Jaylen Wright leaving?

[WilcoVolsFan]

You’re killing me Smalls!

Smalls is a solid backfield blocker. If you pick up a few extra yards rushing but give it back by not picking up the blitz and get your QB killed, it a net negative.

Not everything of value shows up in the box score.

I think it would be beneficial to everyone if Wright would clarify what he meant.
Of course, he’s not required to.
Maybe it’s a strategy of some sort to get more NIL mone?

 

[Vol865]

Best RB on the team. Hope it's nothing.

 

[LadyVolette]

wow…y’all should really get rid of this thread. Ugly comments.

Not really, just that it’s broken English or slang, which it is lol

Hopefully he’s just fishing for more NIL, and gets it with us in Knoxville.

 

[JoeMiltonsAgent]

Could be getting some pull to go back to home ito Durham.

UNC isn't exactly stacked at RB but has a strong offense. Would probably be their best option day 1.

If Sampson figures out the pass blocking, I see him being the clear #1 next year.

Figured I would throw my idle, uneducated, uninformed speculation into the mix lol. Nun personal.

While I see that point, if these players are going to be pros and chase the dollar then we no longer have to treat them with kid gloves. Once they have chosen to go down that route, they are fair game for any criticism for their play or loyalty.

That would be correct. Nobody shies away from criticizing NFL players. The “college” players are pros now so the gloves are off.

 

[Delmar]

Yes, fans need to back off. Need to keep in mind these players should expect it with these cryptic tweets. Little doubt his tweets have to do with football. He’s fishing. Sometimes you catch more than you bargain for.

Yes, if players make cryptic tweets with no explanation, they should expect blowback. Just say what you mean clearly and there won’t be problems.

Be careful what you wish for - Eric Gray

1364 yds rushing, 6.4avg, 11TDs

Pretty good senior year. He finally reached his potential Hard to blame Gray for taking the money and then being forced to transfer.
Blame Pruitt/ and company for that.
Gray would have stayed (AFAIK), if it had been possible.
He is the #128 player, #10 RB in the draft according to NFL DRAFT BUZZ - Eric Gray RB Ok

Gray knew what he was doing accepting money and whatnot. Let’s not pretend like these are 10 years old kids who have no concept of right and wrong.

Lol it wasn’t that hard to figure out

Got it now. I figured it was literally some young stupid slang. I didn't think about it and got really annoyed. Regardless, I don't think anyway to know what ****ing thing meant.

AP just posted on VQ Wright is trending towards staying at Tennessee.

He’s an idiot for even thinking about jumping.

Honestly, I can't tell the difference between regular sour cream and reduced fat sour cream.

Settle down everyone. We have seen this movie before when we were REALLY GOOD. This is what happens. We have a great player that goes to practice everyday and sees the writing on the wall. Wright understands that his playing time at Tennessee is going to be limited due to others. That is not to say he is not a great talent. Wright is making a business decision. I remember a great QB, born and raised in Knoxville, whose life dream was to be the QB at Tennessee. He got that job. Then he got hurt. Once he went back to practice he understood there was no way in hell he was going to earn his job back. He decided to focus on baseball. He went on to make $161 Million in the Big Leagues. More than Greg Maddux; Griffey Jr.; Clemens and many other greats. Todd Helton knew Peyton was better. Wright knows others are better. That does not mean he will not find success. He understands that he will not be able to have a leading role with this team. I wish him well. This is a great complement to the Tennessee running back room.

Read between the lines….get it?

 

[SmokeyLives]

As reference, see Eric Gray. Next man up. If you’re leaving the house, good luck and goodbye.

 

[Rememberthelate90s]

Yep, still don't think it applies. Wright plays for us next year. Book it.

 

[Vol737]

Would rather Small leave than Wright. Plus Sampson is gonna be hard to keep off the field.

Would rather keep all three and see Sampson get more touches. This is a solid group of three that have and will continue to serve us well.

 

[sami]

I'm not sure that Sampson doesn't need to be the main guy next season, and it's possible that Wright sees the writing on the wall and wants to spend one season as the primary back somewhere before he enters the draft. If Small is coming back, then barring injuries Wright's time will be further reduced. This is just the way it's going to be moving forward, and to clutch at pearls every time it happens is kind of pointless.
