As an addendum to my previous post: The O-line was much better than last week though. I think there was like 5ish sacks on the night.

Also, as some guys might not know, the QBs aren’t live so getting touched results in the play being blown dead. Usually these situations would end in a sack in regular ball, but there are some times when the QB would probably be able to scramble for yardage.

I typically don’t make many comments on DB and LB play because I am not as familiar with which numbers correspond to which names.

I write out every single play that happens, so I don’t get to be completely enamoured with what is happening on the field, but I know the statistics pretty well.

Like mock said though, it’s king of hard to pin point sacks Bc of the non contact but i don’t think there’s no denying significant improvement in pass pro. Run game was clogged though.

Could the run game clogging have more to do with defense though. I mean this defense is designed to not let you run up the middle right?

Starting 3 on D-Line are legit. On top of that, Alexis Johnson impressed me last night. I think he gives us a reliable rotation at NT.

Also, the bigger RBs were better— though still not what we want—at running up the gut. Chandler has had some trouble when not given space to work with.

I also think Sapp did really well too in run game.

OL did well in pass protections.
Taylor started at CB
I thought JG missed 3 TDs on verts by over throwing.
McBride had his best day so far.
Sapp looked really good.
Coleman is gonna play a lot at RB.

You're the only that seems to be saying that JG did not have a good day. Can you explain why that is, please?

I said i thought he played pretty well in my previous post. I thought he missed a handful of big play down the field. That’s where i disagreed with someone’s previous post saying “JG can put the ball on a dime anywhere”.

I had only read your first post when I posted. Do you think JG is our starter?

This pic was posted in a recruit thread, and I didn't want to continue the hijack of that thread but did want to tell this dumbass story

donald-trump.jpg


Two years ago in February, my company flew a few of us out to Los Angeles for work. On the flight back, I sat next to this guy. He had a middle seat and was talking to the guy on the aisle seat and was telling him him was flying to Charlotte to do an appearance at a comedy club. I forget how much it was exactly, but that comedy club was paying him what I thought was a ridiculous amount of money just for an appearance. Several thousand dollars IIRC.

But the weird part of the story was, this guy - upon landing - opened up his phone and tried face-timing women after woman after woman. None of them answered. He would dial a number, it would ring, go to voicemail, and he'd hang up and call the next one. It struck me as odd. Like were these supposed to be groupies?

Anyways... I used to always wonder why people gave a **** about having their videos go viral or whatever. This incident answered it. This guy "stars" in a short, "we're laughing at you, not with you" video that goes viral - and he ends up having places fly him across the country and get paid thousands to make an appearance for one or two nights.

Insanity

Basketball recruiting note from Rob Lewis...

Had a chance to catch up with Richmond grad transfer Khwan Fore after his visit wrapped up.

Did not commit to the Vols but left feeling very good about Tennessee and how he would fit in. Loved Rick Barnes and the staff.

Doesn't have a firm timetable but would like to decide pretty quickly. At this point he's not sure he's making any more visits. The fact that he's considering shutting it down is obviously good news for the Vols.

He's originally from Huntsville, Ala. and told me that getting closer to home was something that was really attractive to him. Also, playing in the NCAA Tournament is a huge goal for him and he understandably thinks that Tennessee is a place where he could make that dream come true.

UAB is really pushing hard for him and he'd probably walk into a much bigger role there than in Knoxville, so that's one to watch. Georgia and Tom Crean are also pushing hard to get a visit.

Will have a full write up from the interview later this afternoon but those are the basics, think Tennessee made a really strong impression on him and put themselves in a good spot.

From another poster on VQ who was at the scrimmage...

First of all, we are thin with depth at most positions, that being said:
1) our front 7 looks the part, Shy can be dominant inside.
2) we are being coached hard from warmups to the final whistle, communication has been stressed throughout spring ball, it is constant movement and very little standing around.
3) We hit several deep balls for big plays (Calloway, Palmer, Murphy)but the secondary had their moments as well. The D-line dominated most of the night as expected. Coaches are constantly on the guys to create turnovers.

Some vague player observations:
1) A Taylor is an elite athlete regardless of which side of the ball he is on, exploive and long.
2) Tuttle looks to be in great shape.
3) Theo Jackson has gotten bigger and is a good looking, long athlete.
4) Calloway looks explosive and created seperation.
5) Ty Chandler will have a breakout year of Oline can hold up any...great vision, ran w power and was decisive.

Attention to detail is stressed (loudly) by this staff, and the teaching aspect at all positions is extremely detailed.

Vague observations, but just a little info! GBO!
