Your Clean slate player

[Starchief13VFL]

I believe every Vol fan last year has at least one player that galled them last season. Be it play, personality, appearance, or anything. Well, it is a new year. Therefore, in hopes of improving, which player are you forgiving and presenting your personal “Clean Slate” offer to?

My Clean Slate hopeful is #5 Hadden

 

[aaronvol]

That will be everyone's pick

 

[cherokeeeVOL]

Pretty much anyone from the secondary.

He could go a long way by just keeping his mouth shut considering his propensity to get beat, followed by his inability to tackle.

I concur.

Funnily enough, for me it's Milton. Not based on anything last year but that Ole Miss game in 21 still sticks in my craw something fierce. However now that Joe is the uncontested starter, I'm willing to wipe the slate clean and be optimistic about how good we can be this year.

I remember watching Hadden when he first got on the field and thinking "he's the best player on defense." Soon thereafter, he seemed to start taking backward steps. I don't know if it's coaching (WM), overconfidence or he simply had one good game at the beginning. This year will tell I guess.

If I’m not allowed to pick hadden, I’ll go with mccollough. If he corrects the taking bad angles he’ll realize his potential. Or maybe Burrell since he didn’t play due to injury, but was a starter prior to that. But yeah we all want hadden to shut up and show out.

Looking for Hadden to have a breakout year...and if he accidently flies out of bounds while covering a USCjr receiver and knocks out the boyish Beamer, all the better.

 

[cwbytruckers]

I just want to see Hadden play and not run his mouth if he isnt backing it up

 

[sjt18]

Hadden for sure but also Milton to an extent. I know he emphasized how much he's changed since he didn't "wow" us as the starter vs BGSU.

My dream come true

If we are going with 'Clean Slate off an injury', I have high hopes for Kwauze Garland
If it's 'Clean Slate needs to step up and show up', I'm split between Mincey and Mays on the OL.
Not that either performed overly bad last season, but the OL this year of all years need someone to step up and be a very strong leader....Mays or Mincey needs to be that guy.

On a side note - when did we go out west and pluck some random, weather-worn, sun-baked, crazy-eyed, dude to be "Asst Dr of Life Skills and Character Development"...that guy looks like he would whip you rather than talk to you...

 

[iamadoc]

Heupel, cause he sucks as a play caller on offense.

 

[LordBolton]

Hadden would have been fine if his play backed up his mouth. Most of the time that was not the case.

 

[Vol865]

All of them. What you did last year doesn't matter. Bad or good.

 

[white65]

Milton running out of bounds vs Ole Miss. Proof the time heals all wounds.

It still hurts me to think about that one.

He used to coach at UT in the Fulmer days

I hope our new field goal kicker is a good kid.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

For me it’s Roman Harrison. I have been saying he will break out for the last couple of years and he hasn’t. The guy looks the part of a beast pass rusher. It’s time for him to step up and become a destructive force.

 

[bigorangepoppa]

Hadden would have been fine if his play backed up his mouth. Most of the time that was not the case.

There were times when he looked good, getting in position to either intercept, knock the ball down, or make the tackle. Other times he looked lost. Hope he can get it all together this year.
