I'd love to read MV's slant on these players. Thanks for all you guys do.

But Spear technically starts if the Commodores kickoff to open the game.DIMON KENDRICK-HOLMEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810097539680781858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-16361910755998178322010-10-14T09:45:52.022-05:002010-10-14T09:45:52.022-05:00Great job!

Your breakdown certainly speaks volumes about how many younger players are getting field experience. My only comment is that if Kent is considered a starter (as punter), then so should Spear (as KO specialist). Their jobs are similar in that they provide the Defense with good field position.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-41060831482667654512010-10-13T19:35:00.183-05:002010-10-13T19:35:00.183-05:00Thanks.

(I'm sticking with scholarship players here because it's hard to track walk-ons, though R-FR DE Mark Panu plays on special teams and R-JR David Giller is our regular snapper.)DIMON KENDRICK-HOLMEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810097539680781858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-66552462053404997412010-10-13T16:03:09.277-05:002010-10-13T16:03:09.277-05:00Dimon, good post...what this list tells us is that...Dimon, good post...what this list tells us is that Vandy will have experience and depth next season. I think you mentioned in a post several weeks ago that the 2011 season should be really good as our young guys learn the system. I anticipate some changes on the offensive side of the ball in the off season. I hope that Coach Hand will be more involved in the development of the offense and some of our skill guys next season. If Caldwell stays, I hope that Coach Hand will be given total control of the offense to make whatever changes he deems required to improve the offense. There is alot of talent listed in that post.

Special teams are more competitive than ever...True. Special teams are more competitive than ever because Caldwell is playing way more true freshmen than Johnson did. But these guys were recruited to play offense or defense, which is why the only special teams players I list as starters are the punter and kicker. Do you really think Jared Funk will tell his grandchildren he was the starting third-guy-on-the-right-side or whatever he was on the punt coverage team his junior year? It is a big deal, though, for true freshmen like Matthews, Butler, Clark, Hal, Lassing, Garnham, Simmons and Spear to get on the field somehowDIMON KENDRICK-HOLMEShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810097539680781858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7415996603985116861.post-42479822585285736692010-10-13T14:17:24.021-05:002010-10-13T14:17:24.021-05:00Dimon, from your lists I see that special team sta...Dimon, from your lists I see that special team starters are excluded. A number of freshmen and sophomores have started on ST units all year. I realize in many cases off/def starters aren't used on ST units. On the other, players start on ST because they're they won the job -- not by default.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
