Who in here was shoveling dirt on Big Ben Roth earlier this season?

 

[RiotVol]

So, I'm in Morocco, and I'm kind of getting a taste of what @nicksjuzunk goes through by being on the other side of the world. You refresh volnation and see almost no activity for hours, and then check back after the eastern US wakes up and find you're 10 pages behind all of a sudden.

Lol

I’m here with ya

 

[drvenner]

lol. Do they win 2 conference games in the SEC? Questionable.

According to some on here, since they're the third best team in the ACC, they would likely be competing for the East this year.

 

[drvenner]

Still in a state of depression due to us not getting Dave Doeren. What a tremendous coach.

He would probably have been the third worst guy we could have hired after Schiano and Steele.

Larry Elder, a talk radio guy from Los Angeles, calls it the Elvis factor. A few years ago, a poll came out showing that something like 12% of Americans believed Elvis was still alive, and 8% believed that he'd get a letter if you sent it to him.

Because of people like that, you can never get above 85-90% approval on anything. Wanting to fire a HC or OC only part way through their first season after taking over from an historically bad season is goofy, but not everyone is reasonable. Just ask Elvis.

Those people drive cars and vote also...

Are you implying that Elvis DOESN'T get my letters?

NC state are some frauds

The whole ACC is. Clemson playing a UCF schedule this year.

I know I posted that Tomlin was done. Wow was I wrong. They look like the SB winner to now

Do you trust Pittsburgh going into New England or knocking off Kansas City?

KC for sure. They always choke. Now NE is a toss up

There were at least a couple saying Dobbs was better

Would have been fired in three years, maybe four. Currie knew he probably wouldn't work, just wanted to get it over with.

Lmao. Love Dobbs but Roethlisberger is good and has been good for a very long time.

War room war room war room

Any team news from it or just wanting to say it 3 times like candyman?

 

[m1al]

For some reason I've been getting them. I'm going to have to respectfully request you stop sending them.. I mean a letter every day is a bit much, don't you think?

Clemson is legit, but they play clowns. They’ll get their shot and get mowed down by Bama

OL

So the Vols are expected to go with Marcus Tatum, who remains a bit dinged up, and Drew Richmond at tackle with Ryan Johnson at center and Jamir Johnson and Nathan Niehaus at left and right guard, respectively. Jerome Carvin continues to struggle on the practice field and hasn't been able to work his way back to the field.

Obviously, the offensive front has real challenge ahead of them — and that also includes the tight ends. A week ago, the biggest issue was simply missed assignments. That's been the focal point this week and the hope is that the offense carries it to the game field on Saturday. Remember, Pruitt has said this team has practiced well the last few weeks including Charlotte week. But offensively, it didn't carry over to the game.

Creating depth

The extra youth work continues on the practice field as well, with 20-30 minutes of extra fundamental work on Monday's with the scout team guys, a few second team guys, and even a few starters. On Tuesdays, Pruitt puts the ball down and the scout team guys scrimmage for 20-30 minutes or so. Tennessee has been doing it for 2-3 weeks now and will continue the rest of the season.

Safeties

Abernathy has practiced all week and there has been growing encouragement with the possibility of him being available to play as the week has progressed. A final decision on the senior’s availability will be made on Saturday but all signs point to Abernathy’s return. Trevon Flowers has taken no contact this week but has practiced for a second straight week. Before returning to contact work, Flowers' collarbone must pass a final density test to show if it's healed enough

DL

Look for Tracy Rocker to continue to rep freshman John Mincey and Emmitt Gooden on the defensive line. Both have been getting more and more work on the practice field and Gooden is becoming the swing guy, working really at all positions on the defensive line including defensive end in an effort to get more size and four true defensive linemen on the field.

Yea but with Mahomes they can score 40 anytime it feels like. Even though they lost, the way they played at New England showed me they are legit.

Plus Eric Berry should be back to help their defense along w Houston. They'll be legit if they can make a difference.

 

[chavisut]

Outside of LSU, Bama ain’t played nobody.

This isn’t your big brother’s SEC.

I don’t think Clemson gets mowed down either but you can’t gloss over domination of LSU on their own turf.... even if that’s just what they do year in year out. Still counts.

Andy Reid's butt puckers up in the playoffs like no other.
