Vols Fall Practice #9

[Berry4Heisman14]

Getting extremely worried about QB.

 

[RockyTop140]

Well it’s sounding more and more like JA will be the guy. Which most expected. But I hope Merk gets it turned around and it least makes it competitive

 

[CamVol8]

Is Josh Josephs back at practice?

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

"Two of his passes were slighlty UNDERthrown"

Talk dirty to me.

I know we've seen a lot of overthrown passes and I hate to be "picky" but..... Yikes.

I would rather see passes sail 10yds than come back the wrong way.

 

[Ft.MyersVols]

One was talking total passes and Eric was just talking deep shots. I believe Eric even said Joey had the best day of the 3 in the time they were there

Math isn't my strong suit, but I don't think you can be 3-6 on deep shots and 16-18 overall.

lol yeah my bad

 

[Delmar]

Run the ball with JA on 1st & 2nd down. Gmac gets all obvious passing situation snaps.

If you have to play 2 QB’s, you don’t have one.

 

[WaywardVol]

lol yeah my bad

These reports mean little to nothing. You’d have to have an insider who is in the closed portions to get any real idea.

Someone said the interior OLine got shoved around in the scrimmage. You won’t see that from Hubbs or any of these other mouth pieces. Satterwhite is another example of a developmental player that can’t get with it. A center who struggles with o snap the ball. Seriously??

Pendleton will start and Perry will move to guard.

I think the math reference was at 16-18 only allows for two misses and rules out the 3-6 at distance.

 

[GUNTERSVOL]

Getting extremely worried about QB.

Do we ever get total practice numbers? Might be going 56-62 the rest of the way.

True. But its been like this a few times now. Sometimes the sample size is legit.
Hopefully not

Its the WR room for me.

Problem with that plan. The defense would be very likely to "pin their ears back" and go full on pass rush. Gmac needs a little more mass to survive that onslaught.

tell 1997 Florida that

 

[The Original Fade]

Sure, they’ll never know a passing play is coming when GMac enters the game on every 3rd and long.

 

[Big Orange Captain]

Look likes to me Merk is falling back behind JA and GMac

 

[PEPPERJAX]

The best coaches reside right here in the football forum.

That's when you surprise them and run the ball again lol

 

[ftsandersvol]

Good thing we don’t play “air” on our schedule

Maybe throwing against "air' has a tendency to lead to a lack of focus. I know for sure if I didn't have a defender I had to deal with I would probably be 0-15 on my throws. Add a defender in the mix, and I would still be 0-15, but with 15 interceptions. It's all about focus.

Merk is gonna be fine.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

Fingers!!

Thanks man

 

[ENGRVOL]

Thanks Fingers

Disappointing to hear about the TE’s dropping passes as they had been consistent in the first week of practice but the media is only seeing a fraction of practices so who knows.

Will be very telling week 1 with the play calling what our coaches think of our passing game imo.

 

[ftsandersvol]

the age old question. Day 9 of practice, tempo may be getting to some of the FR WR but for guys like Matthews, Davis and Kitselman if it hits their hand then it should be a catch.

Someone needs to inspect our wide receivers' gloves. The Nike gloves I tried on one time were like glue. There's no way in the world anyone should ever drop a ball wearing those things.

 

[BruiserVol]

Screw what I said about Gmac’s frame. Play the dude. I am sick and tired of reading that he is the best in every practice. He looked better in the spring game than Merk with even less experience than he has now. This kids only missed deep ball was “overthrown” while the others were under throwing. Just get it over with lol.
