Recruiting Forum Football Talk [RIP 9.3.2019]

[volatil]

I knew today was going to be trash when my blue tick took a dump on my front porch this morning.

Then our favorite team took a huge one on our favorite field

 

[loosedog]

Army would run for 400 yards on us.

FYP - 500 yds

Could not be printed anyways.

I agree about the cross training. That being said I think it is done more out of necessity to mask deficiencies and depth issues. Many times I felt the defensive lineman were in positions to make plays they just couldn’t. How many times did we think we were gonna sack their QB to lose containment and him scramble for 7 or 8 yards? How many times did their offensive lineman push our defensive lineman backwards and their RB’s fall forward for 2 or 3 more yards?

Butch managed 3 winning seasons, 2 of which were 9 wins. Not saying he was a great HC, but obviously he had some talent here. That's an old tired excuse. This is Year 2 and they've had 2 full off-seasons now, Mack Brown took a 2 win team and beat South Carolina opening night in his first time returning...and UNC didn't have back to back top 20 recruiting classes.

CJP has no excuses for losing that game, none. Absolutely no way in hell is Georgia State playing with a better roster. Defense looked lost, and unmotivated. JG pulled another JG game, the offense at least looked like it has paid attention during practice.

30 points isn't exactly amazing, but against Georgia State it should be more than enough...I mean wtf happened? JG is obviously not got "it" as a QB. Most the sacks this game were solely on JG holding the ball too damn long or not being able to read obvious blitz. One blitz Gray didn't pick up well, but JG was staring the guy down how in the hell did he not see it coming?

 

[volatil]

I'd laugh but I'm dead inside

Been waiting on that avi

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Only had 3.8 floz of booze. Not bad

Hope for your sake it was everclear.

 

[85SugarVol]

Anybody who thought this was a 5-7 team is at 4-8 or 3-9 now. Nobody predicted a L here. The Vols were favored by 25 points against a team that had never beaten a P5 team. And they lost by 8 points-- and it could've been even uglier.

What’s the mood inside right now?

 

[Big Sun]

7-5. But hopefully 8-4. GBO. I'm optimistic.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I’m not watching anymore. I can do so much other **** with my time that’s infinitely more worthwhile than watching this pathetic program. I’ll check back in when we hire a real coach. Peace

See ya next Saturday bro

 

[darkgable]

Josh Dobbs couldn't hit the broadside of a barn but if that brotha was down 8 to Southern he would have gone up and down that sideline hollering. He would have went on that field and willed that team to a victory if it killed him. That's called leadership.

 

[LA Vol]

So what’s the temperature? PTB still trusting the process?

I can't imagine anybody feels good about spending unprecedented millions for this. We need to beat BYU.

 

[OrangenSC]

Maybe Muschamp will get a hot seat, that would makee pretty happy.

Actually, I would love to see him stay there. They'll never amount to much with him there. OTOH, if they go our route and fire coaches every few years the same will happen, so win-win either way.

 

[TheMagnificantOne]

Defense looks the same as end of last year

 

[VolGee4]

There is nothing about his response that gives me any hope for the future. It's high schoolish. He's not watching the same game I am. He thinks the players were ready to play The coaches knew the schedule, they had film on Georgia State. It was the same O as last season. They played the same D scheme. What exactly was he looking at that just made it so difficult for his talented players to compete against that mighty opponent? What O-line techniques and blocking schemes just blew our poor little guys' minds on how to line up, much less beat a Georgia State lineman and make a tackle at or behind the line? An unbalanced look? Like that's never happened before in all football history.

Wish I hadn't read that.

Nah, glad I know. Thanks for posting.

To be fair, there is nothing that he says that makes anyone feel better. Just isn’t.

He’s playing a whole new DL, a freshman LB, and a freshman CB. I don’t know enough about scheme to know about a formation causing problems.

We know Pruitt schematically knows the game. That hasn’t changed. You just hope he can get these players to improve.

 

[Aesius]

I almost feel like the program legitimately needs to be shuttered for a year or two, UAB style, and then just start completely over. Wipe the slate clean. Recruit all new players.

Not saying it's all on the players. But something has to change. Drastic moves need to be made.

 

[McGeesPub]

Pruitt needs to take over the defense immediately.

He certainly doesn’t seem to be very good at picking DCs.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Interesting. Defensive troubles were all because we couldn’t figure out how their tight end was lining up.

It’s going to be a long season fellas.

The defensive line was lined up all over the place. The DE were crashing down all game. It was a clusterf***

Maybe knock the stadium down? I don’t know.

Well said. I agree completely. It clearly shows what a true head coach can do. Not saying Pruitt can't get there, but he's no Mack Brown by a long shot.

 

[Orangeredblooded]

Pruitt ain't going anywhere

You’re not a negavol, you’re catbone. Totally different.

 

[darkgable]

If Derrick Barnett was playing on this team would he have just sat down and not say squat. He'd step his game up and make a play and fire that damn defense up. Leadership. You either have it or you dont. Call JG a leader if you want to.

 

[volatil]

Ref in this Auburn game loves that whistle

 

[Big Sun]

Any analysis on this shitfest??

 

[nicksjuzunk]

 

[vol4eva]

When you think it can't get any worse it always does. I fully expect an 0-12 season incoming and a bombshell report of Pruitt and co. paying recruits and the NCAA to drop the death penalty on us.
