Recruiting Forum Football Talk V

[tnhunter 10]

Atlanta sports talk was interesting just now. They’re saying that UGA at #3 and Erik Ainge’s tweet about Sanford not being loud is rat poison and just what Smart needs to motivate the team. No one has played TN like UGA will as they plan to put pressure on our WRs to slow them down. It’s also the biggest recruiting weekend in UGA history so they want to impress the visitors.

However, his final statement was about tickets. The 3rd party brokerage told him that in the past week a major push for expensive tickets took place and that all of the IP addresses for the buyers were Nashville, Knoxville, and Chattanooga. He expects the Vols could bring up to 20k people so be ready for orange.

If GA wasn't motivated before Ange made a tweet or "disrespect" from the playoff committee then something is wrong with that team.

I like that Alontae is hyping Hooker. And it's more than 1 season worth of results

2021 Final ratings:
13th in Passing % (68.0)
37th in Passing Yards (2945)
4th in Yards/Attempt (9.7)
12th in Passing TDs (31)
5th in Fewest INTs (3)
3rd in Rating (181.4)
12th in QB Rushing Yds (616)


He was top 15 in every single major QB category except total passing yards...and that's with him only playing in 11.5 games.

When's the last time our defense, especially the secondary was this healthy. didn't we have like 5 DBs out by the 2nd half against bama and are just now getting them back? Other than Burrell.

We were playing walkons. . .

Yeah man, your anecdotal evidence is definitely more accurate than the in stadium decibel meters for sure.

She wasn’t quoting song lyrics but what she said wasn’t malicious. She was in high school, said something she shouldn’t have but there was no harmful intent. Apologize and move. Shouldn’t have lost her job over an almost decade old tweet.

Ok. I had heard song lyrics. If it wasn't malicious then she should apologize, and I agree she shouldn't have lost her job. SM is a cruel mistress.

I wish I could reply to people without the cursor jumping around . Makes joining the fun way too much work.

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

What’s funny is every team thinks we get lucky. That they just happened to bust a coverage.

But that’s by design.

That is what kills me...these "busted coverages" are not flukes..they are planned and executed at a higher level than a guillotine operator during the French Revolution.

This is why it will be important for HH to get about 60 yards rushing. UGA will try to hammer the wr so they can use safeties in the box. Also why a wheel route from Fant or Small will be a big gainer. We will probably see more stacked formations to make it an easy release on the outside too. At the end of the day their defense is at the bottom of the league in sacks and tfl, that bodes well for our offense

pump and go WR screens will work also. Let them load the box middle wide open

I thought it was going to be hard for him to surpass last year's results. I hoped, in the preseason, that he would at least just match last year's performance. He deserves the Heisman at this point.

So you never seen the tweet ? I did and she was quoting a song lyric. She had no reason to apologize. Screw this WOKENESS crap

Don't think it's got anything to do with WOKENESS. Private companies in an at-will work state have the ability to hire and fire as they see fit. I'm not a political person, but I do value accountability that goes both ways.

I disagree with her being fired over decade old tweets, but I also feel the company did nothing wrong as well.

For all my ATL folks..what's the best Vol establishment to watch the game at?

I'd just quit posting pig boy. It's just giving him publicity. No one knows him or cares about his swinish slop

The people that fired her needs to go back in their teenage years and repent for the things they said or did. Its all apart of this woke stuff. Its happening everyday to someone.

We #1 in the UNIVERSE about to play the defending champs and yall still talking about that dumb chick that lost her job. Get the Funderberg outta here with that crap!

How will Kansas recover?

What a fing joke? Self is so corrupt and has been and they do nothing.

The house

No J/k Lost dog tavern always has a large amount of UT alum and fans watching the game.

FANVOTE: Which receiver should win the Biletnikoff Award in 2022? « Biletnikoff Award

Does this vote mean anything?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

I know right. I have actually lurked for a lot longer than it says on my account. I've been around since roganberry's and vaguely remember the hat's too big bro.

Wow..that's ol skoo VN. I first found VN back around 2005 or 6, but I didn't visit regularly until 08, and I didn't actually join until 09. And then it was a long time before I started posting a lot.

Kirby Smart has such a punchable face.

I think what people aren't talking about enough is that Georgia hasn't faced a defense as good as ours this season. And the closest to us they faced was Missouri who held them to 26 points.

Now I don't think our defense will hold Georgia to 6 like they did Kentucky or hold them to 13 like they did LSU. But I sure as hell don't think Georgia can hang up 49 like Bama did either. And the other two games where we gave up 25 or more happened in September.

So really there is a lot of pressure on Georgia, 1 can you hold the #1 scoring offense in college to 30 or less points? and 2 can you score 30 or more on the #26 scoring defense in the country that is also the 9th best rushing defense in yards allowed per game?

And also...the defense only played 63 snaps against Kentucky, so it's not likely they'll be worn down.

I was looking at this last night actually. UT is #1 in scoring offense, UGA is #6. So pretty comparable offensive scoring on paper at least (They aren’t really because of who we have played vs who they have played).

Next, if you look at defenses that each offense has faced compared to the defense they are about to face.. these are the comps and numbers.

The closest defense we have faced to UGA this year is Bama. They are actually very close in numbers and Bama has played better offenses and teams than UGA (Including us). All we did was average 8.1 Yards per play, 70 plays, 52 points at a .74 points per play average.

The closest defense that UGA has faced to this point that looks like ours is Missouri. Missouri has a much better Total Defense than ours but scoring defense we are .5 points better. Against Missouri, UGA averaged 6.1 Yards per play, 79 plays, 26 points at a .32 points per play average.

Looking at that, my take is the best defense we have faced this year which is on par with UGA, we still scored at will on. The best defense they have played all year which is on par with ours, they struggled bad. Almost lost.

If our offense continues to perform at a high rate against their *clears throat* slightly overrated defense, then our defense will be in a good position to slow down their offense enough to win this game. Heck, maybe even comfortably.

Have you seen any evidence that her tweets or any other actions of hers that would point to her being a racist person? The court of public opinion loves to convict on hearsay evidence and speculation. If an apology was warranted then it has been issued. I still don't think she should have lost her job.

Not arguing her intent. She certainly doesn’t seem racist but idk her.

Still can’t use that word recreationally and there not be consequences.

I think if I was the business owner I would also be inclined to let her go. That’s a smart business move, especially in her profession. But I think as a person/employee I wouldn’t want that to be something that got me fired. But more than all of that, I am happy I never tweeted the N word. That whole stupid games / stupid prizes thing.
