Barnett, Lewis, Vereen, vickers are 4 pieces of a DL that this program would have died for a few years back.

Add a 5star phillips and Kingbo and it looks even more impressive. Mixon has played a hell of a lot of football and has been around for a long time. Picou is in his second year in the program and should be contributing.


Even with the injuries there are plenty of pieces on that DL to be an average defense. A DC like Justin Wilcox would have killed it with that DL.

And only one of those has the size to play DT, and Vickers is serviceable and a starter, but that's it.

Yea Kongbo has just been a destroyer hasn't he? NOT! But I am not going to get into this with you. You live to get things started so you can beat the subject to death. Enjoy.

Back away, save your strength for Tony.

Who were Justin Wilcox DTs at Tenn I don't recall?

He had Malik Jackson and one really big dude, whose name I cannot recall, who ended up on an NFL roster, for a time, I believe.

McCullers?

Here you go.

Which DL you take?

2011: Jackson, Bohanon, Smith, Martin, Miller, Hood

2016: Barnett, vickers, Vereen, phillips, Lewis



Neither team had any quality depth at DT. I would vote 2016 but agree it's close.

2011: gave up 22.6 PTs a game
2016: 26.9

2011: gave up 162 yard rushing a game
2016: 216

20ll also had a terrible secondary with very young LBs.

2016, decimated LB corps and significant injuries in the secondary. You continue to disprove your point. Keep at it.

McCullers

Didn't play for Wilcox.

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

Vs. Power 5 opponents, Missouri is averaging 18.1 points per game and is giving up 31.3 points per game. Tennessee is averaging 33.5 points per game against power five opponents and is giving up 33.8.

I'd expect Something along the lines of 52 - 24 this week.

 

[volssam]

Fahr nick?

Yes. And hire Chris Poole

Back away, save your strength for Tony.

Your right what was I thinking. lol

 

[drvenner]

McCullers?

Yessir, thank you. :hi:

Getting old sucks.

 

[drvenner]

Didn't play for Wilcox.

Like I said, getting old sucks

Glad to have Sutton and Foreman back for this one.

Drew Lock looks good against bad defenses, but sucks against good ones. Combined 44-of-106, 1 TD, 3 INT against WV, Florida, and LSU. Unfortunately, we aren't on that level at the moment. Doesn't get sacked much, only 10 on the year. Hope our DL can add to that total.

On defense, the DE Charles Harris is good, and they'll pick off a dumb pass. But they can't stop the run. As long as Dobbs plays smart, we should score at will.

Not a game I'm afraid of unless Bad Dobbs shows up again.

Dobbs needs to keep eating his spinach, drinking his gummy berry juice, eating his carrots, lofting his sword to Grayskull, taking his hulk vitamins, and saying his prayers.

No more bad Dobbs.

His career spanned 4 coaches. Recruited by Fulmer, signed with Kiffin, then played under Dooley and Jones.

Dobbs just doesn't need to overthink things, like you did with this post.

 

[volfanCLT]

Dobbs will be a pro-bowler as long as his team schemes around his inability to throw a 3yd out to a wide open 6'3" receiver.

 

[volfanCLT]

Just now getting around to the board after being at the game this weekend.

I love Taylor 😂 Guy is a freak athlete, he was gaining ground on Kemp on his long TD run

Why is it so hard for some to understand how incredibly hard it is to coach a defense that has a new lineup every week? Especially in year 1 of that defense with a DC that wasn't able to bring any other coaches with him to teach his system?

Defense is all about playing your role and trusting the guy next to you knows his role. Due to know consistency at any position on the field it has led to misfits, bad alignments and miscommunication.

Name a position group besides DE that has been the same week in and week out?

jsp to Dobbs before kickoff:

"Be like this:"

Like so much in sports, the preseason hype is working against Shoop (and the rest of the team).
