Recruiting Forum Football Talk VI

[Fun coupon VOL]

From Cole Cubelic (via @Freak):

When Mincey was in the game, our o-line was much more dominant. I do like the idea of letting Crawford place some body blows then Mincey coming in to finish it off.

I still like biscuits.

MM-HMMM

Nobody hates biscuits

It's the point of a person who goes around saying it unprompted

New jerseys look A LOT better than what I thought they would after the retail version got leaked. Really excited to see them Saturday. I wonder if we are planning on wearing them twice this year, or wearing dark mode twice this year since we are breaking the Smokies out versus austin peay

People overreacting to Milton and game one. The running game was working. There was no need to throw it all over the place. It's by design. You take what the defense is giving you. If the defense lets you run all over them, then that's what Heup is going to do. Milton played a great game. Don't be mad because we weren't pass happy in game 1.

Concerns, maybe unfounded, about our offense.


Last year our offense was built on multiple plays from the same offensive looks creating conflict within the opponents defense. We thrived on picking apart defenses.... Save two games..... Which we lost.

Saturday I didn't see a lot of conflict being created.... We had our way with an inferior opponent..... And that's ok. Just wondering how worried should we be with the departure of key offensive staff?

Might just be keeping the playbook vanilla for week 1. No need to get fancy and show more when you can impose your will. We’ll see the same wrinkles, and new ones, later.

You said like a mental patient, so I gave you Slingblade.

He didn’t say anything right.

That was a small snippet of what he said….. he said he took personal responsibility for the loss two or three times…. Fans are nitpicking and mad bc they lost.

Also, I hear that as a communist, @Jackcrevol does not like biscuits.

Not a concern for me. We didn't need to be complex in this game to win and win big. No need to show so much of your playbook in game 1. We might've executed only 1 or 2 ways from a formation in this game, then against Florida we could show the same look and execute a different way.

Yeah…. I think we kept white and Thornton under wraps for a reason….. didn’t throw a single deep pass to our main two speedsters.

Congratulations, you just decoded sports.

So this weekend we;re supposed to host LB Chris Cole, right? And he's set to commit somewhere, hopefully here, on Sunday?

People forget that this is an offense that's predicated on the run game. The pass game works so well because the offense stretches the field so much from sideline to sideline. LBs and the secondary have to sell to either cover the run, or the mid-deep ball.


If they sell out to prevent the vertical game, we win and you get what we saw Saturday. If they sell out to stop the run, you see us with xbox passing numbers.

You’re about to get picked apart lmao. Pumpers Incoming.. I trust I trust blah blah. Can’t voice concerns here

I have no problem with the OP post about his questions/concerns. What I don't understand is why you think he will be picked apart when people are answering his question. Even if he had stated it as an opinion, instead of a question, why would you feel threatened by people questioning your opinion? The vast majority of people here do trust the staff. Why is that surprising?

 

[drvenner]

I don't think you can judge much from Game 1. And I think we'll be vanilla as possible in Game 2. I think both games are about working out kinks here and there, and giving opposing teams looks at other parts of our game. I think it'll be Florida before we really start to see what we have on offense. And I don't think the departure of Golesh is going to hurt us. Halzle is more than capable with the guidance of Heupel.

How dare you pick that poster apart with your response. You ain't nothing but a pumper.

That’s the plan from what I’ve gathered

 

[SSVol]

Be concerned when there is a reason to be. VA is a solid defense and pass defense was their strength last year. They chose their poison this year and we gave it to them. They are currently ranked almost last due to our concerning offensive performance, but I predict they'll be ranked much higher as the season continues.

Hooker looked pretty meh early last year and we know how that turned out. Give it a minute.
