Is going to kick ass this year and save Butch's job. The Shoop hire is going to pay off. We start the year 6-0.
People are highly optimistic about the defense. The secondary has about 10 guys that could start and the dline looks good to great every day. Linebackers still scare the shit out of me though, outside Kirkland.
At least with the linebackers we have a bunch of guys that have played a lot and you have some talented young players like Ignont and Bituli
I purposely burned my eyeballs yesterday so I don't have to watch UT football anymore. That's how little I care now.
we are a couple plays away from seeing Jumper and McDowell trying to make plays and watching the opposing team creating a mismatch with ease. Ignont will remind you of the good ole days of our lb's when he gets on the field, vs what we saw last year with lbs grabbing a runner 4 yards downfield with zero penetration or ability to read and make a play. I'll also say I realize Kirkland has been injured and had to play early but I haven't seen what everybody talks about with him. He's not a Wilson or Raynoch. Not sure who to compare him to right now, but he needs a big year.
Seems like we've been hearing about the talented young guys every year. Kirkland has been the only one that can play.
they look slow to see something and scared to make a mistake to me, which makes them get blocked easier or make a mistake anyway. Never seen our lbs let blocks get on them and get pushed back as easy as recently. Only JRM seemed to see something and disrupt it.
Do y'all realize Evan Berry and Elliot Berry are the same exact size? If Evan can't crack the rotation at safety why not outside linebacker? Still would rather have him on offense.
