Observations From The Scrimmage.

[hatvol96]

1. The difference in intensity from recent years is shocking. It's like Public Enemy following Yanni.
2. The passing game is still a wreck.
3. I'm not enamored with Richardson taking direct snaps.
4. This freshman class is exceptional. The young defensive players are going to be fantastic.
5. Brandon Warren looks like a completely different player. The coaching change has salvaged his career.
6. The frosh skill position players need to hold on to the ball better.
7. The run blocking is noticably better. The pass protection, not much better than last year.
8. I was very impressed with what I saw from both kickers.
9. The contact driils are paying off. This team hits with some authority.
10. I still think this is an 8-4/7-5 team.

Thanks for the first hand views hat.

Excellent Hat, truth is always better than "we need to watch the film",HA!

 

[VOL_FAN_in KY]

thx hat!

 

[hatvol96]

I did leave shortly after 5, so I may have missed something. However, I saw enough to feel confident in my comments.

 

[justingroves]

The intensity in the spring was light years different.

 

[SCSmokey]

Can someone expand on the passing game? Sounds like 0 INTs but some drops? Did QBs manage game adequately?

 

[Ulysees E. McGill]

Gracias Amigo. Did the OL problems appear to be physical or mental to you?

They aren't athletically gifted enough to be really good pass protectors.

You didn't miss anything after you left. They put Lamaison in at QB and Lendale White's little brother in at RB.

Uh oh. It doesn't matter who the Q.B. is if he spends all day on his back. Thx for reply.

I thought I heard the horn go off as I was walking away. Didn't figure anything of substance happened after I left the scene.

 

[bburger991]

They ran about 5 more plays after you walked away I think. We left a couple minutes later too, and the horn went off when we were about out.

We wont know about this team for quite some time. The staff clearly knows how to build and coach a team. We will reign over the blasted gators soon. Alabama has not survived well while we were on top(94-99). All Vol fans should rest assured that we will be back with a vengeance for all who have ridiculed us for going 100 games over while only USC, UF, OU, Ohio State and Texas are the only teams who would not want our sucess. I know that one national title ain't much, but Fulmer was only halfway thru coaching in my opinion. So to all impatient volfans around the world, lighten up!!!!

 

[hatvol96]

I'm really hoping there's no limit to the number of posters I can put on ignore.

 

[Daddy Gee]

did you say Filmer was only coaching halfway for the last 100 games? I agree..

Maybe you should slow down on the alcohol intake and quit your pimpin. :haha_oh:

 

[General Jack]

Good stuff, thanks hat.

 

[OrangeU]

how "open" was it, hat? could anybody get in or did one have to be "on the list?"

All you do is walk in. There is no "list" or special credentials. It's all open.

Also, I have some pictures here.

I noticed #1 at the spring scrimmage as well. When I left there I felt 10 years younger and wanted to run into someone.

Better or worse?

Actually, there was a list. I got a nice nametag with a Power T on it.

 

[bburger991]

There was a list, but they weren't stopping anyone if they just walked right on by. Thats how me and my dad got in.
