opcorn:

i was right on. I only said DL in that post bc i knew he was getting a crack there first. He could do either one. Thats how it unfolded too. Hes gonna be a good one.

If they want to stack up the middle, play action all day. We will have guys open over the middle a lot. You're right about Worley keeping the ball. We cant be predictable.

No question play action is the way to go and our WRs will be open. Can Worley hit the slants consistently?

He should be able to. I am wondering the same question.

Oline setting up to be very run oriented. Hurd and lane about to go HAM

No way bro! With our receivers and RBs we will be extremely balanced and unbalanced at CBJs choosing.

Robertson must be very physical if they benched Coleman Thomas. He was the hottest name and nastiest on the O-line from all the talk.

From the few clips I've seen, this kid looks like he is strong as a bull. Him and K-Mac are going to have some epic battles in practice the next few years.

Crazy how the on guy I never thought would end up at UT, is now starting at OG for UT. Recruiting is crazy.

Crazy how the on guy I never thought would end up at UT, is now starting at OG for UT. Recruiting under Butch and this staff is awesome!

It is a nice surprise. Jashon must be a pretty smart guy to pick things up so quickly.

Blows my mind that he is ready for SEC football from a strength standpoint. Can't wait to watch him plow the way for Lane and Hurd!

There will be plenty of passes thrown. I'm just saying our starting oline is looking like a nice one for the run game. Jackson, Robertson and kerbyson are much better run blockers than pass pros. I'm not saying they are bad at pass pro just saying they are really good at run block. Kerbyson was always the 6 oline last year to come in run block situations. I don't know much about Crowder and Gilliam strengths.

Brent Hubbs called him the biggest surprise of fall camp today on 104.5

on what do you base this opinion, especially since one of them is a true freshman?

Wrestling makes you VERY strong. It makes you good in tight situations, good with hand control, and quick to react to incoming threats. Other than his obvious football talent, I would almost guarantee that it's because of his wrestling skills that he is where he is. JMO of course.

I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to more this fall, UT winning 9+ or Vandy only winning 4-5....it's close.

Dang Ron, seeing this on Jashon's second page gave me bad feels. That was back in 2012

Ron is/was the eternal optimist. I think his brand of kool-aid drinking enthusiasm has been missing lately.

hes ready for an NFL Combine from a strength standpoint. His bench reps would have been top 10 last yr. Hes a beast.

Butch did make a point about his wrestling ability being a factor.

The only problem is that I believe Ron was referring to the 2013 season and not this year.

Run blocking is easier to pick up than pass blocking. Plus, his strength is great for a true freshman.

 

[buffaloblue]

Great fit at guard in this offense even though everything points to D.

The right move is guard imo.

Glad to see we got him over to Guard so quickly.

Never saw the front end explosion of a high level DT.

The core strength of Jashon should lead to great things from him.

Seems like most of Butches' under the radar pickups are showing out.

Love to see a pulling guard destroy a LB or DE

It is a beautiful thing

Shoot, just give him the ball...

Yes it is. Very beautiful to see a LB or DB get flatbacked.
