Too long???!!!! I thought it was gonna be 20 pages or something. It sounds like the coaches' big questions are the offensive guards. I wonder if that means Jacques McClendon will not redshirt? I am still more focused on QB than anything else but I guess you gotta' have a decent OL if teh QB play is going to improve.

From the way that article reads, it sounds like EA will be the clear frontrunner going into Spring practice. If that kid can get his head screwed on right and lead us to a 10-win (or better) season I might have to paint a big orange '#10' on the hood of my car.

Chattanooga paper is suppose to have something about Spring Football in tomorrow's paper. Of course if the normal guy writes it I will probably have read it in another paper or on the internet. Shoot, it'll probably the same article that was posted in this thread. :matrix:

The BIG question is if Coach Cut can or will wake up, change or modify our lazy, slow, predictable, unimaginative, antiqued offensive scheme.

If we go back to what he previously did, the effort will fail. If he brings our much overused scheme into the 21st Century w the talent available we should close the gap on some in the SEC. In any case, this season determines if UT will get their act together or simply make comestic changes to make stats look a bit better. Quite honestly, improving offensive stats should not be that difficult.

I'd like to see a complete flushing of the old and a bringing in of some new dimensions. Much like Coach Pearl has done with our bb team this season.

You'll have to send us a pic of the car. Don't care if it's neighbor's car either. Good post.

Yeah, well with the time I have to read here at work, anything longer than 90 seconds seems like reading biblical text...

Linebacker and offensive line seem to be the keys. The talent is there, maybe not the depth. But that's what spring practice is for. Call me unreasonably optimistic but I think Ainge will flourish under Cutcliffe. Cutcliffe personally developed the Mannings, Shular( a great COLLEGE QB), and let's not forget he developed our last national champion QB. I guess we'll just have to wait for the next month to unfold before any of this clears up.
Two questions, 1) Are we as injury plagued going into the spring as we were last year, and 2) Is Crompton ready for full speed or will he miss the spring?

i could be way off base here but i haven't heard of anybody being too banged up and last i heard JC is fully recovered and should be good to go for spring. hopefully we can avoid the injury bug during spring practice :cross:

3 things I noted.

1. Turk McBride listed as DE instead of DT.
2. Marvin Mitchell listed as returning impact player.
3. Eric Ainge AND Johnathon Crompton listed in the group of players to watch. Ainge isn't profiled with the other impact players.

I thought we were still pretty banged up at running back for spring?

Ready for spring practice....me too!

Way beyond any players talent let's look at how our new COACHING Staff does!

Quite simply, we had everything in order last year to make a SERIOUS run at the NC. COACHING & COACHING ALONE FAILED US. Some find that HARD to believe after SEVERAL YEARS of sub-par offensive performances, but it finally hit rock bottom.

This year DO NOT TOLERATE anything less than ALL our players can provide. Much like COACH Pearl has demanded from his short handed squad.

IT ALL GOES BACK TO COACHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of them had surgery in the off-season. If we don't get them out during Spring Practice, it could hurt us in the fall like last year. Think of how many linemen we had out last spring.

they ALL had surgery?? wow, i didn't realize that, when did they have them, surely it was long enough ago where they can take some reps in practice with minimal contact

I remember Foster was the last to undergo surgery, so maybe they didn't all go during off-season, some went during the season.

Chattannoga paper said the top three RB's would miss spring practice and so would a DE which combined with Mapu coming back may be why McBride listed as a DE.
