Hearing that Wiesman may be a good one

Anyone think if tiny declares we have a shot at both tackles being first rounders? Side note has that ever happened at ut? I've seen multiple sources say we have the best tackle tandem in the nation so I would love to see it....

Antone Davis and Charles McRae both were drafted in the 1st round, weren't they?

I believe they were actually drafted consecutively. 7th and 8th pick. I could be really wrong on that, but that's how I seem to remember it.

Kerbyson has been working at guard and the freshman have been working at the tackles

Posey is the highest rated backup if memory serves.
Unless Pair has turned the corner I don't see him ever contributing. Big, but not athletic. There is a reason he has only seen the field once in three years.

When Satan got Alabama he had similar type issues, I think CBJ can make this happen better. Remember the book issues.

It is going to take time, but I think CBJ is a process guy that will build this team up sooner than we would expected.... Timing has been good and once the foundation is set he will focus on constantly improving this team....2 to 3 years it will be a machine....

I am buying into this process....

So you also believe Butch will have a "Sudden Impact".

Crowder, Kerbyson, Posey, Pair will get p.t. this year, not to mention Jackson, who has actually started before, I believe. Weisman, Kendrick, Sanders may get in this year, but I bet two outta three will red-shirt. We'll see. If we get one JUCO next year, we'll be a'ight.

Austin and Brett both may see play time this year. Also both are jjust a little slow on the quick snaps, I will try to attach the link, but its on utsports.com or youtube, Coach Mahoney talks about Dylan, Brett, and Austin. I'm not sure if Dylans High School ran a hurry up offense or not, but Coach Mo says he's a little ahead of the other 2 mentally, they're being beat off the snap, not physically, just mentally. Coach says that will change. If I cant attach it, go to UTsports.com look up vol practice pounding the pads, under neath the video are icons for videos from coaches, click on the icon for mahoney, if the link I try doesnt attach;

Yeah I think it's just a function of the quick pace and the competition. Sanders will get to where he's not worried about the play because he knows it, and practicing against much bigger and faster DE's. doing exactly what you'd expect. Initial struggles until the game slows down.

Yeah, that's what Coach Mo says, just the struggles of being a freshman.

I don't know. It will depend on how James' season and subsequent work-ups go. Though it has happened, most RTs aren't drafted high. They only get drafted high if they're an RT that is projected and drafted as a LT.

There will be good OTs coming out this year, in addition to Richardson. Cyrus Kouandjio, Chris Matthews, Cameron Erving and Taylor Lewan are all projected above Richardson even.

I think both will be First Day picks though.

We have 4 guys from the 2011 class that should contribute but the biggest problem is Dooley didn't sign a single OL in 2012.

Dooley should be tar & feathered for that at the minimum, and probably taken to court for gross negligence as a head football coach. He must have felt like a short timer at that point, and didn't put forth any effort to sign an OL. :ermm:

It's weird how in 2012 we signed 2 DT, 1 LB and zero OL.

Yet we signed 4 WRs.

I have no doubts about Austin becoming a significant contributor for us -- I hope it didn't seem like I was discounting him in any way.

Nor do I pretend to have any inside info on what the coaches are thinking as to how much they will play the young ones, and how soon.

I just guesstimated that with the number of our veteran starters and our second line backups that have already been here, coaches would probably bring along slowly some of the youngest talent. Looking forward to seeing them play, either sooner or later. :hi:

But at least he did RS some OL. And I believe he got the ball rolling with some of the talented ones we landed in '13. Coulda been worse. :question:

I didnt take it any other way. If Coach Mo and/or Coach Jones think that he's ready, they'll make that decision. He has to work hard to get that spot. I know he's working hard and is doing everything to be better, the good thing is he learns fast and doesn't give up. He's also competitive and doesn't wanna be outdone. And we are happy for Dylan also. I'm glad he's getting praised by the coaches.
