Understand having been burned in the past. But once you see these guys - it is different. They may all be show ponies when the season starts. lol.

They are much different physically and emotionally. I get the feeling that Butch is much more into relationship building with everybody. That he truly likes being a Vol and that he has complete faith in his system and coaching staff. Having been around Dools a little and a couple of his assistant coaches some, I can tell you that my experience was that he had none of that going for him. The nucleus of this staff has been together for awhile and all of them knew and had coached with various members along the way. There is no interpretation of the system needed by the staff. They know what they are to do and how to do it. That was never the case with Dools, Kiffin or on the offense in the later Fulmer years. Much of the time it was a Keystone Cops comedy.

What we will not know until the season begins is if Butch's system will work successfully long term in the SEC. The better the talent the better the results will be. He is doing that really well. The intangibles all appear to be there. The roster is motivated, upbeat, excited to play again, and being taught to respect the traditions. You will see some really cool things happen to motivate them and rebuild the Vol nation over the season. Whether that translates into what we all hope to see remains to be seen. But the odds are greatly improving that it will IMO.

Biggest plus for UT going forward IMO..Has been awhile since everybody on the coaching staff is on the same page...

On Patrick Brown's video of practice, Sutton looks really quick. Our CB's have been so sluggish the past few years. Maybe a diamond in the rough.

Sutton was no diamond in the rough. He was a highly recruited player. After the coaching change UT had to fight pretty hard to keep him, most notably with Auburn. He's a baller and will play this fall if he stays healthy.

On Drae Bowles:

"He is working at wide receiver. He has to show more athletic ability and more ability in his cuts/routes than what he has shown so far. He's kind of a straight line guy."

"has to show more athletic ability" Would think whatever he is showing is what is has got. Doubt he is keeping it under wraps.

My translation of what is being said is he is a guy that has no real feel for getting to the ball or getting open. Straight line runner yes/ instincts no it sounds to me
