Vols Practice Thread #17

[VOLINVONORE]

We keep hearing about DK not participating, no JJ and not much about Ignont. What great info have we heard about Bituli? I could be wrong but it seems like we arent hearing the best news.

If one looks hard enough, one can find a few things that could be improved. I think the play of our LBs will not be a position which will cost us ball games.

Many seem to forget Kirkland is a young man with a photographic memory. That's not anecdotal, he really has been tested and confirmed to have this talent. He's more than ikely your defensive signal caller most of the time. He is THE guy on our defense more likely to get the right call and players aligned the way the coaches want. Methinks there is much more to the story about the way DKJr is being managed because he is going to be relied on so heavily this season is my bet. Don't forget CJP went out of his way to re-recruit DKJr to stick around when most everyone thought he was gone, there was a reason for that, not that I claim to know what it was/is, just putting my best guess out there.

Josh Dobbs had the same thing (photographic memory). That's how he was able to get through engineering while playing football at the same time. Quite a feat.

The continuing Daren Kirkland news is troubling to say the least

From an optimistic point of view, this could be this staffs way of avoiding further injury to a player that is expected to contribute but is battling back from injury by limiting reps and easing them into the fold. Maybe it will work, it seemed like the previous regime always rushed players back from injury, and ended up getting them hurt again (Evan berry).

Smoke Screen. He’s been practicing as soon as the media is escorted off the field. He will be ready to play.

hope Coach Pruitt didn't lead with his head...Will, will be fine...just turn him loose...

GO VOLS!

It's going to be a loong and continual, but overall frustrating effort and (est) 00:26:00 t.o.p. for Grier.

Dobbs does not possess an eidetic memory. Butch stated in a press conference that he had a "photographic memory" in reference to his abilities to learn the playbook and run the offense.

Yes I know. That's why I stated (as Remy did about Kirkland) that Dobbs has a photographic memory. I don't know how eidetic memory comes into the conversation. I know they're two different things, but neither Remy nor I mentioned it.

That's really not uncommon. I have a photographic memory also. Just the other day someone showed me a photograph and I remembered seeing it in the past. It just comes natural for me. When I was just a small kid, I was so bright my mother called me son.

I think Coach Pruitt sticks to the program, if I heard him right. They set up a treatment/workout p!an at the beginning and stay with it, perhaps, even if the player 's improvement outstrips the plan. Erring on the side of caution.

It’s because Darrin Kirkland is going to be our QB. Can’t give anything to WV.

You win the day!

Uhhh Bituli has been said to be the Vocal Leader in that group, seems to me like if you aren't hearing anything that is good news.
