This is speculation, though I believe with a foundation of reason to believe to be a prophetic truth.
The 2012 team returns to the tradition of a big and now it seems mean OL. It appears the OL has put strength work in and as per CSP and CDD, playing with a bit of aggression which he preferred to as violence last season. The new OL coach appears to be insisting the OL become road graders running on jet fuel instead of diesel. With an attitude of get the h3ll out of the way.
The 2012 RBs under Graham's stress for aggressive running plus ball security are responding according to both CJG and CSS. I think we will see the return or semblance of the down your throat running attack from days of old.
The defense isn't fully back having a slight bit of thinness here and there but nothing like the past 3-4 years. However, under CSS they seem to be better conditioned, better talent, and being trained to have a just downright nasty attitude. I don't know a freaking thing but I think what I read between the lines is CSS is here to show his work in Alabama wasn't due to Sabanism but rather due to Sunseri-ism. Consequently, I look to see a hard playing Tennessee defense win, lose, or draw.
The only concern I really have is CDD maybe doing some Fulmeric foolishness by rotating quarterbacks. Yeah, I know Wes Miles did this with some success but often this isn't a smart thing to do. Bray appears to be the man though it apparently isn't his way to act take charge and be vocal about it. When all there, he gets the job done and with the WR arsenal he has now, that should be more true now than it ever was. Remember when he had Gerald Jones and Denarius Moore? Two experienced WRs and of course Hunter and Da'Rick thrown in from time to time but it was the seniors mostly. Bray threw his head off. Now with the same type of thing featuring JH and DR as very talented and experience WRs, he will do the same. Once again we will have a at least 2 if not more newcomer WRs that can spot the vets when needed. If CDD is smart, he won't tamper with this by experimenting with Worley and Peterman unless it's mop up duty. Of course if Bray falters it's nice to know we have two QBs who would perform better than the unfortunate Matt Simms. So CDD don't mess with a sure thing by rotating your QBs if Bray is making plays and he will. Plus he has a close personal and on field relationship with JH and DR, just don't mess with it when there is no cause to.
Barring injuries and further attrition, I think pieces in place for us to either win the SEC-east or finish 2nd at the worse. I look for vengeance games vs. Vandy and KY meaning very high scores with the SOS (Sons of Sunkist -Bray, DR, JH) insisting on staying in the game after it becomes a runaway.
By the prickling of my thumb, something wicked this way comes.
