It's laughable that this was such a big deal, and misreported. The blurred player wasn't the quarterback who threw the ball, it was a TE working in a red jersey no-contact jersey. Apparently Tennessee has been blurring out no-contact players for quite a while now, so they don't give away anything to opponents during game weeks. It doesn't matter much this time of year, but I guess they're sticking to protocol.
Have you seen the receiver room? How the hell do you enter the season with 7 scholarship receivers? Especially considering the mountain of injuries they’ve had. Heck, they lost more WRs in the off season than they kept. I’m sorry, but that’s terrible roster management.Looks to me like we have used the portal a bit ... to address our needs.
Yeah, that's a good point. Would have liked to hold Awaka for last year. We were a bit thin in the post after losing JPE. Could have been a little that could have gotten over the hump. Maybe? But, all in all the Xfer portals have been a net + for us. We'll see in the next couple months about the highest profile one of all.
Yeah Carr was obviously too mentally soft to carry us deep. But Awaka was that enforcer and rebounder with an up and coming offensive game that may have given our offense at least SOME inside-out opportunities. Once JP was gone our post offense was reduced to put backs and lobs. Felix was a year away even though they tried him there early. What might have been.
To this point none of the projected starters have been on the practice field together at the same time. Brazzell has yet to be out there. And that’s with a new QB. 3 of your 7 scholarship receivers are true freshman. How in the heck they can afford to let Squirel walk away, or Webb, or any of those serviceable guys is a mystery. There were a ton of receivers out there in the portal. WTH?Concerning for sure. But, Heupel doesnt rotate WRs in game so we should be ok...maybe...
