What are your odds on Cooper and Gerald playing Saturday

[FLVOL_79]

Thought I saw Mays fully dressed out on the sidelines during the Florida game.

Cooper had a hernia surgery and we keep this stupid gamesmanship or lying about status every week. Get him healed and be honest about status, more important stuff than football, especially since we’re not sniffing the playoff or even the division this year. Hopefully this situation has taught our coaching staff a lesson about why you need an offensive line and to not be lazy in the portal and recruiting.

When our true starting 5 OLs are playing, I think we have 2 or 3 that are transfer guys. I don’t know how much harder you think the coaches can go in the portal. Really good (SEC starting ability) OL aren’t easy to get. I think our coaches have done very well getting 40-60% of our starters from the portal. Just maybe Cooper is so good as the OL’s signal caller, he is missed that much. Much like Peli was counted on to be defensive alignment guy. Tenn is not 2 deep in starting talent just yet.

The coaches don’t give two craps what any one of thinks … that I am 100% sure of

I think he still has a Covid year. A medical redshirt would give him two more years. My guess is he's ready for the NFL, but I have no insider knowledge.

He was but it's been all for show basically.

Vegas Odds?

Don’t gno about noh odds, but I knows that when we come on the field, we will be dominating our opponent thoroughly. Especially during the “coming through the T” phase. No matter the outcome of the game we will be ranked.

TN should be able to whip UTSA without either. However unless Cooper is 100% healthy, he should not (and won’t) play today. GM 100%.

 

[jeff1vol]

He hasn't had 3 years ... he has had two recruiting classes - with scholarship limitations.

Ok. True. But MAYBE if we didnt recruit 15 DB's a year and get a few more OL, we wouldbt be in this position. Roster managment is on the staff either way. And all the DB's we've recruited, we are still playing the same ol bunch that aint SEC level. I dont get it. At all.

[joevols89]

Probably don’t see him before TAMU.

 

[patrick]

Told you guys that we would not see Cooper.

 

[joevols89]

Told you guys that we would not see Cooper.

But Austin Price said he would play vs Florida.

 

[volfanstuckinga]

Why?

"Game time decision" 3 weeks in a row? And NO improvement....come on man....it was never a "game time decision" if this is the case

I'd say it's pretty hard to talk a high quality center that leaves his old team to start somewhere to come be a backup to cooper.

 

[Toucan Sam]

I hope so.

 

[ksgovols]

He should but he didn’t. We keep saying it’s a game time decision to play games vs the other team when it’s not. Just don’t give any updates or tell the truth. “Cooper underwent a major surgery and we care about our guys and only play them at 100%. He’s not going until then and we’ll announce only then”. Not that hard.

There's laws against sharing medical information without consent. Those pesky HIPAA regulations that get in the way of what the public gets to know about a player's 'major surgery' or other health related information. As it should be.

I’m not asking him to say anything. I’m just asking him to be truthful if he chooses to do so. Perfectly fine with saying nothing.
