McNeil was "comfortable just showing up for the games"

[Voldaddy]

And really, really, really lazy. He was more concerned about what he bench-pressed than what he did in games or practice

Who, Camel-Toeina or Jacques McClendon?

Our O-line has been nothing but power-lifting marshmallows, content to set bench press records and get their asses whipped by D-linemen.

Nothing exactly groundbreaking here, but IMO this little article is required reading because it sums up everything about the cultural change that has come to Tennessee football.

Good things are on the way.

McNeil comes around to Kiffin's concept GoVolsXtra

Same as his (ex) coaching staff, huh?

Go Vols.

Or as hatvol96 calls them, "jelly-assed wannabe powerlifters".

It's not all the fault of the previous linemen. Hell, it's not like they had a good position coach to actually teach them how to do anything right.

Having a good line coach is arguably the most important part of a college staff. For the most part, a dominant high school lineman is that way because he has a great deal more size and strength than his opponents. A college line coach needs to actually mold that into something that is effective against whoever his opponent may be.

When you have a pathetic coach (i.e. Adkins), you see the end result...an offensive coordinator in Cutcliffe who throws his hands up and says, "Anything more than a 3-step drop will be a sack" and another in Clawson who refused to actually believe that performance that abominable actually happened this side of the Big Sky Conference.
