And no water, it amazes me we didn’t have a ton of heat related deaths especially in west Tennessee

Water is overrated.

Not at all. TRob was tall, lanky and could sling it with absolute ease.

You do realize that Tony Robinson was 6’3 200lbs when he was at UT

I think his point was that TRob was a completely different build than Faizon.

Any updates on how the scrimmage went?

That's because we were outside all day in the summer when we were growing up not sitting in the air conditioning and playing video games. We were already used to it by the time we got to Jr High and HS.

Apparently, the defense looked really good. Offense did not look great. In his press conference Heupel said the defense forced a couple turnovers, and there were a few penalties on the offense. Doesn't sound great

Well, now is the time to make youthful mistakes and work out some kinks. Sounded like some of the O breakdowns were related to pass-pro, and we had some greener rbs in there, as coaches said they were giving Bishop fewer reps as they knew what he could do.

In Robinson's era, the average D1 D Lineman was 6'4 and 270.

Comparisons of talented QBs from ancient eras need to remember that todays D1 D Linemen are much bigger and much quicker and more agile than most linemen from that era.

While Robinson didn't play "against plumbers," he did play 40 years ago and sizes and skill sets have changed significantly in the trenches since then.

Inge noted that for the majority of practices, Rouse has recorded the fastest speed among the linebackers in the room. While Arion Carter nurses an injury, that tops the likes of Edwin Spillman, Jadon Perlotte, Amare Campbell, Jeremiah Telander and other experienced players.

No the hell he’s not. He’s 217.
He’ll be a ripped 223 by August at 6’4”

GMAC is. 199 not Faizon.

Tennessee is off on Friday after Thursday's scrimmage.

A lot to be said about that statement.

In the main video posted, highlights include a Braylon Staley reception, a tipped pass from Edwin Spillman, an interception from Ty Redmond, a scramble from Faizon Brandon and completed passes from Ryan Staub.

I remember it like it was last week...

 

[GBO2011]

Oh no it's happening again. I'm getting excited again. every time i do I get kicked in the noins. I know it's against our own team, but our defense is making me excited

I notice Staub a few times, Faizon a few and only saw GMac with the front view pass, let the rumors begin

Give me Telander's knowledge and field awareness with Rouse's speed and that dude would rule the field.

Meaning give it a year or two and Rouse will be a beast.
