Gators to Hire Ron Roberts as LB Coach, Co-Defensive Coordinator ?

[instaGATOR]

WR Wilson's 1st game as a Gator, and what to remember about it.
He took a punt inside the 5 yard line, instead of letting it go into the endzone.
He fielded 2 punts inside the 10 yard line (Fr mistakes).... 😕

However, he had the Gator's only 3rd down conversion (1-13) with a 13 yard reception leading to the capping for a 98 yard drive for the Gators only TD. He also caught the 2 Pt conversion pass.-- He had 2 receptions for 24 yds, There were moments when Wilson had an opportunity to do more, though a penalty nullified what would have been a 15-yard gain. He also had a 9 yard run on an end-around type play.

JMOHO, but Wilson is a more talented WR that the 'entitled' Pearsall in the slot.

I doubt it at this point but Wilson I think could be a serious weapon later in the year if we keep using him more.

Star/CB Perkins was an okay player, but a very questionable person, so no big loss there imo....

This is from sometime in July and this is how delusional and desperate UT fans are.

 

[sadgator]

That dude in the UT videos seriously needs to stop focusing on Florida…

It’s kinda sad what we have done to them in the past 20 years…

If that guy’s 50, he’s seen his team beat Florida two times since he was 30…

And only 8 times since he was 15…

Only 2 times in Gainesville…

Maybe he should focus on his own team…

 

[sadgator]

He seems a little less happy in this one…

There's another Vols fan who's known as Big Vol Daddy or something similar who usually vents after a loss to Florida. BVD was recently released from the hospital after spending 52 days there. I believe as a result he got his leg amputated, may have cancer, yet still smokes at least 2 packs a day so he may not be around much longer.

My fondest memory of BVD was the time Lane Kiffin snuck out of Knoxville. BVD was so ticked off he threw his Kiffin jersey out on his front lawn, burned it before he ended up pissing on it.

I doubt it at this point but Wilson I think could be a serious weapon later in the year if we keep using him more.

Eugene Wilson III 5-10 170 Fr caught 6 passes for 44 yards on Florida's opening drive against Tennessee before going out injured. He is one of UF's top-performing freshmen this season, Eugene took over a first-team role at slot wide receiver in Week 2 and has collected 12 receptions for 104 yards and two rushes for 27 yards in just over two games to begin the campaign.

Napier is holding him out for Charlotte, which is a good thing that I agree with. He's not needed this week, and I'd rather have him back fully healthey for @ UK...
------
WR Ricky Pearsall 6-1 190 Sr is a good WR/KR and needs to be in the game, but I still think that Wilson has more talent and more potential for big plays.

And Gator Fever, Ricky seem to agree. -- "I think he's a very talented player, very unique," Florida senior receiver Ricky Pearsall said of Wilson. "He's a very twitchy guy, so I think he's one of those guys where you've got to get the ball in his hands in space, so I think we were going out there and trying to do that. Get him going, because the young guys it's like, oh, they get in the Swamp and it's new to them, but I don't think the lights are too big for that kid. I think he's going to be a big player for us, big impact guy, so I'm excited for him."

Also -- "I've been in college for a few years and I haven't seen someone that fast, that twitchy," Florida starting QB Graham Mertz said.

"Sometimes you just know," Florida starting corner Jason Marshall said of Wilson. --- Yeeppeerrr....

RG Knijeah Harris 6-3 315 Fr (IMG) has appeared in each game as an OL backup this season, earning snaps at both LG & RG with a single-game high of 42 reps against McNeese State. He has yet to allow a sack or pressure over 32 pass protection snaps, per PFF.

JMOHO's as always....

TE Jon Odom has played the best over-all so far among the TE's.
He's a good blocker, he runs good routes, gets open, and he CATCHES the ball.

TE Hayden Hansen has graded out well recently for his contributions as a run blocker.
Play them all, but Jon should be the starter for now.

Note: Dante Zanders is out 1st half due to TN brawl, while he's had some drops, one in the endzone missing out on a TD. Good kid, great Gator, but not the best TE available right now....

PS to ILB Shemar James: You need to put more time on the curls machine to strengthen your arms,,,
so that you can wrap up and finish the tackle after you get there so quickly.... 😉

Odom can't block and isn't starting SEC material. I am hoping Boardingham takes that starting spot sometime this season.

Mihalek must be some sort of punishment for us. I'm truly struggling to remember the last mediocre to bad kicker we had.

It feels like it was either Leach or pre-Leach. And I don't necessarily remember him being bad, I was just a lot more critical 20 years ago.

Back when we had Austin Harden during the Muschamp years. IIRC, Harden ended up injured for the last 4-5 games in 2015 and ended up with a kicker who eventually became a dentist. It would have been worse under Butters had it not been for Eddie, Eddie, Eddie Pinero.

Who?!?! It is RARE that a name doesn't even ring a bell for me, and I've got NOTHING for that.

I'll be damned.

Wasn’t it Pineiro who refused to kick short on a kickoff, even though that was how the coverage was called, and the guy ended up running it back like 70 yards?
