Henry & Dobbs with (hopefully) more starters back should be able to knock off the Jags.

Henry & Dobbs with (hopefully) more starters back should be able to knock off the Jags.

The starters will be back for about 3 series and get injured again. Just how the last two years have gone for the Titans

This Worthy kid at Texas needs to come here and become Hyatt 2.0. He has all the speed. Just needs to hit the jug machine all offseason under the guidance of Pope.

 

[Woodlawn VOL]

Henry split time with Jamal Lewis and Travis Stevens. Different times. Fulmer kept us stockpiled at RB

Hurd split time with an All-Pro running back in Alvin Kamara

Hurd was nowhere near the running back Lewis or Henry were. Not even close.

Penix needs to stay out of the gym, overthrowing by double digit yards almost every deep shot

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Didn’t get to watch the game, how did Dobbs look? Stat line looks decent even though they lost.

 

[JT3]

It's my birthday and I think I'm intoxicated.

Naw you didn't misspelled anything. Take at least 3 more shots.

 

[JT3]

Damn, Dobbs should have ran that one

He hardly ran and the Titans didn't call any QB designed runs. Would imagine their will be several called next week though.

Didn’t get to watch the game, how did Dobbs look? Stat line looks decent even though they lost.

He looked pretty good, considering everyone else on the team looked terrible. The RB looked alright sometimes. The wrs looked terrible. Drops everywhere. The OL was non-existent.

I cannot in good faith bring myself to support a publication that employs someone that sells black market cigarettes to elementary school kids.

Times are tough man. Gotta make a living somehow

@Enki_Amenra and others - this is why I hate betting on sports. I had Malik Davis as part of my single game parlay.

O/U for Malik Davis tonight was 39.5 yds. He hit 39, and didn’t see the field again. They played Zeke late in a meaningless game. Really annoying.

In the portal, look for Tennessee to host Dont’e Thornton in early next week around the 4th. He has been talking to the Vols a good bit the last week. The Miami Hurricanes are also interested in Thornton but he has a strong appreciation for the top offense in college football and we believe he prefers Rocky Top in our opinion.

Miami transfer offensive tackle John Campbell is also supposed to be in town around the 4th. Campbell is a longtime friend of Joe Milton and there lies the tie to the Vols. Tennessee needs more help on the tackle front and the veteran would provide a real anchor on the edge of the offensive line.

South Carolina transfer Marshawn Lloyd is supposed to be coming to Knoxville next weekend. Southern Cal has expressed interest in him along with Maryland and Georgia. The real question is the interest from Georgia. Based off people we have spoken with, the interest varies. Lloyd is someone that has potential to make the running back room better but landing him in our opinion could cause others in the room to look around.

Arizona State transfer Omarr Norman Lott continues to have good dialogue with Rodney Garner. We could see him visiting next week as the Vols look to add continued depth along the defensive line.

North Texas tight end Jake Roberts isn’t scheduled to visit and as of late Thursday night, we aren’t sure that will happen.

This surprised me. Dobbs put it on them a lot. Almost like the receivers didn’t expect the ball to reach them.

Ask about the Memphis TE that entered the portal today. Is he someone we might pursue?

 

[tnvols72]

Been at the ER with my husband all day. He had another episode last night where he can’t remember the day or events. Last night he couldn’t remember if he turned on the shower or got in, nothing about Christmas or that our son was in rehab. Then he had a seizure on me this morning. Lots of tests but we’re not able to do an MRI to see if there were mini strokes. Everything was fine except his sugar dropped really low while there. Doctor’s appointment next week. Y’all be praying please.

Praying in Jesus name.

 

[KB5252]

Yeah Dobbs with Henry would be a far better situation, but just hoping Dobbs has a good enough showing they ditch Malik

I doubt they ditch Malik. He's a cheap backup you don't have to overpay for....... Unless you think you can get something out of him but I'm not sure who wants to take on a multi year project.

 

[UTK]

Dobbs played well enough to win job for at least the rest of the year.

Marshawn Lloyd isn't worth it if his addition causes one of our backs to leave

I thought they were saying it might cause one of Georgia's RBs to leave. The wording was confusing.

But Lloyd might be worth it, depending on who it caused to leave.

 

[Weezer]

Need to find a #1 CB in the portal. That's a hard ask for a freshman to come in and be that lockdown guy.

Terrance Brooks for Texas playing pretty well in this bowl game. True freshman but wasn't a day 1 starter.

There isn't any Sauce Gardners in the college football right now. Need a solid cover corner and a freshman could be the answer. I do think we take a corner in the portal tho.

Thornton: Yes
Campbell: No
Lloyd: Yes & No
Lott: I'm fine with it, don't really NEED help on the DL, imo
Roberts: Yes, but no visit or anything sucks

See if we can find a better OT, but honestly, I wouldn't be mad at Campbell. Don't need Lloyd, would be a nice get, rather use the spot elsewhere though.

Hoping a DB portal guy is on one of these New Years bowl teams

Roberts news is disappointing, if true. May be a result of Warren leaning strongly about coming back…or other options that aren’t announced or apparent.

 

[Hardy]

Anyone here in Miami?

If they really want him, they need to go for it. You don’t build your team scared. Just never saw him as vital or game changing.
