have to earn that starting spot when they come back.��� Rouse is focusing this spring on his hip flexibility and making his hands ���outrageous.��� Early opportunity Tom Campbell Receivers coach Kevin Sherman, and the rest of his colleagues, were demanding and intense throughout the first week-and-a-half of practices. Sherman, here with Charles Torwudzo, has work to do with the receiving corps, only a handful of whom have gotten snaps in games. that���s always going to be there. I���m always going to work hard in the weight room, but when it transfers out here, it feels good.��� Staying solid With injuries eliminating the top three defensive tackles in spring, redshirt sophomore Michael Rouse has moved into working with the first unit in the middle. Rouse has been in a similar position before, saying that was the case last spring as well as during the tail end of the regular season last year when Kawann Short and Brandon Taylor were injured. But that extra work in practice didn���t translate into many reps in games, though Rouse was credited for playing in nine last year. He doesn���t want that to be the case in 2013. ���I���m not going to let it slip out of my hands this time,��� Rouse said of the opportunity. ���I���m going to really make them As expected with two open starting spots on the offensive line and five redshirt freshmen O-linemen, the youngsters are getting a chance early to make an impression. Jason King and Jordan Roos worked with the No. 1 group at the guard spots during parts of the first five practices, and J.J. Prince appears to be the third tackle option after filling in with the top group when Kevin Pamphile and Justin Kitchens have class conflicts. Roos is eager for the opportunity to start, but he���s also not trying to read too much into what���s happened early in spring ball. ���We���re rotating in people at guard to see what everybody has,��� he said. ���I���ve been given a chance the past two days to rotate in the 1s. It���s nice being in there, but we���ve only had four practices. It���s a long road.��� On the first day of camp, Cody Davis was working at a guard spot opposite King. But, more recently, Davis has been getting work as the backup center behind starter Robert Kugler. King, though, also has done some snapping. King said it���s been a bit of a challenge early to get so many reps in practice after having a more limited role while redshirting last season. ���But with this coaching staff, they���re brilliant and we can tell that,��� King said. ���They are always available, and we have a good group of senior leaders, so we can meet with them.��� 576 tackles, nine interceptions and 10 forced fumbles. ���He makes his presence known,���Titans free safety Michael Griffin told The Tennessean. ���Now we have a guy who at any given moment can excite the crowd. And it makes the tight ends and receivers think twice about coming in certain areas, and even running backs. Everyone knows what he is about. When the ball carrier gets to the second level, it can mess with your mindset. He���s a great addition. The guy is a big hitter for sure.��� Pollard moving on After being one of the most important players on the Baltimore Ravens��� Super Bowl winning defense, Bernard Pollard was released. But he found a new home quickly. Pollard signed a one-year contract with the Tennessee Titans on March 21.
