Either DL gonna be unreal good or

OL has a looonng way to go.

I think I know the answer

Gonna be a long year

 

[cwbytruckers]

Its spring. Not fall. We good. They got this. God i hope so.

 

[XknoxvolsX]

Wonder how many other fan bases are pondering the same thing? Still have four and a half months to go.

Indeed. For context, DL is well below SEC average with no experience.....and they’re dominating the OL.

 

[wmcovol]

Once the heat got off the QBs a little, All looked capable. Boy the protection has to improve thou.

 

[Admiral_Goatfield]

We have some really good young QBs

 

[Ten_Titans]

2 starters not out there....

3 if you think Trey Smith is coming back.

 

[wmcovol]

1) it really made the game very slow to begin with. Tough to watch and wasn’t real exciting.
2) you show your opponents early what you can’t handle on the OL
3) much less but you’re showing some of your blitzes (probably will see it from last yrs film anyway)

I’d recommend starting playing D pretty basic early then later show a couple of blitz plays but not many. Jmo

 

[VolForLife83]

Because our o line needs to be forced to grow up and needs to learn to deal with those situations. Will only take one game for teams to figure it out anyway

 

[vavolfan6]

Considering all the starters today were backups last year when our D-Line was average at best, I think there should be concern over the O-Line's performance today.

 

[KBVol]

So our QBs can get used to seeing what it’s gonna be like vs a decent SEC team doing nothing but rushing 3-4 players without. JG, Maurer and Shrout are gonna get murdered this year, might as well try to give em a taste of what it’s gonna be like.

 

[photovol]

Both the Dline and the Oline are suspect, you can only make so much progress in 1 year.

I still think think this team can win 6 or 7 games this year.... patience is the word in Knoxville, patience and more patience

 

[tntar heel]

I kinda liked it. Got to see the QB's think a little under pressure and see how dbs pick up slack without LB's dropping into zone. A little more like a real game than the pro-bowl.

None of the blitz packages shown today were secret or revolutionary. I liked the 1 v 1 as iron sharpens iron . Defense usually is ahead of the offense early on in the season and spring. Plus everyone always says let’s not show anything. I say show it all. It makes coaches stay up late prepping for stuff you’ll never use.

All teams have tape from last year and know it’s literally anything they see. Don’t need to watch a meaningless spring game to know that Tennessee easily has the worst OL in the conference if not the country as well.

Why not?

So we can see how the backups to Trey Smith, Brandon Kennedy and Darnell Wright will look like!

Thanks coach.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

It's early but it's also a lot easier to get a sack on a touch play.

Also when TE is wearing black, it is difficult for him to block.

 

[CA_Vol]

I’ve been saying it, this is a 7-5 team. Make a bowl and keep recruiting.

 

[wmcovol]

Thanks coach.

You’re welcome.

There’s an ignore button. Feel free to use it.

This, our Oline will look a lot different come September. I also think our dline will be solid especially if Solomon cleared.

 

[lynnh]

I don't think Vols have a D line or Oline that can compete in SEC , this is spring game I know and I'm thankful it was didn't see much to be excited about …………...GO VOLS
