Tenne see is currently rounding out day four on the practice field John Starks Jersey as the Vols continue to work towards their September 1st season-opener against Ball State. Yesterday, following day three of preseason camp, the Tenne see Football twitter account released a video of Josh Heupel Mic'd up. You can see the video in the tweet below.Below is everything Heupel had to say about his team after day one "It was great to get out on the field today. It ended up being a beautiful day. The weather held out, so it was great for us to get outside. We're really excited about being able to get out there. The challenge for us, as players and coaches, is don't make the same mistake twice and continue to grow. I love the energy and enthusiasm. On day one, that's really easy. We have to continue to have that type of focus and energy every single day. I believe this group has the ability to do that. Our practice habits are so much cleaner. Communication, efficiency and just moving around the practice field were all really good. I'm looking forward to watching it this afternoon with the guys and our staff." "Do not turn the ball over more than we did last year. Let's take care of the football in everything that we're doing. The ball matters. For Hendon, and I've said this to him, this year is not about stats, touchdownsinterceptions matteror yards. It's about wins, so managing all of those expectations and just focusing on doing your job at the highest level is the most important thing for him. We have to take care of the football. (Turnovers) happen for a lot of reasons. We can take care of the football in the pocket. Pa s protection is a part of that. Wide receivers winning on time. Wide receivers being where they're supposed to be is part of the interception game, and coming down with the ball when it's in their hands. There's a lot of things that factor into that. We want him to be decisive. We want him to take care of the football. When it's not there and the opportunity presents itself, we want him to use his feet to continue to move the ball for us." "I think we're deeper, with some of those transfers and the young guys inside of our program. With the people that we've brought into the program, I think we've added athleticism, speed and the ability to move and be in functional football positions. What our strength staff and nutrition staff has done Coach (Kurt) Schmidt and his strength and conditioning staff, and his nutrition staff, we've dramatically changed the bodies from when we first got here, but even as we finished last season. Last night, in our team meeting before we got out on the gra s today, the opportunity to showcase Myles Powell Jersey some of the dramatic improvements that our guys have made was a lot of fun. Certainly, with the skill spots, that's absolutely true. The jumps that and even have made in their body and how they can functionally play. Then, when you look at the line of scrimmage, you look at and what he looks like. I'm really proud of what the guys did since January 24 when they got back." "From the time that we recruited him, viewed him as a football player. That's how he views himself too. He doesn't really care what he's playing. As we got through spring ball, it just felt like him, his skillset, opportunity to compete and make an impact was probably on the other side of the football here the earliest. His attitude and want to are unquestioned by anybodyplayers in the locker room and our staff. We're excited to see him grow here during the course of training camp. It's his first time playing that position. A lot of things are happening. It's different, but he has been really diligent in the building. He spent a bunch of extra time this summer learning what we're doing schematically." "You talk about concu sions and repetitive hits, I think player safety is at the forefront now of what the NCAA is trying to do and what everybody is trying to do acro s the country. The NFL as well. We've been doing it here for a long time. We've been fortunate that Immanuel Quickley Jersey at the end of a training camp or at the end of the season, we always go back with our medical and strength and conditioning staff to look at the injuries. Concu sions are a major part of what we look at. How do we prevent, and how do we put them in a position to stay healthy in the immediate, but long term too? Our medical staff does a fantastic job. I wish I was smart enough to recall every stat on that. I can't, but there is a dramatic improvement in keeping kids healthy from the concu sion side from those caps." "Even in the middle part of last year, his focus and attention to detail, he understood that it needed to change. He started making those changes. Dramatically different from the time that we got back in January. We talked earlier about guys who have changed their bodies. He has added a ton of size, strength and maturity to his frame. I think that's gained a lot of confidence for him and how he plays with a physical presence. That can be in Wayne Ellington Jersey 1-on-1 matchups. It can be blocking on the perimeter. It can be the way he presents himself and finishes plays when he has the ball in his hands, too. All of those factors give him the ability to have a big year for us this year." "Not right now. The running backs that we have on campus and the guys that have been spending time, we want to develop them here through training camp and give them the opportunity to showcase that they're going to play at a really high level and earn trust from our coaching staff and from the players around them in pa s protection, and when the ball is in their hands. Today, on day one, without watching the film, I thought the two young running backsJustin (Williams-Thomas) and Dylan (Sampson)had a really good day. There are some things that they did that popped out to me as a coach. Some of that was with the ball in their hands, and some of it was without it." "(Squirrel) is not slow, that's for sure. Squirrel is competitive, really smart and mature in the way that he handles himself in the building, in the meeting room and physically taking care of his body. His ability for the game not to be moving too fastreally almost from day onein the way that he has handled Reggie Bullock Jersey what we do offensively. He needs to have a great camp for us and I believe that he will. He is truly fearle s. He's not the biggest guy, but he is fearle s. He is going to stick his face in any physical situation that he needs to. Bru is big, strong and long out on the perimeter. He's learning how to play in our offensive system and how to play from the whistle of the previous snap to the snap of the next one. For him, I think he has gained a much better understanding of that throughout the course of the summer. The first couple of weeks of June are so dramatically different than by the time we got to July with him. He is a guy who has played college football and competed at a high level. T
