Get ready for Tyler Bray 2.0. Coming to a stadium near you this fall.

From what I've read, he is easily the most talented, but is the least knowledgeable, regarding our offense, and the most lacking in leadership intangibles.

Whomever wins will not last a whole season behind Tennessee Oline.

VOLS OLine will not be nearly as bad as most of you think. Now the DLine may be another story.

I agree. There's talent on the O-Line. They've just been waiting in the wings behind a group of guys that started 4 years together. There will be growing pains, but it's not like we're trotting out a host of 2 stars. These are guys who had offers from the best of the best.

Yep. Blair/Jackson/Crowder/Kerbyson/C.Thomas and Weisman are definitely solid. I doubt we will see much of a drop off compared to our vastly overrated line from 2013.

I've heard, but can't substantiate, that Worley is just being used to push Ferguson. If he's legitimately a contender, we're screwed.

I've also read that Hurd is the most impressive player on offense, by far. Per all media reports I've seen, the hype is 100% warranted.

I've heard the same thing. They need to keep him around for depth so they can RS Dobbs. God help us all if they're ever forced to put Peterman in.

Hyamms said blair was running 2nd team behind some walkon... sounds like it was designed to send a message more than anything, but DB has somewhat struggled to adjust.

josh dobbs needs a redshirt, and hopefully he gets one.

Yeah Blair showed up in pretty bad shape. It's taken him awhile to adjust to big boy CFB but he's been doing better lately according to practice reports. I think he will be fine in the fall.

I don't think it's Bray level bad. Worley and Dobbs are just exceptional in that regard.

Sounds like this one former UT QB we're all familiar with

from all accounts it stands like this right now

worley starter
fergnasty 2nd

worley has had least mistakes and is safer play
fergnasty is the high risk high reward player. Can make the big plays in the air and on his feet but is more prone to mistakes.. obviously since he has zero game experience

as it stands ive been hearing worley would get the start today, it all will come down to what the coaching staff wants.. safe or potential.. im hopping for the latter

O-tackles will be absolutely horrendous imo.

I don't think so. I think Jackson/Crowder/Kerbyson would be pretty good on the interior (maybe even an upgrade over last year), but Blair and Coleman Thomas are really struggling from everything I've heard.

They have really no other choice at LT (no way they roll Gilliam out there), but I wouldn't be surprised if Kerbyson slides to RT and Wiesman to RG. There is a lot of smoke being blown in regards to Thomas from what I've heard.
