Recruiting Forum Football Talk III

The first flag was for roughing the longsnapper. GP kid bulldozed him, and the two flags were right on the spot.

Falss start on the second kick. Backed up and rekicked.

It was moot, because of penalties, but they completely misjudged one kick. The refs called it no-good, when it clearly went through the uprights.

Either way, it's always good to see G-P get beat, especially when it's Seymour doing it.

Paul Finebaum walked into a bar last night. Bartender said, "Hey Paul, wanna hear a joke?" Paul said, "Sure. I'm all ears."

That's eerie, just heard a joke that sounded almost like that one.

I just don't get the logic of this. Great WRs makes a QB look good, but they're not great WRs because they had a great QB throwing to them? I watched a few of those HS games. AG dropped a lot of really good passes. Have AG, RW, and RK made QBs look great during college yet? Maybe they helped each other and will succeed in college if they pair up with other great players.

Used to be you didn't want a freshman starting the first year and not the next year if you didn't have to. HB has time to develop.

Read the preface, I'm not just completely trashing HB in my post, I think HB could be great but does he compare to Deshaun Watson, Trevor Lawrence, or Jake Fromm (the 3 guys that were ahead of him in all-time passing yards and what we were kind've discussing)? Short answer: no

Tennessee hit the practice field Friday morning in for a spirited 14th session. I thought the energy level was pretty solid with coaches getting after the players and players getting after each other. With only 13 days until kickoff, there’s still a lot of work to be done – but time is ticking.

Juwan Mitchell and Jeremy Banks had a heated back-and-forth while taking part in individual drills. The two were both working to hold each other accountable. If I’m a coach, that’s what I want to see.

Defense worked the circuits for the first part of practice before breaking off into individual drills. As we were walking off, the offense and defensive skill players came together for 1-on-1 tackling drills: RB/TEs v. LBs, WRs/CBs, etc. Way back in my day, we called this the nutcracker.

The quarterback order remained the same up front with Milton. However, Hooker followed while we were out here with Bailey third in line. There was added emphasis on rollouts and throwing on the run today as five quarterbacks went at a time; rolling out left or right on command from coaches.

I thought all quarterbacks threw relatively well on the run. Milton overshot a couple of receivers – but also connected on several more, which looked impressive. Here’s the order of skill guys who went together as groups during the drill. It was four-wide with one back. The drill was at about 60%.

Payton, Hyatt, Tillman, Warren, Small
Jones, Merrill, Keyton, Fant, Evans
Coby, Jancek, Campbell and Wright were a part of the third group

Prior to the rollout drill, quarterbacks took turns throwing slants, in’s and posts to wideouts while tight ends and slots worked on getting inside release on a seam route.

At the beginning of our viewing period, Velus Jones, Jaylen Wright, Kaemen Marley and Jalin Hyatt were back returning kicks during special team drills.

For the injury report, Kaemen Marley was going through individual drills with the wide receivers. He had some fingers on his left hand bandaged up. Ollie Lane continued to work on the side and Trinity Bell went through individual with tight ends, without shoulder pads. Also, I noticed Walker Merrill is no longer wearing a knee brace.

No coach or player availability today. Practice will be held Saturday morning. Josh Heupel and coordinators will all speak next week from Monday-Wednesday.

Yeah….. why don’t we fill our roster full of maryville High school and Alcoa kids? How about Danny Wuerffel’s college stats when it comes to evaluating him for the NFL? Obviously you want someone who was a good player at the lower level but it means little on whether or not he can perform at the next level.

I f'n watched the kid play..he was smooth and extremely accurate with beautiful touch...his numbers were good because he was a great QB...period.

 

[Weezer]

I will give it my best effort. You’ll need to come to Texas…

Why can't you come to Knoxville?

 

[volbeast33]

You’re reaching.

What about Charley High….. he threw for 5,100 yards and 59 touchdowns his senior year. I just don’t think you can take much from high school stats bc there are so many variables involved.

Context..HB played against some of the best HS competition IN THE WHOLE FREAKIN COUNTRY...Charlie High did not...at all..

I think Milton is what he is, he’s going to overthrow some guys, but I feel this offensive staff knows how to marginalize that risk with play calling and moving him around.

Banks and Mitchell. Love it Finally.

 

[TheTimeIsNow]

So we all agree Milton will start?

 

[volbeast33]

Can’t say more than this but JC possibly 1-2 games.

 

[drvenner]

The end of the game was nuts. The refs. . . really, it was just the final extra point kick by Seymour. They got to try it 3 times. Once they said a roughing the kicker, but never saw the kicker get touched. They also said a kick was no good, but it obviously was. Still scratching my head on what happened on those final ep plays.

Replay below. Watch on YouTube, can't embed here.

I watched it just now. Totally phantom roughing the kicker. Nowhere near him, LOL. I think on the penalty the kick was good as you said and then the final one was definitely good. It really breaks my heart that G-P got jobbed.

Brendan Harris is a load. Might be the slowest back in the state but he flat out runs over people.



Wait, no, no it does not. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!


Go Eagles!

I presume you are talking about Jimmy Calloway missing 1-2 games... Hopefully we could get him back for Pitt.

[Orange Studs]

Please put it all together Joe! Tillman is going to have an impact this year I do believe.

 

[Dudley Smith]

Can’t say more than this but JC possibly 1-2 games.

I noticed he was missing from the practice report showing the groups of skill position players. Holiday not in there either.

Some WSU Cougar fans are gonna get a slap in the mouth when they get a good taste of "Game-Day Guarantano". . . it's kinda surprising that his bad performances are seemingly overlooked. Truth is, I hope he gets it right and has a great year, but it seems like he's still making the same bad decisions with the same bad habits.

And also the WR's have dropped a LOT of his extremely catchable passes more then any other QB, that's on the WR's not on Guarantano . . .

But despite that, Guarantano knows how to be STATISTICALLY Awesome IN REAL GAMES IN THE SEC VS THE BEST DEFENSES IN THE NATION, AND BEST DEFENSIVE PLAYERS IN THE NATION.

There is no substitute for that.

If it's close Guarantano should absolutely be the starter

Guarantano will absolutely win 6,7,8,9 games.

Right now Cooper is just barely ahead of Guarantano despite Guarantano's bad scrimmage thanks to the WR's DROPPING ALL OF HIS PASSES.

. . . if it's very close Guarantano will or should be the starter. . .

Guarantano, Cooper are the SAFER choices, less risky choices for being the starting QB, will probably win about 6,7,8,9 games.

Jimmy Calloway or Jerome Carvin
