I disagree. I think we signed him as much for his return skills as his WR skills. He was unstoppable in Juco. I'd like to see as many of our good players out on ST as possible. I like what Urban did at Florida. He played his best guys on ST and it showed.

The only jobs I think are still disputed are SS and CB.

Moore could push Brewer at SS.
Teague and Coleman are in a tight race at CB imo.

Other than that it's pretty much set I think.

Anybody still think CDD doesn't understand his situation ?
If he is retained (I hope) he will be rebuilding all over again, as he was forced, the last 2 years to go JUCO way too much.
This was done in fear of not having enough time to recruit and win enough games to shut the idiots up at the same time. If he doesn't get another year or 2 the "joke's on UT" and our arrogance....wonder if he is smart enough to have thought all this through ???

Guys if that does not make you feel better than the last two years starting line up I don't know what to say. We definately look good on paper!

EDIT: Added Rivals rankings for you star gazers!

All of our defensive 3* have really come a long way!

I think he was talking about the 3's that are shown among those starters ... I'd say, yeah, look where guys like PWag, Randolph, Lathers are, what they have achieved and overcome thus far ... proud of them.

Lol there's never a bright side on VN. We just all assume that all three of our WR's, Bray, James, and everyone else is going to turn pro early if win. And if we lose, we'll no recruits would ever consider coming here, and we will get a new staff, and everyone will transfer out.

Totally agree.

Although I predict Young and Moore are going to surprise some people and earn larger roles by the end of the season.

GBO!!

To me the most exciting aspect of this depth chart is that you have the offense listed with our three wide recievers and one tight end.
that = spread! The spread is where chaneys heart is and is his bread and butter wether oldschool "we better have a top 5 running tem this year" vols fans want to admit it or not.
But to have the most potent and productive offense THIS year, this will be the best shot.. and i hope you guys realize by spread i dont mean we have to be in the gun on every play, theres many other forms. To keep the trio out there
