Poor tackle play, especially if it is just one side of the line can be schemed around with the play makers we have on offense now.

That being said I haven't been pleased with the lack of screen plays called this far.

Well we didn't have OL, other than James, athletic enough to run as many screens we wanted. However, the screens we did run were awful and rarely got anyone in space

So. When I woke up this morning and opened my eyes, the strangest thing happened. I could see vibrant colors and I could see everything with HD clarity.

The fog of the off season has been lifted folks.


It's Football Time in Tennessee!!!

That's fair. Good thing about Hurd is it isn't a dead give away it's going to be a screen like it was every time with D Young when he came in

Let's talk about the 'Orange Code' the Vols established Wednesday night as a team and more of what it entails. It was a players-led meeting, with the Vols' players' staff playing a key role but sources telling VolQuest.com a number of team members had a big hand in the meeting.

So what's the 'Orange Code'? Players convened to discuss what they need to do coming into this season to be more unified, more efficient and precisely how they believe they can return the Vols to the postseason.

The goal, per players, is to come together more closely in all facets. So this is a team now planning more team-wide functions, with everyone hanging out together rather than splitting off into factions, be it defensive cliques or positional groupings. The message players delivered one another was of 'one together.' They discussed having more team dinners, making sure their teammates aren't eating alone --- regardless of position --- and basically being a unified front.

They also established behavioral guidelines for the season. Players voted to sustain a policy of no going out on Thursday nights during season and also of no bars during the season. Leaders on the team indicated they would again be conducting in-season checks of area businesses, etc.

This team seems to have their heads in the right place! Pumped!!!!

I love seeing the team come together as a TEAM. If the boy's play, and for all service members this is meant with no disrespect to you and your service to the country which I truly respect, as a "Band of Brothers" for lack of a better term they will accomplish a lot. You can tell in the past that the members of the team have been fragmented. They may have played on the same Tennessee football team, but they were not team mates. The new recruiting class, along with Butch's first class that came in brought with it a new mindset. Most of the players now on the team were either recruited by CBJ or they have remained because they like CBJ's message and want to be a part of the rebirth of UT football. I like all of my VN brothers and sisters can not wait till "IT"S FOOTBALL TIME IN TENNESSEE."

As far as that last bit about the Thursday nights and bars go, well that is asking a lot of teenage boy's. Let's just hope they stay out of the trouble that seems to follow so many like the pup's in GA, and Criminoles down in FL.

GO BIG ORANGE - L & R FOR ALL VN

Maybe because I'm tired hearing Bama's hype this one game wonder up. He had ONE good game period. Now you are already thinking he's better than Shaun Alexander. Let him at least carry a team on his back first or something.

I'm excited to see how the freshmen do today. Specifically, Hurd, and Malone. Butch has raved about those 2 specifically.

Not to mention the fact that Hurd is exactly the kind of freak athlete who can make any nature of screen---ugly or otherwise---look great.

Not sure what's wrong. Looks like a lower body injury. We've seen other guys get carted off, too. We'll know more at the end of practice.

“Berry had a sore ankle. It’s not an Achilles tear or any of that, but they’re evaluating him. They’re just seeing what it is,” Reid said, via Herbie Teope of the Associated Press.
