most of what you all say makes alot of sense, but the fact that we have so many new personnelcan’t help but scare the daylights out of our opponents.there will still be al saunders some where in our offense, but nobody knows stan draytons additions to it. i’m excited for something new and un-ainge like.go vols

we may miss cutcliff. we only gave up 4 sacks because cutcliff had ainge throwing after a 2 to 3 second drop. tenn. only had one pass play over 50 yards. the fact that crompton can scramble may help the situation. if you cant run, you cant run play action. we will see how they have developed in the third game. i dont see ucla or uab beating them. vinson will be the sleeper. he looked good in the bowl game.

I agree with Carroll here – the OL was pretty average in run blocking. It wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t good. A lot of reaching in their run blocks.

nick. i wasnt referring to pass blocking. foster picked up 1193 yards. this must have been against lesser quality teams.he didnt do it against fla., ala.,or s.c.. that also is over 14 games and a lot of overtime stats. it was just my opinion after watching the spring game that they dont run block well. pass block .yes. this was also against #2 defense. maybe they will get better in fall. only scott was finishing his block consistently. tenn. running plays take a while to develope and blockers must hold and finish block. they do seem to have the ability, i didnt see it in spring game.

This is the best line in college football, I don’t know what your seeing, but every starter is coming back from a line that not only paved the way for a 1,000 yard rusher, but only gave up 4 sacks all season, the fewest in college football. Crompton should have enough time to take a 5 step drop, eat a sandwich, and text Tim Tebows girlfriend before he has to get rid of the ball. Here’s to another 10 win season.

watched the spring game. off. line still inferior in run blocking. very slow in getting out on pull asignments. running plays to slow to develope. this off. line not getting it done on running plays. def. tackles look weak and slow. def. ends having trouble getting off blocks. rico mccoy could take up rodeo calf wrestling after football. he wonts to jump on their backs and ride them down. didnt see any hard hitters at lb. maybe if fulmer watches them play he will see why he is predicted third or fourth. i am a vol fan, but this team has a long way to go to be good.

Great stuff, especially the Morley part. I am glad to hear Fulmer talk about him, as I was a little worried. Let’s hope he can keep doing the things that we need him to do to play football for the Vols. I really REALLY want to see him and Berry lining up back there. That would be scary for any quarterback or receiver coming their way.
