GMG24

Mark, I was looking for you at the scrimmage so we could chat.

So, it IS possible for little ole NT to play with the big boys

The uniform itself may not sell the kid on the university, but it can sure help when they get to try on 4-6 styles, takes pictures in them and have a great experience.

Well he was removed from the box, splitting the difference between the inside receiver and the OT after checking his run read, the slot crossed his face and he turned and ran them down and tackled him for a 2 yard gain after running over 1/2 the field, he still needs to work on getting off run blocks, but he will be a high level player this year. He was playing against D1 talent for the first time early last season, and even admitted he got better and more comfortable as the year went on.

Which won't be to much of a shock if you followed Marquette before he left they were always littered with jucos

Love to land him and Ty'rick Bennett

Yall can think what you want but, kids love tweeting pictures in crazy uniforms, in the stadiums etc, these kids probably saw these uniforms as "Ice" it matters not what us has beena likes, it's what these kids like and if that's uniforms and helmet designs, may cost 40-60 k it's WORTH every penny

I also missed him, both he and Dakotah Smith I think.... We're working with 2s Courtney looked good, but Judge Fred is on another level

So was Rodney Bendy and Jordan Murray holy crap does Murray look like a giant!!

I can promise I missed several stand out performances as I tried watching t much instead of keying in. I listed him under Rover/OLB in the 4-2-5 he wouldbe the 5th DB who replaces SED Ellis who is in on obvious running situations, and fernandes goes in in obvious passing downs, he also played some safety today as well.

That's explains why I saw Moore kick every field goal and PAT

Here is my report. QBs 1. Mcnulty, only because he doesn't turn the ball over (against our D) his arm strength is honestly pathetic. He under threw two wide open post patterns, the only other throws he made were now routes (1-2 yards) and quick outs 2. Dajon has the better arm strength, footwork and speed, his pocket presence must become better, he holds the ball to long, but when he rips it his arm is unmatched. He threw several deep outs with zip on the money, and one was from left has to a 5 yard out on the far sideline great ball, perfect spot, and 1 1/2 steps in front of DB 3. Means has the size, arm strength, and pocket presence to be our QB of the future IMO. The dude can run. He still has things to work on, quicker reads, leaving his first receiver quicker and making it through his progression. 4. Whoever else. RBs 1. Jimmy show, ready for him to take the load 1a. Jeffrey Wilson looked awesome today 2. Erick Evans, holy balls batman that cat has some wheels or as we in the coaching world say, the "Juice" 3 Rex Rollins once healthy he was working out on the side today, really getting after it. WRs 1. Carlos is going to give you what he did last year 2. Goree is a more athletic carlos who can do it all. I am beyond excited to watch him work for the next 4 years, if we can just get someone to get him the ball!!! 3. Turner Smiley he and Darvin are one in the same, an athletic option, waiting to be overthrown by the Carthage boys 4. Darvin Kidsy #4 on the list # 4 on the roster, probably going to be the punt returner 4a. O'Keeron Rutherford once he learns how to use his body, and continues to get stronger he is going to be a huge get for us. OL LT Michael Banogu LG Sam Rice C Kayden Kirby went down with a sprained ankle got rolled up pretty bad C Creighton Barr did a pretty good job filling in RG Micah Thompson RT Chris Miles get excited people this kid can play! Defense I'll be honest when watching the defense ( I focused on secondary however this is what I got) we ran a 4-2-5 all day no odd fronts today DEs 1. Andy Fluesche 2. Jarrian Roberts 2a. Malik Dilonga 3. Tillman Johnson ( was hurt ) on crutches and in a brace he was walking and putting some weight on it but not much went through a pretty intense upper body workout with Rex DT 3 technique 1. Austin Orr 1a. Sid Moore (only because he doesn't have Orrs natural size everything else about him is 1 DT 1 technique 1. Haboul by a long shot 2. Sir Calvin ILB 1. Judge Fred again this one ain't even close dude was making plays sideline to sideline, flashed some (hold your breath) Zach Orr running down receivers in crossing routes. I actually started giggling when he did that, can't remember if it was Smiley or Kidsy 2. Anthony Wallace got the nod today but Bean was out there plenty. Good to see Wallace competing in there. 2a. Blake Bean Rover/OLB 1. SED Ellis in running situations 2. Cedric Fernandes HOLY CRAP this dude stole the day for me... He was everywhere played multiple positions in coverage came up with a pick, several good tackles, funnels Safeties 1. McClain 2. Gray both started w 1s I can't remember which one rolled down I'm pretty sure it was McClain Corners 1. Kenny Buyers even though he got beat several times by each Carthage boy (qbs couldn't get it to him) 2. Chad Davis 3. Jamaal Marshal still getting comfortable out there, he should be number 1 by the fall he has all the tools and he looks very comfortable out there. Offensive Takeaways We will look VERY bland next year but tempo was much faster today, gave the OL some problems bc they couldn't get to the line fast enough. We ran about 8 plays that I tracked 1. Stretch 2. Toss/option/ wtf was that play out of shotgun 3. I call it Fast where receiver takes 1 step and balls on em. 4. Switch route (slant by outside, speed out inside) 5. Play action 6. Play action 7. Play action 8. Old school Power Defense Kids seem to be flying around, several mix ups in secondary that allowed big play TDs, but I was pleased with the speed we have on the field. I am still frustrated our corners played 7-8 yards off all but maybe 10 plays. I will say we triggered MUCH faster than last year and came up and tackled. Several stunts and twists that got Dlineman on the QB NOW. #14 Cedric Fernandes holy cow this kid can play, he was bouncing around, flying to the ball, playing the ball in the air, he was the most impressive player on the field to me today. Overall, we got a lot of work to do if we are going to "Hit 6" and become bowl eligible. I got to stand by Vito and Don Lovelace today it was interesting and fun to hear there perspectives.

Park by the dickey practice fields only gate open is the one right next to athletic complex. Just walked from fouts all around to find the 1 entrance after some walking.. Pretty fun out here

Where should we park??

90 you should feel famous. You're own thread!!!

If theyre calling it 3-4 even they're likely referring to the field being split right down the middle being even on both sides. Only time in 7 years of coaching, clinics, and camps, I've ever heard a 3-4 be refered to as even. Like you said coaches do have their own language but as far as a front go it is strictly based on number of down lineman.

Yep

^^^^^ WHAT HE SAID It is not up for debate, that is what it means

I love that Smastrek has come out and said Abbott is speaking and how excited the university is for him to speak.

Saban doesn't count. lol That guy could simply send an offer and field one of the best teams in America

4

Yes!! I hope we can hold onto him long enough to offer him a shot at being an HC. I think he is an innovator.

Seeing as how the kids coming to play for this guy are 100% more likely to be on twitter and social media rather than watching the news I would say its going to work.
