All the excuses about the roster are out the window. If UT doesn't win the East in '16, fire Jones immediately.
You are more patient than I am. Given the current state of the East, no reason Tennessee shouldn't be in Atlanta this December.
I'm still not sold on Dobbs and don't think he'd go to one of the freshman quick enough this year if my suspicions are correct.
Agree on Dobbs, but that's mainly because he hasn't been coached up properly. None of the freshmen are gonna be able to do any better, IMO.
Even though I think this is accurate, I still can't shake the feeling that Jones may go with the freshman more quickly than logic would indicate. He seems to have an odd fetish for redshirting Dobbs.
He didnt want to go to Dobbs as a SO. over Worley. Short of Dobbs pulling a Peterman you wont see a Fr.this year, less an injury. Still plenty of questions about Dobbs, but I think hes gpod enough to win this east.
Yep. While he's playing through the gauntlet. That will be the test. I agree with others that the accuracy is a concern. But....if and only if that OL gets better, and the run game takes another step, that should help him alot. Against the good defenses he will have to be able to stretch them out with his arm, because they will go all out to stop the run. We are definitely in a better place going in to this season than we were last season at the QB position, no question.
If Tennessee's offense is defined by the Jet Sweep, I will take someone else's. Just pray for a serviceable OL.
WOW!!! Besides Bama, who do see us losing to, or has the orange tint gotten dark enough to pick us over them?
I'm not sold on Dobbs either. We certainly have the potential to make some noise this year. If our young D linemen produce as expected, the OL improves slightly, and some key players stay healthy, we might just win it this year.
