*Fourth-year junior Kyler Kerbyson continues to work with the first-team offensive line at right guard ahead of Wiesman, a rising sophomore the staff really likes. At this early stage, it appears Tennessee has its top six linemen: newcomers Dontavius Blair and Coleman Thomas at tackles, Mack Crowder at center, Marcus Jackson at left guard, Kerbyson and Wiesman. Kerbyson has the versatility to play guard or tackle, which makes him a valuable player.

Sweet. I'm no expert but I'm sure they're just trying to nip that habit of staying so upright throught the line early. No biggie.

* We’ve covered offensive and defensive depth charts, but haven’t gotten as much of a feel for special teams. But for what it’s worth, junior Matt Giampapa was snapping to punter Matt Darr, who is generally considered the frontrunner in the punting race. Giamapa also has the most long-snapping experience.

From the link above. Moseley seems to be making an impression.

In the secondary, which is in flux due to injury and positional cross-training, we saw freshman Emmanuel Moseley and sophomore Cameron Sutton at cornerback, with junior LaDarrell McNeil and sophomore Devaun Swafford at safety. Justin Coleman has worked primarily at nickel.

AJ Johnson: it was better for me to come back for my senior year. You only get a certain amount of time you get to play at Tennessee.

AJ Johnson: I want to win a championship, I love Tennessee, who would want to leave Tennessee when you have a year left.

AJ Johnson: Coach Jones wanted me to come back, but he wasn't bugging me about it. He gave me my space.

AJ Johnson said he received a third or fourth round NFL draft grade

AJ on playing next to Curt Maggitt again: "We gonna be unstoppable."

AJ: I only have one sack, I don't have a pick. Some I'm looking for that.

Moseley needs to keep on eating, but he's starting to fill out that uniform nicely. Certainly he's come a very long way since the bean pole we saw on the phone committing to Coach Jones several months ago.

Dani Lewis: "Tennessee has six newcomers getting pretty regular work with the first team...Blair, Thomas, Wolf, Pearson, Moseley & Williams."

I'm white? Seriously

JONES: First day of pads - It was pretty evident we have a lot of work to do. I thought we showed our youth today.

OMG that's too funny! LOL

Racist imo. :lol:

"Josh Smith on his drops last season. It was tough. I'm white. They didn't bring me here to drop passes."

He really said that? Hilarious.

 

[NashVOL93]

Wolf and Helm made simultaneous appearances today in some two-TE sets per GVX. They complement each other so well that I've been looking forward to that since they both committed.

Butch said practice tempo was too slow ok both sides of the ball after being good on the first two days of practice.
