Game 1 Depth Chart / Game Notes | Tennessee

[Nick44]

If you include Boobie on 2 deep, there are 5-6 freshman that are there already. Not because of depth issues, it’s a sign of the talent improving across the board.

If we can keep our kids and add a few pieces next season has a chance to be special. Not saying this one doesnt but next year could be really good

I Don't know Jack about this Jack position ...what does it stand for? Jack of all trades lol

It’s basically a hybrid DE/OLB that allows the defence to switch between 3-man and 4-man fronts without substituting personnel. Just gives us more flexibility and makes us less predictable.

So Jack of All Trades isn’t far off.

Do you think that a 9-3 record with this year's schedule would be more impressive than an 11-1 record next year? More of a philosophical question, but interesting when weighing W-L record versus SoS and then determining how good a team is (happens every week/year with rankings, playoff seedings, etc.).

This doesn't take into account all the changes our opponents may endure, etc. Just a general, "fun" question.

ACC should prioritize ND at Syracuse game 1 next year.

David Reese is roaming. He’s 25! Not enough people are reacting to that.

 

[wiseman3]

Deslauriers! Wow. Love that

 

[JeremyCuse]

He was hurt early

Yup not major but believe he is still not 100%. Suspect he needs another game or 2.

 

[vegasnick]

For what it's worth- I called Deslauriers as a starter on signing day!

The front seven is deep and much bigger than last year. Seems like we are still short at edge, surprised not to see Nyandoro or Gillian's.

Fran fooled everyone saying Kerr was the starting star- according to the depth chart he's backup CB behind Peal.

No chase simmons or rashad Perry listed

9-3 with this schedule ans roster turnover would be extremely impressive.

 

[JeremyCuse]

No chase simmons or rashad Perry listed

Both are way down the depth chart unfortunately. Simmons has been playing at TE. I suspect he gets moved back to DE eventually.

Surprised Perry is way down the depth chart. Maybe a good sign for our DLine. I thought he would be ahead of Fuentes-Cundiff

Deslauriers is an absolute unit. This team is built for speed (quite literally). That’s not McDonald’s strength. I love this move. In the words of Mickey Goldmill: “We need speed… greasy fast speed.”

Let’s goooo!

If I recall, there was a camp highlight or two showing him in coverage on a receiver downfield. Might not have been super tight coverage, but it is still impressive (especially given the general speed of our receiving corps).

Interesting that woody and brown beat out starters on special team...hoping specials are well special this year.

Or at minimum not especially bad this year.

Let's hope for pretty not bad?

[gocraz4dasu]

How many appearances of OR will show up when the depth chart eventually comes out? Over/under 4.5?

Whoever had the under wins! 4 ORs on the first depth chart

 

[CbusCuse]

Tyshawn Russell making the two deep seems surprising.

I guess that is good? I thought Ross may be listed there as backup slot before Russell. Ross isn’t banged up is he?

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Both are way down the depth chart unfortunately. Simmons has been playing at TE. I suspect he gets moved back to DE eventually.

Got to imagine in Perry's case he'll still play, regardless of depth chart. He showed last year he can make plays.

For sure, he's not as far down as Simmons, should have clarified that.
