Vols Practice Thread #8

[Fingers]

Only one period open today.

Will Ignont, who missed the last two practices, was with the group participating in drills. The junior still had his left ankle heavily tapped and took reps behind Daniel Bituli and freshman Henry To’oto’o.

Also, sophomore defensive back Trevon Flowers was a more active participant today after being limited during the three open periods Friday night.

The Vols sprinted into team drills and started 11-on-11 work, and big ol’ No. 73 was out there at left guard for the very first play. Maybe it was just one play, but that was the first time Trey Smith didn’t go off with a S&C coach during that period thus far in fall camp.

Today it was Riley Locklear with the 1s, while Jerome Carvin worked as the second-team left guard and K’Rojhn Calbert was the second-team right guard.

Ignont was leading the line with the inside linebackers, as we did not see Daniel Bituli at practice on Saturday. The veteran appeared to tweak an ankle during drills on Friday night, and even if it's a minor injury, the Vols have every reason to be cautious with one of their most important defenders.

Rocker appeared to be pleased with a few reps by Kingston Harris and also praised Aubrey Solomon, Matthew Butler, Savion Williams and Greg Emerson for their reps through the drills

Jerome Carvin was first in line at right guard on Friday night, and there was another change there on Saturday with Riley Locklear working between Kennedy at center and Marcus Tatum in five-man work. The left side stayed the same with Wanya Morris at tackle and Trey Smith at guard. Carvin dropped to the second group and went through drills at left guard alongside Jahmir Johnson at left tackle, Ryan Johnson at center, K'Rojhn Calbert at right guard and Darnell Wright at right tackle.

The Vols continue to force-feed reps to their freshman quarterbacks, with J.T. Shrout and Brian Maurer getting more work in routes on air than Jarrett Guarantano, who was a spectator for one round of quick slants.

I know everyone does it so I guess it's the proper way to coach... but, I just don't see how swatting orange noodle arms will teach you to perfect a technique. I guess that is why some people are practice heroes all across the country. Things change when an equally talented guy is lined up across you using a counter-move.

How long have you been coaching and how often do you attend clinics?

I don't coach... I don't attend clinics... I do, however, look at practice videos... I made a benign comment about literally EVERY football player/team that exists today. I even said "I guess it's the proper way to coach." A better response from a learned user would have been something along the lines of: "It's like a boxer practicing against a speed or heavy bag. At some point in their training they will spar against a live opponent." Questioning my credentials when I never claimed any is a waste of space.

Same as wooden dowel arms in a dojo, it helps to build muscle memory for one.

It teaches D-linemen violent hands. Which is what keeps you from being easily blocked.
