I keep taking my Big Orange glasses off and try to be totally realistic but when I see the talent and, finally, the depth we have stacked up on the D side of the ball I'm just in awe.
buTch and his staff have recruited us back into what should be a Big Orange Storm to compete with anyone in the nation.
Coach Shoop is a master at stunts and with our D linemen alone and how versatile they are he can keep King Tut and KMac the truck, well rested by putting King KnongBOOM in at a DT position with Phillips at DE beside him and 1 or both of them will prbobably get through the O line to put serious pressure on the QB or hit the RB really fast.
And that's just 1 side of our D line and not even talking about Barnett and what Shoop might do on that side of our D line at the same time.
In that article we all saw that King Tut was mentioned as dong D line drills and that's a VERY good sign that he's healing up and already working to get back into game shape.
I'm just totally in AWE of what our D should be ale to do this season.
If they can do what most of us expect or better then I can see where Dobbs and our O won't have the pressure on them to score 30 or more points to get the WIN.
I doubt some teams will score 17 or more points on our swarming D.
I'm 62 years old and I can't wait for us to stomp floriDUHH so I can go outside and scream at the top of my lungs...WE'RE BACK!!!
It's been far too many years for us die hard Vols fans to have high expectations like we should all have for this season and beyond but I honestly believe it's all going to be worth all that pain and suffering.
Hot diggity damn!
Earning respect and climbing the rankings WIN by WIN...VFL...GBO!!!
