Thin Secondary vs Dawgs

[Volador]

Nuts. Hate watching ESPN and seeing TENNESSEE on the ticker, cuz chances are that it is not good news. Next up!!! Go Vols.

Sources: Vols CBs McCoy, Gibson out vs. Georgia

Tennessee's starting cornerbacks, Jermod McCoy, a preseason All-American selection, and Rickey Gibson III won't play against No. 6 Georgia on Saturday, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel.

It's really not that bad. We are as deep at DB as any position on the team. We have a true freshman earning playing time winning honors.

That’s not breaking news though. We knew Gibson would be out and McCoy is not projected back until Miss St.

Who are their sources? Jimmy Hyams?

Also, Peyton Manning is returning for his senior year.

We just can’t afford to have anyone else go down…I feel like our DBs are as good a group as we’ve had ina while…Redmond has been a welcome surprise and doesn’t play like a true freshman…Hood was very good last year at Colorado. Those guys might cycle out some but will need o go most of the game.

Sure would be nice to be full go against these mutts

It wouldn't be ideal but we really are deep at DB and we have cross trained multiple guys so they can fill in in a pinch in such a situation. There is a point where you run out of bodies but we're far from that.

Not good. We unfortunately are probaly too banged up at key positions to beat the Dawgs on saturday. I hope we can get Mccoy back before the Bama game but let’s be real he will never be the same player he was last season.

Yea, I remember a couple years back late in the season we had to play a backup safety at corner. We have much better depth now…I’ve really liked McMurray’s play and hopefully Boo will be back to last year’s form.

This was already known. Neither may be back before Mississippi State.

It’s not good. But it’s not news to anyone who is following. We are also thin on the DL now due to injuries.

 

[LittleVol]

If Redmond locks down their primary WR….how do you bench him once Gibson and McCoy get get healthy?

 

[Tin Man]

Without the injuries affecting Tennessee, UGA secondary has exhibited some weakness in their first two games.

 

[ALLINVOL9]

We already knew this. The secondary will be ok vs this offense. It’s the run game they will have to stop vs Ga.
