What time does today's practice start?

Also, is there a way to watch the practice on the internet? I know the media is allowed in, so, does some site have streaming or something like that?

The only place I have seen clips more than 3 mins of practice is WBIR had like 10 mins of the Tennessee Drill one time last year.

Did anyone ever manage to post a personal vid of the open practice? Or was the security too tight?

Security was as soft as Chavis's mustang package. I went, and no one checked our pockets or anything. I didn't bring a camera with me, but I could give you a synopsis of what happened, if you'd like.

Well, they started the practice doing some 3 on 3 drills. This is where they had 2 D-linemen and a safety against 2 O-linemen and a RB. They had mats on the field marking the "out of bounds" territory. The mats were about 5-7 yards apart. If the RB ran out of bounds, was pushed OOB, or got tackled, the play was over. They would do it 3 times with the same group of players in there. The O would try to get 10 yards within the 3 plays (like getting a first down). Then a new group of players would begin. This segment was full-contact...VERY intense. A fight broke out at one point, it was cool. Not sure who it was fighting, but Coach O got right in the middle of it and broke it up. :dance2:

They continued to do this drill for about 30 minutes. Eventually, they made it 4 on 4 (adding an extra lineman on both sides) and then made it 5 on 5 (adding a LB on D and a FB on O). They widened the feel of play slightly when they did this.

After that, they did 11 on 11. One group of 22 players would do a few plays, again, the O trying to get a first down and the D trying to stop them. Then another group of 22 would do a few plays. This was full contact also. Refs were also on the field during this drill. They threw flags occasionally for holding or PI.

Crompton looked pretty bad. He fumbled his first snap, and later threw an INT into triple coverage that was WELL OVER the receiver's head. (Who intercepted the pass? I'll give you two guesses, but you should only need one). He made one good pass that night that I can remember.

Coleman looked okay. Nothing special, just okay. He made a few good passes, a few that were off target.

Hardesty looked GREAT. He was breaking tackles like crazy during the 3 on 3 and 5 on 5 drills.

Luke Stocker made an awesome diving catch on a 3rd down during the 11 on 11 at one point. Probably the best play of the night.

After the 11 on 11, they switched and went 7 on 7...no linemen. The linemen were working on pass rushing and pass blocking on the north end of the field and the other players (WRs, QBs, RBs, LBs, and DBs) were working on some pass plays/coverage. This wasn't exactly full-contact. After the initial hit, the player with the ball (whether it be a WR or a RB) would have to get up and continue to run, and each defender down field would hit him as he ran. Not a hard hit, but a good hit and wrap up, no tackle though. I think the point of this was to practice wrapping up on D, and getting the O-player used to getting hit as he ran.

During this 7 on 7 drill, they would run 2 or 3 plays at one spot on the field, then move the ball 5 yards ahead and start over. The did this starting at about the 30 yard line, then went all the way to the opposite 20 yard line (this is when Paige smacked into the wall on a fade route to the corner of the end zone).

During the linemen drill (I only watched a little of it, as I was more interested in the 7 on 7), it looked like a coach would take a snap, and the D-line would have about 4 or 5 seconds to get to him and fake tackle him.

As far as the rest of the players looked, Creer fumbled once, but other than that, looked pretty good. He took a screen pass to the house during the 7 on 7 drill at one point. No one even touched him. That was the first successful screen pass I had ever seen in UT history. I mean, it was a TRUE screen. Let the D-linemen through, and get it to the RB in the open field with blockers downfield. Fulmer's idea of a screen pass was throw it directly to a WR in the slot with no blockers for a 2 yard loss.

That's about it, really. After the Paige injury, the team decided to end it. The whole thing lasted about an hour and 15 minutes. Keep in mind they had been practicing for an hour already before coming into Neyland Stadium.

If I forgot anything, or you wanted to know how another player did that I didn't mention, feel free to ask, and I'll tell ya what I remember.

wow are you a hs coach or do you just really love football practices because there is no way that i could have given that in-depth of a description of a fb practice...i would have talked about a couple of big hits and the fight and that's about it.

Haha. No, I've never been a football coach before. I've been a swim coach for 5 years, but not a football coach.

Everything that they did was so organized and polished that it was easy to tell what they were trying to accomplish. I tried to pay really close attention to try to see what was going on. And I figured you wanted an in-depth summary, so, I did my best!

Whats with JC's inability to take a snap, or effectively hand off the ball?

Hopefully by fall, Reaves and Kiffin will have JC able to take a snap.

he's just such a macho mountain man that he is physically unable to put his hands anywhere near another man's a$$ it's not even that he's homo-phobic he is seriously just unable to do it so unless we move him exclusively to the shot-gun he will aways fumble snaps just because of his condition.

I just go stand at the gate outside of the practice field, and watch all I want. It's extremely easy, and you can see about the entire field and what is going on.
