, could have been just what you pointed out.

By the way..glad to see you respond and that you’re alive did any intruders try to test your aiming abilities while holding the fort down from the recliner

 

[SpringBokVol]

Doyle was definitely too close to the LOS on those kicks. Super strange.

 

[butchna]

I didn’t know Burfict went undrafted. That’s crazy.

Personal issues rampant in college also...think he’s been a hellion since birth.

 

[HankHill]

Draft day doesn’t tell you how good a team was. South Carolina will have more drafted players than Appy state, we will have more than GA state & BYU etc. there’s Some bad coaches in the SEC now and it’s dragging down the conference. Mason, mushchamp, Morris,Moorhead (who i was wrong on), Odom. Are not good coaches.

 

[bignewt]

I told y'all fantasy players before the season aj brown could be a sneaky pickup.

Just took 12 weeks lol

Nearly identical this season as last year...he's gotten less targets in the receiving game, not sure that's him regressing though.

I think he's not staying as healthy, same thing happened last year. Had a big game early (Texas-El Paso in 2018, BYU this year) and then faded. Then appears to get healthy and has solid outings towards the end (Kentucky & Missouri in 2018 and South Carolina & UAB this year).

 

[HankHill]

If JJ goes late in the draft, someone is gonna get a steal. Dude is just a football player.

Agree. The good thing for him is he will probably go to good cultured team bc Questions About his dismissal will come up so a team like New England, Kansas City, Seattle, Philadelphia etc will take a chance on him if i has to guess.

Except that is not likely to happen because of the conference he is in.

Complete POS.

They are very well coached. They just need a GM.

Bama played LSU, and the defense for neither team looked all that great.

 

[SweetasSoda]

Doyle was definitely too close to the LOS on those kicks. Super strange.

Lol almost like he was paid to do that and shank that punt. Well, only explanation I can come up with.

 

[InVOLuntary]

Yep. He's been healthy for more than a year, and this season has shown that his condition can be managed. If he's medically cleared by combine doctors, he'll probably shoot up the big board. If he grades high, he'll probably take the opportunity.

I agree with you but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

Potentially Hot Take coming in -

I had it 3 times now, and can now definitively say:

The Popeye’s Spicy Chicken Sandwich is superior to Chik-fil-A’s in every way.

Buy stock in Popeye's! You heard it here, well. if it tanks, my name is OD.

 

[jakez4ut]

Bama played LSU, and the defense for neither team looked al that great.

i dont' think either one has defenses like we're used to, as has played out when you watch them against anyone with a pulse offensively....

but i'll be fair regarding their game against each other....and say neither of them have offenses like we're used to either....especially LSU.

 

[BruinVol]

Lol so you should just not use a TO? And stay in a bad play/situation? Timeouts aren’t all that valuable in college like they are NFL

You just made my point.

Getting your team into the wrong play or wrong personale on the first play of a drive is a real problem that can’t me made in game 11


I understand this board wants to overlook clear signs this coaching staff isn’t performing at an elite level yet when we win but if Pruitt wants to take this program to the next level we can’t have these kind of mistakes

 

[LA Vol]

I agree with you but that doesn't mean I have to like it.

I don't like it, either. I want Trey to have one more year in orange-- just like I did with Grant Williams.

And I'd like all the SRs to get a do-over year for 2017.

 

[HankHill]

If the story is true that he's not involved with contact practices, I doubt that will fly in the NFL. Those dudes are big and mean and he'll have to practice, with contact, or they may take him to the wood shed. I hope he has a long career in the NFL but I don't see how that can be accomplished with contact practices.

They are not many practices in the nfl that are full on contact. They have cracked down on that tremendously due to the CBA. If anything that will help trey. Training camp is a grind but not full on tackle everyday. Once the season starts it’s all maintenance.

That’s not always on the coaches tho. There’s 11 players that have to hear/understand the play call. Sometimes when you get out there you realize the play you called is not going to work so you try and check and are forced to call a TO. It’s really easy to get a delay call off a timeout, quarter change etc bc you’re out of rythem.

I just think you’re putting way too much value in timeouts. They really aren’t all that important in college.
