Why are we losing so many receivers?!?!

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Hyatt is buried on the depth chart and doesn't get many plays. I believe everyone in here would have taken a "not very good Hyatt" this year....

Yes but if Hyatt had played with Joe and Nico instead of Hooker, he probably would have had to have gone pro in something other than football.

He would have been an UFA, you can't teach that kind of speed

Bulletproof solution. Maybe Sal too?

Tee is a good coach

 

[OldVol]

Why would anyone be so upset over guys who didn’t see the field, and a starter who vastly underperformed, leaving?

In every position where we had players, even starters, leave, we upgraded. Just trust that the same will happen again.

 

[CAVPUT]

With the news that Squirrel White is going to the portal we gotta ask ourselves why this is happening and how are the coaches gonna address it? It's getting bad.

Either we encouraged them to move on or they have no faith in this offensive staff.

Wow, if true it was a hell of job to get this team to the playoffs. Raise and extension time.

Pretty sure that was your intent with this post RIGHT.

With the schedule we had, it was a decent job to make the playoffs this season, but nothing to warrant a raise or extension. We got fortunate Florida's starting QB went out injures against us. I also think we had a favorable draw getting Vandy, Arky, and Oklahoma on the road. NC State was trash.

We skirted by many games this season. Really thanks to D Sampson, but we won't have him next year.

 

[OH-Vol]

The same DB that looked solid all year besides the games they faced a very stout receiving core like the UGA and OSU receivers. Is that the DB upgrade you are mentioning? If so, UT better do ten times better at the WR upgrade than they did the secondary!!!

The DB group that started a Two true Sophomores and a true Freshman that would usually get 60 seconds of rest and terrible field position due to an inept offense going 3 and out over and over again

A 4.4 40 is fast but it’s far from the fastest.

6th best among WR's at the combine.....

Yea 2 years ago.

It’s not special. He’s not slow, but he was drafted way too high. An ufa might be a more realistic worth.

Sorry, did not think blue font was necessary. Making fun of the negas spin on dang near everything on the first page.

The receivers are finally getting separation

I'm freaking dead ! +2 to this man

 

[vegasvolfan]

Well said. I thought I might be the only one not calling for anyone's job. I think Elarbee and Pope need to show us something next year, though. We're about all our of inherited players from Pruitt and the portal alone isn't sustainable. They each really need at least a 1 or 2 of the players recruited out of HS to make a significant impact.

Hard to call for anyone’s job after a 10-2 season with a RS Freshman… hard to even say Heupel is running out of slack, but we just lost Mike Matthews too… so, we may end up seeing a coaching change there. Could just be an NIL thing. Gonna find out.

Didn't "lose" Mike Matthews yet. Could be a power play to earn more money and playing time. At least that's what I hope

 

[Webbvol32]

And you know what happened with the DBs after the mass exodus last year? We are making way for better players!

 

[RockyTopTexas]

Bad take… like really bad
We just lost a 5 star at the University of Tennessee
We should be embarrassed

 

[rocketskates]

There are some good WRs in the portal right now, but not as good as MM could be.

 

[Webbvol32]

Folks are insane on here. If MM is that good,why was he not being utilized? It could be he was overrated?

 

[VAVol85]

Tilman made his big jump in development under the previous coach, Kodi Burns, then treaded water his senior year as he dealt with injuries.

 

[SGMVols]

There are some good WRs in the portal right now, but not as good as MM could be.

There are literally hundreds of guys in the portal who could catch more than the 7 balls MM did

because this staff prioritizing seniority over talent.

That’s not true at all

If that’s the case, then the coaching staff better get to work

Or Mike didn’t catch on similar to stayley during the OSU game. These takes are reaching.
