Recruiting Forum: Official Alabama Pre-Game/Game Thread

Should they be slow though? Thought we had recruited so much speed.

Some is backups having to think and react instead of just playing with instinct. The only players I can think of on the back seven that seem to be a true speed liability are Jumper and TKJr.

 

[GoBigOrange86]

Still love my Vols. I'm so disappointed with such a poor showing, but the Big Orange have my support through it all.

 

[chavisut]

No team has 3rd and 4th string guys who can fight toe to toe with Bama. They have 5*s in their 3 deep

So is our tri-star class good or naw?

 

[csprig9]

Thank God that s*** is over son of a b**** hopefully we win out we should, I just never expected us to get our asses kicked that bad ever again and yeah those Stars next to players names and recruiting do matter we need some more I hate the fact that Butch Jones hired Mike debord is our offense of coordinator he sucks really hope we get healthy this week and see what kind of Defense we have with everybody healthy still can't smoke in a damn cigars and f*** Alabama

If we run the table and end up in the top 10, are we better off not winning the East for recruiting. More than likely sugar or citrus bowl and a top 10 ranking.

Don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting I don't want a show at playing for the SEC title

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Man y'all turn so fast. When we play great and have the exciting comebacks Butch is awesome. But a bad game when we are down a bunch of players against the number one team and all of a sudden butch is Dooley jr.

Yes today was terrible. Let's move on, get healthy, cheer for Florida opponents, and wait for our second shot at these guys.

I saw it coming and was called a loser. I am not the one quitting on the team. This is a good team that is beat to a pulp right now. If we get these buttholes again in the SEC champ. I think it will be different. The guys damning the staff and the team right now are the losers.

Naw

 

[Darth_Shiveman]

And Butch better answer for this new strength and conditioning coach. These injuries are alarming to say the least. I would rather lose a couple of guys in camp as opposed to this. And it killed the team today.

This is just a bad opinion.


We've had a lot of guys out for the past few games because of ankles getting rolled in games (part of the game of football) and because of hits to the head (part of the game of football).

I'll take that over guys going down in practice or the weight room any day

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

Are you not?

We were playing so many backups today on defense and on the OL.

We shouldn't have let it get that out of hand, granted. But this one game doesn't define Butch's tenure

Not I'm not.

Kicking that FG was absolute surrender.

 

[jjay2518]

Agree but slow is slow

Playing show and being slow are two different things though. I think there was a lot of the former today.

 

[NMVol]

Alabama's just too good. You can't let their defense and special teams score. The one bright spot in this game was Elliot Berry's play.

 

[DeekT]

Maybe if our team was healthy we could have only lost by 14.

Still sold on Butch though, he is my HC.

Yes sir. We will need a healthy team to compete with Alabama.

 

[nashvol1]

The injuries especially on the line killed our O today. Weismann at center makes us so much better.

Two mistakes by Debord were not starting Kamara and not moving the pocket like against FL

 

[theutvolunteers]

Gettin real

 

[Orange Studs]

Yeah wheels fell off. It happens

Not surprised coming from you to be honest. We get some players back on D in the next two weeks we will run the table. This team just had a 7 game run with no breaks and tons of injury.

 

[Aesius]

Who would have taken a guaranteed 5-2 with wins over UF and UGA at the start of the season?

 

[OrangeBlood4life]

I mean at what point will all the 5 star players stop going to bama. It's ridiculous

We didn't have a single tackle on our roster who could block their ends.i don't know if Weisman would have made much of a difference.

I agree

 

[JCP201]

That was horrible.. Still love this team and love our coach.

 

[Catbone]

It won't

 

[Ashevolle]

So your willing to bet your house against your team?

His parents' house

It's why you move the pocket to keep them off balance. I just wonder how the injuries limited us. Not suggesting we would have won

 

[LA Vol]

Eh, plenty of us saw this coming. Time to get healthy and focus on running the table.

Seriously? I thought we could lose by 2 TDs, but who saw a total collapse and a 39-point beatdown that could have been even worse.

Didn't give those tackles much help either. How many times did we go with nothing in the backfield?
