    Scrimmage 8/12/21

    Quick note on Maurer. He is not at practice this morning, but it was just said that he is still technically a part of the team.

    Maurer missing from practice

    Exactly. The issue now is that he has to sit out until next season with the transfer rules. Again, this is why you take a Joe Milton if you’re Tennessee. Hendon Hooker is a graduate transfer and could do that again if he chose to after the season. Bailey could leave. Milton cannot leave again...

    Maurer missing from practice

    At times last fall, Tennessee was so thin because of COVID issues that he had to move to WR just for guys to get reps in. The last staff was considering the move if he didn’t win the job in the spring, obviously, this is before they were fired. I’ve heard mixed reviews about him being open to...

    Maurer missing from practice

    This has honestly been a long time coming. The previous staff would have likely moved him to receiver this off-season from some info I have gathered. As I mentioned to Butchna yesterday, Maurer learned over the weekend that he was not a factor in the race. It wasn’t a well-kept secret as I found...

    Really starting to get excited

    Don’t think he is a factor at this stage. Heard over the week that he was not expected to be a factor this week and so far that has held true

    Really starting to get excited

    This I agree with. His offense is setup to creat wrinkles to successful plays week over week. My thoughts on Josh Heupel are this. Folks would have been thrilled to have him as an OC last fall. But he’s the Head Coach now, and he clearly understands the importance of building his program the...

    Lot of mixed reports about QB1

    Thursday’s scrimmage is going to be important. Friday is also closed to the media. We get another look at them Saturday, so we should start to know something by the end of the week. Think the reps are already being cut a little bit from what I’ve heard.

    Calbert Injury

    Calbert was on the field today and working with the 2’s in the rotations during our viewing period. I remember trying to grab a photo of him and he kept having someone cross in front. Checked the video and he was there. Can confirm the injury, cannot confirm the extent. Was going for an MRI...

    Day 3 Practice Updates

    It’s still tough to tell. Today was day one in full pads. Think this team has the mindset and attitude to surprise some people. Talent is there in places but lack of depth is concern.

    Day 3 Practice Updates

    Definitely more depth there. Have been impressed with the OLB group. Think Ekeler summed it up today, they are explosive. Haven’t had much of a chance to see Mitchell and Banks. They are at the far end of the second field working turnover circuit early on. Jake did note both guys looked solid...

    Day 3 Practice Updates

    Couple of other notes. As players cycled through today, I was even more impressed with Byron Young. He looks like he has been chiseled out of a piece of granite. Physically, he reminds me of Azeez Ojulari. I saw him at a high school game last season before the SEC schedule started and just...

    Day 3 Practice Updates

    Bailey and Milton were the most consistent in QB drills. Bailey had one overthrow. Milton missed his first two that I saw. After that, both guys settled in.
