Phillips fine with Barnett comparisons

[kamoshika]

He's quickly shown the Vols why beating out Ole Miss and LSU to land him was so important.

"He can flat-out run. He has a tenacity about himself," Vols coach Butch Jones said. "He plays with a relentless approach to get to the football, and he's really been challenged by Derek and Curt. I think he watches their style of play, and he wants that. He wants to do well. He's a very smart player, and he has very good instincts as well.

"He has some God-given ability in terms of just stature. When you look at his size, you look at his frame, you look at his length and the ability to make himself skinny and small coming off the edge, the burst on his get-off — we're very encouraged and excited about him."

Coin toss please. Just blow the d*mn whistle!

Future All-American and first round draft choice. I predict he'll have at least 5 sacks this year coming off of the bench.

Barnett is the best DE in the country. If Phillips is as good, we'll have 1a and 1b and maybe even 1a and 1b DTs with Shy and KMac! Two weeks can't come fast enough

Your eyes must be as red as your avi's. Lucky.

we'll have the consensus best d-line in America next season

DE - Derek Barnett
DT - Shy Tuttle
DT - Kahlil McKenzie
DE - Kyle Phillips

5 star d-line.

Our D line is going to be so dang gone dominant. I can't wait to see all these guys.

 

[jbradley1382]

Yea I'd be ok with that too

 

[VolBricks]

we'll have the consensus best d-line in America next season

DE - Derek Barnett
DT - Shy Tuttle
DT - Kahlil McKenzie
DE - Kyle Phillips

5 star d-line.

I predict that by the end of this season we will see this D-line with JRM and Maggitt at LB in the 4-2-5 alignment. QB's beware the Orange Crush is coming to get you!

 

[Biopsyman]

Be nice to see a dominating DL

 

[Titan&Volfan4life]

He's 1 of our next all SEC and All Americans.

I doubt he'll stay for 4 years but I sure wish he would.

We may lose Curt after this season but Kyle will step right in and keep our production just as good or better.

This kid is really going to surprise lots of people this year but next year every team will have to try to game plan for him and he still won't be stopped.

Is anyone else being asked to create an account on the TFP website? I can't read the article.
