PFF: Vols DB duo didn't allow a single TD last season

VERY interesting article. I wonder how come our secondary isn't ranked MUCH higher in the preseason pubs? It should EASILY be top 5 with who we have returning. Warrior was a loss, sure... but we have a BUNCH of talent at safety.

Sorry...but the memory of that 3rd and LONG pass over the head by BYU keeps playing in my head.

Wasn't the fumble vs Bama returned for a TD?

I thought that was Alonte Taylor?

I'm with you. I was pretty pissed all year at him. I also held a grudge against Paxton Brooks after he fumbled that punt snap against KY, then got it blocked bc he decided to play the deer in the headlights game.

Shamburger played nickle so he had safety help much of the time. However, he did play well last season in coverage as well as blitzing, tackling, etc..

B. Thompson's 0 TDs is much more impressive IMO. He runs with WRs and stays with them while making a play on the ball as well as anyone...

He's not a very good punter. I hope he's improved a tremendous amount.

Then you memory sux because neither Thompson or Bituli played in that game. If one or both play the game isn’t close.

It was.

Didn't realize Shamburger was that good last year. I think he played star mostly and Pruitt can coach the hell out of that position so I guess it shouldn't be surprising. Definitely bodes well for our defense this year, it's such an important position.

Let's take the next step this season: "No Fly Zone!"

 

[37620VOL]

Remember when every other pass attempt was a busted coverage. Now we have 4 proven draftable DBs.

 

[FLVOL_79]

Havent allowed one this year either.

In terms of value rating, PFF rates corner as the 2nd most valuable position on the field (only behind qb). They also believe coverage is more important than pass rush and coverage generates more sacks. That’s a good sign for our defense.

My man 💪

and more DB talent coming. We're about to be DB U.

We've been spoiled over the years with our punters.

Sad it's the only position group we can say that about.

You think Alabama fans say the same thing about LB/OL/RB/WR/DB/DL/TE/QB?

After watching the you tube interview by VLAD.tv on ex-mob boss Michael Franzese and how much they influenced college and pro sports through the use of gambling auctions + debts. I thought @ that play. Also the one by the NO safety vs Vikings in the playoff that cost the game. Both inexplicable to me, especially the NFL one

How do you like that for stinking thinking on my part. But, dang, that play hurt.
