ADDING A DIME

With a defense communicating as well as they ever have according to Jancek, it's move forward for his unit at this point in camp for the first time since he's been here. The past two years in the latter part pre-season camp it has been about scaling back so his unit can handle what's been installed. Thursday, when the Vols return to the practice field, it will be about moving forward which will include the installation of a six defensive back package.

"We still have things that we can add and we have the personnel to do it. That's exciting for us as coaches to know that," Jancek said. "The first two years we couldn't go dime. You were just wasting your time talking about it. So this year to have the ability to go dime and say we can do these things. You can leave your defensive ends alone. Let those guys rush and play some dime with tight coverage in there. I think it will be a positive for us.

"I'm going to put it in when we get back on Thursday. We would only have one group, but I don't care. We have to get it introduced. We have some talented guys back there. It gives us an opportunity to match up with four wide teams versus having your weakside linebacker on a receiver. You don't necessarily feel terrible about that match up, but man you would hate to give up a big play in a crucial situation when you know you can go dime and you know you have other players that you can get in the game that can run with those guys so we are going to start to install it on Thursday."

Are you an insider of any kind? If not, become one.

Do you second guess the coaches? If so, you will fit right in.

Welcome!!!:hi:

It's easy to find a few examples for anything. How many walk on's were not drafted? I would love to see Colton ball out but this whole thing started with a poster saying a coach at Tennessee said that Jumper would be starting at several other SEC schools. My argument was that no coach ever said that. Do I believe Colton Jumper will start at UT? No chance but I do wish him the best and I'm glad he's on the team.

btw, I do believe walk ons can play at this level. Very few will ever start on a quality SEC team but it does happen. I guess I just want some kind of proof that makes me think a walk on can make an impact and so far with Colton there is none. He played in the first game last year and not a single game after that. Even when AJ went out. No mop up duty no special teams no nothing. He didn't even dress for away games. Does that scream starter?

agree on the coaches comment about several schools. I would be surprised at that statement.

I can't explain their strategy with Jumper last year.

I can say that Jancek would not hesitate to start Jumper at Mike if that situation arose. Not sure he beats out Bynum or Kirkland in the end but he currently is sitting at # 2. let's see how the next few weeks go..

Kirkland definitely has impressed JJ the last several days.

You'll be alright if you spot Gruden on campus and report it! You know he's our next coach!

In most cases, a student-athlete who transfers from one NCAA institution to another is permitted to practice and receive athletics aid immediately at the second institution. As a general rule, the transfer student is required to serve an "academic year-in-residence" at the second institution prior to competing.

However, several exceptions to the transfer rule exist that enable a student-athlete to be immediately eligible for competition at the second institution. The most commonly used exception is known as the "one-time transfer exception." As the name suggests, this exception allows a student-athlete to transfer from one NCAA institution to another on one occasion and be immediately eligible for competition. Certain conditions must be met to use this exception, including: (1) the student-athlete must have been in good academic standing and academically eligible for competition at the previous institution; (2) the previous institution must grant the student-athlete written permission to use of the exception; and (3) the student-athlete cannot have transferred previously from a four-year institution

Nice little read.

Examining the Process of Being a College Football Walk-On | Bleacher Report

The world of the college football walk-on is one that remains a mystery to most fans. They either see the guys like Jared Abbrederis and Clay Matthews, who start out as walk-ons and then become full-fledged, big-time contributors, or they envision the Rudy Ruettiger's of the world.

The typical walk-on at a big time program generally lies somewhere in the middle. Most guys don't end up becoming All-Conference or, in the case of Matthews, All-Pro players. However, the bulk of kids that stick on collegiate rosters also are not nobodies from nowhere who cannot play a lick.

Scholarship guys prove themselves on the front end, before they are out of high school. For walk-ons, especially unrecruited walk-ons, that proof of ability and determination has to come on the college side of things, and it isn't easy.

Football nor any other major sport allows for the "one time transfer" exception

might not get much...Butch really limiting practice access



Wes Rucker
‏@wesrucker247 Two periods of #Vols practice will be open to reporters tonight. One of those periods is stretching. Comical.

if whining ever becomes an Olympic sport then Rucker is a fav for the gold :)


Wes Rucker ‏@wesrucker247 · 5h5 hours ago
People don’t like hearing reporters talk about access issues, but then people demand more news. So which is it?

Wes Rucker ‏@wesrucker247 · 5h5 hours ago
At some point, you’d like to think fans will demand more coverage of their team than pictures of stretching and in-house propaganda.

Rucker and press getting exactly what they deserve imo after the injury reporting blunder.
