You remember incorrectly.

The secondary was always the main concern coming into the season. Now that doesn't mean that everyone was running around saying that all of our players are the worst to ever suit up, but it was overwhelmingly the biggest area of concern on this board and elsewhere.

I remember getting an entire thread of shite from nearly everyone when I said the CB's and LB's didn't look good in the highlight vids

In everyone’s defense, there was no way to predict that our defense was going to be dog shite under Odom.

I'd actually like to see Perkins and Hilton on the field at the same time. Perkins as you say is a very sure tackler. Hilton is a playmaker on the backend.
Maybe not so much huh?

quote:

Excited to see the two long sophomores starting at CB.

Hmmmmmm

quote:

I know I'm in the minority but I really like Hilton. He's a gambler and I like that on the backend. Make plays. Takeaways are huge.



quote:

Ya, Hilton has a chance to be an interception machine.

Machine????


quote:

It sounds like Sherrils and Prewett had impressive days. I know "we talkin' bout practice." I get a feeling of optimism and more energy from these guys this year. I know you get the optimism right before every season but there seems to be more confidence from this group. They know they have some thing to prove this year.



quote:

I think Prewitt will be the beast they have been looking for in the secondary/passing down LB.



quote:

Sherrills is freaking JACKED. Dude looks like a LB.

There was talk about him being an early entry for the draft at one point. That never materialized obviously, but he's very talented.


quote:

Could be, but they were referring to last year.

Said in response to a coaches comments about how weak our CB's are...clearly stating they are solid this year.

quote:

Our secondary is terrible, I don't see that changing this year. Lots of shootouts in our future.

Well TigerCruise at least got it right.

quote:

We'll see I guess. I like Acy and Holmes. We haven't had that kind of length back there since...well, ever.



Jesus, I could go on forever but I think you get the picture. Yes, there were a number of people who were defending this secondary before the season, saying some of them would be drafted this year, saying they were better than last year's and so on.

Again, you confuse liking a secondary with not saying "ZOMG!!!! THESE DUDES SUCK!!!"

There is a whole in between those two extremes.

Since you are digging posts up, go find the official record prediction where I predicted 5-7 and specifically referenced the weak secondary as the reason.

Here you go

I think we'll struggle to get to 7-5.

I just see the defense really being bad. The back 7 is just horrifying. Maybe some guys step up, and hopefully they do, but if not it could be a long year.

The offense should be good enough to get us to a bowl, and that's progress. Have to hope the young defenders that BO brought in turn into something.


You're digging up posts from months before the season and you have this mental block where it's hard for you to get around the fact that some posters aren't overtly negative all the time and prefer to talk about positive aspects if they can.

I can't find the official prediction thread, but the secondary was referenced several times in it. It was very easily the consensus biggest area of concern coming into the season.

No one even knows what he is talking about. Highlight vids? Did he watch the HS tape of all of our current players? Cut up some All 22 and break it down? How about a link so that we all aren't so confused?

You guys are going to have to stop making stuff up at some point.

It's hard to remember something that didn't happen. Well, for me at least. You fellas seem to be able to do it.

UF is mediocre on O.

UT has been an offensive dumpster fire.

Vandy is Vandy.

I still think the Razorbacks CAN score it. Just a matter of if.

Anyway, if we give up more than 25 to any of these, that’s another fireable offense imo.

Is the turn around on defense

AJ definitely had an impact bc like you said it takes some heat off of Beckner. With that said I think TB is taking fewer plays "off". I also think its just taken time for BO to find the right formula; schemes and getting guys in the right position. I think all the Spring & Summer practices gave him a false impression on what the younger guys could do. Anyway that's my take.

LOL.

Yeah, you really looked like a moron in that thread.

Thanks for the memories!

You've got some serious internet strategy going on. Be overly negative about EVERYTHING. When something negative happens scream I'm right!!!

Good stuff.

You should have been called out for being an idiot in that thread, because you were being an idiot.

Unsurprisingly, you're misrepresenting what happened.

Nobody was calling you an idiot because they thought the secondary would be good.

They were calling you an idiot for your constant shite posting and drawing conclusions from scrimmage highlight clips. Or in other words, they were calling you an idiot because you were being an idiot.
