Vols Practice Thread Tuesday

[Fingers]

DL Aubrey Solomon and TE Austin Pope were working on the side with S&C staff during the open period today. WR Jauan Jennings also looked limited during individual drills.

It was a lighter practice for many of Tennessee’s vets Tuesday, with Jauan Jennings, Marquez Callaway both a bit limited during indy work. Center Brandon Kennedy, who noted that he plans to appeal for a sixth year of eligibility, was also ceding reps to Jerome Carvin and Ryan Johnson.

Tennessee’s quarterbacks and tailbacks spent nearly an entire period working on swing passes. That’s obviously been a sore subject for the offense this season, with Jim Chaney even noting Tuesday, “It’s not that hard of a throw guys!”

The offensive line worked on combo blocks early, and Trey Smith continued his destruction of opposing lineman. He put a poor scout teamer on his back on one pull block.

Wanya Morris was dragging a bit and a couple GAs were trying to get the freshman to push through whatever was bothering him Tuesday.

Notably, Quavaris Crouch, who played just 10 snaps against Missouri, was with the inside linebackers Tuesday.

Jauan Jennings wasn’t a participant during the “On-Air” drills, though he was out there with the group. he could’ve easily been just getting some rest, as this group has been beat up over the last few games.

Aubrey Solomon was working on the bike, as he continues to recover from a “head injury”. Austin Pope also joined him on the side.

With Pope absent, Tennessee had just three non-scout team tight ends going through the drills: Dominick Wood-Anderson, Andrew Craig and Jacob Warren.

Freshman wide receiver Jerrod Means, who hasn't played since the Alabama game, went through a period of drills with the wideouts, but went to join Pope and Solomon on the bike during routes-on-air work.

Two noteworthy items: Jahmir Johnson was present and going through drills and Will Friend slowed down one rep of guard/center work to give some extra coaching on technique to freshman Chris Akporoghene.

After playing every snap against Missouri, cornerback Bryce Thompson again went through drills normally on Tuesday with a black sleeve on his right leg, and To'o To'o continues to go through drills with a sleeve on his knee and a large brace on his elbow.

It’s not just a sore subject for the offense. It should be a sore subject for anyone associated with Tennessee football at all. This f’ing play hasn’t worked once this season. Ever . F’ing Ever.

Near-sightedness.....

The theme this week should be "Unfinished Business!"

End the losing streak
Continue to get better
Correct the unforced errors and sloppiness from last week
Pour on the Steam in the running game
Get Special Teams back to being Special
Get CJP HC record up to 0.500
Improve quality of Bowl invitations

Edit: Add Seniors do not leave winless verses Vandy!

It's Vandy. Do we really need them?

They've beaten us 3 consecutive years...5 out of 7...we absolutely need everyone!

We need to destroy them. Go Vols!

 

[jwilliams]

HT is starting to look like Gronk!

 

[Sara Clark]

Well, I don't know. I thought about it a minute before typing it...Seems like both Missouri and Vandy look like a different team when they play us. Vandy has beaten us for a few years now....

I want to never lose to Vandy again in my lifetime

CJP needs to needs to realize that Vanderbilt is to Tennessee like Auburn is to Alabama. Scum of the earth.

Outside of Hurd and Kamara (sometimes), I don't remember it working with regularity since Jay Graham.

I cant stand that the QBs throw it at the RBs instead of leading him a little bit. It seems its always a backwards pass.

What happened to the two freshmen tight ends we signed?

It’s amazing. It’s a staple of most any college team, done with similar reliability as a dive off tackle. Except for the Vols.

Wasn't that the first play of the year and Chandler fumbled?
