I think our OL is gonna surprise some folks. They won't be as touted as last year but they will play harder IMO. There is experience plus last years class plus Coleman Thomas can equal a sick OL. I am excited to see how they come together. GBFO!!!

The biggest difference is that our WR group is night and day better than last years.. There's honestly no doubt about that.

We have 3 QB's and an OL that will be as good as or better than last year.

As the old saying goes, you don't really have a QB if you have more than one.

Obviously you guys are hoping for the best on the o-line but it takes time for a whole new group of guys to get comfortable playing together. There will be some growing pains but it will definitely pay off in the future.

Once again, whose jimmies has Pruitt rustled, and how has he rustled them?

We love to hear about other teams falling apart at the seams. Bring us your tales

Basically Pruitt came in and declared all positions on defense were open for competition and some players did not like it. Pruitt felt there was a sense of entitlement on the team, some guys felt like they should have a guaranteed spot. He!!, Pruitt was giving some walkons fist team reps and dropping some guys all the way down to third team.

No problem with that.

I thought maybe they had taken away the booze or maryjane, and the team was up in arms.

Carry on. :hi:

Good luck with that. Even the vol players enjoy the booze and devils lettuce from time to time. The difference is we have a coaching that tests them and actually think that's going to stop them.

Not sure if serious.

Our boys are straight from the choir. The only lettuce they have comes with a thick stack of grilled chicken on top of it. :p

I'm with ya on this. Our OL will have some growing pains, but when they gel as a unit, look out imo. Our WRs will carry our QBs and help out with any deficiencies there. The talent stacked at WR is just gonna make our QBs that much better...GBFO!!!

i gotcha. Yeh, nothing says "good kid overall" like double cashing checks from the University that gives you a free education & chance to play SEC Football

In light of the recent NFL draft, is it fair to say our past OL was overhyped? I recall several articles where it was thought all 5 starters might be drafted and turns out only 2 were? While I don't think our upcoming OL will be the best ever, it's not unreasonable to think the drop off from 2013 to 2014 will be that large. 2013 simply weren't as good as advertised.

Instability, coaching changes, etc. can have a lot to do with it as well. I don't really like to get into the whole overhyped/not as good as advertised conversation much. It is what it is. How these guys develop and perform in the pros will truly show whether the talk was warranted and if they reach their potential in the pros then I'm happy. They are all VFLs and gave their all for our University so I'm proud to call them Vols.
