I totally disagree with Ziti about Sutton, however, I agree with him that we as Vol fans tend to overrate players because they're our own. I think Thomas is one of those cases.

I know injuries were an issue this past year and I hate to say things like this because he's VFL and I sure couldn't do it myself, but a University of Tennessee o-lineman ought never to play as soft as he does at times.

Thomas' strength is getting to the edge (pulling) as a center. Much of our success in 2015 at end of season running the ball was due to him.

Last year he was injured from the start and was never 100%. The idea that he is soft is really the result of injuries to both ankles. He tried to play with one injured ankle in early 2016, but was not effective and had to sit. A player who gutted out the last half of last year is not soft.

I hope that's how it is and he stays healthy and shows out this year. I really am pulling for him.

IMO, a healthy Thomas would have meant an additional win and a healthy Hall with Thomas would have been two more wins. Both played at end of season but were not close to full strength.

Hopefully this year our depth will be much better and injured players will not have to play hurt.

S. Carolina loss maybe. I'd put the others on the D, especially the Vandy game.

If Kendrick is good enough to hold onto a starting spot on the line I think he could be a late round guy

May not be a more whiny person in the fan base than this Houston Cress dude. Give it a f'n rest. I mean I get it things haven't been great the last several years but this team could win a title and he would still be doing the same thing. Day in day out this dude just shyts on everybody at UT. Gets so old.

Typical douche. Got recognition by having a Twitter that just took info from every site and people actually thought he had connections

Anybody know what this is about? From Joe Youngs Twitter. Somebody remind me how things ended with him because I'm drawing a blank. I do remember him looking good though when he got the ball. Any shot he's back? We could probably use him right about now.

Must not have been bad because his entire feed is about the Vols and the draft. Also, found a great tweet by Drew Richmond on there. Lawrence Cager WR from Miami tweeted out "They took Dobbs over Brad?" and Drew Richmond replied to Cager simply and directly, "Stand Down."
