Didn't realize Fowlkes is that big. Believe he is a DE isn't he? Are Brown and Clark going to qualify academically? Are Bowens amd Ayres any good?

 

[sjt18]

They're trying to make Fowlkes a DT I believe. He's not there yet.

Doubtful about Bowens and Ayers but the rest have a good opportunity to contribute. Monte loved Jeffery but he was coming off a knew injury. Hard to say if the last staff nailed it with him or whiffed. I didn't hear anything about him from the spring... not a particularly good sign.

don't trust those weights. Dooley said last night in Nashville, there were only 3 players on the defense who exceed 280 pounds. Don't trust those weights

 

[you]

Art Jeff will do good with his limited playing time

 

[Vols_Fanatic518]

Malik Jackson?

Hughes, Jeffrey's, and Clark. Doubt he includes Bowens. Brown is around 280.

I think I could pull a pretty good line out of that bunch,with decent depth!! Chuck Smith will have those guys breathing fire by gametime!!!

 

[Smokeybluetick]

Malik Jackson?

Yup!!!!

 

[Smokeybluetick]

We have as many great looking DE's as we have WR's, could be interesting on Defense. If you have seen the youtube footage of Boise's defenses with Wilcox in charge (mostly posted by rival fans complaining about cheap shots and head-hunting Oakland Raider style!!! Look it up its scary and I'm sure he has better athletes in Knoxville even with us down! Spread specialist, who knows but I can't wait to get a look. They will be playing without pressure and with reckless abandon,V,B

Actually if 3/4 of those guys are in "game shape" then we could rotate heavily and actually be pretty good up front, scheme will take on new meaning..........
