Jermod McCoy's Early Success As A Tennessee Defensive Back Lands Him As Highest Rated DB In The SEC

Tennessee has had one of the most impressive defenses so far, as they tore down the old lineup and completely rebuilt the team, following many players who trans

Jermod isn’t just rated as the best cornerback on the Tennessee defense but also conference-wide across the SEC. McCoy has an 82.8 pass coverage grade and a 66.3 run coverage grade for the Vols on PFF. He has also been rated as an 81.6 overall grade which is good enough for the best in the SEC with a minimum of 40 played snaps.

And we've played who? Just sayn. It's the "beginning of a beautiful relationship"...if we can do it against our hated foes!

The team and the players can't control WHO they play. They can only control HOW they play. Celebrate the good when the HOW is worthy of celebration.

Your first sentence is exactly correct....but it doesn't make us world beaters cause we had third stringers in the start of second half.

We don't know anything yet...except promise and hope...and those are powerful but shouldn't be misread....jmo.... we'll know Saturday....we all will.

Go Vols!

His acknowledgment has nothing to do with what's to come. It's about what has been. You are attaching a future event to an accomplishment of games so far. Why not just celebrate the young man for the work so far?
Who said anything about world beaters???

Live and appreciate the moment. The future will take care of itself.

The way he tackled NC State’s Joly from getting a first down was very impressive.

Looks like the green slime that my 6 yo grandson plays with and gets all over the house or maybe it's just the salty tears of our future foes, crying at the thought of playing us.

Exactly what I'm saying Pops!

 

[P.O.T.S. VOL]

It seems that way. But ok! I digress. My mistake!

Our future is so bright!

Go Vols!

It's a strange way to say it, Son.

Yeah I get that sometimes ...Go Vols!

According to Heupel, we have played the 3 toughest opponents in the country. We've played against ourselves. We have a standard we are expected to play up to. It doesn't matter who is lined up across from us. So every week we're competing for our best. And our best is the best in the nation.

Who has anybody else played to this point? LSU(USC), Kentucky(UGA), Florida(Miami) and South Carolina(LSU) are the only teams in the conference who have faced a legitimate offensive team and even that is based largely on assumption thus far in the season.

McCoy has looked great so far. Gibson could also be great, but he really has not been tested so far.

You don’t get a high grade just by playing scrubs. Everyone else has played a similar (or even weaker) three-game slate to start the season, and McCoy, by some metric, has played better than any other corner in the conference.

There it is. Heupel’s statement sounds a lot like Sidney Wicks’ comment about Coach John Wooden’s talks to the great UCLA teams in that he did not recall the word “win” ever coming out of Wooden’s mouth-only the standard that they set for themselves had to be met. That, in my book, is the epitome of a great coach.

About the same quality of opponent as the rest of the SEC, right?

He reminds me of Packers CB Jaire Alexander. I think he'll be a 1st round NFL draft pick when he comes out. He's got the talent.
