This year could be a treat on defense. If we can get decent linebacker play, that side of the ball could really carry us. And with a scrambling QB and two great running backs, we're built to pull close games out in the 4th. I've got kool aid in the veins right now. Can't wait for the season.
It shouldn't be too hard good LB play with what's going to be in front of them. They should stay pretty clean.
Yes, yes and more yes. The more double and triple teams the DT's take up means that is one more LB that can fill the gap and kick some ass.
I would love Barnett to go for 6 sacks vs Florida in the swamp. That Alex Brown mess needs to be reversed in the Vols favor.
I hate hate HATE that we got Alex Brown drafted. So many bad memories with Vol football. EDIT: Gaaaah, thanks for bringing that up. Now all I see is him counting his sacks on his hand after clobbering our QB for the 5th time. "nooo, we don't need to put a RB or TE on him."

I can't wait until he does this against Vandy. "Woke up today and I'm not a Commodore it's gonna be a good day!! #GoVols" -tweet by Kahlil back in January
If he plays, which seems very likely, wouldn't shock me if this happened in the first set. Either way it's only a matter of time. The dirty side of it ... what do o-linemen do to counter a dominate player?
