Teelander issue is speed and slow to diagnose. The two you mentioned are both faster, but Perlotte was out of position or failed to fill gaps, he's not getting to the holes in the run game but neither was Teelander.

I can deal with some runs misfits from a young guy. Telander gets sucked in every time on PA and leaves players wide open. Perlotte has the speed to make up with mistakes and makes plays. Telander does nothing really well.

it is pretty wild that we are experiencing one of the best WR units in the history of our program this year (could end up the best) and it was this board's #1 worry going into the season

It certainly reinforces the idea that fans from outside the program with extremely limited intel can make good decisions about the roster :cool:

Tackles well and gets the line/LBs set in the right spots.

Telander is a good LB, but he's not a stud. When he's "the guy" you see the mistakes pile up....if he was beside a better LB then he'd flash a lot more imo.

I love this and hope it’s the future…incentive laden contracts. We want to reward you for being successful but if you’re not we aren’t leveraging our future.

Seems reasonable for both parties. And all likelihood he will do well and we will have to stop others from trying to steal him with a larger contract.

He was beside Carter for most of the season. I would say that’s a good linebacker

Just looking at some nerd stuff. Oklahoma may give our offense some real trouble. Let’s hope the home field advantage is alive on Saturday night.

OU has played 1 good offense.

That offense put up 431 yards (315 passing) and 34 points on them.

Not saying Vols go off but still.

Prediction:

DL gets yelled at all week and comes to life.

5+ sack game incoming.

I think there will be some opportunity but I think they go big and play bully ball against us. With Carter out they'll run right at our undersized younger linebackers negating their speed and our D linemen don''t get off blocks. I think we'll struggle to stop the run.

12.5 PPG, not 12
in SEC play it's 20 PPG (and that's with Auburn, Texas, and South Carolina as 3 of their 4 opponents... that's 3 of the worst offenses in the SEC)

Yards allowed in SEC play is 311
First Downs in SEC play is 17 per game

They might be the most overrated defense in SEC because of 3 games out of conference.

vs Illinois State gave up 3 points, 151 total yards and 8 first downs
at Temple gave up 3 points, 104 total yards and 7 first downs
vs Kent State gave up 0 points, 135 total yards and 7 first downs

Michigan was game 2 of the year with a true freshmen QB...but they gave up 13 points, 288 total yards and 12 first downs

Now if you just look at their SEC play numbers...

17 ppg allowed would put them between Missouri and Bama
311 yards allowed would put them just in front of Bama
17 first downs allowed per game would put them just behind Bama

Now again, even in SEC play they've faced South Carolina (16th in PPG, total yards, & first downs) so the worst offense in the SEC. They've faced Auburn (13th in PPG, 15th in total yards, 14th in first downs) and Texas (10th in PPG, 11th in total yards, 15th in first downs).

I think there's a better chance our offense exposes the Sooners than we get held in check...

Chuck Webb scored three times and Greg Amsler added two scores Saturday, leading No. 12 Tennessee from a 14-point first-half deficit to a 45-39 victory over Louisiana State.

Tennessee enjoyed a 21-17 halftime lead, thanks to Carl Pickens' 93-yard kickoff return in the closing seconds of the second quarter, before blowing open the game in the second half.

Webb scored on a 1-yard dive on the Volunteers' opening possession of the third quarter to boost the lead to 28-17, but the Tigers came back on their next possession to close within 28-24 when quarterback Tommy Hodson scored on a 2-yard draw on fourth down.

Tennessee marched down the field again, with Amsler scoring on a 2-yard run. Midway through the fourth quarter, Webb scored again from 1 yard out for a 42-24 Tennessee lead.

Hodson hit Eddie Fuller on a 23-yard touchdown with less than six minutes left and connected with Wesley Jacob on a 2-point conversion, but LSU's onside kick did not travel 10 yards and Tennessee took over. Tennessee's Greg Burke hit a 31-yard field goal with 1:38 remaining.

I’d be shocked if a team that isn’t good at running the ball tries to bully us. That won’t work out well for them. Our weakness is the pass and middle. I think they will go there all day. Like Kentucky did

What are you disputing/arguing. Good is subjective...to me Telander is, to you he isn't?

He's in year 3 and through 8 games has surpassed his best totals from any previous season. He's played in every single game he's been here. As a former 3 star player that wasn't a top 50 LB he's turned into a very good player for us. Him and Carter though are the exact same LB...they shouldn't be playing beside one another. We should have Carter OR Telander on the field beside a faster, more athletic LB with better coverage/length. That's why we see Telander biting on PA so much...if he was faster he'd be a monster. But can't teach speed or size in most players...durable and makes tackles when he makes contact.

But from a pure talent standpoint...he's probably the 3rd or 4th best LB on the team. I think Carter and Spillman are better and I think if experience was equal Perlotte would be better too.

But that doesn't mean he's terrible and doesn't do anything really well.
