The Tigers started practice yesterday, and apparently Jacoby Ford still can't be touched. Isn't it wonderful how a guy who should be our #1 this year still can't practice in contact drills with the team?
-Alexander started practice at DE, and Sapp didnt go with the #1s on the first day. He is wearing a very large brace on his knee and doesnt quite appear to be 95%. Both are still expected to crosstrain at DE and OLB.
-Tajh Boyd is also wearing a large brace, and is spending extra time with Billy Napier to learn the offense, but don't expect him to avoid a RS. It is encouraging that he is trying so hard though.
-Parker is throwing bullets, and Korn's mechanics, while improved, still bring up questions.
-J.K. Jay hurt his back, possibly severely enough to get a medical RS, while lifting weights. It appears serious enough that he's benn held out of drills and if he does end up being RS'd we're going to be in really bad shape if Hairston or Walker go down.
I dont know about you but if we have the same damn problems as last year, these coaches are going to look really dumb.

I agree that we are in trouble if Hairston or Walker go down. If Walker goes down, then I think Lambert will move into his position; however, if Hairston goes down, then I think they are going to move McClain to LT, because he was originally recruited as a tackle, and I don't think Lambert is the answer at LT. Also, they seem to have a bunch of options at guard, so if McClain had to move, then they would still have some depth on the interior. This may sound pessimistic, but I am afraid that Jay is going to have to red-shirt, which is going to make us ultra-thin at tackle. It scares me, because this is the problem that could de-rail our season. The way I see it, someone is going to step up at WR, QB, S, and LB, because there are some options at those positions.
