Question about the 2019 DL

[MemphisVol77]

I am guessing Pruitt has a plan. He could have taken lower rated DLine players but didn’t. That means he’s got it covered.

I so hope you nailed it.

This team could sleepwalk to 9 wins.

You should get a MRI on your brain asap.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Gooden
Emerson
Mincey
Butler
Crosby
Middleton
S. William's
Simmons
Garland
Harris
Solomon *maybe*

Plenty of bodies. Need playmakers.

I thought Crosby was going to the OL?

 

[KBVol]

Need Solomon to get a waiver, and maybe another transfer from Mizzu. At this point, the DL is the glaring weakness going into the 2019 season. If you cant stop the run, or put pressure on the QB, you're toast.

Where’s the question?

Troll du jour

I thought Crosby was going to the OL?

I think I saw that mentioned on Twitter. Not sure if its been announced -- I may have missed it. That's an interesting move at 6'1

We will have one of the best safety tandoms in the conference with Warrior and Flowers

warrior didnt look so good last yr and flowers looked good at times, horrible at other. plus, where's the depth?

Speaking of nasty it's gonna take me awhile to get over this staff not making a run for Charles Moore who signed with Auburn. Cox flipping to Ole Miss may have caught this staff off-guard a bit. The transfer portal has over 15 DLinemen undecided. After Fields getting the waiver to play for Ohio St. I'll find it hard to accept that Solomon can't do the same.

Moore has already announced he is headed to JUCO, I'm still scratching my head why AU signed him in the first place just to blow a scholly. There is a very slim chance he gets eligible. Cox was not a take for UT or AU, look for him to end up at a JUCO as well.

In previewing the OL, Callahan had him listed as OG

Warrior will be playing FAST this year after a couple years under Pruitt. Flowers will be all SEC caliber. Depth will be good

 

[LAVol1]

Maybe we're over-estimating the importance of DT. Clemson has signed only 4 DT, TOTAL, in the last 3 recruiting classes. Bama--5. Vols--9!

who is behind them?

Just stop. Warrior is decent to good vs the run, struggles against the pass. Flowers has excellent ball skills and thus very good potential. That’s a far, far cry from a great safety tandem. Stop with the ridiculous hyperbole already....it’s why no one takes you seriously. Try actually being realistic and fair-minded about where our team for once....we were 5-7 with 6 25+ point blowouts for a reason last year.

He’s a very average S in coverage. He’s slow. He gets out of position. S is a huge concern. Pruitt loves playing S in coverage. We need some dudes to step up because Warrior is a huge liability in coverage currently.

...I’m also glad Butch got canned

Jaylen McCullough my man.

 

[Roustabout]

just checked, YES



YES

DL depth just got even better than mentioned above!

Crosby was moved to 3rd string OL and Bennet will never play a snap here. Both are Butch busts.
Crosby May develop if decides to live in the weight room, but he just isn’t strong. They had a video of him last year squatting what most HS linemen do.

 

[Roustabout]

I so hope you nailed it.

If he gets the transfer eligible then that changes the look of the dline. Only three spots open in this scheme.

 

[Pride85]

is Eric Crosby (6'1", 328lbs) still on the team?

I don’t know if anyone answered, but he is still shown in the roster.
