Most Improved Player of 2019?

[theFallGuy]

Curious everyone's thoughts on this. I tend to put Nigel Warrior up there. He used to be a liability on defense.

 

[scores4fun]

I would say Nigel on D and JG on O!

 

[TJ1985]

Defensive player - Warrior
Defensive unit - d line
Offensive player - JG
Offensive unit - o line

 

[bpalmer28]

Nigel defense. Jennings on offense.

Honorable mentions: Bituli, Bennet, Palmer, Bennet, R. Johnson

 

[Carl Pickens]

Warrior

 

[Ty4Vols]

Trey Smith

JG and Warrior also up there.

JG, he was a complete disaster up until a few weeks back. I like to think Jim Chaney is the reason for improvement, but who knows.

JG is a Psychology Major...there's a lot going on in that noggin'...to me, Chaney gets some credit, Weinke, some credit, Tee, some credit, but some must go to JG...he's the one that pulls the trigger...

GO BIG ORANGE...BEAT VANDY!

Latrell Bumphus. At the beginning of the season, he was barely projected to be in the 2-deep. Now, he's probably our 2nd best D-lineman (behind Solomon).

Jarrett Guarantano on offense and Nigel Warrior on defense

 

[SaintLouisVol]

Nigel defense. Jennings on offense.

Honorable mentions: Bituli, Bennet, Palmer, Bennet, R. Johnson

I wouldn't say Jennings is greatly improved. He's just getting the football a lot more this year.

 

[Doctrippin]

JG had the ability, he just had to get the mental piece right, but I don't think JG would've have got there without JJ. He pushed to keep him as the starter, and when you've got a WR like JJ telling you just get me the ball, and I'll do it. That's something he's not going to have next year.

 

[DoyleMcOrange]

Definitely Nigel warrior.

On offense, I'd give it to the offensive line.

BRAVEST VOL PERFORMING IN THE FACE OF ADVERSITY award goes Trey Smith.

 

[vols 30]

LoL. JG by a long shot

Warrior

 

[BACKDOC]

LoL. JG by a long shot

Have you forgotten the Auburn game last year.....only 3 int.'s last year too.

 

[boomvol]

Most improved from last year to this year:
Offense - Tim Jordan
Defense - Warrior

Most improved from the beginning of this season to now:
Offense - JG
Defense - A. Taylor

 

[SobeVol]

I can't say he has improved as he was a stud last year but most valuable : Bituli

 

[bpalmer28]

I wouldn't say Jennings is greatly improved. He's just getting the football a lot more this year.

I think his routes are sharper and he’s creating more separation, but yes he’s also getting fed more

 

[jerrync]

My vote goes to the whole team, and coach's. GO VOLS! Beat Vandy!

 

[basspond]

Warrior.

 

[Carp]

JJ by far. He's been an absolute beast all season. Having the best overall season for a UT WR in a long time.

 

[Capt Whiskey]

Warrior from the start of the season to now is a different ball player.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Nigel defense. Jennings on offense.

Honorable mentions: Bituli, Bennet, Palmer, Bennet, R. Johnson

JG should be in there too but I agree with your O and D picks.

 

[82_VOL_83]

I wouldn't say Jennings is greatly improved. He's just getting the football a lot more this year.

Meh, the QB is actually getting the ball out and to him now which is a vast improvement from what it was even at the first of the season.
