I know people like to bust D4H's chops but damn. He just posted an opinion that Nigel doesn't have great instincts and isn't Eric Berry incarnate. No prospect is perfect and there is a chance Nigel doesn't start. No one is really even trying to argue that he's wrong, people are just calling him an idiot.

When he said he was THE BIG ? in the class, that is what made him an idiot.

He's a little stiff in the hips. I watched one of his hs games that was on ESPN. While he's got great athleticism, he was always a little late to the ball which made me question his insticts. He's a good prospect. But not elite.

I personally like Stephen Griffin the most of all the safeties on our roster. He has the highest ceiling.

Reminds me of the time I went to a college basketball game and had to endure someone yelling all his coaching "expertise" so everyone within shouting distance would recognize his high basketball IQ. It was pretty easy to see that he was merely using terms he had heard somewhere else and had no real knowledge about what he was saying. Sorry D4H, but I get the same feeling reading most of your posts.

You can't say I'm some unfair person that disagrees with what you say solely because you said it cause I agreed with some controversial point of yours like a week otter ago. But this point...

This point is stupid and you should feel bad for saying it. Brown and Warrior for Mecole 2.0 dude.

Expectation: In the receiver rotation

Reasoning: With only four receivers returning for 2016 that caught passes, the need for help and depth at the receiver rotation is there which is why the Vols signed five in the class of 2016. Perhaps the highlight of that group is Callaway. The US Army All-American showed in San Antonio that he is a versatile athlete playing defensive back for a good bit of the week. Callaway is long and has the ability to get down the field as well as the ability to play multiple receivers positions. Given the fact that the coaching staff wants to play 8-9 receives a game, many of the 5 wideouts the Vols signed in 2016 will have every chance to make an impact on Team 120.

Yeah, I really don't wanna see more than 6-7 receivers a game. That's about a set of starters and a sub for each.

Stiff in the hips? He's a S, not a CB. Much less of a problem for a S. He will rarely be matched up on the line and running with a WR step for step in his route.

I don't see the lack of instincts you see, and he has the pedigree and attitude of a stud S, be it free or strong. He also has elite speed to help compensate for potentially less than elite insincts.

Doesn't allow for any of them to get into the game flow. Run a route, go stand on the sideline...run a route, go sit on the sideline...rinse, repeat.

Warrior dominated in the camp setting in man coverage as well(which is a disadvantage for DBs). Dude has no idea what he's talking about. He's an undersized(he's built more like a CB to me) safety and was recruited by every big time program. That should tell you all you need to know. Warrior is a dominant playmaking safety and has superstar potential. Could be the best safety at Tennessee since Eric Berry. IMO

Preach, brother. It has to be incredibly hard to get in a rhythm going in and out constantly.

It's just crazy to me. QB having to adjust to all kinds of WRs stylistically is crazy. Dobbs throws to Wolf(a pass catcher who hardly leaves the field) a lot better than the WRs. He usually hits him in stride. There's a huge difference when a QB knows where his guy will be every time. Dobbs has to look to see if his WR is at the spot most times. By doing that it will cause passes to be late or behind a WR(one of the biggest complaints from most on here).

SN: Why have a first or second string of WRs if you're going to play them all anyways? That's crazy as hell to me.

Yes and to me this is the biggest reason why we had issues in the passing game. I understand wanting to keep everyone fresh but that is too many WRs. We should have 4-5 starting WRs and backups for each and call it good.

Malone
Pearson
J Johnson
Smith
Jennings
Preston

North
Pig

Help me out. When did we play anymore than the first six receivers I listed in any one game?

Systemic WR rotation isn't part of the problem IMO. I think no one asserted themselves and that's the issue. If Malone and Preston would just come out and stake claim we would be in bidness; and frankly I think Preston did his best to do that he just made frosh mistakes here and there.

First two outside Malone and Preston, next two would be Jennings and Smith.

WR rotation and usage is a huge problem to me.

Me too.The NFL don't use 9 or 10 receivers in a game.Why should we.

NFL teams have half the number of players. Didn't we routinely complete passes to 10 or so receivers back when Peyton and Clausen, etc. played? 6 wides, 2 tight ends, 2 backs... That's ten receivers. Go 4 wide and two rotations you have 8. Are we talking about 10 receivers or ten wideouts?

We're talking about line changes every couple plays instead of letting your best WR stay on the field and get in a rhythm with the QB and the defense.

When I read the VQ quote as posted, it looks like folks are putting a lot of details (then complaining about them) in there that aren't in the quote. It says nothing about every two plays, nothing about playing the receivers equally, nothing about only counting WR. That may or may not be the intent, but that isn't what the quote says.

I want 8-9 WR's that can play. But I do not want 8-9 WR's to play in every game when it matters. I agree with most everybody - less is more. Better timing and trust are built. I hate the approach they sometimes use when they call games like they are practices. They are not. Just win. Then if time is left in the game and you have put it away, practice.

You don't play 8 WRs. Your top 3-4 guys should take the majority of the snaps. If they can't run all game put them on the bench.
