"And with the 19th pick in the draft the Tennessee Titans, *Crowd cheers loudly*, your hometown Titans select.... wow a shocker here, they select Peyton Manning, retired Quarterback, University of Tennessee!!"

Never saw him at LT. Always projected him as a prototype mauling RT and many see him at OG...and that seems to have panned out.

He’s been playing well like you said he would. He played guard and tackle last year and was a plug and play and did very well. OL got hit hard last year with injuries from broken legs to ankles, 4th string OG started against Bama so the cross training seems to pay off. When not running with the 1s this spring, he’s been running 2nd unit LT. Think Ga loses the RT this year early as well, think Wilson goes pro as well so that is a possibility but that might end up being Jamaree Salyer next year.

If TN can convince Rogers to stay on OL, imagine 4 5-stars in your starting 5 unit with Morris, Wright, Rogers, and Ratledge (think he ends up a 5 star) if he picks TN.

Then what RB or QB wouldn’t want behind that wall?

Honestly, I'm not sure it's the "best" situation for this season, especially early in the season, but I think it's the smartest plan long term for the team to star both Morris and Wright.

Trial by fire is rarely something I'd want in an offensive lineman...especially two of them, but I think Pruitt, Chaney, and Friend are looking for long term foundation pieces moving forward so it makes sense to put the 5 stars in a position to earn their keep early on.

By mid season I think they'll both figure it out. I also feel that if Trey does return he'll be best at guard. His freshman year there he was far more of a force than when he moved to tackle.

My projected starting line

LT - Wanya Morris
LG - Trey (if healthy)/Carvin if not
C - Brandon Kennedy
RG - K'Rohjn Calbert
RT - Darnell Wright

Feel like it's the best time to get youth playing...that line would have 2 freshman and 2 sophomores with Kennedy being the only upper classman (if Trey's not playing). I like Carvin a lot from what I saw of him last season, and hope he can earn an interior spot.

Better get the backup QBs ready. Hope JG stays in one piece at least until UF. Start bookend true freshmen in this league? Tall, tall order especially with one who gets tossed into the fray with only a fall camp under his belt.

That’s my wish for Rogers if we were to land him, but he seems resolute on playing DL and our staff proposed that to him. Kind of a Crouch thing.

Florida football fans are the worst winners ever. they're just obnoxious. it's like they all took a class.

bama football are smug and entitled, and may be one of the most football dumb fan bases out there.

UK bball fans....see Bama football. though they are smart bball fans, i'll give htem that.

Georgia...they're just loud....they were loud whiners when we were killing them every year, and now they're loud braggers....

Auburn...don't have a ton of experience with Auburn fans, but the few that i have had some close interaction with, have been mostly pretty cool.

Ole Miss...See Georgia, w/out the winning lol

MSU....i think the most red neck bunch in the SEC. i've always had a good time with MSU fans.

LSU...imo, the most fun. a) i can't understand what they're saying to know if they're giving me hell b) i don't care, cause they give me crawfish and beer.

aTm--nicest, per capita, fans i've ever interacted with.

Arkansas...close 2nd to aTm.

MO...no data.

South Carolina.....mostly cool....they know where they're from historically, and seem to genuinely appreciate success, when they've had it....

This is spot on in my experience...I would add that I’ve attended the Missouri game every time it’s been in Knoxville and I’ve never had anything but good experiences with them...even when they talked a little trash it was just fun

I agree on 4/5 of this, but I think they'll put Jahmir Johnson at the LG position. They seem to be grooming Carvin as a Center.

Season will be over by end of May with the lack of pitching they have! 2 decent starters and no bullpen will not get it done.

Starters will be fine. Folty comes back next week, Fried has been awesome, Soroka was great today and last year. He has all the potential in the world. Gausman is reliable, a good starter. Julio has been great this year for all but 1 inning. He's fine.

So the rotation is fine, its the bullpen that is awful.
