As long as CRG is here I will never worry about DL.

You mean the DL that got man handled by every team we played this year that was not
the little blind sisters of the poor?
Thinking any position group on our team is good much less elite is in error.
The Don't Worry, Be Happy approach will not improve the Vols from a lower tier SEC program.
Better talent and more depth, good as he is until CRG has it there is no need to swing on his jock strap. Just a journeyman coach doing a job. I am not sure he can ever get the amount of 4 and 5 star talent needed at Tennessee. Do you think he relates well with modern players? The 2022 defensive recruiting can only be described as hind teat. How much of that blame is on him?

You just wake up from 2 years ago? The DL was probably our best unit.

Maybe OUR best.
Not good.
Certainly not elite.
Bottom tier SEC .
Were you drunk the whole season?
I was awake enough to see ONE win against a team with a winning conference record, we were fortunate to beat Kentucky.
I was awake enough to see every QB with legs run wild straight up the middle against our DL.
I was awake enough to notice our DL could not pressure a QB.
I was awake enough to see our DL on the verge of giving up toward the end of games.
I was awake enough to notice the DL did not impose their will on any team with a pulse.

I saw a 7-6 (4-4) team that did not have enough talent or depth on the DL.
Or anywhere else.
You do you, if you are content beating Vandy, KY, Misery, and SC lite brag all you want about what a great season the DL had.

I agree the defense last season was horrible slightly better than Sunseri. I don’t like Tim banks too much, and the d line I agree wasn’t that good. I think JH has the potential to be the guy but he needs a elite defensive staff

Just a life long Vol fan that has thrown away my orange tinted goggles.
The program would be in better shape if more fans ditched theirs also.
Football is entertainment for the unwashed masses. It ain't rocket surgery.
A football resume would look like what ? Even coaches only stand on their W/L record.
As a Tennessee fan my record would not be good.
Everyone has an opinion and like butt holes everybody else's stink.
I have donated and spent enough money on Vol football to have my opinion.

Fair enough! You said they quit and disagree!
They were also ranked 4th in total defense in the SEC. If the argument was about LB's I wouldn't have commented. Our DL played good this year...IMO!

I think yall need to take into account just how much pressure the pace of our offense puts on our defense. The plan is that they get a few stops and turnovers a game. They're not going to be able to post top defense numbers when they're on the field 70% of the game.

We don't really have any pass rushers on the roster. Maybe one. The rest are bad and great at trying to run through people's chest but have no moves or bend.

Idk that someone needs a football resume to see we pressured QBs very little. I do think our Dline was much better though.

The whole team was better than what Conehead put on the field.
Just getting functional made us better, a first baby step.
I will be happy with slow improvement; it will not be linear, winning a few more games each year until we are playing for championships in year 4. Those with a football resume will be screaming for a change soon enough when championships don't appear. They know football and believe like a damn Alabama fan that their program will be the best every year.
I lol at those who tout their football resume or ask someone for theirs. I can just about guarantee NFL coaches do not post or read fanboy college football forums. Everyone else who claims a football resume is living in the past glory they had as kids playing a game. And football players are not known to be the sharpest knife in the drawer.

But some think our DL was good without rushers or players who could control their gaps.
DL pressure and disruption is the cornerstone of any good defense.

Our game plan will only work if we score TDs on every possession.
Then 2 or three stops per game will beat anyone.
Until both happen, we can continue to stomp the cupcakes and bottom feeders and get stomped by the big boys. A winning SEC record is not likely anytime soon. SEC level DCs will soon slow down our offense. Could be a bust at QB that does it. Or an injury.
Ask the Bulldogs, defense still wins championships.

What CRG got out of his meager collection of defensive players was a unit with fight in them. The 2021 DL lacked depth, and talent. Further, these guys were on the field for extended periods of time throughout the season. Somehow, the team still won seven games. Somehow, despite being dead tired, they kept giving effort right into the 4th quarter, including that desperation push against Kentucky on the last play of the game. Under-manned, out-talented, "abandoned" on the field, injuries, and who knows what else, they kept climbing those steep hills. And it appears for the most part, even the end of season transferring players, appreciated playing for Tennessee. But cannivols will never understand something like this. Hopefully, CRG will get the upgrade in player talent and depth the team needs, either in 2022 and 2023, then we will see his true worth. Until then, perhaps we can appreciate that in 2021 we didn't get Pruited again.

Butler was a bright spot in an otherwise lackluster position group.

One of my favorite players from last season. He stuck it out through 5 years of BS instead of bailing on the program and going elsewhere.

47 total tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks is solid work from a DT. Scouts are noticing that more than a lot of the UT fans on here.

Look forward to seeing him on Sundays and hope he gets paid well for it.

Spend the rest of your life being miserable, old man. That’s your choice. You can spend your time here being positive or you can spend your time here spreading negativity. You’ve chosen the ladder. Have a great day, pal.
