Vols Fall Practice #10

[1Big_Orange_Fan]

Two things:
1) It feels like we may have the best LB group in years. I can't really remember when we've had better than solid starters and backups.
2) Does it seem like to anyone else that Mays always has some nagging injury? Too bad for him because he's really good and we need him out there.

He was solid all last season.

If any starters get injured this late in fall camp with 2 basically
scrimages to start the season, shame on the coaches.

I'm reserving judgement until I hear what 'minor' is ...OFFICIALLY. I face a bit of a conundrum....
...I respect and support Heupel's vagueness and need to adhere to HIPAA restrictions as a coach. :^))))
...As a fan, it makes me a little bit antsy and disquieted. Okay ... a lot, not a little .... :^))))

So are they not supposed to practice? Just let them sit out and not practice until we start playing? Yeah that’s brilliant

 

[VOLumeS]

Sounds like a TON of injuries.

Only two didn’t practice. If they aren’t out and are still wearing full pads I don’t really consider than an injury. If they are dressed out there’s nothing to worry about

 

[SN-A-C Orange]

Fify. My take is, this is the first coach we have had that is extremely proactive on managing the bumps, bruises and dings of athletes.
Those who played without helmets ...think the boys are getting coddled. :^)))))

It's called load management.

It would be devastating if it happened, but the players have to get game ready. They can't be wrapped in bubble wrap during practice and expect to be able to handle it when the team with the other color comes head hunting.

Beasley is gona ball out, and Carter just might be that next spark for an elite lb group, and just a freshman, future is bright

"Tim Banks and Jaylan McCollough were also encouraging the safeties on the day, saying to not cut any corners and push through as it is the 10th day of practice and fall camp is beginning to feel pretty redundant about now."

Probably because Martinez was busy being a terrible coach.

Thanks Fingers

 

[volinexile17]

McCollough a future coach. Book it.

Do you know which position group he coaches?

You know you can blow out a knee running. Would that be the coaches fault too?

Martinez doesn't coach safeties, Banks does.

Don’t let your facts get in the way of his griping, sir.

Sorry but this is just dumb. Dude we are three weeks from the start of the season. They HAVE to go full speed to simulate an actual game. You can't jog your way through camp and expect to be ready for the speed of a game. Injuries happen. Joe Burrow got a calf strain on a roll out completely untouched. As to the injuries in camp, as others have pointed out, camp is a grind and it is important to make sure players have rest and anyone with even slight muscle pain get rest to avoid real injuries. I think as we get closer to the start of the season you will see some of these players like Walker and Macdonald getting back. This is the way NFL teams run their training camps.

The AJ years we had decent LB. These prob have more upside though

From Heup yesterday:

We are smart with our veterans on the offensive and defensive side of the ball. You have to sharpen their sword a little bit and make sure they are ready to play, but at the same time, you have got to get their condition set.”

Practices in double digits...days to play in the teens...it's getting close !!!
