Curt Maggitt: ESPN's double-digit sack artists

[Freak]

8. Curt Maggitt, DE/LB, Tennessee: He might not have played last year, but Maggitt is arguably one of the best at his position. He'll play more defensive end this year, but his goal every time he's on the field is to hit the quarterback. If he can stay healthy, he'll do that a lot.

Let's hope his ankle heals and he's back on the field for Saturday's practice as planned.

I'm starting to think you don't sleep.

And yes let's hope so. I expect big things from him this year if he can stay healthy.

To play devil's advocate there are a lot of wildcards with Maggitt: staying healthy, switching positions, and he hasn't played football in a year. Let's hope he can live up to the hype.

And yes, I tend to be an insomniac at times.

I hope Maggitt will be the difference maker we know he can be.

Curt Maggit, Enough said.

Let's hope his ankle heels and he's back on the field for Saturday's practice as planned.

I am concern that with the extra weight on Curt that it will create more injuries on his body.

Hope not, Curt is awesome at pressuring the ball.

pun intended?

I was sad for Curt that he got hurt. He was on his way to all America imo. He showed insane amount of talent and skill set. He could cover the field like no one and chase people down

 

[Biopsyman]

Will be all SEC this year and All American next.

 

[Volador]

Curt Get's It!

Freudian.

 

[DD4ME]

Curt Wonderstone will make opposing QB's disappear.

 

[omghulkhands]

He can be the best pass rusher we have had in years, he just has to stay on the field. Hope he can get 100 percent healthy and keep it that way.

Would someone please tape his ankles with about 5 layers of grey Duck Tape Dammit!! :banghead2:

I am really surprised at the hype around Maggit. I am all for him and hope he can be everything he always wanted to be, I just don't know HOW it can be done. He hasn't played against an opponent in a very long time. Half his college career has been sitting. How is this hype possible? I don't know, I haven't been around him, I don't know him, I haven't seen him play. That's the point tho, no one has seen him play. Where is all this hype coming from?

Because when he's been healthy he's been a dynamic force. His talent jumps out. Both his freshman and pre-injury sophomore seasons he was UT's most disruptive defensive player. Let's all hope he can have a healthy 2014...Lord knows we'll need him. :hi:

Was he? Because I was watching, and well, I mean he was as good as anyone else on the team. I think he has been riding off the hype of his recruitment and he has the right mind set (as a leader) no doubt. Everyone says that. Just, yet to prove anything on the field that I'm aware of. Hope he can hit that bam a QB man. Nobody else has.

 

[SycloneJoe]

I hate that we lost out on Caleb Azubike. 4* from one of the largest schools in TN (McGavock) and Dooley didn't even offer.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

I will go on to say if he lands a good solid hit on that bam a QB I will clime on my roof naked, painted orange, and sing rocky top and you 'all can a film it.

Obviously we saw the same play but have differing opinions on what happened. We can all hope that my impression is what we will see this season. Like you pointed out earlier, CM is far from a sure thing as he's not shown the durability to stay on the field consistently. I hope that's behind him. :good!:

I see mountains of empty Red Bull cans surrounding Freak like a mighty fortress.

Wow. 7 out of the 10 are in the East (and no player(s) from Alabama). We play against 7 of the 9 other players on this list. The offensive line definitely has their work cut out for them.
