PFF — highest rated defensive lines

[Freak]

All the credit to coaches that actually coach. We couldn’t field a DL last season and all of a sudden we’re in the T4 PFF rankings.

Honestly that's remarkable. I wouldn't have guessed they would have stayed up after the UF game.

Georgia not #1…? We are definitely not better than them. I think some of this list is because of who you’ve played so far…

Georgie shouldn’t be number one. They haven’t played anyone yet. When they play a grown-up then we will see.

Looks like Heupel has put together one heck of a defensive staff. Rodney Garner can flat out coach, so happy he is on staff.

Good ranking while it lasts. I fear that the depth monster will rear its ugly head later in the season.

Unfortunate, but true.

I've been impressed by our DL so far. Not a ton of pressure, but they seem to doing considerably better than last year. Does PFF take into the quality of the opponent? If so, and they still have us ranked this high, then that's some pretty high praise.

Clemson's gonna lose 2 more games this season besides the 2 they've already lost.

Clemson is poverty. Their 15 minutes is up.

The line graded well for the Florida game but the linebackers graded very poorly.

We could honestly give Clemson a game this season. What's your point lol

Clemson also almost lost to Georgia tech, and did lose to nc state. Not really saying a whole lot

I am starting to notice a positive trend in the articles I read and the conversations I hear on sports talk shows. Nobody is poor-mouthing us like they have the last decade or so. I think the sports world knows the Vols ARE coming back. It may not happen as fast as I'd like for it to, but Tennessee football is not dead yet.

Amen!

Good call as usual… Their 15 minutes has only lasted about 10 years.

If UT has depth anywhere it is in the front 4.

Blakely
Butler
Simmons
Baron

Tremblay
Bumphus
Terry
Young

Thomas
Bailey
Garland
Solomon
Harrison
Eason

Clemson lost two very good coordinators last year. It is getting harder to find good quality coordinators and keep them. They all want to move into the head coach job and get that "Real" "Golden Parachute" that sets your family up for good.

 

[chrismc1000]

Idk how we are top 4 when in the second half we couldn't stop Florida from scoring at will.

 

[PlanetVolunteer]

That's why we are about to smack Misery
