Watch: Tennessee Returns to the Practice Field for Day 2 of Fall Camp

 

[VolInDayton]

Who's number 13?

 

[MaxVolnGA]

Oh gasp! The coach flipped the QB’s working with the 1’s. Let the meltdown begin.
* Blue font definitely intended.

 

[Southern_Accent]

Man I'm really trying to curb my enthusiasm and take the wait and see approach, but I'm getting freaking heuped

 

[rjd970]

It's hard to get excited when these reporters post practice updates with football analysis and who did what good. But, I just feel like our QB play this year, whoever it is, will be 180 degrees from the crap show under the Pruitt regime.

Who's number 13?

Kamaal Hadden

Who's number 13?

 

[UT-Rex]

6'5" 244lb. loves to throw the ball.

 

[VolInDayton]

Kamaal Hadden

DBs are looking strong.

 

[SayUWantAreVOLution]

Am I the only one who looks at the first coupla days of Fall practice, thinks about the cleats in the back of the closet and thinks...... I COULD still..... I could..... I think I could...... spend about 2 weeks in UT Medical Center CVICU.......

 

[TrippieRedd]

Wonder how Turnage looks. I didn’t watch much of the video.

 

[butchna]

I was thinking the same...it was a surpise to see...at 6'5 it shouldn't be an issue.

It’s most likely one of the “deficiencies” Golesh mentioned. Not debilitating, but in effect it makes you shorter and takes away some of the advantage 6’5 height should provide. I remember similar being said about Dormady. Easier for DL to knock down passes.

Shockers.

Tyion Evans great interview, worth a listen.

That’s a myth. Mahommes throws side arm and is only 6’3”. The only issue with a lower pump action is the risk of it being stripped when the pocket starts to collapse

 

[vollygirl]

I'm gonna need a number 8 jersey.

Good grief. I sat here grinning for way too much of his interview. And I got chills at one point.

Dammit. I'm gonna get my heart broke again. But I'm gonna be screaming for these kids like crazy on September 2nd!!

GO VOLS!!!!!

Love the knoxville media bias...lol. 1 guy. Velus Jr spectacular catch....p. brown. Hb dropped a dime and jones adjusted.

He CAN throw sidearm and does when it’s needed. More on improvised situations when taller DL are in his face and he’s passing AROUND them…he’s not 6’5. He’s also not Bernie Kosar. Being fundamentally schooled by Kingsbury helped him shoot up the draft board during Senior Bowl workouts…that’s not a MYTH.

 

[BoroVol93]

Evans interview was the best you can hear the hunger and you can tell this team will play with that chip… can’t wait to see the product on game days

Mahommes throws side arm or a low 3/4 arm slot from the pocket. Also, Rex Grossman and Doug Flutie had solid NFL careers and they were both under 6 feet

If you looked at Mahomes from a purely mechanics point of view, without looking at success, you'd swear it wouldn't work well.

Dissecting every low elbow, holds the ball too long, or is too stiff isn't productive. A QB doesn't need to be a perfect mechanics robot, a QB needs to lead and get results. People forget Manning threw a butt load of INTs early on..... was he hopelessly careless with the ball? Did it screw up his career?

Let's dial down the hyper-analysis of: his motion isn't perfect or he's hesitating or he's not looking aggressive enough or whatever.

They're not going magically become perfect just like Mahomes isn't going to stop throwing sidearm, cross-body, cross field balls that shouldn't...... and don't always..... work. Great mechanics are wonderful but winning isn't just mechanics.
