Jabari Small, Tiyon Evans, Jay Blakely and Tyler Baron were all dressed today. Roman Harrison and Jeremy Banks went to workout indoors after the stretch period, as did LaTrell Bumphus. These players have returned during portions of group practice, but aren’t participating, mainly observing.


A lot of energy coming from Alex Golesh today and the TE’s group, as he’s very hands on with his group.

Whatever issue was slowing Hyatt down didn't appear to be impacting him much in brief viewing on Tuesday. The 6-foot, 175-pounder, who's expected to be one of Tennessee's top options on offense and could have a big season in this offense, was quick off the line and crisp out of his breaks on a couple of shorter routes. His speed and burst will fit right in with what the Vols want to do on offense.

Watching the defensive line go through the first drill, Kurott Garland, Thomas, Darel Middleton and Bryson Eason all showed impressive quickness to move around the hoop on the ground. Most impressive of all, though, was Byron Young. The junior college transfer is long, lean and noticeably explosive, and he went through the drill much faster than the bigger guys ahead of him. Also worth noting that Dominic Bailey was second in line in that drill after getting a lot of second-team work in Saturday's open practice.

Pretty crisp routes on air for the quarterbacks and Velus Jones Jr., Jimmy Calloway, Andison Coby and Walker Merrill. The Vols continue to work on a lot of option-type routes where what the receiver runs is based on the defender's alignment. Inside leverage means break the route toward the sideline and outside leverage means a crossing pattern/drag. Natural picks are also going to be a feature for this offense at the receiver position.

3rd!

Thanks for sharing. Interesting to see the QB/WR work..... definitely a work in progress.

 

[IluvdoubleD's]

that's a nice little practice move at the end of the second video. not sure i've seen them practice popping the ball out before.

 

[GrizzlyVol]

New comer #19 Merrill is smooth in his route running, I swear BM just looks like the kind of QB for this system, Dee Beckwith is a damn beast!!

 

[Pacer92]

Andison Coby looks to have some twitch..

 

[Volfan76]

I see HB has picked up JG's goofy over exaggerated foot stomp. I was hoping to not have to see that again.

 

[Gary10ec1]

Like the tempo. Seem more focused than the last regime.

 

[joevol33]

Thanks Fingers

 

[ACvol3]

I bet walker will play this season

Of all the things to complain about... lol

I didn’t know JG had cornered the market on the “goofy over exaggerated foot stomp”

 

[whodeycin85]

Man I like HH. Wish he had a bit more zip...ball seems to hang a little

 

[1vol8]

Austin Price strikes again. I don’t think the man can have a 100% honest write up. He picks his guy every year, and adds that extra “pop” to that guy in every report. As if HB and BM didn’t connect on anything deep all day? Come on man

Thx Fingers.

Natural picks are also going to be a feature for this offense at the receiver position.

Finely Finally good to see some of this in OUR offense instead of every other high octane offense in the conference. Going against it in practice will undoubtedly help our defense too.

Many NFL Qb’s do that.

 

[butchna]

Many NFL Qb’s do that.

It’s not a big deal.

 

[ABINGDON VOL FAN]

It’s not a big deal.

My point exactly.

He’s too busy liking girls photos on twitter

There’s some talent out there, that’s for sure. I love the pace of things. If we can get some bodies healthy, who knows.

I'm not part of the Grammar Police, but my Lord, I've never heard of that word used in that manner. Now, that is one for Volnaruon Thesaurus. Next to Pocket Presents, and PreMadonna.

May have already been discussed so sorry if it has, but what's the deal with the black stripes back on the helmets? At 1st I thought it was just the outer shell but noticed it was on the QBs as well.
