He’s my neighbor

He’s my neighbor

We don't just need insiders, we need influencers...

 

[UTVols18]

He’s in the gym all day everyday I’ve only seen him once

 

[VFL1993]

He’s my neighbor

Random question... is there a McDonald’s near you?

 

[UTVols18]

I’m picking up what you’re putting down...yes there is

Mentioned in the VQ pod as someone the Vols were pursuing

[SmyrnaATLVolisback]

Biggest want along with the Colorado safety. I think we get both and that’s a hell of a starting lineup.

Harris
Redmond
Gibson
Farooq
Co safety

Co safety

Need more speed over farooq or have him play disciplined
JMO
Overall it should be an upgrade

Hopefully new DC instills major toughness
Would like some dbs that put guys down and out of games regardless of the rules
Make other teams wrs nervous

I think safety play improves immensely from just not having banks scheme and coaching…

Once the Penn state coach comes and Knowles installs his scheme, they will look much better. Our team desperately needs better fundamentals which will be brought by Knowles.

Do whatever it takes!

Do whatever it takes!

I don’t think this is a “do whatever it takes” guy unless you’re just looking at his HS ranking.

Harris totaled 33 tackles this season but allowed 23 completions on 25 targets for 286 yards and two touchdowns, per PFF. Harris earned poor coverage grades down the stretch, include a season-low 43.0 against Rutgers to close out the season.

 

[Garren04]

This guy isn’t that good but I guess he fits the scheme

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

This guy isn’t that good but I guess he fits the scheme

He isn’t that good based on what?

 

[MarcoVol]

He isn’t that good based on what?

Prob based on allowing 23 completions on 25 targets last year

over a 12 game season that’s not a lot of targets.

That stat is wonky.

He was also All Big Ten HM. So theres that….

 

[RiseToTheTop]

Have you seen our DBs? they usually dont even make in the tv frame on a catch.

That was the year before.

By all accounts from what I’ve read, he had an ass year. Supposedly even got benched vs NW.

Doesn’t mean he won’t / can’t be good. But that’s prob not a guy you do “whatever it takes” to land is all.

Hope he balls out here.

That All-Big Ten HM was this season.

 

[jvols1999]

Like him a lot. Would be a great addition to the top end of the CB room along with 8 and Gibson.

That’s right I read it wrong

Scheme related. Our CBs were good when asked to play man coverage.

 

[tennesseefan31]

I thought Redmond was excellent against Syracuse in week one in man coverage.

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Have you seen our DBs? they usually dont even make in the tv frame on a catch.

Except one was freshman All SEC and the other will be a top 2 round pick. Not to mention they would have been 3/4 on the depth chart aside from injuries.
