Who's hating on him? I want him to play as big as his size personally....

Same here - we could use a stud WR with his build.

I HOPE he is a stud that creates match-up problems. I just haven't seen anything to date to suggest he will be anything more than the occasional role player.

Hope you all have a good time. I'm considering going because I've never been to a practice. Getting up early is a challenge for me on Saturdays because that is my only "sleeping late" day. :crazy:

Apparently they did the circle of life drill yesterday. Jashon Robertson got the best of D. Blair and Hurd pushed Cortez McDowell around. This per T. Basilio's website.

Apparently, Blair came back and won the rest of his reps, including one against Jashon. These freshmen are no joke.

Glad Blair was able to bounce back. We are going to need him this year. Do you happen to remember where you read or heard this? I'd like to check it out.

I also read it as well, it was from a report posted in the football forum.

Here is the post highspeed. The OP was Fingers who brought a bunch of good info in that thread, however, I'm not sure where this came from though.

Quote:
"Do you want to win?," Jones asked, getting a resounding "Yes!" from his players. "I didn't like the way we came out. It was unacceptable."

Among the one-on-one battles that highlighted the drills were:

Coleman Thomas battling Dewayne Hendrix to a virtual stalemate; Jalen Hurd winning with a takedown of Cortez McDowell; Elliot Berry more than holding his own against Lemond Johnson; Rashaan Gaulden, a day after sitting out with a high-ankle sprain, scoring a decisive win against Geraldo Orta with a takedown; Kenny Bynum toppled Gavin Bryant; Dontavius Blair looked better than at any point in the spring in this drill, repeatedly handling Jashon Robertson, who had gotten an earlier win. Todd Kelly Jr. and Derrell Scott were pretty even until Kelly gained the upper hand; Chris Weatherd "beasted" Justin King, according to a UT staffer near the circle who witnessed it first-hand; Josh Malone took down Evan Berry; Dillon Bates appeared to top A.J. Branisel and Neiko Creamer while one of the final battles saw Derek Barnett overpower Daniel Helm.

Quote:
Defensively, the Vols worked a number of unique looks and also repped looks with much greater speed on the field. The Vols had Curt Maggitt, Dimarya Mixon and Corey Vereen together up front in a package that also saw A.J. Johnson and Jalen Reeves-Maybin roaming around a bit with a bevy of defensive backs in the mix.

Malik Foreman was back after missing Saturday's practice due to a death in the family; Foreman got some first-team reps at left corner along with Emmanuel Mosley.

-Jacob Gillam still at left tackle. Worley, Lane, North, Pearson, Malone. All three TEs rotated.

-The new walk-on Dellen Hash, quit.

Also, this quote from Hyams (I know, I know) on twitter:

@JimmyHyams Vols OL Dontavius Blair has lost about 7% body fat; he's in much better shape now than in spring when he struggled to make it thru practice

I would go over there and look for it, but I think I still have post traumatic symptoms from spending too much time over there during the Dooley years.

If it is posted in the FF then it is like a bar of soap getting dropped in an open bay shower.... just leave it where it is and get a new one. :stop:

Some of you guys spend way too much time bashing the FF. There are just as many nut jobs over here, which is what makes both forums entertaining. To each his own I suppose.

Probably the FF weirdos

Lol. Yeah, they came over here just to hijack that thread.

That thread is something though, am I right? And what about the silly star debates or the repetitive numbers discussions?

Just look at MockingVol's thread if you don't think we are dysfunctional in this forum.

The defense rests.

I like both forums. Just saying. I'll drop it now.
