Both the 3&C insider and Football Time Mag guys have been saying this evening that Tennessee does not have its best 5 out there on the o-line. 3&C guy says Thomas gets abused every day in practice and Kendrick is better and Football Time in TN guy insinuated the same thing.

I am personally not a believer in Thomas at all. Do not think he will ever be a good tackle. Not nearly quick enough. Has been evident since the OU game.

Should we bench him and go with what most seem to say is our best 5 right now or see if Thomas somehow magically gets it together?

I would be fine with Thomas if it was a Ja'Wuan James situation where it looks like he is a future 1st rounder but Thomas is never going to be a good tackle imo.

Hard to argue otherwise.
On one of the many sacks, he didn't been have his hands up to block.

I know they were hoping to red shirt Blair, but is it worth waiting for 2015 now?

Get his arse out of there.

I also found the Mahoney/Pittman dynamic to be disturbing.

Should have recruited lineman every year too. I'm tired of fricking losing. Its heartbreaking every damn week. I think most of us have been saying "next year" for 5 plus years now. I just hope we turn it around soon

Last year we gave up a total of 8 sacks on the entire year - we were the best of any power 5 team. We gave up 6 this GAME.
