Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[85SugarVol]

My fear this whole year will be our DL being gassed by the 4th.

Really, really, really need some unexpected depth guys to step up this season.

Or find a way to sustain long methodical drives on offense that keeps the DL resting on the sideline?

It’s game week and y’all are having a pissing contest about Jalen ****ing Hurts. WHO GIVES A RATS ASS

 

[JacketVol]

Innacuracy leads to INTs. He threw 1 in 14.5 games last year and completed 62% of his passes.

He throws them in the dirt. He can’t hit anyone. He’s awful. Look up Matt Ryan in super bowl year. You got to throw downfield to keep them honest. Brees does but hurts doesn’t.

Does anyone know if the game is going to be a sell-out?

Just his own receivers at a 62% clip, which is good for 4th out of 14 QBs in the conference.

Doyle is our punter right

SIAP

lM WITH YOU LETS WTFA TOO

Worley would have been fine in a different system

What system is that? Spurrier did not consider him to be worthy of recruiting and he was in state.

 

[Glitch]

Yeah, but you don’t count, because you are so old! Lol! What’s up, buddy? We still going to try to do a game this year?

I am actually going to be able to make it to the Florida game if you morans are going to be around for that one.

Ive been to the last 2 games in Gainesville, I think ima sit this one out for the good of the Univeristy of Tennessee.

Those were brutal

 

[crazyguy]

Hank is fighting the good fight on this one- you guys aren’t giving Hurts a fair shake.

 

[WinginFlorida]

Yass.

In all seriousness, I do tend to oversimplify topics like this when outside of academia. There's no need for a long version on here since it's an off-topic tangent that only a few people are interested in. If you're really interested in how race as a concept was constructed I can probably come up with a reading list for you.



It's the American way. I'm glad you're a true American.

 

[SmokinBob]

My oldest just turned 13. We went shoe shopping and he's wearing the same size shoe that I am now. (10.5 Wide) That blew me away. They grow up so fast. Glad I got 4 others coming after him. One of the truest parenting statements I ever heard: "The days are long, but the years are short."

 

[millst987]

I’m excited to see these young dbs with some Pruitt coaching!

 

[jakez4ut]

I really wish we could just land an elite QB. I mean USC has a kid starting who should still be in HS.

2020.

 

[Sleegro]

My whole point was Tua is that good. He’s by far the best qb saban has had at bama. It’s not close. That doesn’t mean hurts is that bad it’s just he is getting beat out by an elite QBs prospect. There’s no shame in that.

Nathan peterman got beat out by Dobbs. That doesn’t mean peterman was trash.

It just baffles me that posters on here act like hurts shouldn’t even be a D1 QB lol. It’s insane.

Pretty sure I never said anything negative about hurts. I said he was a game manager who would probably want to move to rb if he wanted to go to the NFL. Thats not negative, just a pretty widely held scouting report on him. I never said he shouldn't play qb for a big time college program. You asked if I would want him on Tennessee. Just because I said no doesn't mean I think he's trash. You made that leap. I just prefer what we have for the offense I believe the coaches want to have. And as I said from the get go, I think we should see what we have system and personnel wise before we start beating the drum for another rental. You accused me before of being a fan boy for jg, which is fine, but at least I'm a fan boy of players on Tennessee and not guys who get beat out on other teams.

Getting some INTs will be a nice change.

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

As we move into game week it looks like guys are zeroing in on specific. No surprises from what we’ve seen with Trey Smith and Drew Richmond at the left and right tackle spots, Jamir Johnson and Ryan Johnson at left and right guard and Brandon Kennedy seemingly entrenched at center. That’s how things have looked for the last week or so and that seems likely to be how Tennessee will open on Saturday.

Guys like Jerome Carvin, Chance Hall, K’Rojhn Calbert and Marcus Tatum continued to be repped hard so don’t be surprised to see the Vols play more than five up front as Pruitt has hinted.

One big focus for the tight ends as Saturday approaches looks to be making sure they’re physical in the run game. Lots of emphasis on that area on Tuesday afternoon as it was in the early work on Monday.

At receiver Jajuan Jennings looks like he’s finishing camp on a high note after being slowed earlier with some nicks and bruises.

Defensively, the individual work for the linebackers remained tackling which has been a heavy point of emphasis all camp. Linebacker Darrin Kirkland, Jr. continues to practice but is managed through the individual work.

Up front on the defensive line is was all about getting off blocks and pad leverage a daily staple for Tracy Rocker's group. Rocker set the tone early (like rep one), telling one of this lineman, “there you go, I see you don't want to get better today.”

In the secondary, Jeremy Pruitt had his corners in heavy ball skill work as did Charles Kelly with his safeties. Obviously, West Virginia will put the ball in the air a lot and on Monday Pruitt spoke about the need to eliminate the big plays and take the ball away defensively.

Hubbs

 

[Smokey123]

Hurts completes 33.3 percent of passes more than 20 yards down the field. (19-57)

For reference

Sam Darnold completes 37% of passes more than 20 yards downfield. (35-94).

Hurts moves up to 38.5% (about average in the SEC) when you take away drops. But he also attempts 20+ yard passes less than other QB’s

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

You didn't answer the questions.

 

[RikidyBones]

one thing that WVU will have a hard time with is our run game off the edge. especially on Jennings side. Jennings can be unleashed in this game and be an absolute monster blocking. wearing his man down with physicality and rechannel that sluggo route for an emphatic cap to a drive.

 

[Glitch]

Held out for awhile.
