Re: DC Watch: John Chavis The UT offense sure didn't help out the defense by throwing two interceptions and the Vols also had 11 penalties for 80+ yards helping out that 3.8 ypc rushing average by the Tiders quite a bit. Stats tell a lot when you look at all of them...
Re: DC Watch: John Chavis The stats also dont tell us that Bama had five key players suspended right before the game including key linemen because of the text book scandal, which eventually helped them fall apart for the rest of the season. JPW had 370 yards passing. John...Parker...Wilson. DJ Hall ran underneath that defense all day long and they did not make one adjustment.
Re: DC Watch: John Chavis Dude also had 300+ passing against LSU under Pellini in 2006. I'm just sayin'...
Re: DC Watch: John Chavis I'm posting this again... Tennessee was ranked #70 in total defense in '07 (#69 rush defense, #73 pass defense) and #50 in total defense in '06 (#72 rush defense, #27 pass defense). There's a good chance we get one of these years again, and I think some people are concerned. Don't get me wrong. I hope we get the stats of '08 and '05, but '07 and '06 are fresh in peoples' memory, which isn't encouraging.
Re: DC Watch: John Chavis One question: Is anything official or is this still internet rumour? Any decent sources?
Re: DC Watch: John Chavis 100% agree. For example, how many goal line stands did you see? I can't remember any significant stops when it counted. Red zone D was terrible.
Re: DC Watch: John Chavis I'm with ya, Cajun. The last time a Vols defense really impressed me was in the late 90s. And Chavis has always been Gatorbait! I don't like it. :nope:
