While I appreciate the different team boards, I sometimes don't have the time to visit all of them to get an idea of what's going on in the practices around the league. Maybe folks could post brief comments and news bits about their respective teams' camps in one thread so that there'd be less need to surf and search? Just a thought.

Everyone looks great. I love the effort. The team is happy to be back in action. There is a lot of good competition for some key spots.
That should just about cover it for every team.

Get better everyday. Do what we do. Happy with the effort and energy level. Tickled (this one only applies to Gus).

Trying to grow everyday and learn from mistakes. Taking it one day at a time and just trying to get better every day. Great effort.

Buying into the process. Great work ethic. One day at a time.

One Team, One Dream. Facing the Giants and Finishing the Drill. Hunkering Down One More Time.

Need to tighten up some areas. Great effort in the morning. Young guys are catching on quick. Team looks to gel nicely. Top notch chemistry. Time to go to work.

"Backups look fantastic. I can't explain why the roster looks the way it does. I must be blind to the fact that our starting qb is incompetent and our backup is a Heisman candidate. Starting running back is a stud and every time he fails to run into the endzone it's the offensive line's fault. If we could get more suggestions from the message boards on our defensive game plan, we might shut everyone out this season."

We're not ready to play a game yet but the men are working really hard out here and have really bought into what we're trying to accomplish. I'm looking forward to the rest of camp.

Our men have a want to compete.

Had a great summer in the weight room. I'm seeing some incredible asses. The guys are hungry. The effort has been phenomenal. We're not where we want to be yet. We're getting better one day at a time.

Players must submit to the process. We aren't where we want to be but we will be improved this year. Leadership and buy-in has improved by leaps and bounds from last year.

Team 118 hit the practice field just after 7 Friday night on Haslam Field.
Tennessee head coach Butch Jones made it clear on Thursday that he was looking for tempo and retention on day one.
From an observer standpoint, it's hard to think the head coach wasn't pleased as the Vols moved quickly from station to station including jumping into special teams with extra points and punts. Matt Darr boomed some early punts, but he also heard from coaches regarding his get-off time, which was just barely above 2.0 seconds a couple of instances.
One interesting note is that with Michael Palardy gone, Tennessee split up special teams with one side of the practice field working on punts and the other on field goals as the roles are expected to be split up this season.
But this day was about seeing a bigger, faster and stronger Volunteers' football team. The Vols definitely looked the part in that regard. Not merely the newcomers, either. For the first time in at least two years, Curt Maggitt roamed the practice field without a brace on either knee. Corey Vereen also looked more physical, but he did wear a knee brace on his right knee.
Some members of the Tennessee defense as it took to the field:
DE: Corey Vereen
DT: Jordan Williams
DT: Danny O'Brien
DE: Curt Maggitt
LB: AJ Johnson
LB: Jalen Reeves-Maybin
NB: Justin Coleman
CB: Emmanuel Moseley
CB: Cam Sutton
S: Brian Randolph
S: Devaun Swafford
Allan Carson was the only player in the 'Black Hole' doing only conditioning and not a full participant in practice.
Among second-team notables were defensive end Dewayne Hendrix, who certainly grabbed the attention of his coaches, and linebacker Dillon Bates.
Offensively, Justin Worley and Joshua Dobbs were clearly at the forefront of the Vols' quarterback derby with Worley earning the stripes early.
Marlin Lane was the early tailback while receivers were Marquez North, Von Pearson and Josh Malone. The offensive line, early, was from left to right: Jacob Gilliam, Marcus Jackson, Mack Crowder, Kyler Kerbyson and Coleman Thomas. Brendan Downs, Ethan Wolf and Daniel Helm all got early work at tight end.
On a visitor note, Hunter Dale was in town from New Orleans to check out the Vols

Write it down: Von Pearson is the best receiver on the team. And he knows it. Very confident
Marquez North is a physical specimen, which he demonstrated by nearly flipping a blocking sled in a running drill. He makes difficult catches look routine and at this point, I’m not sure if any ball can be thrown out of his reach. He ran down multiple deep balls that looked like they would be overthrown.
