Tuesday practice highlights

I fell asleep halfway through. What'd I miss? I hope it wasn't stretching.

I just realized that must have been 3rd quarter adjustment practice.

I am probably just jaded but watching our QBs in practice just work timing with one wide receiver at a time is killing me. It looks like it teaches them to lock in on 1 guy. Have several run routes and work progressions.

Absolutely. No Energy. That's the way Pruitt's Practices look. "You play like you practice". I think Pruitt want's to be the Players' Friend. Well if you have plenty of Leaders; you might get away with that. This team doesn't.

Well, they at least spend time on the practice field but I'm not sure if that counts as practice.

I agree. A lot of standing around, walking back. Hell, even my high school team wouldn’t let you walk on the field. You had to run to get back in line for drills.

Sled drills against a foam pad, agility ladder drills, bla, bla. Ever see a defender in a game run sideways, pick up his knees? Waste of time!

We have so many blown coverages, missed tackles, interference calls, missed blocking assignments, all happening in real time with real people. They would be better off just running plays and getting the game part of it under control. Leaning into a foam dummy doesn't teach you anything other than how to use your hands to push off the dummy.

QB get to throw passes and receivers get to run routes, while other qb stand around and wait a turn. No wonder JG likes practice and does so well, no one is chasing him and he gets to step into his throws. Watch him in a game, he throws off his back foot, or flat footed from open stance, not getting his shoulders turned and not stepping into his throws.

All I want to see is Harrison Bailey taking every snap, and coaches working to get him up to speed fast.

Tell you right now after watching that clip, Pruitt is going to keep going with JG, God help us.

I would be happy if I can see HB taking snaps for 3 qtrs, Gray at rb for 60% of the plays, and Lawrence, Thomas, and several other true freshmen playing majority of the snaps this Sat.

It just concerns me that so few people, and apparently one head coach don't realize what we have in Harrison Bailey. This kid received his first college offer from Mark Richt in early 2016, then North Carolina, Florida, Texas A&M, Alabama, Ole Miss, Georgia, Michigan, Ohio State and Tennessee. We are so very fortunate to have him chose Tennessee and we should be doing everything humanly possible to get him ready to play.

Instead coach bone head is play a 5th year senior that is ranked as possibly the worst QB in the SEC, while Bailey receives very few reps and is being treated like some walk on.

My fear is he walks over to the Transfer Portal and say let me move on to Alabama or Georgia or Texas A&M or even Ole Miss with Kiffin.
