Apologies. I'd figured you'd be relieved that it's a thread about something else instead of those one million threads about "The coaching staff sucks", "Fire Butch", "We suck", being made every day.
Kerbyson is probably the best OL on the team at any position.
Again, if it's an obvious repetitive thread as evidenced by the title, why did you jump on and post?
"As we first reported earlier this week, Drew Richmond has moved to left tackle --- his first time ever at the position --- and his early returns are extremely promising. Not only has Richmond been showing greater understanding and retention, but he's physically had his best week of on-field practice. Venzel Boulware also has been steadily improving. As we were told this week, "It's exciting to think about the nucleus of those four growing up together the next few years" in reference to Boulware, Hall, Jones and Richmond. There's no question that Hall and Richmond are viewed as the tackles of the future, with Hall again potentially earning starting privileges this season. Ditto for Jones."
It would be nice to see an A-Team Oline that consisted of the following:
RT Blair
RG Mosley
C Coleman
LG Robertson
LT Richmond
If these players were all at the top of their game...the Vols would have an outstanding Oline...backed by Jones, Hall, Kerbyson, Kendrick, Wiesman and Crowder. :dance2:
I know he's just a true freshman but Butch did everything in his power to get this 5 star kid to come to Knoxville. Apparently he's impressed the coaches and possibly sees playing time against Western Carolina this weekend. My question is, who else thinks he should start at RT over Kendrick? I've watched Kendrick get beat a couple of times against Oklahoma. Not saying Richmond will be 100% better but he can't be no worse. I think he deserves a shot.
Why do people keep calling for our seniors to get benched? Kerbyson has been solid for us and is a team leader...and he's going to keep playing his butt off cause this is his last year and he's got a whole heck of a lot more to play for than Richmond.
That's why I didn't understand the Crowder decision...the kid was a huge team leader, solid player, and a senior, and gets put on the shelf.
Both Kerbyson and Crowder still lead the team warmups and pre-game hype for goodness sakes. With Maggitt out, we need these guys to remain leaders in the lockerroom and on the field. Taking their spots away that they've bled for over four years to give to some unproven freshmen and sophomores isn't going to help.
