Telander looks slow

[Govols23!]

Teelander just does not have the speed to play linebacker in the SEC. Seems out of
Position on the majority of the running
Plays and can not catch up in space

I've said before, Teelander has the IQ and smarts to be a great LB.
He just lacks the physical traits.
He would have been really great in a lesser league.

He's going to be a great coach someday.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

All I know is, twice so far today, Teelander has been the only orange jersey between a running back and the end zone: He put the runner down both times.

He may not be tackling for loss, but he's preventing scores. Good open field tackling.

Go Vols!

Telander

 

[The_topis_Rocky89]

We have had better I thought last yr he missed some fits and it has continued today

 

[PC Jr.]

He’s the Santiago Vescovi of the Tennessee Football.

 

[NighthawkVol]

I’ve had (and expressed) this concern all offseason and all season. I’m not sure why he gets the PT he gets. Spillman needs to develop enough to start over him. I think he should start as he is, but apparently not in the eyes of the coaches.

Vescovi played great defense. Telander does not.

 

[PC Jr.]

He does the best he can with what he’s got. Consider contributing to Spyre. We need better talent.

 

[Clad in Big Orange]

We just don't have much star power on the defensive side of the ball. Both Carters are good, not great. Nobody else stands out.

Burns, Spillman, Harmon are all more talented. Yet he’s playing over them.

Hood is pretty good

 

[Doberman]

2nd stringer at best

Josephs? Hood?

Let’s not act like Carter is showing out. But yea Teelander isn’t doing much.

 

[ChrisVFL]

Ain’t worried about the States WRs , their RBs killing us

He sure gets roasted a lot.. Him and Turpentine up the middle are a liability.

 

[ALLVOL 4LIFE]

I like Telander, but Spillman should be on the field a whole lot more than Telander.

Carter and Spillman is a nasty duo.

You go into battle with the men you have, not the men you want- General George Patton… I think.

17 tackles isn’t showing out, what are you drinking?

Do you watch the games?

He has heart, but 24 trucked him all game. Not once did he knock 24 backward or even lateral.

 

[Hbg]

He's clueless af

Lots of players would like to be that clueless
