Bowles is having a great early camp. Probably healthy for the first time in a while and it shows. Pulling for him.

Bowles and Smith are 2 WR's no one has been talking about because of Malone and Pearson, but these 2 guys are looking good so far this camp.

Love our wideouts! Just wish we had a halfway decent qb to throw them more than a slant or bubble screen.

Wharton: I am trying to listen to all of the coaches and do what they ask for. You can be part of #WRU without being competitive.`

Wharton: I'm just trying to be coachable and help the team wherever I'm needed. Kick team, punt team anywhere.

Wharton: The older guys really helped me over the summer. Everyone is teaching each other.

Wharton: I'm just trying to CTT, catch, tuck turn. @UTCoachZA is hard on me and I accept it.

Danny O has a 'stump' look to him. That's neither a good or bad statement, just a statement.

ftr, Wegzyn threw that INT to Randolph. So much for the hype.

Smith, right in the feels:

#Vols Soph WR Josh Smith: I would have benched myself last year after all those drops … but these coaches kept believing in me. I love ‘em.

Tackling seems like a problem

My tally from the vimeo link:

Moseley missed @4:52

Swafford missed one @5:21

McNeil missed @5:28

Orta missed @5:35

I couldn't tell who missed at 5:55 but FFS it's Croom. Good luck. I think maybe Coleman?

Sutton missed @6:02

Payne missed @6:13

Moseley missed @6:17

Swafford missed @6:22

Jones? missed @6:32

McNeil got beasted @6:43



Let me follow this up by saying I'm not looking to call any of these guys out. They're doing a 1v1 drill in practice for this so they can get zero'd in on as a problem. However, some other thoughts:

Moseley is just small at 180 to go 1v1 against a guy like Malone that has 20-25lbs on him or Croom who has 60lbs. He's a smallish guy at 6' 180 and he's also just a Freshman. He'll get better.

Sutton missed one but we know he's a sure tackler in open field. Not really worried.

Kelly looked punishing in his 2 that were shown. I honestly think he takes FS this year.

Randolph looked good and I think notched both of his showings.

The rest of the guys on there probably won't see much of the field in all honesty and we also don't know what the entire drill showed as some guys only appeared once.

Last thought: having to practice on wrapping up Pearson, Malone, Croom, Johnson, Smith, etc can only make our DBs much better. That's a really slippery group to try to 1v1.

EDIT: put in the source video so there won't be confusion

I'm sure it had nothing to do with Randolph completely trashing the receiver's route. Just terrible throwing amirite? Right?

Incredible athlete that just got the drops. It's mental and happens. Kenny Britt for Titans had them for 2 years. I saw my fantasy wr AJ Green drop 3 easy ones in a game last year, and he's an all pro.

Croom shedding tackles. Hope we get to see that this year when it counts !
