Vols Practice Thread #8

[Shades]

Practice threads, oh yes, oh yes

The offensive line was working with medicine balls today, blocking against each other. Trey Smith steps up and blocks so hard that he pushes a teammate to the ground. He's looking pretty good, I'd say.

At the risk of having my head sawn off and shoved up my bum, our linemen look Bamaesque. Big muscled and granite-like guys.

DWA is a massive human. Hope he has some speed.

Did they have a "t" pose?

Constant theme seems to be the DL needs a lot of work

There seems to be about 3-4 DL they like but beyond that...

Thanks Fingers. It appears that practices are now starting to go under the cloaking device as the season approaches.... Actually good to see. WV has no idea what we’re going to do.

I like it too.

Trey Smith is the best OL in college football, not a doubt in my mind.

 

[Pepe]

I like it too.

And maybe, unlike recent years past, we'll actually know what we're doing. That's the optimist in me

Trey Smith going against opposing lineman

Watched some video on walk-on Airin Spell...kid will play some ball before it’s all said and done...

 

[USMC-TNVOL]

Exactly, don’t wanna wear the guys out before a scrimmage.

Might have been one of the many reasons for all the injuries under Jones.

Yeah, pretty much every time I start to get a bit optimistic, I remember the lines. D-line and O-line are by far the two biggest concerns.

The good news is that Trey Smith is arguably the best OL in the SEC when healthy and similar deal with Shy Tuttle on the D-line, but depth not very good on either line. And tough to say how our D-line adjusts to the 3-4.

 

[zballvol]

A healthy Tuttle is as important to the dline as as a healthy Smith is to the O-line. I feel both lines go as they go.

 

[MiramarVol]

Does anyone know if Pruitt has scrimmages scheduled, when they are, or if any are open?

Ask K-Town he'll let you know. You guys talk every day, I thought he would've told you by now.

 

[Coach Punk]

I’m fairly certain he’s really some 30-year-old with a faked birth certificate. Nobody that young should be that humongous.

 

[LibertyVolance]

Recruiting motivation for DLine prospects. You not only have an opportunity to play early, but you will be counted on to play early.

 

[Iam4utalways]

I spent way to much time looking for #7.

 

[MyBloodRunnethOrange]

Great to see Smith and Hall getting some work.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

As much as I love the practice information, I'm fine with CJP keeping things private.

It helps to promote the element of surprise in regards to our foes.

50th!
