I don't know about depth at receiver, but one or two of them need to be that guy, they haven't had that since Hyatt.. Need someone that can run past them and a guy or two that can body past them. Young Oline, new QB, runningback by committee. May need to get the liquor cabinet stocked up this year.

Lead by example. You can't bark at people and throw picks or fumble the ball. Nico seemed quiet, too passive, he had talent but seemd to lack the vocal leadership part. Noticed it at times last year when they proably could of used someone getting pissed off.

Probably right.. This offense depends on the deep ball and he didn't hit it enough.. We'll never know because Dad was greedy and the play wasn't worth the pay or a raise for that matter. Someone gave the kid bad advice that will likely cost him a lot of money in the long run. ULCA will be hot...

I think the defense will be solid but not quite as good as last year. The offense is where they're going too have to be a lot better. It'll be a tall order. All the skill guys are basically different and the QB will be as well. I felt like at times they were way too conservative offensively last...

This is true. It's always about the Jimmy's and Joe's and always will be. The recruiting is mid level and for what they're spending on it, makes you scratch your head why. He's done a good job but this will eventually catch up to him.

Can't struggle to put points on the board against SEC competition if you want any of that to happen this year. Heupel is kind of in a tough spot here. His offense needs to be better than the last two years. He'll have to do it with a new QB, kind of thin and unproven at receiver, no Dylan...

Guy can spin the tater and looks like he has a clue. I like it already..

Who cares.. Until the NCAA does something about all this garbage it's the wild wild west. I say the odds of Tennessee getting someone's starter here that could be plug and play is low. There is no doubt about it , Tennessee is in a bad spot here. Figures.. This soap opera the last 20 plus years...

Teams laid all over the field when they ran the hurry up deal and maybe Heupel just got fed up with it. Anyway we haven't really seen that offense since 22 like you said. Coaches have to adjust also at times and he's done that, but the offense hasn't looked the same for a few years now. That's...

I'm a little concerned with the perception that this offense doesn't prepare kids for the league, since that's their ultimate goal. Been hearing it too much from these talking heads. That hurts recruiting. Tennessee could use a few depth pieces here and there especially at receiver, crickets on...

The Tennessee offense was standing on the sidelines in that game (Dylan Sampson). Couldn't sustain any drives and OSU shredded our defense. You may have had a few guys giving less effort but i'd say Sampson not playing was a big part of it. Nico and the passing game was shat most of the year. We...

He may end up being great somewhere else but i had my doubts he was ever going to put this team on his back and carry them. He wasn't going to run 10-15 times a game and stay healthy, slow at reading defense, didn't see wide open receivers, overthrows. He was going to have take a huge leap this...

Well. I bet a bunch of coaches have silently thanked him for it. Nico and company really didn't give them much of a option. Somebody dangled the carrot and he bit on it.. Hope whoever it was has buyer's remorse in the end just like Tennessee did..

He may have screwed himself here. Whoever signs him after this will have to pay everyone else around him more money. Oregon may be his only option. Most other teams probably don't want the smoke and the headache he's become..

They couldn't cave in on that. Would have snowballed into a bigger issue with the whole team... It was the right move..
