Thursday practice thread (4/10)

[Darth_Shiveman]

It won't be week three. Doubt we want a first start to be in Norman OK.

Conspiracy theory: the coaches think Riley gives us the best chance at winning big, but that Worley can win our first two games. They don't want OU to have any film on Riley so that he catches them by surprise. This is also why the Orange and White game will not be recorded or televised

I'm never one of those to criticize the staff but I just can't believe that's the best kickoff coverage unit we can field. I thought the point of adding all this talent was for Toney and Summerhill to go back to anonymity.

You may want to wait until the second wave of recruits make it in.

I wouldn't be surprised at all if both of the Berry twins end up on kickoff coverage.

Good work, Freak.

With each passing spring, it becomes more obvious to me the huge advantage it is in having new players arrive early in the spring rather than in the summer.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

I got this feeling that RF will be starting the opener against Utah State.

Thanks. If I'm counting correctly, we have more EEs than seniors.

 

[fade route]

Bates, Bryant, Gaulden, Kelly, McDowell, Wharton, Henderson, Berry, Berry and Weatherd can fix special team problems once they get on campus

You just reminded me that we have an incredible amount of talent that isn't even on campus yet. This class was a good one for sure.

The QB situation is getting a little frustrating. I can't believe nobody is really pulling away and trying to take the job. I don't want to see multiple QBs like last year.

I see it opposite. Looks like ferg slightly is. Cbj is going to say is open competition until kickoff against Utah St

I hope you're right

 

[Coug]

Wouldn't be surprised if Ferguson takes over for Worley in week two or three.

Watch the Butch Jones presser.

With regard to Thursdays(4/10/14) practice only.

Butch Jones @ 3:51: I thought Riley had more leadership than any of them but not to our standard by which we're going to play quarterback here at TN.

Butch Jones @ 4:08: We don't believe in depth charts in our football program.

Yeah he will have to start before the Oklahoma game to get his feet wet. Hope someone really pulls away. We need a clear cut starter by fall camp.

Well yeah, something like that....and so on and so forth.

 

[HARTUPM]

...

It's "lockdown corner" time in Tennessee?!

If a QB was pulling away, you wouldn't hear about it. Jones has no incentive to name a starting QB right now.

Whatever works. I don't care if I never know who's starting again, as long as we're winning on game day.

What about the incentive that Vol Nation demands it?

I like the sound of that.

Wouldn't bother me if they were both on ko returns either.

its competition. jones knows the two main guys are improving and he is just leaving it open so he can push them harder. some people need to relax. Jones is the king of coach speak. every interview sounds the exact same. let them develop

Agree but I dont think it's just the top two he wants to improve. Last year proved that sometimes you need to be able to win some games with #3 or #4.

I got your return team:

VP, Hurd, TKJ, Berry 1, Berry 2, Lane, North, AJ, Croom, Sutton, JRM.

With all that speed, it's goin to the house haha

And reading this I got that Molly Hatchet song "Flirtin' with
Disaster" running thru my head.

Great move by Jones- We have a bulldozer and his name is HURD

AJ would clown Hurd ATM
