'20 TN DE/LB Tyler Baron (UT SIGNEE)

[Ace]

this makes absolutely zero sense? wtf

This makes a lot of sense.
He is not a consistent pass rusher and they wanted him to gain weight and move inside.
Plus dad is no longer on staff

 

[mrmax86]

His dad was fired.

What did he do?

 

[TheMookieMonster]

One of our few experienced defensive players leaving. Not good. I know some people here aren't high on him, but it's not like we exactly have a ton of backup options. Not good. Not good.

 

[feathersax]

Meh.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

Man. This is terrible. Those rumors a few weeks ago—**** like that always turns out to be true.

His dad was fired. I imagine it would be hard to play for guys that fired your dad.

 

[VolsFan-TX]

Ok. I didn’t want him to leave, but at least we can take up to seven replacements for those entering the portal. Let’s move on to the next one.

And constantly injured

Bingo

 

[csprig9]

Next man up
World is not ending

 

[JRVOL11]

He had no moves anyway, straight bull rusher. Still hurts depth though .

You guys have to learn that this will be a yearly occurrence. They will add guys too.

 

[JT3]

His dad was fired.

Yea, thought we may still hold on to him. Would have love for him to add weight and move inside. Really good against the run, no so much rushing the passer.

Best of luck to the kid.

 

[Rocky_Top_Vol13]

My memory is shot... what did his dad do at UT?

 

[Volanooga2521]

Damn, this one isn't good. He's not a great player, but solid against the run. For some reason, our defense plays a 290 lb DE most of the time though and only one pass rusher. I hope Banks knows we could actually play 2 pass rushers at the same time. Hopefully Verse, Josephs and Pearce can get after the QB next year.

Not enough, apparently.

If we get Verse

Use to piss me off all by not playing 2 pass rushers. We actually started doing that more on obviously passing downs as the season progressed tho.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

When are we gonna catch’s a freaking break dang

Why Kentucky? NPA.

 

[Gilbert]

I know he flirted with KY for a long time before finally picking us late. Probably has good relationships there. And it’s gotta be tough playing for an organization that fired your dad, whether it was justified or not.

Would love to still have him for depth, but having him on/off the team next year doesn’t affect our win total one way or the other IMO.

Why Kentucky? NPA.

Oh.
