AUINSY 2,307 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hunter will likely be more productive than Tank b/c he’ll have better teammates, play calling, and coaches than Tank did 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that is so true, and I fully admit it is an unfair comparison. Another thing to consider is being the man...that matters too. When you are the focal point of the game plan, it does cause problems. See Nick Marshall vs Jeremy Johnson comparison. I am completely biased and I for sure prefer JH running style. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot take away from Tank's ability to maintain leverage even when the opponents are multiple. He very much made yards after the first contact. I question tank's vision and ability to get through certain holes, which Hunter seems to welcome when he runs. Another thing that drove me crazy about Tank is he bounced things out a lot. It’s that home run factor Hunter has. IT GETS THE PEOPLE GOING. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jgarrett7 973 Posted March 16, 2023 Share Posted March 16, 2023 Hunter has better hands, better vision and better take it to the house ability than tank, imo. Tank might’ve had a little more wiggle and power. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post passthebiscuits 7,021 Posted March 17, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2023 Ok second week update: Still need a qb. The staff knew it heading in, but now it’s the elephant in the room. Also…second LB. Fix those two things (not easy I understand) and we’ve got a chance to be dangerous this year. still light years ahead of anything I’ve seen in the last 3 years in practice. 14 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Cam Riley is lb no 1 I’ve heard very good things about Demario Tolan. I was hoping DT and CR would be a strong starting 2 LBs. With AK and WS providing nice depth. I think by September this should shake out pretty well. JMHO 🤷♂️ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win4AU 4,209 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 Scrimmage today. Not sure if they are going to be in JHS or the practice facility due to weather. Will be interesting to hear any reports that come out. Freeze probably still trying to figure out what he has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AUpreacherman22 3,945 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 I forgot to include Woodyard as well. Is it possible we have a decent 3 deep at LB?!?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still crazy to me we didn't push for Sanders. He's drastically better than anything we have. Huge risk waiting until Spring...we'll see what is there. Surprised by the LB comment between Tolan/Keys/Riley I'd hope we could find a solid 2 starters, then the leftover + Steiner/Woodyard should be a decent 2 starts + 3 rotational guys. Maybe you're including EDGE/Jack into your LB issues? If so, yeah I'd agree. Jack is a similar black hole that QB is 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack is a similar black hole that QB is True! Jack LB is an issue! We’ve got a stud TF. But I don’t want to have to bank on him being “The Dude” this Fall. The transfer from Vandy is a filler, not the stud Jack we need. I would LOVE to find a top level Jack in the Spring portal, but that is a tall order.

AUpreacherman22 3,945 Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 IMHO, if we could land 3 guys in the Spring portal it would be a P5 QB, a stud Jack, and a legit WR1! I know, I know. Getting all 3 would be very unlikely. But I believe those are our top 3 priorities! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The G5 stud transfer ready for the big time would’ve been during the fall/winter transfer window. (Unless one stuck around for the Spring to graduate before transferring). The Spring transfer window is typically for the big time recruit who finished second to the other big time recruit and wants to go somewhere else to get a shot to win the job in the fall.
