Watching the game against Georgia on ESPNU is getting me fired up! Can't wait for fall camp to start on the 1st!

As a recruit, how could you watch that and not want to come here.

Amazing job by our video staff and Lawson for keeping it fresh.

Great video. Anybody catch how much Thomas was benching?

Idk if my gif worked but spoiled alert he blocked the kick

Nor should have twin walk ons, Fulmer... smh.

Nice try....but.......FAIL.

I really hope we open up the playbook this year like we did in the 2nd half against UGA. We ran so many great plays in that half. We even tried a WR pass, but Pig kept it instead of throwing.

Their is a difference some times between being country strong and weight lifting strong.I have lifted on and off for the better part of 30 yrs.My younger brother by 2 yrs has never lifted a weight a day in his life.But I promise you he can more than hold his own with me or any other weight lifter.He's worked on our family farm his entire life.So maybe Coleman is just country strong right now.

Or he's just an 18 year old kid who isn't strong at all, at least not when compared to the competition he will soon have to face.

Agree. Was in the nosebleeds that game, and saw that team gain confidence and start believing as the game progressed. Man, those kids deserved winning that game. Can't wait to hear Neyland consistently be that loud again every single home game!

Heard from a well connected buddy that OT could be an "all time bad" for the position. Doesn't sound good at all.

Doesn't sound good at all, except you are using an anonymous source. There is room for hope. :blink:

If Thomas is a phenom at RT like he seems to be, why not switch him to LT. Isn't that the more important position?

Just watched the end of the UT/UGA game from last year.....man.....what a game!! My heart hurts for Pig every time I see that fumble. Tough.

It was quite tough. But it could be worse. He could be Clint Stoerner

Word from the inside is that the tackles have a chance to be all-time bad

Do Wick and LP run in the same circles?

My man!!!!

Gives me chills every time I see Swafford spin and pose in the end zone.

I'm expecting it to be rough personally. I was calling 35+ sacks allowed after spring practice. Might back off that number some now, but not much. A key injury or two and that position gets ugly quick. Gotta keep recruiting.

Still think our improved skill players will help us overcome some of the OL shortcomings by grabbing a few more big splash plays. I'm optimistic we win 6 or 7 games, despite the OL.

 

[005]

Don't think there's any way we give up 35 sacks.

Perhaps.

I don't think he can even bench 300 pounds, currently. He'll be good eventually, but he's going to struggle early on.

 

[NochNoch]

We have a freshman that cannot bench 300 and has never played tackle
