Vincent Dallas leaves team

He WASN'T being utilized--isn't that the issue? Wasn't he best suited for slot receiver? I can't say I know his skill set, but we should be utilizing the slot receiver and the TE more. That is one big reason why we have struggled. We don't get the ball to playmakers in space. We're doing it a little with Pig now, but we should have been doing from game 1 and doing it a lot.
 
I just have a hard time believing this is about playing time, considering our depth issues there should be plenty of time to play for everyone. Good luck VD and AP!
 
What makes you guys so holier than 82 that you can bash him for having his opinion? Maybe he is just sick of quitters. I don't personally share his opinion yet, but acting like he is a *** and you are not on this topic is hypocritical. A lot of old school guys have a problem with this generations "me first" philosophy. Thing is we don't know if that is why V.D. is doing this. He may have been told to think about his future here? Maybe the staff is looking out for both parties? Who knows outside of the Vince and the Staff?

The problem is the swiftness that people like 82 CONDEMN players without any information, let alone proof that their ACCUSATIONS are even marginally close to what the facts may be. Which are unknown until made public. If that isn't clear, let me share something. I was once accused of robbing a convenience store. I knew nothing about it until a phone call. The kicker? The robbery had happened two hours earlier in Maryland. I was in California and had been for two weeks on vacation. Know it all snots were saying they knew I was this and that, and so on. Before I even got back, they caught the guy whose first name was the same as mine so was his last name except it was spelled without two letters that mine has, yet is pronounced the same way. The good thing is, I learned who my real friends were and who were soiled diapers best avoided. Same thing with people who are so quick to judge our players without knowing a damn thing and claim to be fans of the Vols. WHAT A FORKING JOKE!

Preach it brother! Sounds like we have one of those soiled diapers in this thread :)
 
I dont have a problem with a player leaving if that is what they choose to do but to up and leave in the middle of the season and quit on your team I dont understand why cant they atleast wait till the season is over.

At the time, and apparently it remains so, we don't know the circumstances. Could be coach advised them to leave. Could be some class like maybe a required course such as statistics is just too hard for them even with a tutor. Could be they got medical news that's either too depressing or makes playing a waltz with death if they continue. Could be anything, we don't know and they don't deserved being damned on the whim of some self-righteous, egomaniac who think he's an infallible god.

We're conditioned to be that way from birth.
The media drills it into us.
Innocent til proven guilty? Hogwash and you know what I'm talking about because you've experienced it.
Usually those who have been thru hard times of some kind are a little more tolerant of other's problems.

If he is upset about not being utilized, then he should go to a team that can.

Can't knock a guy for wanting playing time. The best player to ever come out of our high school here in Jamestown was a walk on in the mid 90's at UT. He left for Tennessee Tech for exactly the same reason. He was on a depth chart behind some of the best DL and LB's of the last 20 years at UT and knew he wouldn't get to play except maybe on special teams.
 
No, he's just a 50 year old loser that is upset that his life didn't turn out the way he wanted it to. If it did, he wouldn't feel the need to talk trash about kids over the internet.

Please don't bring age into it. I know a lot of youngsters who find their only joy in life is to talk bad about others. It is not an age related problem. It is more a problem of self esteem. You know, the only way they can feel good about themselves is to talk bad about others. This will probably get me blocked by a few people but that is not a concern to me. I come on here to find out info about the team I support, not to degrade someone else. I know everyone is entitled to their opinion but there is a point to where it isn't just an opinion anymore but a down right slam (not talking about the age comment as I took that as a joke). Let's have some consideration on here please.

VQ is reporting he's not practicing with the team due to personal reasons but adds that it would be an "uphill battle" for him to return to the team...would hate to lose him. Hope he gets it all worked out.



Posey leaves and we can now have 31 signed on this recruiting class. Dallas leaves and we can now have 32 signed on this recruiting class.

The possible numbers issues that we could have in recruiting for the 2014 class are solving themselves.

This is NOT correct. Read previous posts.

Dallas is a kid from Georgia who came to UT to play for a different coach, and has been jerked back and forth between offense and defense so much that he's been passed up by younger players on both sides of the ball. I don't blame him at all for wanting to go somewhere else where he can get on the field. If of course that's what it is at all. He's only got one more year left to play football, ever, in his whole life.

It will only affect the 85 scholarship limit.

There will be others to leave before spring. The talent is upgrading and how can you blame guys who just want to play football?
 
If he finished the year he deserved the blessing of this fanbase and program to find a better situation for him but he didn't finish! So he is nothing but a selfish quitter and deserves to be black balled from this program. He had a big role and quit on his teammates.

No use for guys like him.

That's an easy answer. He is a quitter and besides its not as if he can play before next fall anyway. If playing football was important to him he would be returning KOs next Saturday!!!
