FortOn the defensive line, I really think Shy Tuttle will be able to give them quality snaps come Thursday. I don't know how many but he continues to look good. Alexis Johnson was moving good as well and even though he's still out of shape I don't think it's too far removed to think he can give you some snaps come Thursday.
Butch really challenged the receivers to focus in while I was watching them. Really wanted them to concentrate on each rep.
Austin PriceGood news with Kyle Phillips back out on the practice field and NOT in a green jersey. Shy Tuttle continues to look like he is progressing and moving around quite well.
Before practice got kicked off, we saw Marquez Callaway beat Justin Martin and Jarrett Guarantano defeat Zac Jancek in the circle of life. We also saw Alexis Johnson get two runs in the circle in battling Nathan Niehaus and Ryan Johnson (battle of the Johnson's per CBJ over the mic). Very important to see anyone of note on the practice field. It's safe to say that Alexis Johnson is going to help this team and likely sooner rather than later.
HubbsInterestingly, Alexis Johnson was not in a scout team jersey. He's not in shape, but you wonder if he might not be a possibility to play Thursday night. My guess is probably not, but I wouldn't rule it out.
Jones started the practice with the circle of life drill that even had Jarrett Guarantano going against Jack Jancek as the Vols worked in shorts and shoulder pads. Maybe the most impressive win was Marquez Callaway in round 2 beat Justin Martin.
The receivers continue to show improved consistency as there were very few balls on the ground in routes versus air.
Bottom line to me, this team is ready to play.
BriceHowever, the trio of Kyle Phillips, Shy Tuttle and Alexis Johnson each was in a white jersey, typically signifying those players are expected to play on the defensive side of the ball. Latrell Williams was in a standard orange jersey, seemingly full-go at practice.
The head coach called Alexis Johnson out for two consecutive match-ups to start things off, pairing him with Ryan Johnson and then Nathan Niehaus. Johnson appeared to more than hold his own in both match-ups but there wasnt a definitive winner as we sometimes see.
Other match-ups Jones called for were Justin Martin and Marquez Callaway, which Callaway appeared to win decisively, Elliot Berry and Quarte Sapp, Jeff George and Nigel Warrior and Jarrett Guarantano against Zac Jancek with Guarantano shoving Jancek around pretty good to the delight of his teammates.
LewisAlso it looked like D.J. Henderson is starting off on the scout team, a bit of a surprise as it appears the junior college transfer has been passed by several younger teammates.
