I had a similar experienced. Watched the DVR and really enjoyed seeing CW out there flying around. He is truly an immediate impact. I like him and Von for their dedication through the rough times. I love seeing both excel. The two looked like they were reapin the rewards of their hard work Sunday night.

I re-watched and noticed LaDarrell Mcneil really flying around also worried about him getting a targeting penalty he was close a couple times with receivers coming over the middle they knew he was there.

One a game to allow the offense to know you are there is acceptable IMO. I would also guess, that to the media, Butch and Co. say it is not a positive thing (to be flagged for targeting) but within the meeting rooms, I would think 1 is acceptable to allow the offense to know the DB's presence is felt.

Just now getting a chance to watch the game on dvr.

Sitting in the stands it's hard to keep up with, and appreciate, the contribution some of these players make for the University of Tennessee Volunteers.

Chris fought his way to this team. He earned his spot on this team. He worked past all the obstacles to get here, despite the naysayers who said he wouldn't be able to get it done. If you followed his recruitment at all, you're aware of the uphill battle he faced. And now he's a Tennessee Volunteer.

That isn't something easily accomplished. It takes incredible determination and hard work. God given talent is the easy part.

I'm proud to cheer for, and support, young men like Weatherd. I believe that is what the spirit of a Tennessee Volunteer is all about. Some of us may take for granted the glory of Tennessee football. Young men like Weatherd never will.

Go Vols!

Absolutely agree with this. He could have taken the easy way out gone the Juco route, but he stayed the course.

The big thing we missed last year was a legitimate pass rush. The secondary took the blame for being too slow or taking bad angles and rightfully so. But no secondary can be successful without a good pass rush and Weatherd, Maggitt, Vereen and others can help them tremendously. Can't wait until some of the young studs like Hendrix and Henderson get to show their abilities to complement Weatherd.

Well, he has lived up to everything I laid out there. That was the point I was making. :)

I agree as well. Sometimes there can be so much pressure on these kids, both on the ones who struggle to get into school and also on the ones who have such high expectations upon arrival to school. We are dealing with teenagers much of the time and they will make mistakes like we all have. I am excited about his future and wish him all the success in the world.

Agree 100%! He is a great football player and went through an insane amount of turmoil to get here. It says a lot about his character and determination. He's gonna be a huge help for our defense and he will represent UT well

Unless that targeting penalty gets you disqualified (which seems to happen with the majority of targeting calls with the rule change)! How about we just hope he leads with the shoulder and hits the chest and waist. No chance to get thrown out then!

When asked tonight about Weatherd's ceiling, Jones responded: "He can be as good as he wants to be."

It was SO NICE to see an LB, Weatherford chase a play and run down an RB when the play was going away from him. He looked FAST.
