"There were rumblings of a defensive back injury on Sunday. Cam Sutton hurt his wrist in practice. I'm told this morning that x-rays were negative. He's obviously going to be limited and watched closely the next few days. But it doesn't appear to be anything serious at this point. If need be they will get an MRI look at it at some point I'm sure but that might not be needed. Again, the x-ray's according to a couple of different people I have spoken with were negative yesterday."

D4H went overboard but he isn't completely off base on latest comment. Last yr we all seem to wonder wth was going on as injuries piled up before game 1. I can't lie it's been my biggest fear this offseason is to hope the staff gets the kids to the game now that they have the team. I assume they have learned some things to help prevent certain ones but you can't prevent something like a wrist injury. That can happen in any drill by simply falling on it wrong or hitting a pad wrong etc. I know the hit foreman out on Croom in the recent highlight film TN put out from week 1 gave me the creeps. Hit him low. Stuff like that should probably be avoided in camp

Hoping and praying Hubbs is right this time- his record lately isn't as good. Any insiders know for sure is it just a sprained wrist or worse? Damn he came back for this season he is a key player in every sense.

team info vs recruiting info is different animal. Recruiting can change in matter of minutes. THe info someone tells you now can change by tonight. Team info doesn't change like that. I'd trust Hubbs on something like this.

Butch has been learning on the job for this elite level of football. He has improved each season along with the teams. Examples are the W/L column, roster condition, hiring better quality coaches when given the opportunity, new direction in the S&C, etc. He even learned valuable lessons and made changes after the Okie and UF disasters in his personal game management. Add in the improved personal conduct and academics of the team as the Fulmer Cup years fade from view. This is where the brick by brick analogy kicks in again. Until he tops out below the level of excellence everybody wants to see attained - he should be free to do it his way.

I have grown to admire his diligence and drive to be the best. Whether he can or not will be revealed this season IMO. It is all "teed" up and ready to be hit out of sight. He gets full credit for that regardless of the final outcome. The program is in a hundred times better shape than it was a decade ago.

Clearly VQ knew it was Cam but didn't want to report it until they verified the severity. I'm sure that a report of "Cam Sutton was injured at practice on Sunday and will miss time depending on the severity" would have triggered a giant meltdown.

it’s entirely likely butch jones might not have had a single player who could top 20 mph when he first arrived at the university of tennessee in 2012.

Now the vols’ fourth-year head coach has by far his speediest roster — and newcomer tyler byrd presently rests atop the list.

A freshman skill player from south florida, byrd was clocked at 23.7 mph, according to a picture posted monday on tennessee's official snapchat account. Second on the list also was a newcomer, rookie defensive back nigel warrior, who registered a 21.6.

Both players have wowed through one week of camp and should contend for immediate playing time.

Meanwhile, senior linebacker jalen reeves-maybin registered a blistering 21.1; he’s an nfl draft prospect who weighs almost 235 pounds. Senior nickelback malik foreman also topped 21, and cameron sutton, a preseason all-sec candidate, hit exactly 21 mph.

In all, the vols had a dozen players crack 20 mph, including jalen hurd, who was clocked at 20.3 mph.freshman cornerback marquill osborne (20.9 mph), sophomore running back john kelly (20.8), junior wide receiver jeff george (20.7), redshirt junior wide receiver josh smith (20.4), junior cornerback justin martin (20.3) and sophomore linebacker darrin kirkland jr. (20.1) also registered top speeds above 20 mph.

Up front, tennessee measured its 16-mph men. The vols had five defensive linemen crack that mark, with newcomer jonathan kongbo posting a blistering 18.4 mph at 282 pounds. Even 316-pound kahlil mckenzie nabbed a 16.3 mark.

Again, entirely predictable. This kind of thing happens every year, every where. It's football. People get hurt playing it. The incessant meltdowns and finger pointing every fall camp when we have an injury are one of my pet peeves. We have the depth to cover for this, even if we were to lose Cam. Losing him would not change my expectations for this season.

With that said, I'd much rather have him, so I'm glad to hear this isn't serious.

Do you guys think the opener will sell out?

I have overpaid for season opener tickets pretty much every year for the past 10 by buying them directly through UT. Would I be better off waiting and buying them on the street or electronically on StubHub just before kickoff?

It won't be the same crowd as Florida, but might still be reported as a sellout and Neyland will look really good, imo.

Doesn't help answer your question too much. My bad.

I'm thinking several players we'd expect to see did not run. Berry was over 20mph in the spring, so I highly doubt he slowed down. I'm thinking guys like Berry, Kamara, and P. Williams did not participate.

Correct. These are just devices they place on certain players during practice to track speed, distance, etc.

Not everyone has a tracker and, even when they do, they may not ever get up to their actual top speed. It's just the fastest speed they tracked on that player during the course of a practice.

Haha. Well, I felt really stupid after Montana, Utah State, BGSU, etc., when looking at StubHub just before the game and seeing decent tickets go for $10 or less when I had just paid $40/each. Every year I think it's going to sell out, but there are always plenty of tickets available at kickoff.

Yeah, the last game I went to was Utah state, and I paid more than what they went for just before the game. But I was also planning the trip with multiple other people, so we paid that earlier price for the security of knowing where the hell we would be sitting, that we would be together, that we would have an awesome view, etc.

If you're going with just a couple other people, or yourself, and are okay with the 'risk' of being in the visitor section or something, you'll save some money.

I think the secondary market is gonna be a lot bigger the week leading up to the game because of the Thursday kickoff.

Not sure how Thursday is going to change it but in years past that opening game hasn't sold out and I have still paid more that I wanted to due to long lines at the ticket office


If I had to guess with it being Thursday the walk ups will be less

Does the ticket office lower prices on gameday?

I always buy mine in advance because I like to plan everything ahead of time.

Not sure but I think they flood stub Hub with cheaper tickets so it doesn't look like they actually do it
