'21 TN OLB Junior Colson (Michigan commit)

Lewis, Willis and Eason are inside guys. There’s speculation that Crouch is going to move inside as well. He is more athletic and more of a gamer than French so we will see.

We are going to have an incredible young rotation at Linebacker in the 2021 season.

Favorite D alltime 85 Bears, I thought they were going to kill some QB's. I remember them hitting a Dallas QB (D White I think) and I hollered and told the wife "I think they broke his freakin' neck" I LOVE some D and can't wait to see the hits.

From my experience, it really depends on the company and level you are seeking early in your career.

I worked for divisions of GM and Walt Disney Co. Degrees from a Stanford, Northwestern, or any of the Ivy Leagues definitely gave you a foot in the door for the higher positions/better pay and benefits.

He would fill a role that Crouch, Eason, and French don't. He's more of a McDonald from last class which he is probably better than

I kinda got high hopes for McDonald. I know I read somewhere that he might be the best out of the M3 eventually.

I agree. I think he gets overlooked and viewed as a offer to get the other two, but McDonald was going to be playing in the SEC regardless of the other 2.

I just view him as OLB that can play in space and guard against the pass. Almost a big safety. From what I read about Colson he is a similar player with how he started off as a receiver but grew into a OLB.

The loudest roars I have ever heard in Neyland were big defensive plays. One that really stands out is Reggie White meeting that LSU running back just as he was taking the hand off.

one of the loudest i ever heard it in fairly recent memory was 2012 vs UF. But it ended quickly as we quit in the 3rd. But up to that point that place was insane. I think Gameday was there.

What Wilber Marshall did to Joe Ferguson is a federal crime these days.

Former Bills QB ? Wilbur was a beast, tho. Didn't he get another ring with the Redskins ?

That season he was quarterbacking Detroit. Marshall sacked him so hard he lost consciousness and never returned that season iirc. Yeah Marshall signed as a restricted free agent with the Redskins and they coughed up two first rounders. Which we turned into all time greats Wendell Davis and Brad Muster. 😒 That year with the Bears was his pinnacle. Vince Tobin used 4-3 OLB’s as read and react contain as did most 4-3 schemes like the Redskins. Remain convinced he’d have been HOF as a 3-4 edge.

Isn't Bucksnortvol involved in training athletes? I noticed he liked the post saying don't want, don't need. ??

Speaking of '85, what about the D stuffing Bo Jackson and then #1 Auburn. Crowd was incredible.

But loudest I ever heard was that '92 Florida game in torrential downpour. (Freak actually mentioned this game 3 weeks ago.) Heath Shuler hits Mose Phillips out in the right flat and he takes it 66 yards. Our seats are between the 35 and 40 in Section C so the whole thing happens right in front of us. A friend of mine was in the end zone that Mose ran to and it was raining so hard they couldn't see the beginning of the play, but they could hear the crowd exploding as it became apparent it was going to be a big play. Said it was like the crowd was doing the wave on steroids as Mose would come into view. Then later Spurrier runs a fake punk from inside his own 30 in total desperation and we stuff it.

It rained so freaking hard. We had the artificial turf with those huge drains behind the benches and they couldn't handle the water flow. The harder it rained, the louder the crowd got. Almost like a monsoon. (But there is nothing to equal a real monsoon, I was in the Philippines during monsoon season and there's nothing like that. Would be sitting in the cockpit waiting to taxi out and couldn't even see my own wingtips. Would just have to sit there until it quit because you couldn't see above minimums for takeoff.)

Mose Phillips was teaching at Hillsboro High School in Nashville when I was there (between '05-'08). He was a really nice guy and liked by everybody. He was coaching at Hillwood High School the last I heard, but of course that was 12 years ago.

He's one of my all time favorite Vols. Always gave his best. You need to watch the 1992 game at South Carolina where we lost but not because of him. He put that team on his back culminating in a catch and run late in the game where he ran through 8 SC players before he scored. We went for 2 to win rather than tie (strange for Majors who usually was willing to take the tie) and Little Man Stewart was stuffed. So that effort is forgotten, but if we had won it would be considered one of the greatest plays in Tennessee history.

He's one of my all-time favorite Vols. The TD he scored against uSC that gave us a chance to win, the year we lost after Majors came back, is one of the greatest runs ever.

Edit: @WBO knows what I'm talking about.

If Mondon commits to us, then is Colson even a take at that point? Feel like we have other needs outside of a 5th LB in this class.
