Wonder if Tiny or Kerbyson will get switched to DT

[VOLorNuttin]

As much as I think Tiny would prove to be an All American at OT, I think he could have an equally huge impact if the staff were to switch him to DT, which is our greatest need, still.

He might not supplant Dallas Thomas this year, but would likely crack the two deep roster at DT at the start of the season, and give our DL some much needed heft and girth, and is talented enough to use that to manhandle most Centers and Guards in this conference.

With that in mind, I am hoping the staff will give it a shot and if they can recruit enough help at DT in the 2012 class, perhaps move Tiny back to OT in the spring.

If not, perhaps Kerbyson or Posey...we need help at DT more so than OT at the present time. Jackson is still a lightweight (a DE playing DT), and you never know what you're going to get out of Hughes. Tiny could make the staff sleep a little easier at night, I do believe.

so what are you trying to say?......sorry couldn't help it

 

[nc vol fan]

I agree with Mr. no....if we recruited those young men as OT then keep them as such.

 

[VOLorNuttin]

I'll take that as a "No" vote....

Seriously though, if he can have the same type of impact, why would you choose NOT to move him to the position of greatest need? You have Posey and/or Kerbyson still there for depth at the position, and then Pair behind James.

Richardson would likely be an SEC monster at DT, so I'm thinking if Thompson feels he can have the same kind of impact at DT, he should be trying to sneak him away from the OL.

 

[therickbol]

It has been mentioned numerous times. And I will just add one more to the list. You do NOT waste the arm length that Tiny has by moving him to DT. Not going to happen.

 

[VolMaster14]

Tiny would be a mean DT.

Im kinda thinkin this too! Not sayin its gonna happen but he could be another John Henderson on the D-line but he'll be a beast on the O-line too!! Either way, glad we got him!

 

[ENGRVOL]

I agree with Mr. no....if we recruited those young men as OT then keep them as such.

Completely agree. If you are a 4 or 5 star recruit looking at Tennessee right now with hopes of making it to the NFL will you be more or less willing to go to a school if you see that they are moving players away from their best position simply to get maybe small improvement at another position? Opposing coaches would use that to get recruits to look away from Tennessee.

 

[INVolsITrust]

and is talented enough to use that to manhandle most Centers and Guards in this conference.

This is a pretty tall statement to say about any freshman in the SEC.

 

[VOLorNuttin]

Well Tiny is a pretty "Tall" figure...for a freshman or otherwise. Just like Haynesworth or Henderson. A man among boys.

As for wasting arm length by moving him from OL. It goes both ways. As a DT, he can use those long arms to keep OL from getting to his chest and locking in (holding...which happens on most every down...usually it's the flagrant holds that get called). If I were an OL, I would not want to face a guy like Tiny.

As for those of you who say that he was recruited as an OT and that it would hurt recruiting to move him...pardon me, but look at the following link. They have him listed as BOTH OT/DT.

I don't know where the staff is on this, but if I were Coach Thompson, I know I would be bugging the horns off of Coach Dooley to get Tiny to play for me...at least THIS year. He can start or be in the 2-deep rotation right away, whereas, if Dallas Thomas holds his ground, Tiny may not see much playing time this fall. With that being the case, it's a matter of how much of an impact can he make on the team overall. I think as an OT, not likely to be much...this year. However, as a DT...he would have a HUGE impact on the team's success.

That post was an impressive feat...especially from a phone.

 

[Vols4us]

I am on the "No" side. Natural o-tackle that will be playing the position on Sundays. Don't muck it up.

What am I missing on DT's? With Malik, Mo, Daniel, Marlon, Montori, Arthur, possibly Corey, freshmen coming in, etc. Take that bunch, feed 'em some red meat, work them with McKeef, and have them do their thing in practice. It's not like they need QB intelligence to play the position. Big and nasty with quick feet for 10-20 yards is all they need.

 

[orangebloodgmc]

And I thought I was recalling some past discussion about trying out Kerbyson on the DL?

Okay, so I see you can read what someone says literally, but let's try it like this. No freshman should be expected to come in and "man-handle" SEC guards and centers. That's completely the most asinine thing you can ever say. Haynesworth and Henderson did not dominate as freshman, you know why? Because interior defensive and offensive linemen are the strongest kids on the team. There is a huge deference between a 18 year old going against a 22 year old. Try to keep expectations in check. Tiny may be a good DT but to expect him to "Man-handle" any SEC lineman as a frosh is crazy.

 

[mlsoft]

Tiny would be a mean DT.

Sorry, but we do not know that. For that matter, we do not know how well he will play at OT either. Here is a kid who has never practiced (much less played) a snap at either position yet he is seen as a great player. I certainly hope he will live up to everyone's hopes for him, but until he does, we might need to back expectations for him back down a notch or two. OL is a tough spot for a true freshman to come in and play, especially when (unlike last year) we have some experienced talent.

If our incoming DL players do not fill our needs at DT, I believe one or two of our incoming OL players, including Tiny, will be given the opportunity to move to DT. Tiny would be my first choice to "try out" at DT also, unless Cam Clear wants the job, something which I do not expect to happen unless and until he is convinced TE is not going to work out for him. Whether any of these kids have the mean streak and the physical quickness and agility to be a quality SEC tackle remains to be seen. Although many of them saw playing time at DT in hs, none of them concentrated on that position.

Finally, Tiny or any other of our kids would have to want to move to the DT position. If their heart is not in it, it will not work. One reason I mention Cam Clear at DL (other than the fact that I think that may be his best position both in college and in the NFL), is that he has already expressed a desire to play some d-line at UT on a situational basis. I look at Richardson the same way -- great NFL potential at DT or OT, so I would love for him to move to DT where we have more need for his talent, but only if he has the desire to play there.

One step at a time on this idea -- first we need to find out what our need is, then we can go about filling it.

if you all would quit thinking with heart or hope that tiny or kerb will start ans do great,they may be juniors before they ever see the field on offensive line.yet no in all languages if you want them to play why not let them switch to defense.

I thought the only knock on Richardson was that he had short arms...
