Vol linebackers to be better; Remember you heard it here - Knox TN Today

Good news. Tennessee linebackers will be better this season. Remember where and when you heard it, westwords, four days into preseason practice, four weeks before opening kickoff. There are valid reasons for this official proclamation. Returning regulars Arion Carter and Jeremiah Telander are a...

Our entire defense will be better. I firmly believe we have a top tier defense this season. It’s the offense that I worry about.

Yeah our defense could be perhaps best in the SEC . That’s how good it can be…. Surely the god Josh will figure out the offense , plus recruiting keeps on trending up.

Always good to hear from Marvin West. He has seen some good linebackers in his time - his bio says he was sports editor of the UT student paper in 1954!

I'm pretty sure most already thought this. Am I wrong?

(I know it’s a stretch. Just thought it was funny)

Who here thought TN’s defense would eventually be better than the offense under CJH leadership? Not me but I do remember CJH stating the defense would soon be elite. He wasn’t lying.

nice write up.

I know we all the loved the grit of Dontavius Sapp, Nick Reviez, and Herman Lathers, but man only Lathers would be in the Top 4 imo.
Telander is about to be replaced I feel, but he’ll still play a lot. He was slow to diagnose plays sometimes and he honestly might be better suited at EDGE. He can rush the passer with the best of them from the LB position.

Burns. Nobody is talking about this guy but he’s super fast, athletic and has the size out of Atlanta GA.

Carter is ready for a 100 tackle season and All-Conference awards and Spillman will be right there with him.

I could be wrong. But this unit has so much ability and the right personalities for the room.

Not in the least.

I was about to give this a like, except that I am not worrying about our offense.

Here a better, there a better, everywhere a better! Ole Mac Heupel had some recruits! E I E I O!

If McCoy is 100%, I feel really good about where we can be. Wish we had another DT or two but that's always the case

 

[IndianaVol]

As good as our defense was last year, I think it's even better this year.
Our defense will end up winning us more than one or two games.

Only issue I see is last year other teams weren't expecting our defense - this year they'll be keyed in on it and stress our defensive weaknesses like DT.

This defense will be as good as the DB's play and the DB's most likely will be as good as McCoy and Carter can play.

Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic about McCoy being a big factor this season.

Dad joke of the day:

If our secondary is better this year, heads will turn.

Better get the oil out because the LBs will be a lot better this year.

I finally went back to read the article linked at start of this thread. Really liked what it said about Burns and Perlotte, not to mention, Coach Inge.

 

[VolForLife83]

That was like reading a bunch of random thoughts or brainstorming ideas. Marvin is slacking lol

What reasoning do we have to believe the entire defense will be better when we lost our 3 best D linemen and some depth pieces, the best linebacker, the best safety, and our best corner is coming off a torn ACL after the season ended? The odds are not great that the defense improves.
