Nigel Warrior speaks

Warrior’s biggest goal heading into the offseason is still his biggest goal early in spring camp, and it’ll be his biggest goal moving forward, too.
“For myself? Communication,” he said. “That’s pretty much it — communication, and also every aspect of my game. But one thing I really want to work on is communication.”

Warrior has had his moments the past three seasons, but the nation’s No. 57 overall prospect and No. 4 prospect in the 2016 industry-generated 247Sports Composite would be the first to tell you he hasn’t made the impact he’s capable of making. The hard-hitting, 6-foot-1, 191-pound son of former Vols and NFL star Dale Carter has collected 169 tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, three forced fumbles and one fumble recovery in his 36-game career, but he also has only one interception and five defended passes and missed some golden opportunities to pick off more balls and make a bigger impact on the game.

There are several areas Warrior wants to improve under new defensive coordinator Derrick Ansley, but the single largest deficiency he’s found isn’t a physical thing.
“As a safety, if I want to go to The League, I’ve got to have communication [skills],” Warrior said. “I’ve got to take over. I’ve got to let people know. I’ve got to let my boys know what’s going on on the field, so communication is a big thing. … I feel like that’s my responsibility. I feel like that’s all our responsibility, but for me, I feel like that is a big responsibility, because if you hear it from someone older than you that knows what’s going on, you’re gonna want to do it.

“I know when I was young, when I first came in, and I heard somebody that was older than me that had been playing and had experience, and he said something, I wanted to do it.”

Communication skills can be improved off the field, but the field itself remains the best proving ground, and Warrior said the the Vols’ rough 2018 season made him even hungrier to get back on the field this spring and improve in that — and every other — area.

“Oh, man, it feels amazing, you know what I’m saying?” he said. “Every kid that plays football, they want to get back out on that field. And once you have a season that you really don’t like, you really want to get back on the field as soon as possible.”

Seems like people have figured out that constantly talking smack about UT on social media is an easy way to generate clicks and notoriety.

Yeah, I just don't understand why fans let it bother them. Why do they even pay attention to guys like him? And why do they watch Finebaum? They should know what his show is like.

Yes, sorry for the confusion.

With a win and an LSU loss we get #1 seed. With an LSU and UT win we get #2 seed. If we lose and LSU and UK both win UK/UT would go to a tie-breaker, since we are 1-1 against UK it’d go to this
Won-lost record of the two teams versus the No. 1 seed (and proceeding through the No. 14 seed, if necessary).

If LSU and UT both lose and UK win then the tie breaker would be
  1. Best winning percentage of games played among the tied teams (Example: Team A is 3-1, Team B is 2-2 and Team C is 1-3 - Team A would be seeded highest, Team B second-highest and Team C lowest of the three).
  2. Best winning percentage of the tied teams versus the No. 1 seed (and proceed- ing through the No. 14 seed, if necessary).
  3. If two teams remain, coin flip by the Commissioner.
  4. If three or more teams remain, draw by the Commissioner.
