re: "3rd and Chavis"

I had a UT friend of mine tell me exactly that. As a case in point, he said that Fulmer never liked the guy who's starting at MLB this year. Last year, Fulmer said he, "plays too hard in practice" and would not allow him to start. Anyway, Monte appears to love the guy, his hard work and attitude and so this year he's starting.
I don't know, it sounds a little far fetched to me but this is what the guy told me. FWIW, he believes it.
This is the story your friend is refering to.

As a member of the scout team, Reveiz remembers getting yelled at by the coaches — Phillip Fulmer included — for going too hard in practice.
“People were telling me to slow down. And I was holding it back,” Reveiz said.

I think the biggest problem with playing the soft zone was the distance the DB's were from the receivers.
UT fans have been saying this for years, yet he still didn't change.

If his defenses are so soft then how was "3rd and Chavis's" defense last year 3rd in the country in total defense, even when UT HAD no offense and the D was on the field ALL of the time!
Because they played some of the worst offenses in the nation last year. Juggernauts like Northern Illinois, Wyoming, Auburn, and UCLA.
Plus, whenever we did play anyone of merit, we would turn it over on our side of the field.
Excellent starting field position for your opponents + a schedule full of equally inept offenses as Tennessee = 3rd ranked defense

Pretty impressive for UT to be top 10 in scoring D despite the poor field position
Dude, his scoring defense was helped because we played such offensive juggernauts as Auburn, Wyoming, Northern Illinois, and UCLA.

Exhibit A: Air Force vs Tennessee (2006)… LINK
(Notice Air Force’s 3rd down conversions and total yards)
Exhibit B: LSU vs Tennessee (2006)… LINK
(Notice LSU’s 3rd down conversions and total yards. Also notice the number of 3rd and 8's or longer that were converted in this game.)
Exhibit C: SEC Ranking in 3rd Down Conversions 2008 (Tennessee)
LINK
Exhibit D: Tennessee vs UCLA (2008) (Note: UCLA was down to their 3rd string QB, lost 2 starting O-linemen, lost starting RB and Craft threw 4 picks in the first half)... LINK
Exhibit E: UCLA vs BYU (2008, the week after playing Tennessee)
LINK
Exhibit D and Exhibit E should seal the deal.
Guilty or not guilty? What is your verdict?
