Butch.....what he's actually saying....

.@UTCoachJones: Dobbs, JRM and Sutton are great representatives for SEC, college FB. They're some of the finest young men in the country.

.@UTCoachJones: This is probably the most experienced we've been in terms of playing experience, but we still have only 11 seniors. #SECMD16

Jones: @UTCoachBobShoop and @UTCoachLScott have done a great job of building relationships as new members of our staff.

.@UTCoachJones: Joshua Dobbs' game is continuing to progress. Having him leading our offense is very comforting as a head coach.

.@UTCoachJones: You want high expectations. It's a compliment for how far we've come. But it's what you do with it. #Vols

.@UTCoachJones: One of the keys for us is having a healthy WR corps. We're going to have to rely on some true freshmen there. #Vols

.@UTCoachJones: #Vols RB Alvin Kamara earned respect of his peers immediately by his work ethic. He learned so much from his previous stops.

.@UTCoachJones: We're very confident things will run smoothly for the Battle at Bristol. Our people are at the track almost every week.


.@UTCoachJones: Great players step up and take over close games. Sometimes you have an opportunity to win, and you have to take advantage.

.@UTCoachJones: Everyone points to, what one game changed your season last year? I feel it was the Arkansas game. #Vols

.@UTCoachJones: I don't believe in just taking social media away from players. Everything is a teaching tool, so we monitor that.

.@UTCoachJones: DT Shy Tuttle will be about 50, 75 percent in training camp. We'll see how that goes. He'll start running next week. #Vols

.@UTCoachJones: Shy Tuttle is going to be a welcome addition at DT. We still have limited depth there. #Vols.

.@UTCoachJones: We don't look at the Title IX lawsuit as in the past or behind us. It's part of society. It's our job to educate players.

Patrick Brown

Butch says Larry Scott will be the team's special teams coordinator, Robert Gillespie is asst HC for offense & Tommy Thigpen is run game DC.

Butch on the lawsuit settlement: I don't view it as a relief. We'll always point to it as a learning opportunity.

Butch says Shy Tuttle will resume running next week. Targeting the middle of preseason camp for getting him back available.

Josh Dobbs: "The message (today) is Tennessee is back."

----------

The theme this year is "own it"

Reeves-Maybin:"Some guys talk. Some guys just play. I just play."

Boomage from Dobbs.

Josh Dobbs said:
On being mentioned as a Heisman contender

“It is cool to be mentioned along side the Heisman. It is a very prestigious award and a lot of amazing college football players have won that award, but personally the only thing I can worry about is being the best quarterback for Tennessee. The awards and accolades will come if you go out and compete and try to be the best quarterback you can be for Tennessee so I hold myself to a high standard and I hold my teammates to a high standard and I try to raise the level of play amongst everyone around me so that when we step on the field we are playing at a high level. If we play like that then everything we could ever imagine will be at our fingertips."

Also don't forget McElroy said the Kahlil was a "disappointment"

Greg McElroy is afraid. He knows we're coming for his beloved Alabama so he's trying to downplay us this year after pumping us up last year.

He did the same in the leadup to the national title game with Clemson. He kept saying how Alabama would wipe the floor with Clemson. And we all saw what happened.

Jalen Reeves Maybin is everything you could ask for in a player to represent your team.

The dude behind him with the camera creeped me out though.

I like how Reeves-Maybin handled the Florida questions. I don't wanna just defeat Florida, I wanna wipe the floor with em.

What reporter was asking him all those FL game questions? That sounded like John Adams crap. JRM was too polite to him, more so than I woulda been.

Wasn't expecting to hear a Pokeman Go reference today.

Alex Scarborough, ESPN
Tennessee QB Josh Dobbs said that he's up to roughly 10 characters on Pokemon Go, but isn't sure he'll add to his total at SEC media days: "If I have time I'll get on the phone."
