DL outside of Barnett, and missing JRM and DK

No doubt the injuries are a huge issue but a part of me just wants the D to sell out on defending the run and make the QB beat us. Putting 3 LBs in the lineup seems a way to do that.

I'll have to disagree on AJ getting off blocks that's one reason he made those tackles so far from the line he was talking about. He's attacked ball carriers and Qb's more in one year than AJ did altogether. Never was a fan. AJ had what one sack or something like that? Love DK.

I think Aj did a better job getting off blocks later in his career. Earlier I would agree. He done a way better job of clogging up running lanes in the middle his last year. That's one thing I don't see from Dk that I wish he'd do. Like you said though agree to disagree.

Our best talent is 4-2-5. Our LB's (with injuries) are that bad

Their players receive the best coaching this side of a college campus.
If they had to play a schedule like Miami central, booker t or any top Miami Hs, that record and those individual rankings wouldn't be so high.

Have to be careful of kids who have been tremendously coached up at a young age. They always look better than their counterpart scholastic player who is as talented as them. later on the playing field evens out

When it all shakes out in a couple years, that team is not as good and their players aren't what people are hyping them up to be
Think along the lines of say a Dillon Bates ...

Sorry for derailing the thread because I do Like Ignont a ton.

I agree that is the best talent group for sure but that group is getting gashed on the ground. Just seems like it's worth trying 4-3 and Bynum to me.

Having Kirkland back for the last five games will fix the problem.

If you took DK out of picture, you might have a point. I think Bynum would be very helpful against the run in the 4-3.

Ran into one of his coaches today at the gas station on my way home and he was headed to north jackson. He said he is a good character kid who has made minor mistakes like any other kid. Also said he has only been playing lb for 2 years now. I asked him about the bad weight that I have read earlier in the posts and he said the kid has no bad weight. Said about a 32 waist but is very strong in his upper body. He also said he is 110% sure he will stick with the vols. He comes from a great family and is a head hunter with great instincts. That's about all I got while we was standing in line checking out.

I hope that is what it is and he truly is interested in playing here, because I am always a little hesitant to recruit a player from Alabama that has legit offers from Alabama and/or Auburn.

And if they do not have legit offers from them, I wonder if they are that good.

Have you ever been to Alabama? Take a road trip down there in July. You will see reasons why.

I get where you are coming from, but some good players go out of state to avoid distractions from staying at home.

Per Hubbs

Tennessee landed one of its top remaining targets at a position of need Wednesday night when Will Ignont pulled the trigger just about three weeks after rekindling interest in the Vols.

So, how did it happen so quickly?

From what we understand, Tennessee gives Ignont his two most important attributes he's looking for; early playing time and close to home. LSU was a realistic option because of his connections to Louisiana, but with no head coach in place and time ticking on how long the linebacker spot would be open at Tennessee, Ignont decided he had seen enough.

Tommy Thigpen put in a lot of time over the last three weeks convincing him Tennessee was the best option as Auburn was still in the mix as well, but Ignont looked at that situation and felt like it would take longer to see the field.

Tennessee looks to be done at that position unless a big-time guy decides to want in or they lose two commitments.
