[TrippieRedd]

Take both Walter and Mathis.

Move Hobbs over to SDE

SDE: Hobbs / Dye
DT: Evans / Mathis
DT: Gilliam / Mathis
Edge: Chaz / Literally anyone

Mathis can rotate wherever

If Farooq is on the field, they have failed.

Bet you see a better Farooq next year with an actual coach teaching him. He has ability.

Remember when "that first visit" was a thing?

Don’t forget about Utley and Campbell. We need another EDGE IMO

What

 

[ENGRVOL]

Vols are ruining college football by buying up all the players while poorer schools like Oregon (#10) and Texas Tech (#12) can’t compete

Sorry can’t type in blue font

 

[VOLATNES]

If Farooq is on the field, they have failed.

Or they coached him up.

It’s almost as if we should have waited and see how the portal turns out before having a mental breakdown.

Just a thought….

Farooq is a dog. He was not perfect. But he was also very young and inexperienced and on a terrible defense.

What if we, I don’t know maybe this is crazy. Root for Vols that want to be here?

I agree, but I'm also 100% certain that the moment folks don't get one of the toys they want from the portal again, they will meltdown like a toddler in Target all over again.

Yep...

lsu, big brother was one of the best corners in the country for lsu this year

 

[swchandler1988]

Where are the dudes that were freaking out over the staff not closing?

 

[JMSqb11]

So we just imported a chunk of Penn State’s defense (Coaching / Players)….. this has been a SERIOUS offseason of maturation for Heupel.

Great stuff, Josh

 

[seaofORANGE22]

Farooq had 4 forced fumbles his first year on the field. Give me that guy on my defense all day.

 

[HeuperDrive]

I’ll admit I was losing faith in this portal class. I said some things that probably aged poorly. I was probably wrong more than I was right. And I couldn’t be happier about that fact.

FILL THE BOAT UP HEUP

Their phones got taken away from them

 

[Legion of Doom]

Great job by staff getting help we needed.

 

[SugarCC]

I hate it after game day threads where I lose it from drinking all day lol.

But I was thinking about this yesterday and hoping he keeps receipts lol

I try and stay as far away from this place on gameday, whenever we are losing. Only family sees me make an ass of myself whenever we lose. I blame it on the scotch, too. In the privacy of my own home, I've fired Heup over a thousand times...500 during the Vandy game alone.


Don't tell anyone.

Farooq is a big time hitter too. It was a crime against humanity that he wasn't used as a robber/spy. I think he would've lit Pavia's country music award on fire.

The Tulane kid could jump in the boat as well, plays SDE

I think so, too.
Now that he will have development, he's going to be a problem.
