'18 TN DE Emmitt Gooden (Tennessee signee)

[BigOrangeFanatic]

Badly need Solomon eligible now. Simmons I think now will get a lot of action this year.

Emerson is another one we need to stay healthy and see some production from this year.

I have very little faith those 3 can get the job done. Even with all 4 I think it’s a weak part of this team

Simmons was going to log extensive snaps anyway imo...this merely accelerates that timetable. Also Savion Williams was mentioned as a rotational option before they started realizing what they had in Simmons and he was a redshirt option. Expecting big surprises from Emerson (he’s due) and Harris.

I have prepared myself.

No doubt those guys are going to have to contribute. I just don’t see them as being ready to get us to the 8-9 win level

K. Gooden was going to ensure that we did? Damn! Really hope he’s ok now!

I figured you’d get argumentative really quickly.

I’ll invite you to look back at my post regarding the DL. I’ve been saying all along this was already our weakest position group. It’s even worse without gooden or Solomon and just a woeful bad weakness without both

I completely agree with Simmons and Emerson. This will be Emerson’s first year playing. Redshirted last year and was still coming back from his injury his HS senior year. My biggest concern with Simmons was his fitness level, but based on everything said so far he seems to be impressing everyone with how well he moves 340lbs. They’re both strong af and Emerson was a top 100 player. No reason for anyone to doubt him

Gooden worth 3-4 wins? Quit ducking.

The curse lives on?

 

[swchandler1988]

Well, i remember the last d lineman from Nashville who had to play as a freshman (obviously just trying to be positive)

I should have said something about John Henderson since he and Simmons are both from Pearl Cohn. Opportunity missed

I think Jg is the only player clearly worth wins.


If Solomon and Gooden are both out we go from a 8-9 win team to a 6-7 win team. I think those two collectively are worth one win.

Who knew that the laughing at rivals players tearing their ACLs would come back to haunt us.

Had no effect...and who was “laughing”?

Think he’s referring to me actively recruiting (still) that Jaydon Hill re-tears his ACL.

Yeah cosmic sky fairies and karma turned that to this. K

We'll see if Pruitt recruits can handle this adversity better than Jones recruits did in the past.
