Tuesday practice 3.8

[Fingers]

Practice should end around 6.
Brice

Josh Dobbs had a back-shoulder throw 25 to 30 yards downfield along the right sideline that simply was sublime.

The Vols continue to rep an all-rookie left side of the line in redshirt-freshmen Venzell Boulware at guard and Drew Richmond at tackle.

Ethan Wolf and Jason Croom are instantly giving the Vols good depth and looks at tight end. The key will be keeping Croom healthy. He can be a difference-maker.

Fort

I know they haven't put pads yet, but Jalen Hurd looks like a machine. We may not see a lot of him this spring when it comes to contact, but he looks ready to have a big junior year.

And once again, Preston Williams continued to show up. He seems to have a different mentality about him to begin spring practice. He's shown he has the ability to be a very good weapon.

Hunbs

I continue to like what I see from Marquill Osborne. He certainly looks the part. Jeff George and Vincent Perry are two young receivers doing nice things early who are going to get a lot of reps

Back to defense, athletically hard not to love Justin Martin and Rashaan Gaulden. This is an athletic team. And it's a team competing. They have to continually be told to stay up and not tackle.

John Brice: Seems Preston Williams @ThResort just had his black stripe removed after a 2nd-straight strong practice. #Vols

Rucker: #Vols’ Soph LB Darrin Kirkland on Soph DT Kahlil McKenzie: “He’s kind of a man amongst boys. It’s kind of ridiculous sometimes."

I hope this spring is less of an injury bug than last.

"Jason Croom said he's up to 250 pounds as he transitions to tight end"

I pray J Croom can have a healthy senior year. He can be a huge mismatch at TE and give defenses nightmares. Kid has had a tough time staying healthy but has played through a lot of it. A huge year and he can can set himself up nicely for the draft and help UT get to where we all want to be... ATL and the playoffs

"How did you feel practice went today Jason?"
"Yes"

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Liking what I'm hearing so far. I predicted Preston Williams would be the breakout star for us on offense this year.

Of course you did.

 

[Go Fight Win]

Of course you did.

You'd be smart to pay attention to D4H




















Heard he watches a hell of a lot of football

I would love to see him be split out wide in goal line situations against a Line Backer or corner. That's pretty much an automatic 6 either due to size or speed. The kid can be a difference maker for sure.

Croom looks real thick around the middle.

Croom looks real thick around the middle.

I'm waiting for D4H to assess his body (ala Cortez McDowell)

Didn't feel like waiting. :wink2:

 

[Dobbs 4 Heisman]

Of course you did.

I also predicted Stephen Griffin would break out on the defensive side. I'm guessing when he starts balling out, you'll act like everyone saw that coming as well.

Almost everyone on the team is in phenomenal shape. Cortez just disappointed me last year.

Hopefully he hit the weight room and diet hard this off-season to get rid of that belly fat.

 

[butchna]

I predicted Barnett and Hurd would. "break out". No one has ever told me how awesome I am. :cray:

 

[weirdfishes]

Stop fighting, you're all pretty.

 

[Hacksaw]

Croom is enjoying being able to eat like a lineman.

 

[RikidyBones]

Stop fighting, you're all pretty.

Pretty ugly.








IMO siap

 

[tomq_123]

Sorry, MZTERRY. Croom's been eating a lot of Peanut Butter........cookies.

"Yes"

I laughed.
