A look at every Tennessee quarterback to win in Tuscaloosa against Alabama all time.

Tennessee and Alabama kicked off its football series on Nov. 28, 1901, playing to a 6-6 tie.

The contest was played on Thanksgiving day at West End Park in Birmingham, Alabama.

The reason for the game being tied was due to an offsides penalty against Alabama within the first ten minutes of the second half.

The penalty occurred ten yards from the goal line. Alabama players contested the penalty and that is when two things occurred that ended the game early. First, spectators came onto the playing field and circled both teams, preventing any further play. Secondly, as the protest continued, darkness came which did not allow for the two teams to finish the contest with daylight gone.

Nelson Agholor and Tee Martin reconnect in the AFC North with Ravens

Tee Martin was Agholor’s WR coach at #USC. The band is back together in Baltimore, and Andrew Vorhees is along for the ride.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Nelson Agholor and wide receiver coach Tee Martin are reunited this season. The former Trojans will try to bring a Super Bowl to their new city.

Joining the Ravens allows Agholor to reconnect with Ravens quarterback coach Tee Martin, who was Agholor’s wide receiver coach at USC.

Agholor was primarily a running back in high school at Berkeley Prep HS in Tampa (FL) rushing for 1,983 yards and 28 touchdowns as a senior while averaging 9.5 yards per carry.

Tee Martin helped Agholor make a smooth transition from running back to wide receiver with the Trojans and he won a starting job as a freshman at USC.

Baltimore agreed to a one year deal with the former Trojan in March paying him a base of $3.25 million with incentives that make it worth up to $6.25 million.

The eight-year veteran has compiled 4,246 yards on 340 catches with 31 touchdowns throughout five seasons with the Philadelphia Eagles, one with the Las Vegas Raiders and two with the New England Patriots.

Ravens QB coach Tee Martin shares thoughts on taking over new role

Ravens quarterbacks coach Tee Martin discussed taking over a new role

[anyclip pubname=”2103″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8036″]

The Baltimore Ravens first hired Tee Martin to be their wide receivers coach before the 2021 season.  As a former quarterback, not being able to work with the quarterbacks must’ve been odd for Martin, but not unnatural as he was the wide receivers coach for multiple college programs before he was hired by the Ravens.

The Ravens made a lot of changes to their coaching staff during the 2023 offseason, one of which was re-assigning Martin’s role. He is now the quarterbacks coach of the team, and he was asked what the switch has been like and what type of impact he wants to have on the room.

“First of all, it’s just great being back at my natural position. [It’s] a position I grew up playing throughout my career. I started [in coaching] coaching quarterbacks, so it’s like riding a bike. [I’m] just getting back on it, and the game has changed. You’re coaching a quarterback [Lamar Jackson] who’s different than a lot of different other quarterbacks. [It’s] very similar to how I played, but way better. The drills have been enhanced. The things that we’re doing with coach [offensive coordinator Todd] Monken’s system is a little different than what we have done here in the past, and so we just adjust. Everything was built around Lamar [Jackson]. I went back and [changed] a lot of the things I had done with players I had worked with in the past at the quarterback position. He’s so different and so unique that I just went back and revamped all the drills towards Lamar [Jackson]’s movement skills and things that we can do to improve him and continue what he has already built since he’s been here as a rookie – since his rookie year – to getting him to the next level, to the player he wants to be. That’s what it’s all about, improving his already great skill set.”

Colts request interview with Tee Martin for OC vacancy

The Colts requested an interview with Tee Martin for their offensive coordinator vacancy.

The Indianapolis Colts requested an interview with Baltimore Ravens wide receivers coach Tee Martin for their offensive coordinator vacancy, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN on Thursday.

Martin is the second known candidate to receive an interview request for the offensive coordinator role under new head coach Shane Steichen. The first came in the form of Jacksonville Jaguars pass-game coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.

Martin, 44, was a fifth-round pick out of Tennessee in the 2000 NFL draft by the Pittsburgh Steelers. He spent five years bouncing around the NFL, CFL and NFL Europe league before getting into coaching.

He started coaching at Morehouse in 2006 then spent two seasons coaching at the high school level before getting a gig at the collegiate level with New Mexico in 2009. He spent the next 11 years in the college ranks most notably holding roles as the offensive coordinator for USC (2016-2018) and assistant head coach at Tennessee (2019-2020).

Martin made his jump to the NFL in 2021 as the wide receivers coach for the Ravens in Greg Roman’s offense.

Steichen is putting together his staff soon and there are likely going to be more interviews on the way.

Ravens WR coach Tee Martin believes WR James Proche II is taking the next step

Ravens wide receiver coach Tee Martin talked about how wide receiver James Proche II is taking the next step

The Baltimore Ravens traded away wide receiver Marquise Brown during the 2022 NFL draft, which came as a shock to many different people. They also have chosen not to replace him on the roster through the draft or through free agency so far, which also caught a lot of people off guard.

Baltimore will be relying on a multitude of young talent at the position in 2022, including James Proche II. Wide receivers coach Tee Martin was asked about Proche after a training camp practice, and praised the third-year player for taking the next step.

“He’s doing excellent. He had a really good camp last season, and I think he’s doing even better this year, because he’s taken the next step – another year of experience. He played a little bit more in games last year, and he understands the opportunity in front of him. So, he’s attacking it every day. He’s asking a lot of great questions, he’s playing three positions for us and playing lights out. So, I look forward to seeing him play next week, as well.”

“He’s doing excellent. He had a really good camp last season, and I think he’s doing even better this year, because he’s taken the next step – another year of experience.

He’s asking a lot of great questions, he’s playing three positions for us and playing lights out. So, I look forward to seeing him play next week, as well.”

Proche is one of the many homegrown receivers that has the potential to play a massive role in the Baltimore offense in 2022. He has shown many different flashes throughout his first two years as a professional, and should have plenty of opportunities to deliver this season.

Ravens WR coach Tee Martin discusses leadership from young wideouts on roster

Ravens wide receivers coach Tee Martin discussed the leadership from the young wideouts on the roster

The Baltimore Ravens will be relying on multiple young players at the wide receiver position during the 2022 season. The team traded away their former No. 1 wideout in Marquise Brown, so a host of second-year and third-year players will need to perform in much bigger roles than they’ve had at the NFL level so far.

After one of Baltimore’s mandatory minicamp practice, wide receivers coach Tee Martin was asked about if leadership is a challenge for a group that is so young. Martin said he’s never put an age on leadership, and once the play begins the young players naturally become leaders.

“I’ve never put an age on leadership. Leadership, for me, is just about guys doing the right things, regardless of your age or regardless of your experience. And you stated something that’s really a fact right now – we are a relatively young room. But once the guys start playing, and once they start looking at the guys who do it the right way, those guys naturally become the leaders of the room. And we don’t do a whole lot of talking; sometimes a veteran can come in and he can talk about the things he’s done, but we don’t have a whole lot of that going on, and so we’re just leading by what’s on film, right now.”

Second-year player Rashod Bateman is now the team’s No. 1 wideout, and he also has Devin Duvernay, James Proche II and Tylan Wallace alongside him as recent Baltimore draft picks that will have to be relied upon. While they don’t have as much NFL experience as a veteran of the league would, they will learn valuable lessons throughout the year and can use those to become leaders both on and off of the field.

Ravens WR coach Tee Martin discusses what WR James Proche II must do to stay on field in 2022

Ravens wide receivers coach Tee Martin discussed what wide receiver James Proche II needs to do to stay on the field in 2022

The Baltimore Ravens are going to be relying on multiple young wide receivers to step up after the trade of fellow wideout Marquise Brown to the Arizona Cardinals in exchange for draft capital that included a first-round pick. One of the pass catchers that could have a big role in 2022 is James Proche II, who has flashed plenty of potential.

After one of Baltimore’s mandatory minicamp practices, Baltimore wide receiver coach Tee Martin discussed what Proche needs to do in order to stay on the field more during the 2022 season. He talked about how he needs to continue to make the plays that come to him, relating the question back at what he did in certain spots last season.

“Just continue to make the plays that come to him. You look at last season; go back to the Denver game, he had some big grabs for us on third down; go back to Cincinnati, late in the season, [he had] some big grabs on third downs. And just when he’s out there on the field playing, just continue to make the plays and doing the things that we’re asking him to do within the offense.”

Proche has totaled 17 receptions for 216 yards over the course of his two years in the NFL. He hasn’t gotten many opportunities to shine, but has made plays when his number has been called. The former SMU star will to impress alongside his teammates such as Rashod Bateman, Devin Duvernay and Tylan Wallace, a group could shock some people this upcoming season.
