Vols Football Fall Practice

[bigboydan]

Some things I've heard from various sources about the Vols football practice so far...

Fulmer's setting a tone of looking forward as opposed to backwards. Well, duh. We had a horrible season last year & 2 arrests within the last week.

receivers coach trooper taylor says no green jerseys and he wants to play no more than 5 wide receivers this season.

safety justin garrett won't be eligible for this fall's football season. he's from pasadena city college and didn't meet the academic requirements.

true freshman quarterback nick stephens looked pretty good.

fulmer weight loss: CPF has lost about 40-50 pounds.

going on scholarship are tailback david yancey, defensive tackle matt mcGlothlin, safety ben greene and offensive lineman michael frogg.

Dan,

I feel like Fulmer spills out the same garbage every year about "looking forward as opposed to backwards". Fulmer treats the media like they are 2 yr olds. Sometimes, that's justified; other times not.

I think if they struggle early again this year (ie, pre-Florida), then it'll be the same ol' same ol' in Knoxville this year. I think they'll be good but the pre-Florida games should tell the story.

I like that Cutcliffe has returned, and he supposedly is mandating the no green jerseys thing. This will be make them much more prepared for Cal, and is a fantastic idea, IMO.

Agreed. Cutcliffe is a stabilizer to what has been a volatile coaching staff since he left. That's why I think the early games will tell the story for the Vols. If Cutcliffe has the same stroke he used to, this is a great sign for the Vols.

i agree guys... I think Cutcliffe should shine with the talent he has this year in knoxville.
