If you are big and fast, or if you just think you can get to the QB every once in a while, tryouts will be held tomorrow morning at 10am. If you are interested just show up at Krystal on the strip.

How does a UT team wake up one morning and have no defensive ends to speak of?

If we do not have major scheme changes in the next few years, we are in deep doo doo. We do not have the talent to line up and beat people without a few wrinkles.

Not trying to make excuses for phil here.But guys your right we are not going to outtalent alot of teams anymore.So guess what the coaching has to get better.That isn't happening obviously.Phil has to recruit against good coaches in about every state around us for talent.It used to not be that way.In short phil has lost his edge on getting guys to just come to tennessee because there isn't anywhere better.Now there are plenty of places around here to play on a big stage.

you can't really blitz when the secondary is this bad.

Yea I didn't expect a lot of blitzes, and our best defences don't blitz a lot b/c they get pressure from the D-line.

What would blitzing have mattered? they would have just missed tackles in a different spots on the field.

But why is the secondary so bad? I know we lost some people, but I also know that we supposedly had great recruiting classes full of talent. Why are they not ready?

The secondary didn't get us beat. I could have gotten open with the time that Longshanks had tonight.

just the opposite for me. if we can't generate pressure with our front line (and we cannot), then we have to help our secondary by bringing heat to force QBs to get rid of the football. It's better than giving the QB time to find receivers who are going to be open whether we blitz or not. DBs can't truly cover good receivers, but QB pressure can certainly make it look that way.

Longshore looked like a twelve year old gorilla every time we applied some pressure, but we just stopped because we had to try and focus on the run due to our inability to even sniff a stop.

If I could have two questions answered tonight they would be:
1. How did the well run dry on the DLine
2. Why didn't we recruit a kicker during Wilhoit's soph year.

good point. I suppose it works together. I believe it was overstreet who was just on the post game show talking about how DE's of the past were able to take on double teams which made a big difference. I'm sorry that X got hurt, but he was disappointing. As for the secondary, they are going to be good I believe that it's just going to take time with a young team.
