Atlanta Falcons rookie James Stone has no problem switching hands - ESPN

story on VFL James Stone, never knew he did that

 

[Aesius]

I imagine UGA comes out firing on all cylinders after that embarrassment last weekend. Haven't watched a lot of UK this year, anyone have an idea on who to keep an eye on tomorrow for them?

Their QB Patrick Towles is pretty good. They also have the knock-off brand Jalen Hurd in their RB "Braylon Heard" and another decent athlete in JoJo Kemp. IIRC, Kemp is pretty much the sole reason they beat USC. They couldn't stop him at all.

Glad something good came out of that for James Stone. I remember it being a great source of consternation here on VolNation.

Interesting, but...

...in before "Level of competition, etc."

Edit: I do hope he becomes the "two" punch to Hurd's "one" punch next year. :aggressive:

Wow, huge difference. Is jovon on a crappy team or just not living up to the hype?

Iirc, I read a juco analyst saying Kamara had tougher competition.

 

[Aesius]

Can't wait to see Hurd and Kamara duke it out in practice.

Juco competition has to be better than HS so he should come in better prepared than straight out of HS. He should catch on pretty quickly and be a solid contributor.

That's good to hear. Prepping for the toughest competition... an SEC season! :yes:

"A knock off brand Jalen Hurd". I loved that, +1. They also have a couple of DE's worth mentioning in Dupree and Smith. Both will most likely play on Sundays.

Great input Aesius, thanks!

We passed on Kemp, right? Name seems familiar

 

[InVOLuntary]

Good evening Volnation brothers and sisters (Smokey). Disappointed we don't play tomorrow but I know the respite is needed for the weary warriors.

Good Evening!:hi:

Good morning, you'ns

 

[OldVol49vfl]

Good evening to all you youngsters.

The team needed some R&R and I did too. The OT game last week wore me out (and I was home watching it).

Some have said Robinson is better than Kamara and it's not even close. That's a load of BS. They are both great RBs.

Agreed. I think Kamara is a better fit for Tennessee's offense and also a much better compliment to Hurd.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Agreed. I think Kamara is a better fit for Tennessee's offense and also a much better compliment to Hurd.

Me too. I am not saying Robinson is not a great RB but to say he is hands down better than Kamara? No freaking way.

 

[Aesius]

Agreed. I think Kamara is a better fit for Tennessee's offense and also a much better compliment to Hurd.

Or maybe Hurd will be a complement to Kamara....hmy:

Agreed. Numbers say otherwise.

Haha. The rare EazyTD grammar mistake.

Seriously though, I love the potential of a Hurd/Alvin two headed monster. Kamara is so slippery in the open field and he's versatile as hell. He can catch, he can run inside the tackles, he can bounce it outside and take it to the house and he can line up all over the place.

Imagine Dobbs in the pistol with Hurd behind him. Kamara coming in motion from the slot. North, Malone and Pig also flanked out wide. The possibilities are endless.

That would be shocking. Should be a beast top two backfield.
