2011 Tennessee Volunteers

I'm so excited about this season. Its been a while since I was this excited about our chances

Me too.

Bray, Rogers, & Hunter will be deadly this year if Chaney opens up the playbook a little more. Just running jet sweeps to Da'Rick ain't gonna cut it.

Yeah I groaned every time Da'Rick came in motion lol. But I beleive it was said that they weren't even using half the playbook with Bray last season so I think they can be more explosive this year. I just hope we can get a solid running game to go with it

I was thinking our 2 deep depth chart would end up looking like this

QB
Bray, Simms
RB
Poole, Neal (I could see Neal becoming the starter here)
FB
Fugate
WR
Hunter
Milton
WR
Da'Rick Rogers
Williams
WR
Zach Rogers or DeAnthony Arnett or Vincent Dallas (IDK who will start here. It wouldn't surprise me if Zach started here at first than one of the FR took over later in the year)
TE
Rivera, Clear
LT
Thomas, Pair
LG
Schofield or Jackson
C
Stone, Gooch
RG
Fulton, one of the freshmen here. Kerbyson, Posey, or Richardson
RT
James, Bullard (if eligeble), Richardson

LE
Walls, Miller
DT
Jackson, Miller
DT
Couch, Hughes
RE
Smith, Bohannon
SLB
Lathers, Vereen
MLB
Propst, AJ Johnson
WLB
Austin Johnson, King or Mitchell-Thornton or King
CB
Moore, Gordon
CB
Teague, Lanier
FS
Jackson (if he comes back), Waggner
SS
Brewer, Sapp
K
Palardy
P
Darr or Palardy

What do you think of this? Theres a few positions (especially DB) that I'm really not sure about

Rae Sykes has been dismissed, which makes our DT situation even worse.

Talk about bad luck, you guys had a patchwork O-Line last year, things look promising going into this year for that side and now the other side is falling apart...what gives...Did Cutcliff put the voodoo on you guys?

I don't see this as as a big a loss as most. He and Hughes got beat out in spring by O-Line convert Daniel Hood and with Couch coming I think the d-line will be just fine.

Now LBs are a different story. I'm a little worried with the Lathers situation.....
