Give the man praise. OL is fine.

Thus far.

Little bit of healthy argument never hurts though.

Ridiculous. Can’t even get in the top 2. He’s garbage and should be benched immediately.

I thought he was second based on 25 carries. He is only 16 yds behind the leader based on 25 attempts which is a good minimum for two games.

Wright gets more than is there. Small does not.
Wright falls forward. Small does not.

Small is a good player who does all of the little things right, and he almost always gets what is there. Wright is more explosive, and is now also doing all of the little things right, which is why he earned the starting spot. Small isn’t some bum he’s averaging 6.2 yds per carry so far this year.

The key to this season. Need to win the run game battle to win the game this year. That and improved defense should keep us in a good place record wise.

You are correct. Small has been a blessing and has gotten better each year.
Buutttt, does he give anyone else Devrin Young vibes? It's like he tries so hard sometimes that he forgets to stay upright. In so many cases where he should break off a long TD or gainer, someone will hit him with an arm and he goes straight down. It's almost like an expectation that he's getting tackled, so he just goes with it. It's like he's nearly elite with a load of long gainers, but something always happens. Remember him falling untiuched v LSU on a possible TD. Saturday 1 arm to shoulder stopped a long TD.

Devrin Young was that way. Would fly up in kickoffs but 1 hand touch and he'd go rolling. Jabari runs super hard, hits with all his small frame can, has a sick dead leg move. But, I just think he has a mental expectation of being tackled on every play that has kept him from being a superstar.

Just my $.02 after 3 years of watching. Here's to this post aging horribly starting Saturday.

My Dad and I were discussing the same thing. I don’t think it’s mental though, and I do think it’s a balance issue.

Considering the level of competition, it's surprising that anyone is ahead of him.

I mean both of those options are on the shorter side but that’s the end of the comparison. DY was like 5’8” 170 and couldn’t fight through a tackle. You’re severely underrating Jabari. He’s a little taller but 30-40 pounds heavier and much tougher to bring down on first contact. No he doesn’t always break long runs but he’s a hell of a lot tougher to bring down than Young was.

I think Jabari is good at hitting the hole and running through initial contact. It’s when he gets to the second level that the difference between him and J. Wright really shows. Jaylen seems to have an extra gear Jabari doesn’t have, he runs violently, like his feet are hungry to gobble up more turf.

That said Jabari is a very solid player and as a Vol fan I’m grateful we have him.
