'15 TN OT Drew Richmond (UT Signee 2/4/15)

[titansvolsfaninga]

Blair? Wtf? Dude hasn't shown anything to this point.

Well because the coaches chose to redshirt him last year...just like every other JUCO OT that signed with a Power 5 school last year.

Don't hold your breath on Blair.

Lol. Blair will never play here.

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Don't hold your breath on Blair.

Why don't they go ahead and ask him to explore his options, so we can free up another scholarship? Or are they hoping that something will eventually click?

Size?
Mack's 6'2.5" and between 295-300 confirmed, as I'm typing like it or not and has been since season's end... That's equal to or better than half of the centers on NFL rosters right now.

His strength is one of the best on the OL and his foot speed hasn't been an issue with his coaches.
The things you said he does well are the things most other big guys find hard or impossible to put together in a complete package at that position. That's why guys who can't play center play guard.
And... On one of the elite, Fulmer teams Mack would've looked a Helluva lot better just like anyone else on the line would have last year.

But remember, I'm in your court now. Surely since CBJ recruited CT and not Mack he will see what you do and make the switch. Just a matter of time.

So what do you think Crowders NFL prospects are? How about compared to Jackson and Kerybson? Think his numbers will hold up at a combine or pro day?

Come one man, Crowder is better than most people here give him credit for, but it's disingenuous to act like he doesn't have some physical limitations on what he can be as a football player.

I think it's the fact that we are somewhat short on bodies at the tackle position and Blair shows flashes of being a quality tackle but can never keep it up. He looks like a monster sometimes and other times he looks lost and disinterested. It's frustrating.

Call me a negavol or whatever but I've thought for the longest that Crowder and Kerbyson are the major weak links on this line. I think Jackson, Jashon and Kendrick will be more than solid for this team in 2015. I'm just hoping and praying that Thomas keeps improving at center and Richmond continues looking like an NFL left tackle.

Thinking of the 2016 line, I can't help but be excited

LT: Richmond
LG: Big battle between Jones, DW, Sanders, Boulware, Stewart and Hall.
C: Thomas
RG: Robertson
RT: Kendrick

I think Jones and Kendrick will battle at RT.

I think Jones and Kendrick will battle at RT.

People keep talking about Richmond. Jack Jones is hell of a prospect and has a legit mean streak. He'll push for time this year at RT.

 

[eazyTD]

I think Jack could be a tackle eventually but he will see PT earlier at guard. I think he can succeed at both positions.

I'm a big fan of jack, don't get me wrong, but Kendrick is going to flourish now that he is out of Butch's doghouse.

I'm not a big fan of Jack these days. Too much makes me say stupid crap and gets me in situations of strife. Getting too old...

Your jimmies seem to be in quite the spot Papa Crowder. I think you need to take your aspirin, count to ten, and chill out for a bit.

Where do you see Charles Mosley fitting in?

Maybe, but size isnt an issue. Iirc, possibly Fulmers best C was undersized and played for the Packers for several seasons and was recognized as one of the best C's in the league during his time. Think his name was Mcneil or something like that

 

[AV_12]

Don't hold your breath on Blair.

Nah give him time ha



Lol that one wasn't hard to predict... Our tackle play was awful and he still couldn't get time

Scott Wells

Thank you.

 

[tim]

Mcneil was the one untying the Gator defenders cleat. Lol

 

[VolGee4]

Blair? Wtf? Dude hasn't shown anything to this point.

All I am saying is that a true freshman at tackle is not the answer. I know Vols fans think every high level recruit should start their first game, but we should not be starting Richmond. If anything, Jack Jones has a better chance because he was an EE. I don't know if Blair has progressed much or not, but it's not a recipe for success.

I get it. You're emotionally invested.

I doubt SteelVol is Papa Crowder because if he was he would probably get with Freak and find out who you are and hunt you down and shake the 'problem child' right out of you. Even the dumbest dumbbell (i.e. 'MockingVol') will not get on here and dog an SEC starting lineman publicly and not expect repercussions. You and the other six who post similar post and together total around 40,000 to 60,000 posts are not a majority you are actually a very small minority. Six is a very small number of people - you just post a lot of posts.

Ummm. Scott wells was a complete and total badass. He was the top heavyweight wrestler in the nation coming out of high school. Would whip Crowder's azz with a broken leg.
