but there is absolutely no reason why he shouldnt be dominating Football games like LSU's Drake Nevis does.

He's as talented as Nevis, Bigger and as strong.

Im tired of hearing about "work ethic" concerns.

this team needs Hughes to fulfill his potential and play up to his talent level

/end rant.

I wouldn't get nearly as mad if he didn't show flashes of dominance.

At times, he completely controls the LOS then disappears for two games.

This is true. He is going to get doubled almost all the time because UT doesn't have another DT who can win one on one consistently enough to make other teams pay. Walls' injury was just huge in this regard.

I agree with Nevis being quicker and more explosive

Yeah he draws doubles like every play because they usually let the wind block Ayres.

Just depends on what you want.

Nevis penetrates, Hughes pushes the pile. Both are effective.

Absolutely, but Nevis' style will get his name mentioned by commentators more. I prefer the Hughes type player as an anchor. Unfortunately for us, it doesn't matter that he can keep people off our linebackers.

I think he'd be better and more consistent if he had some competition for snaps. Right now, he knows he's got 1 DT spot locked down while Ayers/V Thomas/Bowens/Fowlkes/Sykes/Jeffery battle it out for PT at the 2nd spot. I imagine it's a lot easier for him to lose intensity than, for example, Shaw, who knows that Fulton is taking his spot if he lets up a little bit.

he could be as good as any we 've here or not. profound, i know but potential is a very dangerous word that gets coaches fired.

The way people are talking about him, I thought he was a Top 100 Rivals player.

Fulmer found him. They saw him at camp with no real fanfare, took one look at him and offered on the spot. Kept it quiet and he never really caught on with rivals/scout and other teams. That was a steal in the truest sense of the word.

He has drawn quite a few, but not as many as I thought he would. Even when he isn't double teamed, it still seems as if he isn't getting any penetration. I don't know if he's trying to keep from getting hurt or the most likely reason is that many people (including myself) expected too much of such a young player.

Dude is obviously big and athletic. However, when you look around in the DT film room, I doubt there's much concern for being jumped on the depth chart.

and those that don't recognize lack of weekly potential to lose one's job as limiting coach motivational techniques simply don't know athletics.

Should be pushing the "play like this, you'll be lucky to wear a suit Monday through Friday, play like this, you'll be suiting up on Sunday"

It's motivation for both players in the race. That's one thing that Kiffin had right in his coaching philosophy that Fulmer had dead wrong.
