Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[MrVolton]

TN lost by 7 to a good team with an experienced QB while having several starters out in game 2 of a year 1 coach and that means Tn football is dead. Got it.

TN football had been dead, we’re still just waiting on somebody to resuscitate.

 

[C-town Vol]

I think our 1st team defense is solid. I wouldn’t say good but the are close. We need depth plain and simple. When you are thin at positions, you play guys too much or have a drop off when the 2nd string comes in. That’s why you would see us look really good at times and no pass rush other times. They are tired or inexperienced…or both.

I feel our biggest needs are as follows:

A legit “franchise QB”
More dynamic D-linemen
More depth on OL
A couple of dudes at WR

 

[Kingston Vol]

I think some of yall are calling Pit good, because you wont admit how bad TN actually is

Pitt is good in the exact way to take advantage of us. Physicality and experience.

I think Missouri and Kentucky will be similar games.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Nothing new lol

After reading for the last hour or so, I’d lay low kid, unless you’re trying to live up to the troll moniker that’s been bestowed on you on many occasions. I’d would just be sad at this point.

Who are you guys talking to?

I went 0-3 today. Vols, Colorado, and Georgia Southern all lost. Football is dumb.

He has to stay on top of that. Only way to keep your ammonia levels regulated is the lactulose. I learned that the hard way. Don't put it on yourself. He has to be responsible for his meds. He knows he needs to take it. I know it tastes god-awful, and its effects are not fun, but he has to force himself to keep up with it.

He's too sick to take care of it himself. Mobility is an issue even when his amonia is down. He's very good about taking it even though I know it tastes terrible.

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

I told Jack Burton before the game we were about equal with Pitt. Nothing I saw changed my mind.

When you're equal levels the difference in winning & losing comes down to who makes less mistakes. They did and they won.


I will say that the new defensive staff has thus far impressed me. Especially the LB coaches. Imagine how good that group would look with some 4/5 stars back there. Banks is a converted RB, Mitchell, Page, & Beasley are 3 star guys that probably don't see the field at most SEC schools except on special teams. But they are competitive as hell.

I agree and we are a defense by committee once we have more depth we’ll be alright

Uk maybe. Mizzou idk what to think, theyre still only in year 2, although they have been stable as a program.

Pitt is a solid football team. They have several players that will be in the NFL including their QB which gives you shot vs anyone when you have that.

We need a QB. I love how our D is playing. After 3 years of College football Milton hasn't improved a lick on accuracy.

Haha “they are still only in year 2” but you have been saying nothing but negative stuff towards this team and they have only played 2 GAMES.

I thin WR is ok. Someone has to get the ball to them. TE played well today also.

Colorado deserved to win that game whipped A/M ‘s ass just didn’t score the points.

Milton is an physical freak athlete not a football player

I thought he would be more physical.

Yeah, as far as matchup and experience not sure how far ahead MZZOU is, UK isnt good, but they have a lot of experience over us. Everything ive said is true about this team

 

[Ten_Titans]

No one can tell me Hooker didn't outplay Milton today.

Two really bad plays... And about a dozen routine plays and really good plays Milton would have never made.

Really calls into question the "Trust the cosching staff" like of reasoning. I don't know if all our WRs lose 30% of their practice speed in games, or if the air over the practice field is denser than it is in Neyland, but even if the reports of him killing it in practice are true, he clearly can't be trusted to translate that to games.

For now, I think you have to roll with Hooker. HB might be better than him in the passing game. But with how undisciplined we looked on offense, we are going to need Hooker's eraser ability with his legs.

 

[Orange Studs]

We have Milton for 3 years

He keeps playing like today he will be riding the pine for those 3 years. lol

I am sad. And frustrated that everything possible went wrong after the first QR

It does taste terrible, and I can relate to the mobility issues, but I learned to keep a bottle close by to take it when I needed it. It's a sucky situation to be in, I know I hated it, but you do what you have to do.

A legit “franchise QB”
More dynamic D-linemen
More depth on OL
A couple of dudes at WR

1. A legit “franchise QB”
2. A deeper and more talented OL
3. A deeper and more talented DL
4. A deeper and more talented LB corps
5. At least one dynamic TE (because based on video I’ve watched, those guys can really EAT in Huepel’s offense)

Our offensive skill guys and DB’s are serviceable.
