With Mosley? Martin has been terrible and trouble and Foreman can't be trusted to give effort at critical times.

CB play has been bad since game one. Hard to hide these issues. AM and Bama will exploit these

A&M will have a field day with Moseley,Foreman and Martin. If that is the best we got then Tn is in trouble the next 2 weeks

Any chance of them playing both ways.
Maybe try them out just a little on defense while still playing 20 or so snaps on offense?

Besides Foreman's brain fart...we held Eason to 125 yards passing...the DB's were on point today. The middle of the field is where the openings were, which were due to the running game and the LBs having to respect it.

The Vols DB's seem to get outrun on every deep ball and will be picked on often by TA&M, this game won't be pretty for Vol fans, I'm afraid.
Go Vols

They also had 181 net rushing yards on 46 attempts. That'll relatively lower any QB's stats. They chewed us up on the ground.

It will get even worse the next 2 weeks because both have playmakers at WR that FL,GA nor VA Tech come close to having.A'M and Ala have skill players than can take over and games can get out of hand quick against both of them.

That's not as bad as it seemed watching the game. I didn't realize they had so many attempts.

So wait a minute, let me get this straight. If you were getting paid $4 million a year to make the decisions you'd pull Jennings (you know, the guy who has 2 of the biggest catches in UT history) and move him to defense? Not only that but you'd put another round through your foot by moving our true freshman slot receiver with an incredibly high upside? Oh ok, no wonder you don't get paid to make decisions.

I have asked several times and no one seems to have a definitive answer. Where is Osborne? Is he hurt? Progressing slow? Playing special teams? Redshirt candidate?

Also, I thought Byrd was supposed to have a high level of DB skills. Why are we playing him at WR where we target him once a game when we have a huge need at CB?
