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

I’ve never seen a Vol DL as DEEP as this one with talented, very productive guys across the 4 man front. We did have a group of 5 D Tackles on one team who eventually played and even started in the NFL- John Henderson, Haynesworth, Boo Moore, Aubrayo Franklin & Demetrin Veal.

Not sure if this DL is loaded with future high round NFL draft picks, other than James Pearce. Maybe Josephs and eventually Jordan Ross will be high rounders. I do think several of these guys including some DTs will eventually make productive NFL players.

I can’t attest for whether the Vols have the current best DL in the NCAA. But I love the way our guys all play hard every snap, all of them do their job/fill their gap, and I wouldn’t trade them for ANYONE! And man, these guys looked bummed coming off the field at OU when they finally gave up a TD!

Edit to clarify- I have not seen a better DL than ours this year. There may be one I haven’t seen. I’ll ride with ours any day, though.

I’ve never had a problem acknowledging his correct takes…especially when I had the same ones (just didn’t create threads begging for stranger cred). State opinions and WAIT for confirmation is the way. Claiming superior evaluation skills and wishy washy excuse making when a declaration goes south…is no way. 😏
 
1) dude ain't right about nothing, he throws crap against the wall, like a broken clock is right twice a day, sometimes stuff sticks; 2) it's 1/3 of the way through the regular season, roughly 1/4 if you count the playoffs. Way too early to make this call one way or another.

Is actually right for once?

He said earlier this was the best Dline in the country. And you know what I’m ready to say he’s right on this. No other team has the talent and depth that we rotate from game to game.

I would love to hear opinions and see if anyone has another team they think is on par with our Dline.

Thank you for the credit. Here's exactly what I said: 2024 Vols will have the best d-line in the country....BY FAR

Not only would we be the best but it wouldn't be close. I also said look out for Jayson Jenkins as a potential breakout player. And last week he made the huge safety.

Hopefully my prophecy about us winning the national title also comes true.
 
When did he actually say this? Before or after? I'm betting on after.

I said it after the first day of fall camp after seeing how our team looked. And to be fair we had a pretty good d-line last year as well. My particular take was that we would have the best d-line in the country BY FAR. I went beyond just being the best but it being something special that isn't seen very often. Here's my exact post if you want to read it: 2024 Vols will have the best d-line in the country....BY FAR

Thanks, SO MUCH for "chiming in" ...D4H's "Daddy"...
Lol just figured this would grind us through the bye week. D4H is a polarizing character so I figured it would bring a little extra spice.

Main thing I’m interested is hearing people’s perspective on who is as good as the Vols.

Idk what specific quote you're referring to, but yes, I acknowledge he was right about what many of us said to our friends all offseason
 
Your bet is correct. His bold take came a couple months after the Einsteins over at AtoZ said the same thing. Which means it was already quite recognizeable.
Come on now. Has there ever been a day ever that D4H wasn’t overly optimistic?

Doesn’t mean sqwat. Oline will decide our future anyway.

From what I’ve heard Josh pate says UGA and Texas weakness is their D-line, been a long time since we could we have a better D-line than Georgia , but I love it!

You throw enough crap out there and eventually you're gonna be right about something.. It's inevitable

Our starters are very impressive, but what really makes our DLine is the depth. We are stacking them deep.
