Vols' Todd Kelly says coach Charlton Warren quickly 'opened our eyes'

"It definitely opened our eyes," safety Todd Kelly Jr. said last week. "The first unit meeting we had, it was our whole defense, and after Coach (Bob) Shoop (Tennessee's defensive coordinator) was done talking, Coach Warren got up and told the defensive backs, 'You have 30 seconds to be in the (meeting) room or the door's going to lock.'

But did he get them to turn their heads?

"Just the fact that he's earned everybody's trust already and respect means a lot, and it just shows what kind of character he has."

This is important if he's going to get those younger guys ready.

Patrick Brown is hands down the best UT football beat writer. I think it helps being in Chattanooga and not competing for the angle, but dang, his quotes and character stories are always spot on.

THIS! Double-good news: we have a DB coach that is NO nonsense & has a good track record....& another great article by Patrick Brown. He's a terrific writer. :hi:

It looks like each position and position coach is bringing the intensity and urgency. The difference between 6-6, 8-4, & 10-2 isn't that great. It's often an untimely breakdown in assignment or a timely turnover.

Keep bringing it, coach!

Hopefully he gets TK to lose some weight so he can regain the athleticism he showed as a freshmen.

He's not fat.
It's just his body type.

His genetics is not of quick a twitch type.

Still a pretty good safety.

Byrd and Warrior are the guys with real potential at safety.

Osborne, LeBruzza and Bailey at CB

Then we should move him to Will linebacker and let him play a JRM roll. No way TKjr should be left on the bench!

There's all sorts of ways you could use him.

Could even switch him and Gaulden to put more speed in the deep field.

Agree, he belongs on the field.

Anyone know if Byrd was in the defensive backs meeting room?
