There is another big fish (running back) in the pond!

[BLUTickbusdriver]

There's a player in the NCAA transfer portal the Vols need to immediately pursue

It's too late for this. Play with what you have and move on

It wouldn’t hurt to get another body on the roster. Super thin at the RB position.

 

[stevenrich2003]

Let Hendon run the ball. O yea, I forgot.

 

[VolinMichigan]

Yea he wouldn’t need to contribute immediately. Might be worth it to take a flier on this guy.

 

[RockVol56]

Like I said in the Slow day thread..... Fant or Milton as Wildcat QB for short yardage. Keeps some hits off Small and Wright.
Outside runs, use more jet sweeps with Calloway/Holiday/Squirrel

Manufacture carries and yards where you need to

Get up big on the OOC opponents, and let the freshmen RB's do most of the lifting in those games once we are up (play almost all the 2nd half).

Guarantee there’s a backup or two already on this team at other positions can be a stop gap if needed. At worst, give Jeremy Banks a few snaps ala Myles Jack at UCLA.

As many snaps as we take in a game, our offense WILL get dinged up throughout this season. It would be best to have “a few more arrows in the quiver!” GBO!

Milton should be the obvious answer, but he has shown nothing that makes me think he wants any sort of contact. He should be a guaranteed 6 every time we’re inside the 3.

Aaron Beasley

 

[IndianaVol]

Entered the portal after July 1st - really doubt this guy plays this year.
Could we use another RB? Most definitely.

RB and LB are going to be downfall this year, especially late once guys start getting banged up.

I'd be all for it if he didn't have a fumbling problem.

Agree - the last play of the Ole Miss game has shaded my view of Milton until he shows me otherwise.

At this point that body will not help us. In my opinion when the season starts they will not have time to spend with one player to get him up to speed

I don't think he would be able to play this Fall since he is not enrolled in school. I may be wrong, but I think he has to be take three classes to be eligible to play. I am not sure what the cut off date is for adding new courses. In either case, it would be a long shot to see him on the field even if he wanted to come to Tennessee. In addition, I believe that our two Freshmen RBs are very good and they would be able to fill up ifor when needed. We have some real talent at RB this year..

Think about this for a second. We run a hurry up offense right. So we don't sub for short yardage situations. The running back in the game at that time will run the ball. The team will not substitute on 3rd and one to put in another back because it will slow down the pace. Has anyone thought of this?

 

[JRich]

Walk on RB's...

 

[Adam Sandler]

Same case as Dixon imo. Take him and if he doesn’t pan out who cares. We need another rb on the depth chart. Guy seems like a no-brainer, waiver situation and all.

 

[VOLtaism]

We need a big short yardage back to get more milage from these scat-backs. Convert a linebacker for short yardage plays or a lineman like the FRIDGE. Just get the job done.

We are not super thin at RB position. Of course we would love to have a 5th or 6th running back, but we have 4 that are very capable! Next year we will add a few more. And the kicker is this guy needs a waiver by the NCAA to be eligible, do you really think that would happen overnight. Maybe by October. We still have Bru in limbo. Tired of having to wait on the ncaa for anything. GBO

Don’t sleep on Justin Thomas! GBO

He should be guaranteed at minimum 5+ anytime he wants to run but contact is not his choice.

He got me to click on another article of his ****

What would it hurt?

What? He's great with the ball and is expected to run even more this season. WTF are you talking about?
