'25 Northwestern Transfer OL Josh Thompson

[Tennessee Golfer]

That could be a disaster.

It would be a disaster for any team if they lost their first two centers.

 

[tn4elvis]

Hurt way too often. He goes down on every PAT.

I think it was Jackson Lampley who use to do that after every extra point. I don’t mind a big ugly getting a little tv time but come on.

That could be a disaster.

Or a revelation. Prefer not to find out through trial by fire, but once upon a time, players played early and well.

I hope he gets lots of experience next year……

Against UAB, New Mexico State, and ETSU.

 

[DaddyChad]

We’ve had many go down after PAT. I don’t know if we can count that as being injury prone or not.

Sham’s definitely the lineman with the most drama classes.

 

[NighthawkVol]

I can’t tell which ones of you are kidding about the post PAT “injuries.”

Many still haven’t figured it out. Which is amazing.

Skoronski has gotten a lot bigger this season too

The chatter was it slowed down the game to give us a rest.

I’m shocked and appalled we would resort to such tactics to give the defense a rest.

Seriously though everytime the defense generates a TO and the offense scored quickly you knew it was coming and damn near always was going to be Sham.

And then listen to the announcers feign genuine concern each and every time as if it were the first time they'd seen us pull that stunt.

And Lampley the last 2 years. And Davis in 2021. Heupel has been doing it since he arrived at UT.

And the funny thing is, it always goes on long enough for Heupel to walk out and “check on” the player. Then, as soon as Heupel says something to him (probably, “okay, that’s long enough”), the “injured” player gets up.

Yeah you would think he would alternate guys out that do it but I think he’s sort of telling the NCAA FU with it as well.

Yeah I don’t think he’s trying to hide it. I’m sure it’s a joke in the locker room

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

Totally fine with Perry starting at RT, but if we land Moe, Thompson and keep Karic we would probably have the best starting OL in the country.

But I’m assuming Moe or someone else is a contingent on if Karic leaves or stays.

Heard
Karic
Satterwhite
Moe
Thompson

Would be absolutely nuts

Unless someone knows something I don’t Karic is out of eligibility

 

[BelievetheHeup2022]

Depends on if Sanders and Warren are not playing tackle. Depending on how we do in the portal I could see Warren getting a look inside at guard this year if he loses the battle to DSJr just to get your best 5 on the field. It's going to be interesting to see which of Heard or Sanders makes the move to RT.

Not that interesting, Heard isn’t moving to RT.

Applying for a medical redshirt. Likely to get it. That’s the thing we know that you don’t.

Doubt they speed the process up for us either.

We knew about Pili’s pretty quick.

He’s back?

 

[NighthawkVol]

He’s back?

No. I was taking about last year.

It’s a double edged sword. If the league comes after Heupel about the fake injuries then they have to enforce it on other teams as well. We’ll just take advantage of faking injuries, like all the other teams do to us, until it’s fixed.

So when does this guy get into town?

Tuesday was the plan I believe
