Hard Knox

Great start to Tennessee’s own “Hard Knox” football series. And while we’re on it, how bout my next installment of the UT depth chart, the defensive line. Starters, followed by subs:

DE – Jacques Smith,  DT – Daniel Hood,  DT – Malik Jackson,  DE – Marlon Walls

Receiving significant minutes and in the 2-deep: DE – Willie Bohannon,  DE – Ben Martin,  DT – Mo Couch,  DT – Corey Miller

Day 7 – Derek Dooley, Mychal Rivera, Corey Miller, Ja’Wuan James

Dooley and Janzen Jackson – Day 6

Finally, the prodigal son speaks. Janzen Jackson sets it straight, sort of. At least he’s getting ready to set it, or someone, straight as the Vols hold their first scrimmage today. As far as the defensive backfield goes, here’s my prediction of starters as of today, as well as a list of backups that should see significant playing time. This isn’t proton smashing or any kind of science, so here goes.

FS – Janzen Jackson,  SS – Brent Brewer,  CB – Marsalis Teague,  CB – Prentiss Waggner

Next four in line – Byron Moore, Justin Coleman, Brian Randolph, and somehow Art Evans will find his way back into the rotation – never fails

Things seemed to be going pretty good for the Vols up until Friday when news leaked out that Malik Jackson will be out for 2 weeks with a sprained knee. Guess it could have been worse, but it really puts the pressure on Daniel Hood and newcomer Mo Couch to secure spots at the defensive tackle position.

I’d also be remiss if I didn’t post a link to Dalton Santos’ highlights – Tennessee’s new commitment, a linebacker from Van, Texas and a big time pickup on the recruiting trail at a position of need.

Love these videos UTsports.com is putting out kind of wrapping up each practice session. Dooley, and assistants Terry Joseph, Justin Wilcox and Jim Chaney talk about the first week in this installment.

Day 2 – Dooley, Mychal Rivera, Corey Miller and Da’Rick Rogers

Just for everyone’s information, it’s pronounced “DAY”-Rick, although Dooley could care less. Miller says he could put on a few more pounds and Mychal Rivera’s sister is still on “Glee”. Happy practicing.
