Darrell Taylor says coaching has made him better

[TennesseeTarheel]

If a nice jersey was in my future, it would be number 19.

Sounds like Tracy Rocker also deserves some credit as well

It would be a very good thing to get Tracy some big nastys to anchor or add much needed depth to our DLine in the next couple of years. We have a big boy committed from Nashville,(Simmons?), I think is his name. I hope Rocker can make a nose-tackle out of him because this fellow goes 350+ lbs. Suppose to be fast for his size.

Gooden, maybe?

Butler and D.Johnson with Gooden seem to be the best 3 coming back. They seem to be getting the most reps with Johnson taking Kongbo's spot.

He's a project but he's a member of his hs track team doing sprint relays. Somebody thinks he's fast.

Taylor's performance from the DLINE this past Saturday was the best I have seen since Derek Barnett in 2016. Dude was an absolute beast. Glad he returns next year because we lose a lot on the D LINE.

A guy on 247 was critical of CJP for not fawning over Taylor’s accomplishments. Hopefully we ALL know by now JP not going to do that. He’s team team team and individual accomplishments are an afterthought to him and I completely agree. You don’t see Saban doing that either. Just a thought.

 

[tennrich1]

But that doesn’t diminish Taylor’s incredible performance Saturday

 

[KingGenius]

I think he comes back and gets some more of that coaching he's talking about and puts himself in a spot to move up the charts.

If he gets another 10+ sacks next year, he will go 1st round.

Taylor is one of my favorite players on this team. When he said WGWTFA at the battle at Bristol, I knew he was going to be special. Saturday’s performance proved it.

Hilarious

Hes a freak athlete. Like all 350 lb peeps he will need to get in much better shape to play meaningful snaps.

Lawless was reported to be cleared to enroll at UNC in August but he does not appear to be on their roster.

Maybe grayshirted? If they were trying to add someone else.

He might sneak in this year.

Dude showed Jeveon Kearse type athleticism on Saturday. He seemed very motivated to show he was the best edge player and not Josh Allen.

Taylor was a WR/KR in high school.
At 256 lbs now, i still think he is sub 4.5.


He'll get 3 more sacks this Saturday.

DT attributes coaching in making him better this year.

Darrell Taylor sets career-high for sacks against Kentucky

And Pruitt says two of em he was unblocked and of course he should have sacked the QB! Love it. He cracks me up, even when I know he’s not making jokes.

C'mon man. Can't we have just one thread without you trying to start a QB controversy?

 

[KeyVol14]

Great for Taylor

Question: Who do we have coming back on the DL that can contribute and be a decent SEC D lineman?

Taylor is eligible...Goodwin will be back and I expect mincey to improve. Savion Williams is a kid I like coming out of JUCO as well

Taylor needs to build off his Kentucky performance and show much more consistency in performance. He seems to have the talent and explosiveness at times to be an outstanding player, but then he disappears for games at a time in terms of making a significant outcome. He has 7 sacks this season, all of which came in 2 games, none in the other 8. Reggie was special, Derek was special, Al was special.....Darrell still has a ways to go.

 

[dcm3w]

If he steps it up the next two games, he could easily be draft material. But I think he will come back.

He would need to come back for a higher status. 7 of his sacks were in 2 games which were quality opponents but it doesn't show the consistency of producing every game. He was also a nonfactor last year which isn't really all of his fault since Butch killed the program. If he comes back next year and produces then he could sniff the 1st or 2nd round.

I read this after I posted lol but I basically reiterated the same thing. You right
