Lennon Creer! Great news but I will have to to spell out his name to my 84 year old, hearing impaired, die-hard, Vol Fan dad the first time he enters the game an Bob Kessling anounces "Creer in the Vols backfield"!

Way too predictable. You are preaching Johnny ball, run, run, pass, punt. We need to go back to the days of the Heath Shuler offenses, 5 wide and let it fly. We also had a good running game then too.


Please, Please, Please go back to the days of the Heath Shuler offenses!

Coker didn't produce anything last year? Wow... I don't even know how to respond to that. Actually, yes, I do. Let's see... 696 rushing yards, 6.4 avg, 5 TDs, 168 receiving yards, TD. I say again, he was a redshirt freshman.

Arian Foster produced more than 800 rushing yards during his freshman campaign, and was never completely healthy last season. Hardesty is a freak athlete, and has shown glimpses of what he can be.

Creer will get his chance, but there's no way he breaks that rotation during his true freshman year.

If you're implying that creer isn't better than hardesty then why are we even getting excited? I expect creer to see ample playing time. Hopefully the coaches can find a role for "happy feet" hardesty. It isn't running back.

Really, while trying to play a season less than a year removed from major reconstructive knee surgery you are convinced that Hardesty is not destined for playing RB? Excellent evaluation.....

I have seen nothing from hardesty that suggests that he will be a top tier running back. Did I miss something?

How about that 43 yard run against Cal where he had 5 guys draped on his back and still managed to score. Yeah I'd say you missed that.

Listen, I sincerely hope that you are right. I know that he was a stud in high school, he seems like a great kid, and I would love for him to shine at UT. I don't have an anti-hardesty agenda, I just don't think he was all that great last year. If it was the knee injury, and he's better next year, then I will gladly admit that I was wrong.

It would seem like a knee injury would keep you from wanting to bounce around...and instead just run forward to avoid strain on the knee ligaments...but he did just the opposite...

Was it not that kind of knee injury or am I missing something? Bouncing around behind the line until he was tackeled seemed to be his biggest problem all year. It was almost like he thought every run had to be like his great Cal run...like he thought all he had to do would bounce it around and find that hole every time

im not saying hes going to be great either but it is very hard to go out and play good while trying to protect your knee.

he did, but UT needa a guy who can pick up tough yards maybe 3 or 4 yards per carry so that we can be deadly running or throwing the ball, and u cant honestly sit here and tell me that Coker produced that last year

it doesn't have to be one single back that can do this...we are already deep at RB with our curren trio....it will take him some time to get in the rotation, but i think he'll be just fine as he gets older and some experience.

Among them were LaMarcus Coker and Arian Foster.

yep. depth is key in this day and age.

To say Percy Harvin is the reason the Gators won the national championship is probably the most inaccurate message that has ever been conveyed regarding college football.

i think the D had more to do with it than anything. thruout the season, their D was the main factor in most all their games, against quality opponents.

the NC game, that was the best offensive game FL has played in 5 years.

and as for Mclaran (sp?) he's taking a trip to Bama, but according to govolsxtra article, it's a "vacation" and when asked about his commitment to UT, "no doubut i'll be vol".

so take that for whatever it's worth.:thumbsup:

i agree knee injuries are the worst. i dislocated my knee playing high school basketball and popped it back into place. after having it drained it took it 6 months to feel 100%. i didn't even tear anything. i couldn't imagine.

That sounds like both hardesty and Foster. and sometimes Coker.

Hopefully Creer is the type of back that will hit the hole hard and grind out yards even when there isn't anything there.

That's what I liked about Travis Henry, that dude could fall forward for 3 yards with 7 guys hanging on him.
