Well that sounds real nice, but based on his body of work, he doesn't seem to have the correct body lean or agility to be a top performer.

Have you thought about there being a possibility that he has been training for a year to improve as a player? Also have you read the reports and interviews from coaches saying how comfortable he has looked playing in space this spring/fall? Maybe he hasn’t played to his potential thus far but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t can’t in this defense with new coaches. He is built perfectly for the role so I would wait to judge him after we see him perform some when the season starts

He seems to have an incredible fanclub on here. He's always been built perfectly and a workout warrior. Same story every year, we'll see. Maybe it will click for him.

I just made a few changes..forgot about Buchanan starting at corner.. I forgot about Jordan Allen and moved Deandre Johnson to 3rd team. I didn’t take injury rehab into consideration FYI...

Ok I’m going to take a shot at it here. Some of these positions are easy but some are hard to guess. Here is my 2 Deep... anyone agree or disagree? I’d like to read your opinions...

Offense
QB - Cryst/ Guarantano
RB - Chandler/ London
TE - Wood-Anderson/ Wolf
FB - Pope/ Blakeley
WR - Jennings/ Tillman
WR - Calloway/ Latrell Williams
WR - B. Johnson/ Byrd
OT - Richmond/ Tatum
OG - Trey Smith/ Locklear
C - Kennedy/ Johnson
OG - Ryan Johnson/ Locklear
OT - Hall/ Tatum


Defense
DE - Phillips/ Butler
NT - Tuttle/ Gooden
DE - A. Johnson/ K. Bennett
OLB - D. Taylor/ Austin Smith
ILB - Kirkland/ Sapp
ILB - Bituli/ Ignont
OLB - Kongbo/ Jordan Allen
Corner - Alontae Taylor/ Osborne
Corner - B. Buchanan/ Kenneth George Jr.
Nickel - Shamberger/ Theo jackson
S - Warrior/ Todd Kelly
S - Abernathy/ Flowers

If you expand JG's last season stats not even considering any improvement he may have made he still had a decent year. He threw it 139 times with just two interceptions. 62 percent completions. 129 QB Rating needs to get that up to around 150 which should be reachable if he is quicker on reads and not taking sacks. He didn't play terrible considering the OL play. We have to hope that his and the OL's progression is high. I can see him completing 200 of 320 passes for 2500 yards. He had close to a 1000 yards on 86 completions on 139 throws last season.
We must have a running game if he is to improve his numbers dramatically.

Not quite that simple. He contributed to the poor line play. People keep blaming the OL but the QB made the line calls in Jones' O. The QB was responsible for recognizing blitz and getting the ball out on time.

It is nothing but good if JG develops mentally and emotionally. I think he's being coached better now. I have a hard time imagining a worse "system" than Jones' hot mess. The best thing we can do with last year... is hope that it has no predictive power on how any of the Vols play this year.

When is Pruitt going to release the depth chart for West Virginia? My guess is he’s not going to lol... If he does he’ll probably have co-starters all over the place so nobody really knows what’s going on.

At this point I highly doubt Latrell Williams makes the 2 Deep. I would put in Jordan Murphy instead. Also, I think WR Palmer gets in the 2 Deep instead of Tillman.

My other picks are pretty close imo but some injuries may also move a few guys around. Pruitt is definitely keeping things close to the vest ala Saban.

He didn’t play football so it’s all new to him. Maybe with some actual coaching he can develop. Otherwise he’ll have to go the WWE route

Ty Chandler will be the first RB to take the field, imo.

Jordan was 1st in Spring Game and was more impressive in my opinion. Runs hard and has good agility and vision. Chandler has good speed but I've seen about the same amount of playing time from both and I like Jordan better for an every down back. Chandler has good speed but I'm waiting to see the rest.

They will all play though.

What time does the depth chart come out today?

It's out:

OFFENSE:
  • QB - Or
  • RB - Or-Or
  • WR1 - Or
  • WR 2 - Marquez Callaway
  • WR 3 - Brandon Johnson
  • TE - Or-Or
  • LT - Trey Smith
  • LG - Or
  • C - Brandon Kennedy
  • RG - Or
  • RT - Or-Or
DEFENSE:
  • DE - Kyle Phillips
  • NT - Shy Tuttle
  • DE - Alexis Johnson
  • Jack LB - Jonathan Kongbo
  • Sam LB - Darrell Taylor
  • Mike LB - Daniel Bituli
  • Will LB - Or
  • CB1 - Or
  • CB2 - Baylen Buchanan
  • S1 - Nigel Warrior
  • S2 - Micah Abernathy
SPECIAL TEAMS:
  • PK - Brent Cimaglia
  • P - Or
  • LS - Or
The "Ors" mean (obviously) that they refused to name a starter, instead listing two or three who might. Like JG and KC at QB. Jordan and Chandler and London at RB. Etc.

Really being careful not to show their hand on offense. I think the defensive and ST questions are truly still open competition...but there are far too many shrugs in the offense for that all to be unknowns. They're simply hiding info from West Virginia.
