Tennessee Drill

[illvol]

I read on TOS, "Once again, Butch Jones quickly challenged his team's physicality with a number of one-on-one physical challenges in the 'Tennessee Drill."

What is the "Tennessee Drill"?

 

[wildemanvol]

Some people call it the Oklahoma drill. O-lineman vs. d-lineman, Rb and Qb. Qb snaps the ball (sometimes with a center sometimes not) and hands off to the Rb. O-lineman tries to block the d- lineman. D-lineman tries to shed the block and make the tackle. It's run between 2 pads that define the "hole" the Rb is suppose to run through. Sometimes it is expanded to include 2 o-lineman vs. a d-lineman and linebacker. Could be expanded further, but usually it's a 1 vs. 1 drill for the big men.

My favorite part came when walk-on defensive lineman Charles Folger was matched with freshman Brett Kendrick for a one-on-one drill. I’m not sure if he was being serious or sarcastic, but Folger called for Antonio “Tiny” Richardson to go against him. Tiny’s response: “You ain’t ready for me. Take the freshman, boy.”

Got it...thanks. I saw some of that work on the practice video but wasn't sure if that's what it was. It's great to hear some freshman were holding their own.

Sounds like Folger thinks he's Rudy now.

"Folger called for Antonio “Tiny” Richardson to go against him. Tiny’s response: :nono: “You ain’t ready for me. Take the freshman, boy.” LOL Best quote in a long time. Love it.

It may be akin to tugging on Superman's cape, but you gotta love the fact that Folger wanted the challenge of taking on Tiny in a one-on-one drill.

He probably wanted to at least be able to tell his grandkids about the time he got pancaked by Tiny.

I miss having a coach that could talk about Tennessee football like Fulmer could.

Not to derail the thread...but they mentioned Josh Smith working with the first team the previous day, but rehabbing an injury this day at practice. Anyone have any idea on the injury?

Sorry if already addressed elsewhere...

I don't even know where to start.

The fact that he looks like this guy from Super Troopers:

Or, for challenging a guy with 90lbs on him and is probably a future 1st Round selection in a 1v1... his aptly chosen major.
