1st pick in the draft

Listen rape is obviously nothing to joke about but this is what I know. The alleged incident happened in Gibbs a few years ago. Allegedly the girl wasn't of sound mind but I'm not sure exactly was what wrong with her. I was on campus when all this happened and from what I heard nobody on the team cared much for Stewart after all this. I never saw him on campus with other guys on the team, and my best friend who was a trainer for the team said they all hated him. I'm not saying all this is 100% fact that is just what the word around campus was... What I was saying earlier is basically something happened with a young girl in Gibbs (whatever it was) and I have a hard time showing him sympathy for giving his all for U.T.

Also, I'm not perfect so I don't want to seem like I am judging anyone. He could be a great guy who had a girl lie about what happened to get attention(hopefully that is the case).

I've seen Stewart hang out with many football players, several times. As for the rape charge, it pretty much became clear that the charge wasn't going to stand, because the girl's friend was going to testify in Antwan's favor. Apparently both girls willingly engaged, the first girl became upset about the second girl. Thus, she filed a rape charge.

My bad kpt, I didn't realize it would offend you by speaking the truth about a very below average player.

He was plenty good as a safety. In fact, he was much more capable than Demetrice Morley, who everyone proclaimed a saint before he ever stepped foot on the field. If the Vols had managed to find another player that was capable of playing corner, safety is where Antwan would have stayed. Regardless, he worked through injuries as a Vol. I'm pretty sure he was on the team for five years, starting for three. As for wanting to see him go, that's nonsensical, because their obviously isn't anyone currently on the team waiting to take his place that is any better.

He wouldn't have sniffed the field in the mid to late 90s. The reason he was playing was b/c of injuries and like you said Morely just wasn't getting it done. I think one would have to say he was a weak link in the secondary.

I guess innocent until proven guilty means nothing.

A player that is better than 75% of the other players at his position can't be considered a weak link. Who did we have better other than Hefney? Maybe J. Wade. That's it.

Interesting VolinA, maybe that's why I used alleged incident, allegedly and I'm not saying this is 100% fact. I guess you didn't want to read that part. I guess you also didn't want to read the next post I had where I said I hoped it didn't happen and he was a good guy that had a girl lie about him. ?????????????????????

I read it all. However, you have said in PAST posts that "he shouldn't be on the team due to what happened in Gibbs Hall."

That doesn't sound like you think it's alledged.

Kp, did you not see PSU throw on him all game? He was the weak link in an injury-filled secondary that again was playing because we had nobody better. I agree he was "better" than the other guys we had; and that's not a compliment. Look at who their other options were: Antonio Gains, Ricardo Kemp, Parrish, Cannon and Ben Greene. HE was on the field because we did not have a better option. None of these guys would have sniffed the field in the 90s or early 2000s.

Valid point, I shouldn't have said that in trying to make another point. It was dumb to even bring it up, but then once I thought about it I used allegedly and then said I hoped it didn't happen and I hoped he was a good guy cause that girl could have made the entire thing up.

So, you'll be glad to see him gone, even though you admit we don't have another player behind him that's as good. That makes a lot of sense. Also, you might recall that he was once one of the fastest players on the team. A severe knee injury limited his speed, so he moved to safety. Unfortunately, he had to move back to corner because Inky Johnson got hurt.

You are making my point for me. He was on the field not because of his great ability but because of the lack of ability of other players. I'm assuming you saw him get picked on against PSU and several other teams, because you can't disagree with the fact that teams threw to his side more becuase he was the weakest player in the secondary. The people we will replace him with in recruiting will be much much better. (Berry, Mckenzie) Countless players have had knee injuries and didn't have to change positions. He wasn't moved from corner to safety because of lack of speed it was lack of ability. He has no cover skills.

I guess you forgot about Demetrice Morley. Who, by the way, was recruited as the top CB in the nation, but for some reason was unable to play that position, forcing Stewart to step in.

Anything is possible, but I don't enjoy a player leaving when there is no one behind him that is proven.

That's like telling Christopher Reeve that plenty of people have had neck injuries, but didn't spend the rest of their lives in wheelchairs. There are varying degrees of knee problems. Antwan's injury was very serious.

That's just plain wrong. He was a corner before the injury and a safety afterward. The coaches urged him to move because he'd lost a step.

Morely and Stewart are a push for weakest and even the fact they are close says something in the fact that stewart was a senior and morely a sophomore. What was so much worse about his knee than the countless others that have had major knee injuries like complete tears and still recovered? You have yet to address the fact he was repeatedly picked by opposing teams like PSU; they went after him because he was a weak player. That is what good teams do, they find the opponents weakness and exploit it, he was a weakness in the secondary as was Morely. For a 5th year senior he should have been much better than a true sophomore.

PSU in studying film of our games over the entire seaon in prep for the bowl game obviously saw him as a weak spot because they threw to his side of the field and had a lot of success like many other teams who threw to the man he was guarding.

He was much better. That's why he started over him when both of them played safety.
