re: Drew Richmond momentum shift

Can any Vol fans tell me if Richmond has a shot at starting at a tackle position as a freshman or is that incredibly unlikely even with the line trouble that you have had?

He would have a strong chance of starting. We lost our one-legged walkon tackle (dude was a boss) to graduation and no one else has nailed the tackle spots down.

Ideally Drew would take one tackle spot, Blair would step up and take the other and the rest of the line would finally be able to play their natural positions. As good as Jashon Robertson did at RG last year as a true freshmen (and he was flipped from defense to offense in the middle of fall camp) I see no reason Drew couldn't do the same since he'd be playing his natural position.
