I've been out of the loop for a minute with spring practice, but from that last article it's sounding pretty good. Also, I was looking back and someone quoted hubbs saying he'd be surprised if pig was apart of the team this fall!?! What happened?

are you sure about that?

i was under the impression that in most 4-3 schemes your Will is the one that would typically be blitzing more - the Sam or SOLB would be covering the TE and so that would leave the WOLB with more freedom to blitz

The Will (sometimes Mike though) is typically your best LB, that being said you play to his strengths. I guess it's really scheme and personnel dependent so I guess you're right I shouldn't have generalized.

For us personally, with JRM penciled in at Will and Curt at Sam, I definitely think JRM's strength is coverage/flying to the ball. I doubt you'll see him blitzing a whole lot especially with Maggitt and Johnson being much bigger to take on potential blockers.

All JMO of course, if I was an expert id be making tons of money somewhere lol

I see where your head is at here. Maggitt at DE opens up so much for this defense

Probably in a perfect world. But right now having them both on the field puts our best 11 out there

not the way i see it. most of the time we will likely be in the nickel.

Moseley - Coleman --------Johnson - JRM ------------------- Sutton

It's actually April 5 and not this coming saturday. I read it in an email that the athletic department sends to students. Just meet at gate 4 and they will let you in. Since it is next week, it looks like it will probably be a scrimmage type practice. Starts at 9:30.

I don't think anybody knows but Hooker at TSR hinted at this when the news first broke prior to the beginning of spring ball.

Howard has been absent for a large portion of winter workouts. The Vols begin spring practice on Friday. UT’s coaches and administrators have repeatedly reached out to help Howard to no avail, according to the source.

Alton Pig Howard out for the Spring - Tennessee Sports Radio - Tennessee Sports Radio


Swain followed up with this:

Alton Pig Howard is going through some personal issues and it’s uncertain if he will ever play another down at the University of Tennessee. The situation is ultimately Pig’s responsibility. Not the coaches. Which is why we should hope for the best for Alton Howard as the person first and then Pig Howard the Tennessee wide receiver second. We should respect his privacy during the process.

I haven't read or heard anything new since then and while the quote from Hubbs is more recent it is imo consistent with the story line that has been out since the beginning. Nothing has changed, yet.

I didn't know our base defense would be nickel. If so hopefully that will help our secondary woes. I think TK2 will be a star but I don't think he'll be starting our first game. Hope I'm wrong and he shows out though

I dont think its our base, but with the way offenses have been lately, nickel will probably be the most common defense
