Title: Was reviewing the roster, and Post by: SmokeyJoe on August 08, 2013, 05:20:09 EDT noted Justin King is listed at LB. Do we not have a FB on the roster? lol OTOH King is a good athlete, and should help at LB.

The fullback position, from what I can tell, essentially does not exist in the Butchjakian offense.

Knoxville Fish Wrapper reporting the following: Vereen suffered a sprained medial collateral ligament, a ligament in the knee for which recovery time can vary greatly. But UT was confident after surgery that the injury won’t end his season and recovery time could be as quick as six weeks, depending on rehabilitation http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2013/aug/09/ut-freshman-corey-vereen-undergoes-knee-surgery-ex/ (http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2013/aug/09/ut-freshman-corey-vereen-undergoes-knee-surgery-ex/) Title: Re: Was reviewing the roster, and Post by: BanditVol on August 11, 2013, 11:03:33 EDT Knoxville Fish Wrapper reporting the following: could be as quick as six weeks, depending on rehabilitation http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2013/aug/09/ut-freshman-corey-vereen-undergoes-knee-surgery-ex/ (http://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2013/aug/09/ut-freshman-corey-vereen-undergoes-knee-surgery-ex/) Meaning that's a min...yeah he could be back in time for a late September game, but I'd rather he not rush it, particulary since this is Year One of the Butch Jones era and expectations are low anyway. Plenty of time to break him in later in the year. |
