Recruiting Forum Football Talk II

Most reasonable people have been on board with 2021 being the year to break through. The win streak and JG looking a little improved those first 2 games got everyone a little excited. But then to see the same old same old JG in the 2nd half vs UGA, and yet have no other QB on the roster ready to step in and roll, in year 3, is what has people upset. Sorry Weinke, but unless we see some QB development, we’re gonna have to cut you loose!

 

[VolGee4]

Yeah, they ran out of gas in 2018. Not sure if we can put that on coaching. They had, what, 60-something scholarship athletes that year?

Not sure. I just thought with Pruitt's defensive mind and with guys like Shy, Phillips, Taylor, Bituli, Warrior, etc. we would play a little better on defense against Mizzou and Vandy.

On another note, I had a big Bama acquaintance tell me today that they miss Pruitt on defense.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

I’m excited about the praise Tamarion McDonald got by Pruitt.

I need more scrimmage nugs.

Also like that AP said we’ll do it again next Sunday after kensucky. Brilliant idea by the staff. Keep the young guys who aren’t playing engaged, help them develop, and maybe helps keep some of them from considering the transfer portal.

Shrout and Maurer had a leash 2 cm’s long. JG’s leash runs the length of the Mississippi

This is Pruitt's flaw. JG should have been yanked by now. And the other Qbs should have gotten more run time last year.

Picked Franks over Trask.

Wouldn't you have? I mean at that point in time Trask hadnt played football since what middle school...he was a back up in high school.

So glad you’re out there making decisions for the team keep up the good work

Hindsight is 20/20

Your family might consider that an overreaction. Your doctor and electrician would thank you.

Thank you for blessing me with your perspective.I’m glad you’re worried about me @butchna humbled

If you think we're in a tier with Texas A&M and Auburn, then you still need a reality check.


Texas A&M's losses last year were to the #1, #8, #1, #4 and #2 teams in the nation. Tennessee lost to Georgia State and BYU. We also squeaked out close wins against Kentucky, Missouri and Indiana.

Texas A&M also just beat Florida. Come talk to me about this comparison the next time UT beats Florida.

And the fact that you think that GS and BYU are relevant to the current state of Tennessee football tells me all I need to know about your viewpoint.

 

[reVOLution33]

AP said Zachary is not a Vol

Ask AP about this mystery recruit that was supposed to commit to us before Mims announced his decision.

That's true, but who did they beat? We also beat USC and MSU. That leaves OM, Arkansas, and 3 cupcakes. Sure, we lost to Georgia State. But with regards to SEC play, we have been losing to 3 top 10 teams every year as well.

I would put A&M ahead of us for sure, but they have done nothing special in conference.

I don't know how people keep laying Saturday at JG's feet. He didn't play well, but our o-line, which should be top 5 in the nation, got absolutely manhandled in the run and pass.

 

[reVOLution33]

@Atlanta VOL care to divulge the QB situation that you said you couldn't say much about. You said JG had a very short leash. After the last game that doesn't seem apparent.

 

[Vol423]

And the fact that you think that GS and BYU are relevant to the current state of Tennessee football tells me all I need to know about your viewpoint.

Don't blame me for you being foolish enough to equate us to Texas A&M because we had the same record as them last year and this year. You don't even have to look at last year. Texas A&M just beat Florida.

If we indeed get to play those games as scheduled, time will tell who needs a "reality check".

IMHO....

1 Georgia
2 Bama
3 Gators
4 - 12 Take you pick
13-14 Cellar Dwellers....Candy and Gamecocks

 

[gordonr24]

Disregard. Can’t believe I allowed myself to be fooled. First time. I’m slipping.

 

[volfaninpa]

Haven’t seen this posted on the thread. This is a little shocking.

Does UT have any room for another off the field analyst on the defensive side of the ball?

 

[Newman]

Haven’t seen this posted on the thread. This is a little shocking.

It’s fake. They had one on Pruitt resigning today as well.

 

[VolGee4]

Haven’t seen this posted on the thread. This is a little shocking.

Don't think that's real. That account also tweeted that Pruitt was stepping down.

 

[SSVol]

I'm a fool because I disagreed with your opinion? Nice. Bye.

 

[BruinVol]

Haven’t seen this posted on the thread. This is a little surprising. Didn’t think Dan would pull the trigger so soon.

Fake

 

[BruinVol]

Surely that’s not true
