Vols Spring Football Practice #3

[RAVOL]

I think it will be the year after next, he won’t be eligible this year.

That's correct

 

[Deathandtaxes]

I am not big on production numbers in the spring, it’s mostly for technique improvements and seeing how cerebral the guys are and to build their body.

However, I will say that this team just seems meaner and more violent this year and is being built for it compared to last year. The Strength coach is going to pay off a lot and the mentality on defense. Excited about that!

That’s a tough look.
I don’t understand anyone going there not being in the secondary.

 

[GBO2011]

Never saw that sort of physicality last year from either the O-Line or D-Line when you look at that rep from Sanders. This isn’t me speculating or getting suspicious or anything but why didn’t they have practice yesterday?

17.13.7.5 Spring Practice. [FBS/FCS] Fifteen postseason practice sessions [including intrasquad scrimmages and the spring game permitted in Bylaw 17.13.6.2-(a)] are permissible. An institution is not required to count as one of its 15 designated days any day during which countable athletically related activities are limited solely to required conditioning activities, review of game film and/or walk-throughs (see Bylaw 17.02.22). Practice sessions must meet the following conditions: (Revised: 1/10/90, 1/10/91, 1/10/92, 1/11/94, 1/13/98, 6/21/01, 1/9/06 effective 8/1/06, 12/15/06, 4/26/17, 1/19/22, 2/9/22, 10/4/23)

(a) All practice sessions are conducted within a period of 34 consecutive calendar days, omitting vacation and examination days officially announced on the institution's calendar and days during which the institution is closed due to inclement weather.

(b) Any such practice sessions held during vacation days may not be of longer duration than those normally held when academic classes are in session.

(c) Only 12 of the practice sessions may involve contact, and such contact shall not occur prior to the third practice session.

(d) During noncontact practice sessions, protective equipment is restricted to helmets and spider pads.

(e) Of the 12 permissible contact sessions, eight sessions may involve tackling, and not more than three of the eight tackling sessions may be devoted primarily (greater than 50 percent of practice time) to 11-on-11 scrimmages.

(f) An institution shall not conduct full contact (tackling to the ground) practices on consecutive calendar days.

(g) An institution shall not conduct more than a total of 75 minutes of full contact (tackling to the ground) within any one on-field practice session other than the three tackling sessions devoted primarily to 11-on-11 scrimmages.

(h) Tackling shall be prohibited in four of the 12 contact sessions. An institution has the discretion to determine the practice activities (other than tackling) that may occur during the four contact nontackling sessions as well as the protective equipment to be worn by the student-athletes.

(i) If an institution conducts a "spring game" per Bylaw 17.13.6.2-(a), the game shall be counted as one of the three sessions that may be devoted primarily to 11-on-11 scrimmages.

(j) The amount of time that a student-athlete may be involved in such postseason countable athletically related activities shall be limited to a maximum of four hours per day and 20 hours per week.

Glad to see some violence. We've not been violent in a long time. I look back on our teams from the 90's and think about the guys on defense. They were absolutely terrifying. Those guys didn't rely on finesse. Someone was getting decapitated. Teams were scared. Bring it back.

Nastiness will win you a game you shouldn’t.

Really excited about our new DC and Strength Coach.

Was embarrassing how we looked shirts off in Ohio

After looking at the offensive line above I went and looked at the roster: https://utsports.com/sports/football/roster I can not recall seeing this many guys this size in orange. It may not really matter who we have at QB. With these monsters paving the way we should be able to run over most teams.

And only two seniors. The OL future looks good.

For our edge sake, I’m relieved it was a PWO that sanders was man handling.

I was about to say i'm not too excited here

 

[Jackcrevol]

A good OL only helps out a new starting QB.

we couldn't get a push versus etsu last year to run ball. hope that changes

 

[GBO2011]

I personally don’t care about how many seniors we have, I care more about how many players do we have that would be eligible for the draft after this season (seniors obviously fall in that category but you know what I mean)

I would like to think ... it will!

Watching Jeremiah Crawford puke and turn and nod his head towards the Bama Defense was one of the most bad ass things I've seen as a Vol fan.Those dudes win games when sh*t starts to get deep..
