Purdue secondary coach throws shade at Tennessee Vols QB Hendon Hooker

I mean...was he really throwing shade? Or just presenting analytics and Zach Ragan (article writer) the one who is trying to turn it into throwing shade?

 

[Bruce Wayne]

says all that talk about 3rd and 4th round money was just that. its always been about the league

And he’s not going in the 3rd or 4th round either

Purdue secondary coach throws shade at Tennessee Vols QB Hendon Hooker

Yeah he's a total liability...



Couldn't find deep ball accuracy, but 40% seems pretty damn good to me. If that isn't good, what is? Anyone completing 80% of 20+ yard passes should never lose a game.

This is the truth.

People are looking back on this with the knowledge of what Garner would eventually become. Fulmer had no idea at the time. No one else didn’t either.

And AT THE TIME Garner had a ways to go. We have a modern analogy. This is the equivalent of replacing experienced, more than solid Kevin Sherrer with the hot recruiting TE’s coach.

I had a blockage. Basically one of the long cords digesting food got tangled and stopped working. So they had to go in and untangle it and let it come back. Still at the hospital with a tube from my nose to my stomach which really sucks. But feel well other than that. Thanks for asking!

Prayers…. That is very dangerous when you have any kind of blockage like that.

he just sounds like an old school coach to me

he also sounds like they're expecting to go down 14+ early lol


they did ask the coach about Hooker specifically, and he said "well, it's really about the run game" and then talked about our RBs.

then they make him talk about the QB specifically at around 4:15 and it does sound like he's crediting the system more than the QB, then jumps right back to "it's REALLY about the run game"

I watched it. HE was not throwing shade. Analytics. I almost regret it every time I click on one of his articles.

fair. But it’s not like he hasn’t been a threat all year past 10 yards.connecting on over half of those that I can recall.Hooker has made a lot of big plays past 10 yards

 

[UTMVol76]

It was clickbait. His points were sound and he was very complimentary of our offense.

 

[BigSteve09]

I don't expect Vol Twitter to have an educated conversation about this, so get ready for "THEY DISRESPECTED HOOKER" to be the thing leading up to kickoff, I'd imagine

 

[SmokinBob]

Volnation,

Say a big prayer for ya boy Smyrna. Woke up in the night with terrible stomach pain and now I’m looking at surgery later today.

Much Love Friends!

Hugs - how’re you doing?

Good. We want to win right? Hell Saban makes up quotes about his team and credits the quote to "The media". You have bama players saying that they feel like the underdog despite being 13.5 point favorites.

 

[Orange.]

could be a downgrade

Still pissed the SEC refs blatantly stole the Ole Piss game from us because Piss had a shot at NY6 TV money for the league.

That's how you change a guy from rooting for everyone in the conference to rooting against everyone but us.

 

[scienceteaching_vol]

Nothing says its time to workout like Vols Pajama pants! I'm turning into my old man. Ha.

 

[MoCo_Vol]

Yeah, I listened to it as well. I felt like he was saying that they had to try and keep Hendo from hitting so well on the short passes. And was almost like him saying "we'd rather take our chances on the 40% deep ball"

Course I feel like Purdue's defensive numbers look better cause of playing in a slow ass Big 10 and also playing ball control. Their defense only averaged defending 62 plays a game and still gave up 340+ total yards (5.5 yards per play average) our defense was only giving up 5.2 yards per play and was on the field for 77.5 a game.

So really he's just saying they need to cause incompletions in the short passing game to generate more 3 & outs. Which isn't throwing shade at all, it's what their game plan has to be. What I'm hopeful for is us being able to run the ball effectively on them early & often. On paper they look good with how few yards per game they give up, but they gave up over 4 yards a carry. Our defense again was better there too.

 

[butchna]

Not a big surprise but would have been nice. What does this say about him going pro?

Doesn’t help his scouting report but most likely doesn’t tip his decision one way or the other.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Hugs - how’re you doing?

Good! Much better since the surgery. Just sucks being here by myself and no one can visit.

 

[reVOLution33]

I am looking for a Suzuki x90, bout a 98 model if y'all know of one.

That's all I've got for you lol

 

[drvenner]

Thought I’d peek in for some recruiting/football talk, quickly realized I was in the off topic forum.

This is the best place for recruiting information. Each player has his own thread. If you have some news to add, please do. Otherwise, sit back and enjoy the conversation.

 

[Weezer]

Rumors are that his teammates are trying to coax Cade into coming back. That's why I still think there's a chance he does. If he does go pro, then we need to look at the portal for another OL IMO.

 

[BigSteve09]

He is 28. Making 350k. He's gonna love Oxford.

 

[VolMike16]

Yeah he's a total liability...

I may be wrong here but I think @I4Jay said earlier this year that Heupel and crew set a target of 40% on those throws at UCF. Sure looks like Hooker is doing what they are asking to me.

 

[drvenner]

Good. One less person I have to deal with in the drive thru.

That line is still going to wrap around the restaurant three times.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Just put some money on the UT vs Bama game tonight. Took UT Moneyline at +135.

 

[Nash_Vol97]

That line is still going to wrap around the restaurant three times.

And it still will only take me 5 minutes to get through that line and get my food. Well oiled machine.
