Recruiting Forum Football Talk XXVII

[Ron Swanson]

"The injury bug has bitten Tennessee a bit this week. Josh Smith and Darrin Kirkland Jr are both out tomorrow with ankle injuries.

As others have said today, we look for Justin Martin to be very limited as he got banged up later in the week. As for Malik Foreman, in talking to multiple people, it doesn't appear Foreman will be available on Saturday.

Look for Marquill Osborne to get some opportunities in the nickel on Saturday. He's really come on in practice this week and he's elevated his game a good deal. His snaps increased against Virginia Tech and they may again this week.

As for the offensive line, we continue to hear strongly that you will see a heavy dose of Jack Jones early with Coleman Thomas at right tackle. Although Thomas has had a heavy wrap on his ankle this week the expectation is that he will go."

Why keep playing Coleman when he clearly isn't game ready? It's pure stupidity.

Anyone know where that thread about "Last Chance U" was? I finally got around to watching it, and finished it last night.

Was Ollie and the other DT in the game for Nicholls against UGA?

Thanks very much. Couldn't find anything in my search.

Haha buy a cat

I used to have two. We live in the country and so stuff does get in but they would take care of it. THEN we'd have to chase them all over the house to get the mouse or whatever else they caught and throw it outside.

I think I'll put an order in for about 500 after this incident!

I'm a little slow sometimes so maybe I am missing your point here.

If this is a dig at me then....

It was just a reference to my meme a few posts ago about jumper being tony balogna. But hey, thanks for ruining my day! ................... Buddy!

Get ready for the offensive line to dominate with JJ in and go 95 yards in 20 seconds, and then JJ to immediately sub out and never play again.

Makes zero sense.

*looks at chart*

That is correct.

Coleman Thomas played damn well at RT. Light years better than Richmond who would be out man out. We better hope that is the move made and quickly

 

[Catbone]

Good to see the injury bug hit a week before FL,GA,Tamu, and Bama. Vols gon Vols smh.

 

[volfanCLT]

Excited to see Marquill get a chance. Should see more of him and more Byrd. Might even see Buchanan early too if Martin is a no go.

Think Byrd scores his first TD this week.

It's a good thing it's Ohio this week. I'm pretty excited to see more Osborne and Byrd. JMO though.

All except Kirkland will play next week me thinks

 

[volssam]

Hopefully the magic defense Shoop mentioned last week has to do with a Magic Mike.......LB

 

[volfanCLT]

My man.

Get that man in some space!

I hope it is for 2 to 3 series in which we score touchdowns on all of them. Then, if we see that combination works great, pull Coleman out of the game and let him rest his ankle.

Butch is teaching CT and the rest of us resiliency.

He's been injured and can't move well at C, so let's have him play RT instead. :crazy:

Negabone gonna negabone. Most likely, everyone except Kirkland is precautionary, so that they are fully healthy for the four-game stretch.

 

[Catbone]

You're probably right tbh

 

[Orange And Garnet]

All except Kirkland will play next week me thinks

I think so too

 

[GoBigOrangeVols]

If this were UF week and not Ohio week, I think we'd see more of these "banged up" players suiting up and playing.

We have good depth, although some of it is inexperienced. This is a good chance for those talented young players to gain valuable reps.
