It was nice and cool where we were!

Impressed with TJohnson on D and JWilson on O. This Mean Green team may deeper than u think despite loss of 22 seniors #gmg

I had high hopes for Dajon when he originally committed here, but I still stand by my statement that I doubt he ever sees the field as a starter. I don't know him personally or have any inside sources, but on the outside looking in, he seems to lack maturity and focus. Hate to see him waste his talent.

no news on the injury front is good news... so that is nice

MGB: Updated, video should be up later

Yeah, it seems a lot like the Berglund situation last year. One year they're impressing the heck out of everyone: Berglund winning scout team POTY, Williams pushing DT as a true freshman and Coach Mac saying he will not redshirt. The next year neither are able to take over the job because of various issues, not related to talent.

If Kevin Sumlin was our coach, Brock and Dajon likely would've been our qb. Alternatively, if Coach Mac would've been at A&M Johnny Manziel likely would've never played. Just two different philosophies.

Like TFLF said, Coach Mac and crew are not handing over starting positions, period. Not just play a kid because he's talented. And they won us 9 games last year, which is a lot more than this school traditionally wins. So we darn sure better be grateful. He has more than earned that.

I just hope the coaches open up this offense a little. That's when DT was at his best. Being too bland got us behind in games, like getting shut out the first half at Tulane or getting out scored 21-13 at home against UTSA. We have a plethora of playmakers. And Mcnulty and Greer are no slouches either. Plus the line we have, this offense could be explosive.

Would like to see situations where we can get both Scott & Wallace on the field at the same time. Both very talented

Hes only a freshman. Has 4 years to play.

Is dw expecting? Don't know if this had anything to do with the off-season workouts or if I'm reading too much into it. I could see how this would be a distraction though.

Yes... DW is expecting a girl.

Thanks! Things make more sense now.

This may be a blessing to DW. Nevertheless, condoms. Use them.

To hit on what Billy was saying, we do have a solid group of playmakers. QB has to get the ball into the hands of these guys and just let them work.

Are the TV stealing dudes back on the team?

It sure sounds like it.

I really love hearing great news on names we don't much talk about.

Also, TJ-squared in the D-line.

Yes.

Interview with Jimmerson and James Jones after the practice. I found it kind of interesting that Jalen Montgomery was playing inside linebacker in one of the drills.

This post has been promoted to an article

Yes.

Good. I'm really glad they are on the team. Mean Green Family

I was glad to hear Wallace stepping up. Coach Mac likes to rotate players, especially on defense, so we could see a good rotation with him and Fred Scott. Seems there are lots of good linebackers on this team.

I think Mac and staff have done a great job at building depth. We have so many talented running backs, linebackers, DB's. The team speed should be phenomenal, but I'm worried about our D Line getting pushed around against heavier teams like Texas. I'm rooting most for Freddie Warner to have an injury free year, the kid deserves it. Also hope we can create enough opportunities to have a balanced attack offensively to get all our our playmakers involved.

First play of the game lets run a corner blitz by Lairamie Lee. That'll put Ash on his back and he'll think twice about trying anything fancy.
