Vereen and Mixon weren't nearly as impressive. There is a noticeable difference between those 2 guys athleticism and with guys like Kongbo, Barnett, Taylor

Were they ever both on the field at the same time? With the depth we have along the DL, there's no reason to ever have an entire "B team" out there all at once.

I didn't see it. Vereen got more reps than Mixon but neither popped off the screen at you.

That's being said, GBOV above is correct that they will be more than needed thru our 4 game gauntlet. Also, I think Vereen just didn't have a great game. He's played better in the past.

Why the hell would we want Taylor to add 30lbs and be 270lbs? There's diff types of DEs. He's an athletic freak and a pure speed rushing type. We don't need him to be that big.

He can put on 15lbs and still be as explosive as he is now. Listed at 245, not sure his actual weight.

Remember, he's only been in the S&C program a little over a year and put on 25lbs. As he gets stronger he will naturally put on more weight. His frame looks like a 255/260lb speed rusher to me. JMO

OU / OSU is going to be a tough game for me. I hate both of them so much, but I feel like I'm leaning toward OSU as the week goes on. Just hate Mixon getting away with rearranging a girl's face and how Striker acted at Neyland.

False.

The typical "ankle sprain" that occurs in basketball every day is the classic plantarflexion/inversion sprain, resulting in sprains of the anterior talofibular ligament (grade I), anterior talofibular ligament and calcaneofibular ligament (grade II), or anterior talofibular ligament, calcaneofibular ligament and posterior talofibular ligament (grade III). Typically ankle musculature can mask these injuries and add stability to the ankle joint, which is why players come back quickly from these injuries.

A "high ankle sprain" is also called a "syndesmosis sprain", which is typically caused by excessively forced dorsiflexion. These injuries take longer to heal because it tears the syndesmotic ligaments and interosseus membrane that connect the tibia and fibula, leaving the ankle joint a lot less stable than with a plantarflexion/inversion sprain.

Vereen looked pretty damn "impressive" against Bama last year! More significant in this reporter's opinion. :yess:

When in doubt, pull for the team with more losses, but I understand your hesitation.

Not buying the 'cerebral' argument on Jumper. These players are college students, not middle schoolers. They are not rolling true freshmen out there. Shoop even adjusted to the existing terminology instead of installing his own. There has been no production or indication of more upside from Jumper. I doubt there are any Vol fans that want him to do poorly. Most fans want him to play great. But he has played poorly in the past. So let another guy or two give it a shot. Otherwise it is as Volssam said, 11 on 10, but they will be lined up right. Not a good idea.

I like Taylor as a speed rusher in the 250-255 range. They've got Kongbo and Phillips for the power guys of the future. Phillips weighs more than his roster listed 259 IMO.

Yeah Phillips is a big boy. Much thicker through his legs.

Just watched all the defensive snaps.
Jumper is a lot slower than Kirk and whiffs on tackles. He is generally in the area of the football though.

I don't buy it either. I for the life me don't understand putting someone on the field that you can pretty much count on that the O-Coordinator is gonna pick on and and probably beat better than 50% of the time. Only thing I can figure is he's got some naked pictures of Butch or something.

Could we beat Florida running a triple-option offense? It's in the playbook and we know they've practiced it a bit going back to last season (and perhaps even more during closed practices). Florida would have done absolutely zero prep work for it, especially if the coaches let Dobbs sling it a bit vs Ohio.

Not saying it's even a possibility, of course, but it would be amazing if we suddenly deployed an entirely new offense for half or more of the offensive snaps vs the Gators.

Would be like a trick play that lasts for the entire game.

Just line up and play. We don't need tricks to beat them at all. They aren't as nasty on defense this year as they were last year. IMO
