The reason I feel Dobbs arm strength is suspect revolves around the throws he makes to the outside 15+ yards down the field. I think he has to crank those throws to make them and he doesn't put much touch on the ball to create a trajectory that would allow the receiver to catch the ball... big difference in the a strength required to throw hard and throw hard accurately.

That being said he's a helluva player and as good a character guy as we've had.

People saying the offense will take off with QD at QB. I think he starts it will take a step back for sure.

You do know that this offense can be tailored to fit the QB. Last year was the first year that we actually had playmakers on offense. If we had someone to get them the ball is all we are saying. In 13, we had zero playmakers. In 14 the OL was sad.

Will there be another RB duo as good as Hurd/Kamara this year?

Fournette/Guice?
Perine/Mixon?

^Those are the only 2 that I can think of that would compare unless I'm missing someone

Fournette/Guice are DIRTY, I'm not as impressed with the Perine/Mixon combo

RB is a tricky position to predict, because so many true freshman come in and light things up. We may see a few surprises. As of now, I would not trade our Hurd/Kamara combo with anyone

Chubb and Michel are pretty legit too if Chubb gets back to 100%.

I like Dobbmady FTW. If you could only snap off their arms like G.I. Joe's and swap 'em. :)

I'm just playing, by the way. I think Dobbs has room to improve on accuracy. I would like to see him 4-6+% better this year, but I wouldn't trade his mobility for nothin...

I seriously have almost no memory of the 2007 season, despite it being my first season where I went from being a "casual" Vols fan to a more obsessive type.

Here's a fond memory from 2007: Eric Berry's 96-yard pick-6 of Tebow.

Perine is the only guy that hits the guy trying to hit him, outside of Hurd. Fournette (and Derrick Henry) are running through gaping holes before getting touch dropped on contact at the second level.

I will completely disagree with you on Fournette getting touch dropped.

I imagine the Auburn/A&M/Florida/Notre Dame DBs will back me up on this.

You're right, badly worded on my part. I guess I meant to say they are hardly touched at the line and when they do, they get dropped easily. But they are 230+ lb backs taking on tiny DB's when they get to the second level and it makes them look better than they really are.

Someone committed suicide by jumping off the Space Needle in Gatlinburg tonight. WTF.

First a helicopter crash kills 5 people. Then 2 people are found dead in a hot tub in a cabin. Now a suicide. Bad week for Sevier County.
