"ZEBRAS IN THE HOUSE: As always during camp, Fisher brought in referees during practice to help explain rules and various calls to aid players in avoiding common mistakes throughout the season. The Referees were present during both the morning and afternoon sessions on Thursday. “What we encourage is the interaction,” Fisher said. “I ask for them (the officials) to throw the flags and just to explain what they are seeing and why. I noticed really good interaction -- defensive backs asking about the hand placement and checks, what’s holding and what’s not.” FAN NOISE: During the morning, fans attending practice helped to simulate a game atmosphere by making noise during a series plays near the end zone. Fisher had players on the bench start the noise, then fans chimed in to raise the decibel level. “We actually had a false start,” Fisher said. “You have to concentrate and sometimes you have to go to a silent count. I started with all the rookies back there because they are typically the ones you can make yell. Then the fans got involved and that was good work.”"

is that the norm for most teams? cause that sounds like its something we could use

8/11/2006 9:12:26 PM

but its a shitty tape that doesnt even sound like a crowd it just sounds like really loud static

damn i said during the draft that the panthers shoulda picked him in the third round instead of James Anderson from VT

Anderson is reportedly doing well but of course I'd rather have at least one NC State player on my favorite NFL team

We've got nigs from 6 other ACC teams, hopefully we can draft somebody from here in the next few years

"CLARKSVILLE, TN, Aug. 3, 2006 -- When the Tennessee Titans selected Stephen Tulloch in the fourth round of the 2006 NFL Draft, they knew they were adding long-term depth at the middle linebacker position and likely an immediate contributor on special teams. Yet, when Tulloch strapped on the pads during training camp, it became apparent that he had the athletic ability and football savvy to vie for significant playing time as a rookie. Tulloch joins a talented and experienced group, including outside linebackers Keith Bulluck and David Thornton. Peter Sirmon, who was switched to middle linebacker during the off-season, is currently slated as the starter, but Tulloch is unwilling to concede the job without a fight. “I'm competing for a starting spot right now,” Tulloch said Thursday. “Coaches said just keep doing what I'm doing. As time goes on, hopefully I can separate myself, but for now we're just competing.” Tulloch was familiar with competition during his collegiate days at North Carolina State. Last season, he was one of many talented defenders for the Wolfpack that ended up landing in the 2006 NFL Draft. In fact, three members of the N.C. State defensive line were selected in the first round, including Mario Williams, the first overall pick who went to the Houston Texans. During his college career, Tulloch compiled impressive numbers. In 2005, he tallied 150 tackles, 21 tackles for loss, six sacks, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. Yet, given the talent surrounding him, Tulloch’s ability was often overshadowed. He is starting at ground zero in the NFL, forced to prove himself once again, but so far he has emerged as a legitimate option at linebacker, already earning the respect of his new teammates. “I think he's progressing well,” said Bulluck. “He's into it. He has very good reads for a young guy. As a middle linebacker you have to be instinctive. He seems to do that naturally. N.C. State had a terrific defense last year and I hope he brings some of those qualities to this team.” Besides impressing Bulluck, Tulloch has also caught the eyes of his coaches. Dave McGinnis, who coaches the team’s linebackers, is confident that Tulloch has the makeup to become a productive player in the NFL. “He's progressing well,” McGinnis said. “The thing that I like about Stephen is that he's very instinctive, he's very quick. He's got a good feel for behind the line of scrimmage, how to read blocking schemes, and how to get to the football.” Perhaps what has impressed both coaches and fans the most is Tulloch’s hard hitting ability. “Stephen Tulloch knows how to use his pads,” head coach Jeff Fisher said. “That’s becoming more and more evident each day.” Tulloch credits his intangibles and intense work ethic as the major factors behind his tackling prowess. “I bring my instincts,” Tulloch said. “I can read a play very fast and get downhill very fast. I'm a hard worker. I never stop working and finish everything I do. I love hitting, that's my game. I use my leverage to my advantage.” While the coaching staff is pleased with what they’ve seen out of Tulloch so far, his maturation into a standout NFL linebacker is just beginning. “I'm going to keep pressing him very hard,” McGinnis said. “I'm only trying to make him better. He's a guy that really wants to be good. This guy's got natural instincts. Now, he's got to learn how to become a National Football League linebacker, and that's an ongoing process "
