We need a nickname for them, ya' know like "The Steel Curtain", The Three Amigo's", "Butch and Sundance","The Purple People Eaters", etc.

How about; "Team Timex ", the take a lickin' but keep on tickin'.

The coaches obviously aren't throwing enough shit at them in these sissy half speed practices they have. Throw everything at them, every stunt, blitz, spin move etc etc etc. Make it hard, harder, then hardest. Only way they're gonna learn and get any better. My oldest brother was on a State Champion and he said , " We went so hard at each other in practice that the games were easy ". Just a thought.

I don't know if that's necessarily the case. I was reading somewhere on the performance of the offensive line and this source stated just how poor it was performing in practices. We clearly do not have the personnel to match up against the Giants, the Falcons, the Eagles, and the Packers of the world. Until Mike Tice decides to reshuffle the line some more, we might actually have a worse line this season than what we had last year, and that's saying something.

Oh soulman, I'm back. School started this week at UT, and I've been up to my neck in getting stuff set to go for it. So far, so good. UT plays its first game this season against the University of Montana I think next Saturday.

Scheduling a major BCS contender right out of the box are they, LOL. j/k

Glad to see you've returned Dags. I'm sure we'll see just how much that line has improved over the course of a week come Mon day night.

I think that is an excellent point. Iron sharpens iron. If anything just going one-on-one vs. say Peppers or whomever one would think there would be a spike in pass pro performance. But there hasn't appeared to be this or last season? Reason? LACK OF TALENT.
