Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Glad to see you assume your place at the mantle of hyperbole. Serious question, has that ever worked out for you?

All the time..how does being a grey squishy directionless blob work out for you?

Happy Cinco Day ya'll!

Religious and political discussions are so exciting

Especially in the recruiting forum

I am not white. I am pale/clear and I don't appreciate being lumped in with white folks.

Or as the Andorians would call you...a pink skin.


Lol..vague Star Trek reference for you Trekkie nerds out there..

I keep finding myself getting excited for the season and seeing this offense. Heupel has had dynamic, explosive offenses everywhere. We have underutilized talent.

And then the BVS kicks in and reminds of the last 100 times I've gotten my hopes up since 2005.
But I'm trying to hold steady!

With you. You know Heup can develop Qb's. You know he can coach high scoring offenses. We know UCF just put more players in the draft than Clemson. You know Garner gets dudes drafted all the time. But then you think, this is UT. He and Garner and all those guys will come here and forget how to coach.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I am not arguing that point. Just the way you answered seemed out of character for you. I know you are a good dude. Not trying to tell you how to think. I know better than that, LOL.

I have been pushed too far...I am over beating around the bush with the whack job freaks over how I feel about all this moronic divisive stupidity...they sure as hell don't.

 

[yourstruly23]

I think our offense will be better, but I’m not expecting similar results to what he did at UCF and Missouri. 3 years, and we should be there.

I think he has more talent here on offense than either of those two places.. it all comes down to the QB position.

He may have more talent but we also play against tougher comp.

Willie has put a bunch of dudes in the NFL as well, and BJM seems like he will do great on the recruiting trail. I am with you guys (don't wanna get my hopes up), but I do think we will see a dynamic offense this year for the first time since losing Dobbs

SEC defenses aren't what they used to be. I think we will see some points being scored by the VOLS; don't see our defense stopping many teams though.

This post feels like you've accessed the matrix and entered my mind

My blood pressure has risen dramatically so I am excusing myself from the discussion and give something better to think about...this is Artists Pallette in DVNP..

This is what I tell myself when those thoughts come in

No stupid convoluted offensive scheme from Butch and his dumb play calls that squandered game after game.

No outdated Pruitt offense.

No trotting out of the JG.

Get Heup!

Good call, and we are all Vols here, brother.

This is true. When you look back at his time at Mizzou, they didn't put up a lot of numbers against the good teams in the division. They even got shut down by Ky. But, Barry Odom was the head coach and we know he was awful. How much was he hamstringing the offense? You look at Heup's offenses at OU and at UCF, he put up big numbers against everyone. That LSU team they played in 2018 was legit on defense. He still put up 35 or whatever it was and moved the ball down the field with ease.

I’m ready for football. I do think Heupel will be the one to turn things around. So he could surprise me this year and put up big numbers.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Heck at this point even if we go 4-8 or 5-7 I’d be okay with it if we scored 28+ every game.

@frank Invol is trying to bully people who are smarter than he is again.

I have the same thoughts. I'm locked in with Coach Heup. The guy's a winner and strong developer of young men along with his staff. This is going to be a fun ride instead of a slog every game. There have been some high points over the past 15 years or so like with Dobbs at times, but it was always because of individual effort and talent. Now there is a scheme that leads to the fun and it can be modified to the roster talent. Much better way to go.

He does a great job of isolating his skill players on defenders to allow them to make plays. That's fun and the players love it. It's just on the QB to get it to the right guy and get them into the right play as needed. With the attack being balanced Heup can take some pressure off the QB decision-making.

 

[itsme]

How many consecutive push ups can you guys do like right now?

45-50 I would say.

Edit: did arms today started with 100 tricep extentions and 100 curls so maybe 15 consecutive today

My biggest concern is things only got worse at UCF over his three years there. (COVID year shouldn't really count, I'd say that was a 9-10 win team under normal circumstances.)

Anyway, how will Heupel's system look with a roster Jeremy Pruitt built vs. a roster Scott Frost built? That's my biggest question.

 

[Jackcrevol]

worse than 3-7?

From reading the last several page's I'm starting to believe that SKITTLES may not be strong enough and we may need to get a Prozac Lick Block and place it in the center of the room..........We're having Tater Tots and Hot dogs for lunch......living the dream baby, living the dream.

Buck Reising on The Zone was just talking about a potential trade between the Titans and Packers. Tannehill for Rogers! I was only able to listen for a couple of minutes. Has anyone else heard this?
