Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

[drvenner]

Exactly. Because we all know that coaching staffs never get it wrong

Of course they get it wrong. Does not mean that he is getting it wrong this time. Does not mean that you are right this time, either. You are free to criticize all you want, but Ima keep riding with Heup for now.

Milton is perfect on a gymnastics scale

Taking my eight year old to his first game Saturday. Best place to park? Seriously I haven't been to a game in person since I had kids. And what time does the vol walk start?

You will probably be able to park in front of the Neyland statue.

What’s the deal with Beckwith? Haven’t seen much and I remember hearing good things from camp.

Someone asked this on the VQ podcast today, and they said he just hasn’t even good enough to get on the field. Same for Aubrey Solomon, which is an incredible fall for a former 5 star.

You forgot the inevitable "we could have had [Kiffin/Freeze/Campbell/Gruden], but [UT Admin/Chancellor/President/AD/janitorial staff] doesn't care about football" posts.

That’s for after the Ole Miss game. We have to pace ourselves if we are going to go the distance

 

[nicksjuzunk]

Busy out the wazzoo right now. I’m thinking tonight I can give you what you want…

Incredibly disappointing on both counts

I've literally never said he was wrong.

People are so sensitive in this thread.

 

[butchna]

I’m really not sure what you are talking about lol. What quote from 15 minutes ago? Is it on a player thread? I haven’t been in those in a while.

And all I was saying is we need a few QBs this class as I bet two are gone next year and we are left with one QB and all newcomers. All speculation of course.

Wasn’t addressing YOU with that. Since you don’t follow recruiting, I’ll just say face of the program type QBs have options. You try to add 3 other guys in the class and they may exercise them.

You did not say he was wrong. You did say coaches get it wrong when we were talking about his reluctance to play Bailey. I am not sensitive and I am a homer, like you and, like you, I just want to win.

went ahead and bought a surface pro 7

Sheesh.

Yes. Fans are allowed to discuss their opinions. They are allowed to say, you know, I wonder if Bailey would do better throwing the ball than Hooker. That doesn't mean that I think Heup is wrong or doesn't know what he's doing. Goodness.

It is certainly possible what they see in practice doesn't translate to the game. One only needs to look at JG to see that. Coaches can and do get it wrong. Last year, Dorkowitz was wrong starting that other QB before the guy they're starting now. Mullen started Franks above Trask. It happens all the time.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Sheesh.

Wow

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Two weeks, and this place are going to be crazy. After we beat Tennessee Tech 70 to 0 and Alabama destroys Florida by 28 everyone’s gonna be convinced we’re gonna roll into Gainesville for the win next week.

after our inevitable loss to Florida, this place is going to be ready to burn it to the ground, fire the quarterbacks, fire the staff, and set fire to the couch

gonna be fun to watch it in real time

I think most people here know we are going to lose to UF. They are a top SEC team. Pitt is not a special team and we imploded with multiple questionable decisions. Pitt was beatable and we couldn’t finish it

Orrrrr …. we put it all together, get a few turnovers, and pull off the upset.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Wow

Hard to interpret though just two games in. These stats are pretty meaningless until about halfway through

"Fun"

 

[therickbol]

Yes, they do.

My point is that these coaches spend every waking second immersed in football. They spend all their time with these players and trainers and coaches and staff. For decades. Doesn’t it make sense that they have a much better idea of who the starting players should be than you or me? I’m sure they’re well aware of Miltons issues and are working tirelessly to fix them. And if there were a better QB option they would take it.

Most of us have never watched a single live snap in practice or sat in a film room for a second or even touched the grass in Neyland. Yet we offer opinions daily on who should and shouldn’t play. That doesn’t seem silly to you?

Maybe we should just sit back, relax, enjoy the games and let Heupel rebuild the program.

This makes so much sense. So simple. But people must CANNOT grasp it. They say well what about that one time a coach was wrong and I was right....hmmmm, what about that. Seems like I might have a better idea than they. It's idiotic.

I don't think it is meaningless that our starting QB is tied for most sacks taken in the league through 2 games against non-SEC opponents. I call that concerning.

Some of that has been him holding the ball forever, but yes, it is concerning

Top 10 baby

If you ain’t last, you’re first!

No one is saying that.

This is message board where we discuss our football opinions. If you want to just sit around and saying nothing but "Heupel's got this guys" Freak would be out of business.

 

[KB5252]

Those stats don't bode well for conference play. This offensive line has to get it together.

Asks for advice.

Gets good advice.

Disregards the good advice.

Regrets decision almost immediately.
