Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

I couldn’t care less if we start a sack of taters at QB as long as is the best guy we’ve got.

What I’ve seen since Dobbs graduated defies reason

I heard Cabbage will be pushing for playing time if he keeps his head about him.

 

[Jack Burton]

Which isn't "highest paid DB" what you originally said.

Semantics, whatever. The point remains: Justin Coleman “Highest Paid Anything NFL” is a surprise after watching his college career here.

I don’t know if you are being facetious. But atmospheric interference with rays is way different for things like internet and satellite tv.

No I wasn't. I think my antenna is embedded at the bottom of my windshield.

Oh okay lol

Lettuce go.

A lot of rationalization about WM. Some of us have actually watched some of the games he's coached for a long time as well as his career trajectory. There are good reasons he has bounced around many P5 and G5 programs for his entire career.

But who knows, maybe he will enjoy a career resurgence with Banks making it happen.

SIAP

 

[Jack Burton]

He was the highest paid Nickle when he signed Detroit deal. Nobody said highest paid DB

I did in the generic sense. Specifically he was nickel which is sometimes referred to as a nickel DB but we’re getting in the weeds.

interesting. can't say i'm overly confident there....but he is apparently still giving us a chance.....so let's go.

Trying to prove what E-Man and JC did at UT using stats is ridiculous when we watched them play. The final judgment on how well they played was their NFL Draft stock, which was UFA as practice squad signings. Nobody came calling for them because they were not good enough. They developed afterwards.

I am hoping after 2-3 of our receivers crack the 1000 yard mark this fall, we will see lots more receivers wanting in!

Latency isn't a big deal for streaming. You can definitely stream with satellite internet.

Gaming on the other hand isn't going to work too well.

What speeds do you need for gaming? I've heard a ping rate is important.

ok, i'm in on that.....

 

[johnfnkelly]

Any chance we give Joe Milton a look? I'm all for getting as many bodies in the QB room till we find somebody.

That was weak and coming from me.....well you decide. LOL

When your team isn’t good you don’t tend to get drafted. Has nothing to do with development sometimes. Kids on the winning teams are in spotlight more and scouts overlook their flaws or think they can get them later as people may overlook. A lot goes into that. Look at Kyle, Marquez and Shy who were undrafted yet had immediate impacts. More and more good college players go undrafted each year as everyone is jumping as soon as they are eligible for draft and there are less rounds than used to be. Coleman was good at TN at CB outside of the deep ball and when they moved him to Nickel because of his struggles in that dept his career took off. Willie at least deserves credit for that.

Also nobody here is saying Willie is the greatest DB coach. Most just saying you can do worse and the unit can be a winnable one as he is solid but not special

 

[WarMachine]

In the 2019 season, UCF had 3 receivers with 700+ yards, and one of those had 1200+

Basilio bringing the fire today. He really likes the offensive staff that has been assembled. Seem very organized and professional. Could work out well for us.

On the other hand, he thinks the Martinez hire is terrible. He’s not liked by coaches in the state, doesn’t develop his players (see Justin Coleman and Emmanuel Moseley), and looks like a lazy hire by DW. Coleman and Moseley should have been stars here but went undrafted and didn’t shine until the NFL.

Moseley was a 2 star with NO other big offers. He wouldn't even be in the NFL if it weren't for his development here. Dumb take.

I'd be all for it if spots weren't so tight

Cam was good, made good breaks, played fast and aggressive. I shook my head at how many times Coleman got burned and shook my head again when he made bank in the NFL. I hope other staff influences Martinez for the better. But ultimately, we just need to score more than the other team. Go offense.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

I’m still wagering $50 that Hooker isn’t the starter. I will wager another $50 that Bailey will be.

I guess you missed the part where I implied I wasn’t a betting man. Maybe someone else will take you up on the bet.

My reply was equal in strength to the strength of the pun quoted.
