Can you just imagine how many sacks DB would have gotten in his career if the officials had called holding as they should and had there been better DT's to reduce the double teams? He is going to be paid come April. Still hope the Titans take him.

I've been wanting the Titans to draft him even tho I wasn't sure where he would play in a 3-4. I'm now more convinced than ever he can be a great 3-4 OLB.

It was actually funny. He looked for #9 on every play. If he saw him within 5 yards he was running away or throwing the ball as fast as he could.

It was funny and frustrating at the same time lol. DB would ALMOST get there and the QB was like nuhuh I'm ditching this ball.

It's like there is one set of rules for him and another for everybody else. I know I am a homer about him. However, I watched Reggie and now I have watched DB at the same age. DB is better than Reggie was in college and back then Reggie did not have to deal with the holding DB does because the rules were tougher on the O-line in terms of use of hands. Reggie grew bigger and more powerful in the NFL and was just the best. DB is a different body type and style so it may not translate as great in the NFL as Reggie. But the crap DB has put up with at this level would be all over ESPN if he played for one of their pets.

I didn't get to see RW because of my age, but it is a shame how much OL have been able to hold Barnett.

Nah man I think everyone appreciates greatly what Barnett is and what he did.

He's an all time great, easily starting DE on an all time Vols team.
There's no under appreciating that

I love Barnett, but it is really hard to give him the nod over Adkins. Adkins is a top 5-6 DE of all time no matter the team. Barnett needs to do what he did at UT in the NFL for a while before he bumps Adkins to the 2nd string.

This is what they did as Vols though.

I'm not talking about NFL production.
I'm talking about on the field at Tennessee.

Both all time greats.


Look forward to watching Barnett for a long time in the league.

You can't compare Barnett to Adkins--totally different eras. How many passes did they throw on average, per game, in the 1950s?

Just got home from the game. Not sure what they showed on TV but the scene at the game when he got the record was amazing. Glad I got to witness it firsthand with my son.

Side note: their QB wanted nothing to do with DB in the second half lol. Throwing it in the dirt almost as soon as the ball was snapped.

Did you go to the VolWalk?

Kinda funny how Sutton got NO passes yesterday. Former NFL coach left him alone by any means necessary.

Threw at him once in the second half on a play that Cam had smothered IIRC.

Hopefully another pick of the Titans to go with DB. They could use a quality d-back that is also a strong PR. Time for Mariani to retire.

We did go to the Vol walk. Wasn't quite as much excitement for it this time. Was still a good experience.

So this was my first VOLS bowl game. I've been to the music city bowl 2 times before because I got a free ticket and its 2 blocks from my office. I didn't notice before because the VOLS weren't playing but is it always just one big advertisement and production?? It was very annoying.

NOTE to music city bowl. Let the bands play! It's a college football game.

The return speciality is what will get him drafted

Amazing how much difference some of our guys being healthy made. Cam, DKjr and Foreman being healthy was huge.

I'm such a homer and I know it can't happen but I would love the Titans to take all our guys this year lol. If DB9 is there when they pick early in the first and they don't take him in not gonna be happy. He seems like exactly what Robinson is looking for though.
