Senior-to-be defensive end Steven Fowlkes pursues quarterback Tyler Bray during Tennessee's Orange and White Game.

Tennessee defensive coordinator Sal Sunseri thinks fifth-year-senior-to-be Steven Fowlkes is more — possibly much more — than a standard spring surprise.

This kid seems to be humble. I would think that he would be considering what all he has been through to get here. It is so funny because I remember when he was moved to the DLine, and all the laughter that went with his move. I would love it if Steve was able to stop all the jokes come this fall. Love seeing success stories like this.

I'm glad to see SF emerge this spring. I'm especially excited about the perceived NFL ability! I think this coaching staff is going to be better at puting the players in positions where they can be successful.

Good to see him making progress and it's good that the team can focus on a single position for him. That spells success for both the team and SF!

Great story. Thanks Wes. If he does blow up this fall who could we compare him to as far as his super late emergence?

Just quoteing Fowlkes, I liked coach Thompson as well but I think our D-line played better with Chuck Smith coaching them. I think we made significant up grades to the staff as a whole and it will show on the field this fall. I hope lol

Chuck is very good at teaching rush technique but he was not willing to be a team player.

Agree 100% tnbear, I just think we played to soft on the corners under Willcox. I know we will get burned a few times (nothing new) but we should be able to get some recivers off there routes and give our DL & LBs time to get to the QB.

Agree about us playing soft last year. I said in another thread I spent a lot of time last year screaming at my TV about us playing soft. I really don't think we will get burned any more with the press coverage than we did playing soft. Plus we have Randolph back there and he gives us security we haven't had since JJ left. He's not as good as JJ but better than what we have had.

I would much rather see our corners press and be physical than get caught flat footed like last year and get burned. This year I expect to see opposing receivers have to work harder to get off the line and see Randolph make some big time plays back there at safety. He reminds me of Berry the way he is maturing and coming along. I love seeing a good hard hitting safety.
