2024 Vols will have the best d-line in the country....BY FAR

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Just watched some of the early footage from day 1 of fall camp and it looks like we have a loaded roster. Talent all over the field. But the group that stands out above the rest is the d-line. It's insane how much talent and depth we have at that position. We literally can go 3-deep at every defensive line position with guys who are quality SEC starters and potential future pros. I don't think there's a team in the country that comes close to our talent level on the defensive line.

2 guys who stood out to me that could have breakout seasons were #97 Jayson Jenkins and #29 Jordan Ross. Both look like grown men. Ross being a true freshman and already looking like the most impressive physical specimen on the d-line is crazy. I think he ends up being better than James Pearce when it's all said and done.

Why do you do this

Seriously...have you been in prison? Rehab? where did you disappear to for so long?

You watched a few minutes of video and make these kinds of conclusions. You just can't change... can you?

As much as I like Dobbs, he's been a career back up ever since you declared he would unseat an all-pro. You have been wrong about the vast majority of things you've said. Why keep looking like a fool?


FTR, UT has a very good DL. Part of the reason is that they have some guys who came back because they were not going to be drafted. Some are talented. UT does have quality DLs 3 deep. So why not just be satisfied with something that is frankly very satisfying?

Best in the country? How do you know this? Very good but don't know about the best in the country

Best in the SEC? Probably. Best in the country? Possibly. “By far”? Come on, man. This is just preemptive goalpost-moving.

so..."Pearce Jr 4 Heisman"?

 

[knoxvol52]

Unfreaking believable. First live game snap hasn't even been made yet.

 

[Rockytop10nessee]

Why do you do this

So he can come back later and crap all over our team when we dont go undefeated and un-scored-upon

 

[BACKDOC]

Ross looks great getting off the bus, but he's still a freshman.

There's every reason to believe we will have some very competitive D-Line play. Having said that you launching into the whole

"I don't think there's a team in the country that comes close to our talent level on the defensive line."

fairly reeks of the tsunami of hyperbole you've washed over this board before with less than stellar results. FWIW I hope you're right. Hell, we ALL do. Just maybe measure this approach you're taking against historical precedent. (especially since the team has barely even touched grass for the season at this point)

Did you happen to get a chance to time the long snapper to see where we stand nationally?

 

[The_Big_Orange]

Haha I read this and got all excited then looked to see who wrote it. Roller coaster up, roller coaster down…

Just remember D4H, one of these days you are going to be right.

 

[Berry4Heisman14]

Don’t feed the troll

 

[The_Big_Orange]

I also can’t help but think sometimes this is an epic troll, like a Kirk Herb Street or the like.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Why do you do this

He and @Nationdom do the same crap almost every year. Set insane expectations so that when they aren’t net they can bash the players and staff. Remember D4H said Dobbs and the 2016 team were garbage.

 

[DaddyChad]

You know….

This isn’t even in the top ten craziest things he’s posted.

You got a guy that’s a top five pick likely if he’s stay healthy in Pearce. Big O and ONL probably also are drafted and play on Sunday’s. You’ve got quite a bit of talent and depth at every position with one of the best dline coaches in the country; coach chop who’s the heir apparent aint too shabby either imho. Idk bout by far but I would say Tennessee is definitely in the discussions of most everyone for best dline in the nation

I told yall a long time ago. I follow elite talent. Since 2016 we've not been a talented football program. Even 2022 was more scheme based success than us being a talented team with future NFL players all over the field. This squad is back to the level of talent we had in 2015 and 2016. Hence the reason I'm more active on this board.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Eye test. I doubt there's another program with future NFL players running on their 3rd and 4th team along the defensive line.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

It doesn't take long to spot elite talent. If you read the practice reports that came out AFTER I made my post even the guys who cover the team said Jordan Ross looked like the most impressive physical specimen out there despite being a true freshman.

You don't need to see a guy like Ross for long to know he'll be great. Supreme talent is pretty evident early on.

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

I think the season will prove me right. This position group will dominate opponents like no other.
