2016 D Line

Completely agree he did what was in his heart to do. Can't fault a man for that. Just saw where he was living in China now. He has had an interesting life.

He'll be a high standing Elder one day in the Mormon Church.

They're both equal as far as numbers. It comes down to how big a boy you wanna be once the pads start poppin. I think we have the staff to motivate and drive our guys o be better than they are now on paper.

Game might be 0 to 0

Probably right and prob Picou too. DT is a difficult place to make a big impact as a FR. Now, McKenzie looks SEC ready right now IMO.
OTOH, we are still not really in a position to RS that many new players. Our depth is not to "reloading" levels yet.

Even though McKenzie will be a true freshman, he has the potential to be a dominant DT from game 1 on.

 

[Catbone]

There's always some kind of attrition. (Hendrix for example) It's going to be vital to hold onto as many as we can moving forward.

Fantasy legacy DL:

DT,Reggie White Jr.

NG, John Henderson Jr.

DT, Darwin Walker JR.

DE, Leonard Little Jr,

Any all time DL lineup at Tennessee would have to begin with Doug Atkins. He was voted the SEC's best player of the quarter century from 1950-1975 and was the most feared player in the NFL for 2 decades.
