So it's Milton then. Here. We. Go.

Some of the media guys have said his deep ball has looked really good the last few days.

That's good news because that was definitely a weakness at Michigan. He was overthrowing guys routinely. Interesting stuff.

 

[bignewt]

Wasn't he lightening up at one point to increase mobility?

Not sure if adding 10 lbs or what not is going to change what he's lacking. He's either going to become more accurate and consistent, speed up his play, etc over time or not. Jmo but a year under Hype could do him wonders.

I just don't think that is who he is. He is a pocket passer. He needs to be big and tall in the pocket and go vertical.

Maybe we just have faster receivers than Michigan?

 

[Maxwell865]

He was a Vol and was here to make it to the NFL, and Pruitt responded by making an insurance salesman his position coach.

I hate to break it to you, but if "in it for the money" bothers you, you need to find a new sport ASAP. The best players have always been about the money, but it's about to be so out in the open that not even our most naive fans will be able to deny it.

I said “only” for the money…. You can be about making that money and still have school pride…

I Heard Hooker took all of the first team reps today…..Milton and Bailey looked good today….Maurer showed a lot of frustration at not getting many reps at all…..Baron looks like a Beast and Hyatt looks dominate.

 

[Devo182]

Ideally if Hooker can find the aggressive vertical game he would be best option with how dangerous he can be with the legs.

Definitely the best runner of the group. Maurer up there too. But I just don't know if HH has the deep game and I have a hard time seeing this staff sacrifice for their deep shots. VT did that though.

 

[Ten_Titans]

I can't stand these stories lol.

Good for Trey obviously... But it makes us look soo bad that this happens so much. "Woah. Look at this guy. How on Earth did he fall so far in the draft? What was going on in college!?!"

Just once I want a JaMarcus Russell to come out of here. Just some tremendous bust our coaches were able to hide from NFL scouts with scheme.

I remember that so well, marching off with their little backpacks strapped on. Then you blink and the next thing you know, you’re moving them into college. Enjoy this time.

Mine started 1st grade this year also! It’s going by so fast.

This exact post has been posted about Lane, DD, Butch, bama Jeremey and now

no offense but the “culture is changing” Bs is old and stale

It may be old and stale but sooner or later things will change for the better. Now am I saying he is the next Neyland...no but with that in mind I would bet that some Clemson fans were disappointed when they hired Dabo. You never know for sure what you are getting but you can tell the difference between a coach and a snake oil salesman if you watch closely how they act around the players. Only one of those you mentioned and their staff ever had the players ear and he went to USC and has regretted it ever since.

I hope our QBs are learning to throw it up deep with air sometimes and let the WR track it down, that would be nice to see
Bama does it and our coaches the last few years never seemed to teach that

 

[Ten_Titans]

And you can have school pride and still transfer. HT never had a bad word to say about UT while he was here. Was wearing his UT wrist band at his Bama photo shoot. Darell Middleton transferred and still loves UT.

Perfect world no one would ever transfer, but we don't live in a perfect world.

I'm not gonna sit here and cheer for the guy at Bama and don't expect anyone else to either, but I can at least recognize leaving UT isn't the character problem some here make it out to be.

I just hope they throw it to a guy with a ORANGE T on his helmet !!!!

Part of that is certainly having multiple first round picks as your starting wide outs, but I agree.

After seeing all the QBs, I'd say HB is carrying the most "bad weight" of the bunch. You can get bigger without gaining weight. Just a matter of him increasing muscle and decreasing fat.

 

[Pacer92]

Bailey may have to redshirt, learn the offense more and wait his turn
I was pretty excited when we got him but maybe he was a little more hyped then what we think

Hard not to be intrigued by what Milton potentially brings if accuracy and decision making can be coached up..

The past has taught us to take everything the players say with a grain of salt. The vibe was very strong around here they we finally had a real football coach when bama Jeremy was receiving the praise from the players early on. History as taught me none of what we hear now matters one damn bit

I honestly think that only UT fans care about this. I haven’t once been teased by a non UT fan about how much we underutilized Kamara while he was here. It’s way more important to simply have great players in the NFL who came out of our program. Trey loves this university so he will be a great ambassador for it in the future.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Staff isn't high on Bailey. Think it's Milton's job to lose.

I disagree respectfully. I think Bailey just needs development but it doesn’t mean they don’t like him. And I hear Hooker may be ahead...

Thanks for the info. Always heard Hooker had a good shot because his legs are so good.

Schaeffer was better than Ainge, till he wasnt

 

[Johnny Majors' Ghost]

Bailey gonna be playing for Lincoln Riley after this season.
