any reports on today's scrimmage?

Boogie Bentley did a show on Youtube and had a coach T on the show that was at the scrimmage. Coach T spoke glowingly of Nico and several defensive players including the BYU transfer Pilli (SP). Coach T also said the Milton was inaccurate with his passes which does not surprise me as he is working with new receivers at some positions. At this point the defense is ahead of the offense as is usual for spring practice.

I wonder which receivers Nico threw to? There are not a lot of experienced receivers on the team.

i think heupel meant he was getting penetration into the offesnsive backfield

lol, I guess I didn't quite understand the context of this statement: "He was playing on the other side of the line of scrimmage today at times ..."

It looks like Squirrel White really impressed. Here is a link with details:

I wonder does Heup smoke? I have yet to see him speaking without hacking some.
Surely they get exhaustive physicals annually..

He has allergies. And Knoxville is terrible on this this time of year.

So Elijah Simmons is getting some work on OL? I'm guessing at Guard position.

I don’t see how that is going to work. Vols don’t rotate OL and Simmons only seems to be able to go for a few plays at a time. Maybe a goal line package…the guy is definitely strong.

Edit: Saw your clarification. Simmons was observed to be on the offensive side of the line but not because he started there! I really hope he has some success this year. I saw him in a practice clip and he looked a little trimmer.

With all respect that’s not exactly what Coach T said re: Milton vs Nico.

Instead what he said was actually a little worrying bc his observation is that Joe still has trouble making the right judgments in live fire situations. He tends to throw to covered receivers instead of seeing the play develop.

Whereas in his judgment Nico can see the whole field.

In static non-live throwing drills he said Nico is actually slightly ahead of Joe but there’s really little difference there.

Yes he said all of this after adjusting for the difference between the ones and twos plus non contact jerseys and developing plays that were stopped before fully developing etc.

The IMPLICATION being that Joe might struggle in games which could result in a potential QB controversy this year.

TIFWIW and don’t shoot me I’m just the messenger .

wait... I've seen this before
