Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXXIV

[chargervol]

I keep reading and can't find that but could be completely missing it. Where'd you get that he's taking all the 1st team snaps?

It was Brown that said this.
It's in Fingers' thread

Coach punching players again?

Speaking of which, is that alleged perv that got punched in the gut serving time?

 

[Glitch]

I said I don't think QD can win the big games for us.....

You've made it abundantly clear....... 🦁🦁🦁🦁

What he said

 

[jave36]

That's the thing, they are inconsistent with who they doubt and who they don't. Right or wrong they are predicting a big drop off for us but saying fla, who lost more than we did, will be dominant in D. Inconsistent

Agree.

 

[mccrackb]

I don't understand the media saying we'll have a huge drop off on offense. We lost Croom, Weisman, Dobbs, Malone, Kamara, Hurd. I liked Croom a lot, very talented, but the fact is he was under used and Jakob(or whoever #2 TE is) should step in and be just as productive. Weisman was hurt for some of last year and imo wouldn't start this year anyways. Dobbs was really good last season no doubt. But whoever starts will put up just as good numbers imo, the question is, how good will the Oline protect them. Malone was beastly, but we have very talented young WR's to replace him. Along with an experienced JJ.
Hurd, LOL. Kamara was amazing but he was greatly under used, and then when he finally did get a chance to start he got hurt and missed 2 games.

Overall I see a small drop off at most, if Jordan and Chandler are as good as talked about then we may see no drop off at all.

Croom probably would have been used more if he could have made more plays. I just remember a lot of bad outcomes when the ball flew his way.

Butler is going to be on the freshman all-SEC team and play a lot, imo

 

[Go Fight Win]

Hell yes

 

[VolGee4]

My life needs Wiggins to begin to impress

Good to see JJ at practice. Apparently not too much bitterness over his son not being recruited hard

He trained Labruzza. So, I knew then that he didn't take it personal.

Thanks.

Ya but Kelly is not proven to be as good as Kamara and hasn't proven he can handle the #1 workload all season, OL wasn't great in pass pro and struggled overall at times, and you're absolutely guessing that our QBs "won't be a bust." QB alone is reason enough to doubt that our offensive production will be worse. Look at all the highly rated QBs Bama has had that didn't pan out. We are not immune to that either. I predict we'll be fine, but you can't fault writers for doubting.

Jk is legit. Period

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

Jk is legit. Period

Nobody doubts that.

The only question with Kelly is if he'll be able to hold up over the course of an entire season as the bellcow.

 

[zhangliao04]

Hell yes

IMO he will. 5'9" 215 lbs, so runs low to the ground and keeps his legs churning. I also think CF-A will do well in a limited capacity to provide that change of pace. But I also think one of Chandler and Jordan will get significant carries, if not both. But likely whichever one shows he can also be a capable blocker when needed. So he shouldn't get overused either.

Have you ever heard of Maurice Jones Drew? Dude lit it up for years in the NFL at 5' 7" 210lbs.

He had 6 games with around 15 carries, and never seemed to get banged up much. He led our RBs in yards and he didn't even really play in 5 games.

Baller

Croom had hands of stone. Couldn't catch a cold, but had knock out power (ask Bruce). VFL though, through and through and I am appreciative.

 

[UTProf]

I must be blind. I still can't find anything on the whole QD thing. The worst part is I feel it's under my nose.

ETA: Finally used word search and found what he was saying. Not sure about the whole center comment since they seem to rotating the snaps both are taking with each center.

The centers are snapping the ball on QD's command

I think he'll probably be fine too. But we haven't seen him carry load for an entire season yet, so it's a question mark until we see how he's holding up in November.

Yeah, but we really only saw him in the back half of the season, so it's hard to tell if he'll be able to keep that kind of performance up over 12-14 games or not.

Have you ever heard of Maurice Jones Drew? Dude lit it up for years in the NFL at 5' 7" 210lbs.

Yes, I know about Jones Drew. And I think Kelly has a great, compact build to withstand a season of being the man at RB.

But there have been lots of guys with similar builds (or even better ones) who wear down over the course of a season, too. Until we see Kelly do that, it's a question mark.

Not in this thread. In the Practice 5 recap thread in the FF by fingers there's a quote by Patrick Brown that definitely makes it seem like QD is leading by a little bit

I don't get to attend many games, so I'm usually a big fan of guys that show up big when I'm there.

Just a few that come to mind... Travis Stevens taking the would-be game winner to the house vs. UGA in 2001 only to have Chavis's defense collapse at the end. Witten's game winner in the 6 OT thriller vs. Arkansas in 2002. And Croom's monster game vs. UK in 2014. I'll be pulling for a Croom.

No doubt. Can't deny his vol card
