Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

Please tell me you're joking....

Still find it strange how much better/smoother our offense seemed to work without Tillman.

Hooker developed an (understandable) reliance on him, specially when games tightened. He fed Hyatt against Bama, but spread it around better…example money time to Bru.

Hmm. . .
Greatest Touchdown Video Ever

I have to agree.

My friend, who is a drummer for a local band, just had twin daughters last night................................











he named them: Anna 1, Anna 2.

I think this is appropriate for this hilarity.

Our expectations have no effect on THEIR performance…so let them fly, I say!

 

[volbeast33]

It's an opinion if we're overrating anybody atp. Time creates facts...one way or the other.

I didn’t know I needed to say that it was an opinion….. I’m obviously not a time traveler…. Some of these proclamations that I have seen….. Jerry Rice couldn’t live up too.

Um, you do realize you have to multiply that number by 100 to reflect the calculation as a percentage?

Tillman wasn’t 100% healthy after the Pitt game so it’s hard to know what it would have looked like if he had ever gotten 100% again.

You drink your own bath water?

You would not believe how much a bottle of my bathwater goes for on my OnlyFans site.

Cept he did…far as we know? Got any Mississippi Valley State fan projection posts circa early 80’s? Whatever they “expected” from him? He OBLITERATED! In the latest VQ podcast, Hubbs recalled a conversation with Garner over Jamal Lewis and his belief that Lewis end up at FULLBACK due to his size. Think Jamal Lewis exceeded expectations as a true freshman?

I followed the season…but thanks.

Even tho he beasted against Pitt and scored the winning TD, that perceived reliance on Tillman could be speculated as a factor in that being an unnecessary barnburner. In our two losses, he was available…no not 100%…but available and Hooker possibly forced the ball to him.

Yes i do realize that. Im just pointing out the fact that technically he was right. He just worded his statement wrong.

 

[InVOLuntary]

nice. not a bourbon guy, honest question.

doesnt aubrey's have that on the shelf?

Aubrey's has a bunch on the shelf. I've had the pappy 15 there among others.

 

[JCVol00]

Did you “expect” Tillman or Hyatt before their respective breakouts?

I feel like if anyone unexpectedly had a breakout season this year it would be Keyton, he has a better chancs than Squirrel and Thorton imo

 

[drvenner]

He is not right at all if he uses the % symbol. He is off by a factor of 100.

 

[Rishvol]

Someone needs a basic mathematics lesson but still impressive.

(That's a 0.75% rate, not 0.008%)

So he forgot to multiply by 100 so what

I think that is an assumption and we are not as efficient when we struggle to run the football….. that is just my opinion of course.

Oh laud. All the technical people up in here be squirmin.

 

[butchna]

And I utilized "possibly"...so aren't we both models of presumptive restraint?

 

[JCVol00]

“Tennessee’s offense was better when Tillman was out last year”

Not necessarily, if you look back at the first two seasons under Heupel, it took our offense around four games to finally hit our stride, in 2021 it was game 5 @ Missouri, and last year was honestly Alabama as we had a lot of hiccups in the Florida game and LSU’s defense was tough and we were gifted good field position for 4 out of our 8 scoring drives. I think Tillman would have only made it more explosive if he was healthy the entire year

I’m talking about Jerry Rice from the NFL….. All Pro… HOF, Jerry Rice…. It got the point that it sounded like fans thought it was a combination of Antonio Brown, Jerry Rice, Megatron, and Bo Jackson after the catch while high stepping like Deion Sanders into the end zone…. I think he will be great but will probably be a little disappointing to fans who have their standards set unrealistically…. I hope he explodes and dominates though.

 

[volbeast33]

That’s why it is a discussion…. All our semi-struggles were usually tied directly to how we ran the football… Teams that held it in check usually had success stopping our running game from chewing up yardage.

 

[volinokc]

Probably not any proclamations(I usually don’t do those)…. I did talk about how dominant Tillman was in practice…. Hyatt was just the obvious choice after Tillman bc his skill set was best to be the leading receiver… I do think Donte will be great… we still overrate the guy with some of the comparisons that I have seen by our fanbase.

Don’t sleep on Keyton. We potentially have 4 receivers who would be the number 1 option on a decent majority of teams this year.
But the way they all compliment one another is what’s so exciting—the entire playbook is open with them.
And I also think Milton is going to shut up a lot of people this year.
