Anybody notice Kongbo ...

[Remy]

seemed to be playing DT pretty well AND was enthusiastic with the team lifting CBJ into the air at the end! Did not look like a malcontent or transfer to me, and you?

I also noticed this. It seems that Kongbo is coming into his own on the squad. Might even become a leader for the defense next year given how emotional he seems on the field. Other players also seem to like/respect him.

 

[crazyguy]

He's going to be good.

He's going to be good.

If McKenzie can stay healthy and Alexis Johnson gets it together, it could be a solid SEC defense in 2017. Kongbo can be a load to scheme against if he keeps improving.

 

[Biopsyman]

Needs to add 20-25LBS to play inside effectively

 

[coffeevol]

He was the Gatorade dumper

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

He looks much more comfortable at DT.

 

[BJSforVols]

Yes. Looked as if he has finally bought in to DT and realizes his football future (including NFL) is at DT.

 

[VolBricks]

He will be given a shot at DE in the spring.

[madbamahater]

He looked like a kid ready to transfer tomorrow

 

[hardyemt_p]

Yea but seeing him loop outside to get the QB shows the speed that will get him a starting slot at DE...

 

[tbones0711]

ain't big enuf yet to play DT all game. He prefers the end position.

u full of it too!

 

[volfannbama]

He looked pretty good. What I noticed most was his attitude and fight. Just a few weeks ago people wanted this guy kicked off the team. Guy played hard, every in tune with his teammates.

But he should be playing DE. With Barnett gone next year it I think it would be better to put Kongbo at end and just put some big dude at DT rather than play Kongbo at DT and have some dude at DE. Hopefully it wont get to that point with injuries next season.

Doesn't sound like he wants it anymore. Paul Fort was on the 104.5 pregame, and he indicated Kingbo has finally seen that DT is his future and wants to be there.

That's not what Paul Fort was saying on 104.5 today before the game.

 

[musolfmj]

Build on his finish, be the impact player we hoped he would be, and who gives a flip which position it is at.

 

[VolZen]

We gave up 61 yards rushing tonight. Kongbo had a big hand in that. Hats off to Shoop and the staff getting these guys ready over the layoff.

 

[Vols_74]

Not the right thread but did Kyle Phillips play today?

 

[LittleVol]

Yeah he did

 

[Other_Guy]

Yeah he did

So did Paul Bain!

 

[Vols_74]

Yeah he did

Thank you. I only got to see a little of the game but from what I saw the defense played much better

 

[QuickSmurf]

I noticed Kongbo is fast as lightening. He gonna be a star.
