So it's Hobbs and Gilliam as true bona-fide good starters

Then Nathan Robinson who was solid

Utley and Campbell played a lot as true freshmen

Charles House will be a second year DT.

Then how many freshman are DT's?

Gooden, Carter, Rivers, Finch, Albert, Simmons?

interested to hear how the freshmen are, because it looks like we will need some of them to be ready.

Maybe one day you’ll step out from behind a computer, tell a 6’5 300 lb 20 year old he’s fragile, record it and let us watch you get broken in half in 10 seconds. I’d pay good money to see it.

I have no problem calling someone out in person when they are being a jackass. Never have and never will. Have to do it at about every UT game unfortunately as people like you embarrass themselves and those around them.

It doesn't have to mean, "he's fragile." He's playing one of the most brutal sports on the planet, but you obviously already knew that with your eloquently put "Shocker, Fragile" comment.

He plays significantly less games than his peers doing the exact same thing

If you’d like to know where I sit, just ask.

He played 11 games as a freshman, 13 as a soph and 8 as a jr. 32 games as a Vol. Hours of work and solid repping the University on and off the field, still a season to go and has people dogging him 6 months before the first game. Pathetic people imo.

He’s played 32 games as a Vol and has had 1 start in 3 years. He’s a former 5 star recruit, he ain’t supposed to be having 1 start under his belt heading into his senior year

I believe if you looked at top programs around the country, you’d see a whole lot of young DTs who don’t start behind upperclassmen as they have boy strength going against man strength in the trenches. We also had portal older linemen come in, besides the upperclassmen we already had like Big O and others.
I also don’t focus DTs starting as we rotate and he’s been in the rotation when healthy.
To say we need him to step up and healthy is true. To say he’s had injuries set him back is true.
To call the man weak or fragile is an insult, and he doesn’t deserve to be insulted by nameless people on a vol fan board. I say if people want to insult him, step up, send him an IG DM with a name behind it and go for it.

How does that prove anything? The multitude of random ways to get injured on the football field doesn't have to correlate to playing time. Do the chances of getting injured go up the more you're on the field? Sure, but it doesn't prove the so-called fragility to which we're discussing.

He has bad luck or is wuss, probably a combination

Don’t act like there aren’t tons of pro athletes and now college (non-students) completely content on collecting a paycheck

Deadass, was Hendon hooker “fragile” because he tore his ACL from a non contact injury? NO! The fact of the matter is that this is football. These players are basically the Avengers compared to the rest of us. The best way to describe college football is a car wreck at 60 miles an hour while wearing a helmet, cleats, and shoulder pads. Doesn’t mean you’re fragile, just means you get hurt a bunch
