2022 Fall Practice #1

[benholt06]

man the press talked to just about the whole roster. These kids couldn’t have been more gracious answering questions. They seem energetic and fired up for the season. Gonna be a fun year

 

[TheVolsFrog]

DBs Kamal Hadden and Andre Turrentine (Ohio St transfer) bickered over who would defend All-SEC WR Cedric Tillman in 1-on-1 drills. They're in position battles and wanted the test of the team's best wide receiver.

This ladies and gentlemen is what you want to see...
Sounds like we got some guys that are hungry

 

[T2P_Priceless]

I dream of being that out of shape.

So does over 95 percent of the population

 

[Samthebam]

Duh, that's a white squirrel, not Squirrel White.

Which is EXACTLY how a white squirrel would be listed on a football roster. This ain’t rocket surgery.

[RDU VOL#14]

Where does he come up w/ Deebo in his comp? That would be awesome if he’s that good, but Deebo is like 215-220.

 

[VolunteerVandiver]

Referring to the fact that he will be able to contribute in many different ways, like Deebo does.

Wasn’t when he showed up in Columbia.

I can't believe this has been posted for almost 30 minutes, and nobody has complained about coach's cough

 

[pharmDvol11]

I keep checking and Cedric Tillman is not pre-season 1st team All SEC. This is gonna be a problem. He should be the most motivated WR in the entire conference.

 

[LordVOLdemort]

It’s good to be back! Man, I’m excited to see this offense go! Year 2 is gonna be exciting!

 

[VFLz15]

My point is there was TALENT…we simply weren’t aware of it (except for Chizzle). Same as Velus. We land those “3-4 other targets”? You betting that Heupel and crew don’t get significantly more out of them? It’s why better coaches get paid.

Those 3-4 other guys probably leave when Pruitt’s gone.

 

[white65]

Anyone have a link to the fall practice schedule? Google let me down.

 

[butchna]

Those 3-4 other guys probably leave when Pruitt’s gone.

Or they don’t.

 

[nomads-11]

You create your LUCK. How fortunate a find was he up until Heupel took over?

Absolutely. So many factors played into all of this.....but it worked out in his and TN favor. Part of it is a mental change that happens when you think you have a fair and honest chance. If you believe, a lot is possible. And he took the opportunity. Good for him.....I hope it lasts for years to come.

 

[UTblood4life]

Bru wearing #15....interesting. hope he's up for it

Now if he has the toughness and grit JJ HAD

 

[DougVol]

It’s all about evaluating and taking the right 3 stars. And I think Tillman was a 2 star.

Or having no choice but to take a heavy load of 3 stars over the last 5 years.

 

[walkenvol]

Noticed that about Eason as well. Him growing into DT could be a really good sign for the future of the Vols. That was a pattern during UT's best years. The result was often guys who were extremely athletic for their new position.

I can’t recall a LB growing into a DT then, please remind us. I remember guys like Henderson and Haynesworth who were top 5 rated DT’s out of hs

 

[Defcon5]

Practice #1 was in full pads...I like it. When I played back in the stone ages we never had "shorts and shells", these young men do not need to be babied let them play old school.

GBO!

Is McCoy lazy? Was expecting be things from him. Glad to hear Keyton moving up.

No he's not...go to 8:10 mark

Jeff Coleman and Shazzon Bradley are the only ones off the top of my head.

He is going to need to keep some Halls in his pocket. I assume a lot of that is due to first day back coaching.

 

[Defcon5]

Shazzon was great.

 

[Defcon5]

Hope so. All I heard was potential. Same with Squirrel. I’m pulling for these guys. Speed is the key for this offense. We have it.
