Tier 1: 0-3
Tier 2: 2-2
Tier 3: 4-1

I figure if we can get continued incremental improvement on both sides of the ball that's probably doable. It may hinge more on our defense than our offense.

 

[ChattaTNVol]

Here's a look at rush/pass/total yards for both offense and defense over the past 10 years. Obviously, especially on defense, the mix is going to be determined largely by what type of teams (running or passing) that are on our schedule that year and to an extent the strengths and weaknesses of our defense. I got to believe our pass defense should improve this year and with the additions to our linebacking corps maybe we can at least hold our ground in the run game.

I figure there are some here like me that like to get a lot of the tidbits that come out of practice that may not be included in Finger's FF threads. Vince Ferrara is one of my go-to people for reports and especially videos. I finally got around to checking his notes on the first 3 days of our spring work this year.

Thank you so much for posting this. Wasn’t aware of this site and I need my constant Vols fix.

Speaking of paranoid. Mebbe this is where your droning on the subject stems from?

Not sure I follow. Just going to drop this and hope you do the same. Peace~

Love how we had the best run D last year in a decade. I find that enouraging. Our pass D took a step back, but that was no surprise. Feel confident Pruitt will keep this thing moving forward and hit new defensive highs for the post-Fulmer era and on.

Le’Veon Bell welcome home!!! 🛩🛩🛩

I certainly agree. We return so much on offense it should run smoother than it has in awhile. DL is worrisome though.

Titans are over here paying Tiddlywinks while everyone else is playing Checkers and Chess.

That's different how?

This is a silly take.

All 3 of my pets have died within a year and a month. Cat just died

Cats are not really pets.

Cats are not really pets.

Objectively false.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Objectively false.

I stand by what I said.
If anyone else disagrees, meet me at the waffle house. We can discuss our differences over a double order of scattered smothered diced capped and chunked.

It’ll be interesting to see if he decides to play any football this year

Not sure what I’m allegedly disagreeing over, but I’m up for a knife fight if we do it scattered smothered covered peppered and chunked.

What a loser

On this day I was born at 7 AM on a Sunday. I've told my Mom this was the first and last time I was ever early. lol.

Happy Bday youngblood.

My understanding:
As fans, we tend to exaggerate issues, NO doubt. But there are issues and bias in college sports, always has been.

When someone makes a series of posts pushing the concept that the judging uses zero bias, the take is questionable. It's basically pushing the idea that those judges are above human nature. It's borderline ridiculous to even suggest.

When someone goes too far with terms like "tinfoil hatters"

A few here seem so determined to appear above fan bias, they tend to appear somewhat blind to obvious situations where bias does happen.

Strange hill to die on but some just want that 'non bias fan' title so badly.

My take anyways.

At the end of this clip I think that's Theo Jackson and Bryce Thompson showing off the new martial arts skills we apparently are developing for our defensive backs.

 

[mrorange211]

Just curious, do you think you would be content paying Barnes 3x the going league salary for one NC over that period of time and Cal’s level of recruiting?

I don’t know... it seems like there really should be a bit more hardware in the case. It’s nice to win a bunch, but year after year, not much to really show for it

I've just always really liked Cal. He stands up for his players and he tells the truth about their performances. He's a great recruiter and coach that shows a lot of respect to good teams. His comments about Barnes the last two years for example. If we didn't have Barnes, I'd want Cal no matter the price. Don't @ me.

I am anxious for the rest of the 19 class to get here. 3 more DL, 3 more OL, To'oto'o, Harrison, Brown, ect. Got some real nice peices incoming.

 

[barrylee]

They sound like us except for this.


Zero clue why they think we've ever thought enough about them for a calendar circling.
Given our other games, I didn't even rate them 'quick memo'.
Circling, pshh!

Probably as one of our games we must win to have a successful season, nothing ersonal w them, just a game we really need to win..

Wrong!
