We spent on the D after having a horrible year. We could have spent big on QB but Defense likely suffers. The other QBs we could have gotten were unproven. Why pay for a unproven guy when you are paying for a high ceiling QB. One you believe has a very bright future.
Thank you! Everyone including some of the most revered vol fan accounts on here said they would be happy to just go 8-4. One loss and all the sudden everyone becomes football gurus.
My least favorite part of football season is all off season people predict Tennessee to go 9-3 or 8-4 or maybe even 7-5. Then the first loss happens and everyone acts like the expectation was 15-0 lol
Seen a lot of people talk about the offense being “vanilla” and that it hasn’t been good in years like everyone forgot about last season. Every offense looks vanilla when the QB doesn’t know what he’s doing and also is running for his life. Heupel didn’t forget offense. Nobody is talking about this if Faizon hits his open WRs when he did have time. The offense itself isn’t the problem. Not having a backup plan at QB for Joey and keeping Elarbee is the problem.
Yes you take this season every time. He is a TRUE freshman QB. Most folks (fan base included) had us going 7-5 /8-4 until they saw the kid play and then ramped expectations up. It takes at least 1-2 years for a QB to develop in the Power 4.
Finally someone that saw the problem. O-line play was not great but I watched Morris make it work. We should have rolled with the hot hand. It would have helped the passing game out a ton.
Got Trump so far down your throat you don’t even know she’s only doing all this to try to secure a pardon for her brother. You should really look his case up.
@orangejuice_865@whosjeezy Again he had bad season and injuries played apart in it but film don’t lie bad reads and not dropping deep enough is pass coverage have been consistent issues for AC since day 1. The potential is there but just hasn’t tapped into it.
AC is decent not a 1st to 2nd round talent. Lacks in pass coverage even pre injury. He will look better next year with more athletic pairings next to him. Him and Telander play to similar to pair well together.
Not talked about enough…Ethan Davis is going to be a weapon next season. He’s a mismatch every time he’s on the field.
Injuries slowed his start, but if the last 5 games are any indication of next year, he should come off the draft boards real early!
Lewis/Bishop are RB1/2(interchangeable) . Boo is staying at STAR. Farooq and Beasley are two deep at safety. Colton Hood will start only if McCoy isn’t ready to go. Spillman will split time with Telander.
That alleged $30M is including rev sharing estimates. We will literally have the same rev amount. But I can tell you Nike or Adidas can affect recruiting
@VOLBOYx More money means better players means more success means more money. The Buckeyes set the line at around $23M last year. Texas is talking $30M. I encourage Danny White to get the most money he can from any apparel contract.
Hendo was trying to be fringe/possible top three finalists and Cam was a locked in top three who was actually in spot to potentially win. Two totally different scenarios. Context matters
