'15 GA CB Micah Abernathy (UT Signee 2/4/15)

[Glitch]

There's no doubt Hurd was productive. I'm just concerned about the durability of his shoulder. He got hurt last year towards the end and is still in a green jersey. It may be precautionary, but still a bit of a red flag when I look at it. I agree on Kelly and Kamara is a huge upgrade over lane. I hope you're right and that everything does turn out well

I think the green jersey on Hurd and North is simply to limit the contact they take is spring so they are healthy going into summer workouts and fall camp. I don't think they are still nursing injuries from the fall.

Right. I said it may and probably is precautionary, but I don't think we can be 100% sure. Butch seems like a practice oriented guy that wants to have everyone out there and healthy so he can have productive practices. again could definitely be precautionary I'm just not sold on that.

Yeah. He is having shoulder issues. It's a result of his running style and the only thing he can do is add more muscle to his upper buddy. He needs to learn when and when not to keep churning for extra yards.

I am hoping that we pass more because, well, we have good weapons on the perimeter. Debord and Azzani have eluded to such. If so, that will certainly help the Rb's health over the season.

Hurd will more than likely have some shoulder issues from here on out, he just has to be able to manage them if he can.

He had no choice last year. He was getting hit at the LOS most games. The Iowa game showed his true style. He's a power slasher. He'll also have a lot more help this year. Paulk and Kelly will be huge for depth to go along with that other monster Kamara.

Hope Kelly is going to impress

Paulk? Did I miss something?

 

[The Breakerboy]

Paulk? Did I miss something?

Supposed to be back in the Summer. Two years off his knee injury. Should at the least provide some serviceable depth. He better be in shape since he's being given another chance.

 

[tdtrevorg]

Our #3 RB mainly got carries only during garbage time last year even with Hurd and Lane staying banged up most of the time. The only concern depth wise this year is keeping that #11 jersey clean. If he gets banged up we couldn't beat any team in the SEC. He needs to take DeBord's advice. First down, Touchdown, or get down

This is confirmed?

They cannot confirm it yet, but this is the plan barring something in the court happen

Bob Mueller said it's a no go if I remember correctly

Incorrect. I checked his stats and this is the last I saw him say on the subject...

Paulk was almost guaranteed to return before all the recent bad press hit with AJ and the Tennessean witch hunts. I still think there is a very good chance he's back. Butch wants him back and he is a perfect number three back for us.

And this was posted a week earlier...

He's likely coming back. Just like DP12 said, I am very surprised this is the case.

Good chance Paulk will be back.

Haha that's something I'm glad to be wrong on

 

[Go Fight Win]

I have been told he will be sometime in the summer. It's a wait and see scenario

I hope he's been able to stay in shape.

Talking about Paulk right?

Just making sure. I've had my head in a textbook all day so my comprehension was kinda fried

Hmm. Mysterious. What will he "be" this summer?

With Paulk I'd agree. Without, it's iffy

Fyp bruh

 

[VolsDoc81TX]

Devrin isn't here, Hurd has yet to prove he can stay injury free, pig won't line up at RB, and neither will pearson. So while yes you were able to stack names you weren't able to give any that make me feel better. You were able to show why I'm confident at CB though so thank you for compiling that list so others can make their own decision.

Edit: Wait I remembered that Joseph Young is coming. He doesn't make me feel better really, but it's another body that is a step above a walk on.

When Tennessee won the SEC and trounced the miami hurricanes in the Sugar Bowl, Tennessee's starting RB and one CB were walkons. The walkon CB led the Sec in interceptions that year IIRC.
Never know what could happen... :salute:

Better than Florida too. Alabama is pretty thin as well. Hurd and Kamara will be a filthy duo and will likely get 85-90% of the carries. Everything after that is gravy.

Agreed.
