I actually am MORE worried about Forsett than Lynch. Forsett is a Barry Sanders type back (and no, nobody has said he is the NEXT Barry Sanders). He's shifty and fast, and coming in behind Lynch is more of a problem than Lynch himself.

I'll have to take your word on him. I've not seen him play a down, that I remember. I did however watch a couple of games and saw Lunch (sp on purpose) and he is a very good back and does deserve hype.

Oh, don't get me wrong, Lynch is the better overall back. However, UT has almost always shown to be able to shut one player down. I predict we will use a ton of energy to shut down Marshawn Lynch. In fact, I bet Lynch has anywhere from 60-90 yards, but not 100. Forsett, though, could shred our defense. Remember, depth has been an issue for the coaches this offseason. It *seems* we don't have much of it. So, either Forsett will see action against our tired 1st team, or our fresh 2nd team (but most likely, a mixture of both). Forsett average almost a yard more than Lynch per carry in 2005.

No matter. It is a very, very bad sign when your defense allows exactly the same number of points for the season as your offense scored. For the D last year 205 without help from the O was very respectable. It stinks for an offense.

Actually, I'm very hopeful for this season. The addition of Cutcliff and other new staff, a more methodical and regimented approach to practices.Trooper getting the recievers to catch a few balls, a more talented albiet young defense. It could be just the concoction needed to wash down the humble pie we ate this off season. The key is Ainge. If Cutcliff has driven out his demons, we could be special. If not...well, it's more than a game this year for the staff. As Fulmer goes so goes the staff, and everyone will be under the pressure to produce, and there could be some panic as a result. The key for the staff is to keep thier composure and to have patience. If they do, I think the changes will eventually produce good results. All I can say is that they will have to show continued improvement throughout this year. If not they won't be around the next.

On D:

Tennessee puts 8 men in the box and forces them to pass to create turnovers. No way there wide outs can out "ball" our DB's. Lots of Blitzing. Basically go balls to the wall on defence and make them beat us passing. Think Al Wilson on Doug Johnson in 98'. Same type of scheme. If Cal beats us with more yards passing than they do running I will be very surprised.

On O:

Alot of what I said about our D facing Cal's O is vaild here. Cal is going to do the same thing. Put pressure on Erik Ainge and try to get mistakes into turnovers. There going to have 8 in the box comming. What kills this? screens, think Donte' Stallworth (Michigan bowl game). Maybe, just maybe after we establish the rush and screen and Cal thinks they've sniffed it out Ainge will be smart enough to see it and audible to a bomb.

That is what will win this game, the running game, and Ainge's abilty to read the D, and audible given that he is physically up to the task. Because me personally I'm not to worried about Lynch, Chavis has been doing this a long time. Our D will be fine.

It will be a mix. That is Chiefs M.O. and that is why we always seem to have some expreince. Forsett won't get a 2nd team only.
