'17 WV OT Riley Locklear (UT signee)

[PYSCHO]

Ashland, KY here. :salute:

South charleston here

Every stinkin' year....someone has a Freshman in the starting line up ahead of someone who doesn't need to be replaced. Trey Smith is not starting ahead of Jack Jones. It's not happening.

No

Just stop it[

 

[VolinArizona]

Richmond improved as the year went along.

 

[goooooovols]

Trey Smith isn't showing up 50 lbs out of shape like Kahlil.

I was more impressed with him at the Under Armor All-American game this year than I was with Kahlil at the Army All-American two year ago. He looks ready to play right now.

In fact he looks better than Robertson and Weisman already. And they started at guard for us last year.

I wish we would have left Kahlil out of shape...he played like a puss this year imo

He needs to be housed in the weight room for the entire off season, our line was soft

I don't recall ever seeing him blown off the ball one time. He did what he was supposed to do.
DTs are not stat machines.

I just feel he was better the previous year...perhaps the slim down and lack of solid strength coach influenced his play, I'll go back and look but creating some penetration is key and he didn't do that nearly enough for a former 5 star recruit, his impact should be felt...he's underachieving to this point

 

[Catbone]

Butch should have known better. We needed a S&C coach last year

His problem was missing his entire SR of HS football. KMac should be considered a bust at this point.

Riley going to be good...........real good!

You need to learn how to watch the defense in a football game and not just read a stat sheet.

another thing is his younger brother has not been offered by UT up to this point. Not having a good S&C coach has cost UT in several different ways. I argue that we, (UT), got blown off the line of scrimmage far more than we beat our opponents on the LOS. I also think it played a great deal in having so many injuries and also it had an impact on Jalen Hurd. I think he felt certain plays had little chance of a positive outcome. A good HC should have noticed this "mistake" at the Appy St. game,IMO. KMac ought to "see the light" and grow into the leader many feel he can be. With the uncertainty surrounding Tuttle UT has to improve along the DL to even be competitive in the SEC in 2017. :twocents:

A sophomore lineman is a bust? Really? This is our problem. We have relied on freshmen and sophomores in the line so much that we forget winning teams develop these guys and they show out as juniors and seniors.

KMac is not a bust. Run D is better when he is in and he commands a double team a lot.

This...he is not expected to have the sack stats of an End.

He doesn't really know football. He is just a self admitted cry baby. It is how he copes. So weak. But he is a Vol fan so we accept him despite his many shortcomings.

Biggest mistake he has made at TN. Might be the most important position to building a winning program.

Fyp.

Gonna bet that CBJ definitely learned that lesson, especially considering that he hired an excellent hard-nosed and demanding S&C coach...

:hi:

I would like this many times if I could.

At this point we will all agree that he gets no more
passes for lesson learning. Let your coordinators, coordinate and never take you eye off the S&C program. And recruit your tail off.

His impact was felt..Did you not see the last few games? That is what happens she you dont have good DTs.

Agree, Nash. Most schools and coaches would have had the opportunity to redshirt KM his freshman yr so that he could get into playing condition. Tennessee couldn't. So instead of being a promising redshirt freshman this yr our top notch talent evaluators here have labeled him a soph bust. Of course most of our "staff" never played a down of football outside their backyard

Thats my opinion. I think he will have a good year in 2017 though.

 

[E20volfan]

A healthy McKenzie and Tuttle and this defense would look a lot better.
