'13 VA RB Derrick Green (Michigan commit)

[sspineda]

Cannot stress enough the importance it is to get a guy like this, but also to get another big RB as well. Competition is what separates our team IMO.

The teams that can run the ball between the tackles are teams that have depth at RB. Not just depth for the sake of depth, but real depth, that push each other during practice. Look at Bama, LSU, UGA, etc. Those teams have strong, physical guys that push each other in practice. Then, in the game, they wear down the defenses. They consistently pick up 4-5 yards, occasionally breaking them for longer.

Jay Graham knows what he's doing and will get the best out of our backs, but you have to have more depth than guys like Devrin Young. I love DY, but he's not the kind of guy you want in the depth chart pushing guys to be an every-down back.

Great video,VL!!

Really hope this guy ends up a Vol, it's sounding very promising thus far!:dance2:

This guy already looks jacked. Coach Mac would look at this guy and say, "You're good. Have a seat."

If we are able to land a guy like Green or Henry I really hope Dooley has a change at OC this offseason, I just don't trust Chaney turning into a run 1st OC. I also think it would better serve Worley & Peterman, neither are the gunslinger type Bray is.

We need an OC that likes to toss the ball around but runs the ball downhill.

Bray would be much better in a run 1st offense too. If he's allowed to throw without pressure he'll kill you all game. He's very good off play-action.

 

[voljerm]

Any idea on when he expects to make a decision? Seems like I remember reading that he is a possible EE.

 

[rockytop114]

we need this guy. attitude and ability

Dear Football Gods,

It's been awhile, we're due a little luck. Please let us land Green and Henry, let Patterson, Hunter, and Bray return, and let the 3-4 defense really take hold next season.

I'd pay big money for this to come true.

OR... if we win, the recruits will come. Depends on how you look at it.

I agree 100%.

disagree on Peterman. he is a gunslinger.

that's exactly what he was in HS. (Think Aaron Rogers.)

athletically, he's Just as good as EJ Manuel from FSU.


either way, lets Hope DGreen becomes a Vol

Ya, Peterman was described as gunslinger many times, but he's also very mobile. I think he ends up better than Bray because of the mobility and maturity. He may not have as big an arm, but he seems more cerebral, and I think that's good in a QB. JMO.

 

[LotteryPick]

I truly think Peterman is the next big thing for us. He's the total package, and he's an intelligent leader.

I Don't know how you can say that at this point.

 

[matts42012]

Petermen will make us all proud.

 

[Ertel]

Does he have a set announcement date yet? Can't remember

Peterman reminds me of Aaron Murray
