Coach Doug Mathews said about Ty Chandler

[peyton4heisman]

"I had the pleasure of watching Charlie Garner and Chuck Webb (who were IMO the best two backs I've seen as a coach) and Ty Chandler is on the same level as those two. It doesn't matter what the official depth chart says, he will be a big part of our offense by the GT game."

Those are some awfully bold statements by CDM! Let's hope he's right and his talent evaluation skills are as good as they used to be!"

Edit: heard this on 104.5 today

Please god stay healthy Mr chandler

 

[VOL 4 Life 83]

First Kamara and Hurd, now Kelly and Chandler! Can't wait to see what those two can do!

 

[Nocleats]

Wish he had 15-18 more lbs of real muscle on him,

That is some mighty bold talk about a player who has never played a single game of college football.

Exactly!! It can be said about every true freshman IMO. Easy folks, give em time to marinate a little. Recruiting services build these guys up so much fans believe the players will never lose 1 play in their career..

Yeah...but it's coming from a guy who has coached a few downs of College Football...

Maybe he knows what he sees?

Preach

That and he is normally pretty careful with his words in such ways.

 

[TnScooby]

I've said it before and I'll say it again..Chandler has a chance to be a truly great Vol..His work ethic is absolutely tremendous...

Just a few weeks ago, didn't Coach also pick us going 8-4 this year? I just wonder: what will it take / what does he need to see, to predict us getting over the 8-4 bug.

No kidding. Sounds like he's a stud.

 

[dduncan4163]

Wow that is a bold statement by someone whose word carries weight. Looking at his HS film he really does seem to have the "IT" factor.

 

[dduncan4163]

Ty also seems to be built for this offense.

 

[volgrad500]

Exactly. It's not like we are talking about Dobbs4Heisman's appraisal here.

 

[photovol]

I sure hope Ty can hold up against SEC defenses, he'll have to take a pounding and survive the rugged and long SEC season
Go Vols

It can be said about every true freshman?? Really?? And you really think Doug Matthews gets his opinion from recruiting services??

 

[Vol_in_Japan]

Hope it translates to the field, and more importantly I hope he has a healthy career.

GBO, we gawn whoop up on some Yeller Jackits!

As opposed to fake muscle?

 

[Hacksaw]

I don't think Doug Mathews is going to invoke names like Charlie Garner and Chuck Webb lightly. I take this as a very good sign.

he previously also put him in the category of the best to come from the state of Tennessee. He put him in the same category of Reggie Cobb whom he considered the best from this state that he has seen.

 

[cookVol1]

IF he is close to those two we are in for a special treat for the next three years.

 

[peyton4heisman]

Regarding the premature nature of his comments he said (and I am paraphrasing here) "Each year there are a small handful of kids in the country that when you get to go see them play even as early as in high school, you just know that you're watching something special. You feel like you are watching an NFL running back playing against small children. Ty Chandler is one of those kids. You look at him and there's no question that he will be playing in the NFL and you're just glad that there's a rule that says he has to go to college first. It's really special when you are lucky enough to have a guy like that on the team."

How do you lose a play?

He's a true freshman. Realistically by the time he's a junior, he may get those 10 or 15.
