Scrimmage Observations

[Todd4State]

Bro, stay off the laced weed. Every team has some sort of deficiency that doesn't mean ultimate doom. That's where coaching comes in.

I think as fans we sometimes focus so much on MSU that we forget that the other teams lose players and have question marks too.

Except for Ole Miss.**

We are going to get raped by LSU and Auburn inside with the DT's we have. Doesnt matter who we slide inside. Also makes our job at Texas A&M alot tougher. Gives Tenn the upper hand. We may be 4-4 heading into the last 1/3 of the schedule. And this is saying we hold serve vs K-St and Kentucky While being soft in the middle. Kentucky is not going to be too bad this year.

I think we?ll hold our own against the barners and the coonasses. We wont be dominant like last year but we will have talented young players. If the offense cant stay on the field then I could see them wearing us down in the second half due to lack of depth.

Can we get an official prediction from you or are you just going to make a schizophrenic post every week with a new narrative on how the year will play out so you can say I told you so no matter what happens?

Please link the Kivon Coman highlight tape that you were so impressed with which again was the original- original argument so that we can compare?

I'm sure someone on the staff can get it for you since it's not on youtube since bad players don't have a highlight tape.

I like how you are trying to devolve this into "but I know people" about a totally different topic since you are wrong about this like that will somehow make people on here think you know something and make your wrong opinion somehow relevant.

So Peters is in the nfl?? I missed it. Coman was the best we had. You gonna dog a guy who gave his life to our program?? Works both ways. I repeat coman was the best we had!! Every coach on staff agreed. Not one not two but 3 defensive coordinations agreed. So while you disagree, I'll side w them. And Peters still isn't in the nfl. I let you slide off that bullshit since the draft. Well that's over bro

it’s hilarious to think msu will have a bad dline. especially under the guy considered a top 5 dc in the nation. the state of mississippi produces big boys like no other. you’re kidding if you think we’ll ever be so weak there that that’s why we lose a game.

[bulldawg28]

Y'all can listen to me who was right, Jamal Peters wasn't isn't and never will be an nfl player. Or listen Todd. Mr self no it all on not only baseball but every sport. Who doesn't know or talk to a single person player or staff member. So Todd how many games and how many players are going to be suspended for nick gate only?? Tell everyone...... I'm sure you will follow with an eloquent, i believe or it's my guess. When 90% you don't know what you are talking about. A broken Clock is right twice a day. Carry on..
ETA Peters was an ok college player that's it. But that's the best highlights he has in 4 years. Wow. Just wow.

Peters was a natural at safety. He was playing out of position imo.

[Homedawg]

LOL- you can't even keep your own argument straight. That happens when you move goalposts and are proven wrong Will James.

You certainly haven't had to "listen to my bullshit" as much as the entire board has had to listen to your weekly reminder that our DT's are an issue. Of which I am 100% certain was 1/5 as many times and probably less than as many times as you have called out our DT's.

In fact the only time I ever brought Peters up was after you insisted that he sucked- and made you look silly repeatedly. I'm sorry the guy had a really good career here. And apparently someone with the Colts agreed with me- and dude I will go with whatever the NFL says over you. Although we all know that you think you know more than any of them- including Bill Bellichick. At the expense of a player that was injured no less.

The fact of the matter is you are one of the worst football posters on here. But way too narcissistic to realize it.

Well I'll just take my toys and go home the flute player told me I was a bad poster***. Haha

Body wise agree. But he never comprehended the coverages whole there. Now maybe, if we had stuck him there and left him there, maybe. But he had his shot there

See this is how things get spun. Bad DL?? No. Major drop at dt. Yes...now we will benefit from it in two years. But now, which is what is important, it's going to be a struggle.

It won’t be all peaches and cream but to think we’d struggle with KSU, UK, or Tenn because of DL is down right laughable. Shows that coach34 needs to turn off the playstation and his 34 year dynasty and learn how the real world of recruiting and football works. I’m not saying we’ll have the best DL again but we won’t have slouches.

Is this the same staff that started Zach Jackson and ran Brandon Holloway up the middle?

Which three DC's? Because Buckley (who played CB in the NFL) found a way to get both Coman and Peters on the field at the same time in 2016. And made a pick in his first game about a week after switching over to CB from safety after Dan's BS play the upperclassmen idea finally blew up after South Alabama? So Sirmon felt like Peters was good enough to get on the field in 2016. The only other DC that Coman and Peters both played for was Manny. Collins left before Peters signed. Every coach agreed with you- and yet started him for three years including one staff that went out of their way to change his position to get him on the field?

Coman "gave his life for our program"? Was he killed during one of our games? Please. I can say with 100% certainty that had Coman had an injury that potentially ended his career the last thing on my mind would be to run to Elitedawgs and crow about how "I was right" the whole time. Especially less than a week after ISID post basically telling people to stop doing what you are trying to do right now.

And yes- Peters was in the NFL. Not long- but longer than the guy who you claimed was "better". Make of that what you will. The fact that you "let it slide" until the guy just so happens to get hurt while playing in the NFL says a lot about how "right" you were the whole time. Among other things.

The board would definitely be better if you took your toys and left. But that's your call.

You don't really contribute much other than saying "you know/hang out with people"....and then don't provide any tangible information that's specific to the situation. Which doesn't particularly impress anyone.

[Todd4State]

Saying that our DT's will take a step back is basically the most low hanging fruit take anyone can have about our football team at this time.

When you contribute one thing of insight, that people don't know on this board. I'll gladly step away. Until then I'll continue. Thanks dude.

Which is more insight than you provide.

Didnt UT have 6 OL quit since last season?

[timotheus]

The UT O linemen are mostly injuries but yes they are down 6 of em. They have lost some DL also.

[Cowbell]

We are going to get raped by LSU and Auburn inside with the DT's we have. Doesnt matter who we slide inside. Also makes our job at Texas A&M alot tougher. Gives Tenn the upper hand. We may be 4-4 heading into the last 1/3 of the schedule. And this is saying we hold serve vs K-St and Kentucky While being soft in the middle. Kentucky is not going to be too bad this year.

You obviously haven?t been following the o-line situation at LSU. They are likely to be less experienced across the board than we are on the D-line by that time.

[Cowbell]

See this is how things get spun. Bad DL?? No. Major drop at dt. Yes...now we will benefit from it in two years. But now, which is what is important, it's going to be a struggle.

He actually has a good point. The D line is one cohesive unit and I expect our ends to make up for lack of experience inside. You can’t claim the DT situation is going to get us killed without agreeing that our online is bad as a whole.

The Vols OL is being held together by duct tape and glue right now. C'mon man. That makes this whole post suspect to what you actually know about football.
