I mean we can cherry pick onsie twosie players off of individual teams all day. But, for the most part, they don't play great competition as a whole, it's just a fact. All anyone has to do is look at over all records for the teams they played while Banks was there to figure it out. But, the point I was originally trying to make is that Banks IS a SEC caliber player.

BTW, I live in the area and know about the teams here.

After I typed it out, I figured that you probably lived in the area. I got you, but I just think there are a whole lot of teams that play inferior competition than someone like Cordova. Cordova plays teams with D1 talent. Jerome Carvin was a sought after recruit.

It's why I wasn't quite sold on Chase Hayden at St. George's. His highlights showed great vision, but they play nobody. As in, teams that don't have D1 players at all.

Sounds like Eric Gray is going to be good, but again, they don't play any better competition than Cordova.

Allow me to continue my drama generating. When the OC is correcting fundamentals? Someone missed something. As previously stated, I’ve backed him and that hasn’t changed, but this was perceived BY ME as a bad look...so I stated it.

i think that's the thing for me is in the one video he's yelling at them about their stance.

now maybe this is just an attention getting episode, and that's fine. i'm all for that kind of stuff, i've had to do that too....go in and set a tone over and above what the 'supervisor' had done.

but i also know that it was also the supervisor's attention i was seeking, not just the guys on the floor.

so in that light, that's why i seconded it...it as as much a message to him, as it was anyone else.

but like you said, i'm not out on friend or anything. just agree on the optics, from a certain point of view.

If healthy, he should get the bulk of the short yardage carries.

On short yardage 3rd downs last year,

Chandler converted on 60% of attempts
Jordan at 75%

London at 20% - 3 yards on 5 plays
Banks went 0fer and lost 5 yards total

Bigger isn't often better at RB. Those bigger guys can't always hit the hole before it breaks down, which is our biggest going concern. We need a big, proven mauler line before we can really rely on bulkier guys imo.

I’ve backed Friend and still do. This isn’t a good look.

Considering it's a tweet by someone else it's tainted information, I take it with a grain of salt. Now had I been at the practice then I may be more willing to comment on how it "looks" for Friend/staff etc.

I feel like based purely on age of positions and "need" the OL group will have more input from the OC than any other in most practices. Chaney has more experience with the OL position than any other except QB as well. We've got a very young OL in class as well as experience.

Chaney is a walk around coordinator and it would make sense that he spends some time with the worst unit from 2018. These guys see two periods of practice, that's it. It's a very small part of the practice. I'm sure he has spent time with all of the offensive units during practice.

Chaney’s just licking his chops trying to figure out how to fire Friend. No better way to do that than to make the group perform exactly as he wants. Or something.

Vols OC Jim Chaney was....passionate, to say the least, at today's practice.

When Chaney saw something he didn't like, he let it be known and often made players redo their reps. Much of his anger also focused on the players holding the blocking pads but not giving their a teammates a quality look by popping them with the pad. He wanted the players holding the pads to simulate a defensive lineman.

Wasn’t it Ubben? I don’t bow to him as a football god, but it wasn’t exactly Sab tweeting it.

Didn't play at a great school or against all that great competition but, other than the fumbles. I think he disproved those who were "familiar" with his HS performances last year as a true freshman.

He looks good from his frame alone, but he produced poorly. 2.8 ypc vs p5 opponents and a fumble every 17 carries. Not sure what he's disproven yet. He's got to show a lot more imo if he's going to be a factor this year with Grey in the rotation.

Big running backs that produce have been the minority. Especially in the nfl. Even Derek Henry was a couple games away from being Trent Richardson or Eddie lacy
