What? The idea that he'll likely play significant snaps, or the idea that people are upset about that idea this far into Butch's tenure?

Both are just plain dumb. Our own highly touted DC has been quoted saying that he sees Jumper as a starter. Shoop has forgotten more about defensive talent than anyone on here. So either Shoop or us fans are dumb.

He played pretty great in the Florida game last year. People love to hate Jumper

It's hard to not want someone else playing the Mike, when we all seen how atrocious he was at times, last year! He did seem to progress throughout the season, but still isn't where he should be for a starting SEC MLB. I'm hoping Bituli or Ignont ball out & just take the position, because it doesn't seem like DKjr is going to see the field much at UT.

I do know that Jumper would have more tackles if he ever learned how to wrap up and actually tackle instead of trying to knock them down.
Either way somebody is going to have to step up.

Someone in the program needs to be looking at the equipment, practice drills, and field. There are way too many injuries to be " normal" something is wrong systemically. Cleats gripping too much? Is there some properties about the practice field creating an issue? Are we doing drills without proper warn up? Are there specific drills that are repeditively causing the injuries? Something beyond Murphy's law is at play.

CBJ once said, in an interview, that all injuries are looked at by the staff and any reoccurring injuries by different players are not due to practice drills/System.

Says a coach who made the same bad gameday calls over and over.

Well, this is interesting.

I wonder if this means Drew Richmond and Kahlil Mckenzie are also about to suffer some sort of Georgia Tech benching injury?

Well, CBJ doesnt comment on player injury so we may never know, or does he?

If Colton is, as stated, "disciplined", perhaps that extends to the weight room. Maybe he has developed more strength under Rock's program. He should be better than last year.

We should be ok against GT and definitely Indy State. Gives us time to see how things are progressing and what the options are by Florida.

We're actually within the normal range of injuries so far but it's unfortunate when it happens at a thin spot.
Get well soon DK and good luck to those competing for the opening.

Injuries like Kirkland's make it tough to win in the SEC, but everyone has them, unfortunately.

Very bad news for team 121
Go Vols

UT fans just wait for the other shoe to drop.....and we appear to have more than Imelda Marcos. It's like an orange groundhog day.....same thing over and over and over. Always something with this program. Fans live in a perpetual state of being cupped up and ready for the next blow and for good reason.

Losing Kirkland for the tech gave is DEVESTATING!!!!!! Good LB play is uber important against a triple option team. With his photographic memory and high level play. When he was not playing you saw our defense last year and how th LB crew was SO AWFUL!!!!!

No.

You saw me using a wife joke as sarcasm towards a poster that had just made one about someone else's wife. It was obvious to anyone that could read.

Go find and quote the others. I'll wait.
