With Croom at TE where he's always belonged. Shoot. We are so stacked. Where is the weakness?

Dobbs downfield passing? Haha. I mean yeah it's not elite. But we're talking about a grizzled veteran senior QB who also happens to be one of the best running QB's in the nation. He has proven he can also make some throws. If the wide receivers come to play, Dobbs will come through. He's just not a player I'm super worried about. I'll tell you who is worried about him though... Opposing DC's.

But who knows how much we'll even need to throw deep. We've got elite RB's coming out of our ears too.

This season is gonna be awesome

On Charles Mosley...

"He is at 2nd team left guard right now. Having a solid spring. Still needs to get in better shape IMO, but he's making some nice strides."

They always say big Charles and Kahlil need to get in better shape. Those guys are huge. That's part of their strengths. Not everybody is gonna look like Croom (black Captain America).

I can't get over how good the 2015 class is. Seriously. Look at it. LOOK AT IT.

Tennessee 2015 Football Commits

Not to get all D4H here, but he's right. There are legitimately 15+ draftable players in that class.

Everyone in that class who is still on campus and not injured shows up in weekly practice reports except Miller and Lovingood, and both of those guys will play roles on the team in the future.

It's just stunning to have 90%+ of a class capable of doing something noteworthy during practice to the point where the VQ/RTI/247 guys write about them at least once a week. Even the guys who haven't fully cracked the depth chart yet.

This team is stacked. Injuries are always a concern.

I'll be looking to see if the offense can convert on those 3rd and long passing downs

Also, defense needs to get 3rd and 4th down stops. Hurt us against OU and UF last year.

Red zone TD's are crucial. Medley's inconsistency last year scares me.

DT development and depth are crucial, because so many of those failures came late in the game where we couldn't collapse the pocket, despite getting pressure on the edge. Great secondary coverage can only last so long, especially when opposing offenses are in desperation mode and more willing to sling it into traffic and let their guys go up and get the ball. Need Tuttle back badly.

I think "in better shape" applies more to endurance. Explosive one play and dead tired the next isn't a recipe for success...whether you look good or not.

It more refers to ability to play hard for a prolonged period of time before they get exhausted and their play drops off.

I agree. DT depth is the only potential hole I see on this team. Tuttle's injury and A Johnson's suspension are the only things between us a team with nothing but strengths across the board.

I have a question for those in the know! Earlier in the week there was some talk about possible commitments this week-end. Is there anything going on? If someone has already commented on this I apologize, I missed it!

Look who won the 2 QB awards at Rivals camp for 2018

Jones isn't as tall as Lawrence, but he is sure taller than 6'1' as I saw documented somewhere!

It's nice to really believe that one of those two fine young quarterbacks will be playing for the VOLS one day.
