That would be correct

I would hope so. While the air raid is about getting the ball to players in space, a lot of that is pushing the field vertically as well. Which, IMO, we did not do enough of last year.

Are we his only offer? Scout has him listed at 6'3" 315 lbs. Good size!

It's absolutely about recruits though. Reason Mac and Littrell are vastly different is Mac clearly couldn't out coach his shitty recruiting, whereas I believe Littrell will coach up his and Mac's recruits. I will be a lot more concerned with Littrell if he's going 6-6 or worse in his 3rd or 4th seasons

I think the Center position is Barr's to lose, but I would not be surprised to see Mose in the 2-deep at guard, if not starting outright

http://www.espn.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/129505/ohio-state-is-no-1-in-preseason-fpi-1-0 Perception is everything I think we're way better than 125 but it goes to show what the national media thinks. Hopefully Littrell uses this as bulletin board material

He intrigues me at the rover spot. Get him up to about 210 and you got a guy that is fluid enough to cover the seams but big enough to support the run

So glad football is back! Hoping to get some more great segments from @BeyondTheGreen during the upcoming practices!

Absolutely. Especially at his size. I just saw him listed as DE/LB on the official roster. Won't be surprised to see him play in a similar role to Combs last year. Big enough to play DE but athletic enough to cover the flats

FTFY. Also, you bring up a good point. There are currently 10 LB's(11 if you count Hambone) on the roster, not counting Fulp. That effectively gives you a 3 man rotation at every LB spot. Also noticing a few DB's with some good size on the roster. This defense is gonna be fun to watch. Guys are gonna fly to the ball from any and every direction

Updated Roster for Spring: http://www.meangreensports.com/sports/m-footbl/mtt/ntex-m-footbl-mtt.html Curious to see a lot of our linebackers sitting around the 220-230 mark. Looks like they're pushing speed over size. Really hoping they put Kelvin Smith more at the H-back running routes out of the backfield. I think it'll happen more as the O-line gels together and we don't need to max protect as much with the H-back Also really interested to see the QB and Slot(A Receiver) battles play out. To me, the slot might be the most important receiver in this offense. We need a Wes Welker/Trent Taylor type that can consistently pick up 7-8 yards a catch and get those first downs in crucial spots

Seems a bit strange striking this deal with spring ball on Monday and no O-line/D-line coach to speak of. Officially at least

Looks like coach Koonz, or whomever is in charge of Louisiana is hitting it hard lately. Good to see

Maybe he means H-Back? Maki had no value in the passing game outside of blocking Smith could block and provide another weapon out of the backfield

His Bio from ECU: http://ecupirates.com/coaches.aspx?rc=481&path=football

I think he's referring to scholarship players. There's a max of 85, and I believe we're closer to the 75 mark

For those that wanted to know http://www.meangreensports.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/021617aaa.html

I'm just saying from a philosophy stand point, if you want to run a 3-3-5 with a lot stunts on the DLine, would it not make the most sense to hire a guy who has experience teaching this system? Especially when that system was run very efficiently(at ULM)?

Why? He has similar credentials? Top FCS O-line, high school, OC, HC experience. Makes a lot of sense

Now that Reffett is the sole DC I said Everett Todd, his old DL coach at ULM http://www.gsutigers.com/coaches.aspx?rc=318&path=football

Depends on depth. Should be better than last year, but I don't think the roster is at full strength yet. I would call it a 50/50 chance

Reffett and Ekeler

LAY OFF MCNULTY GUYS. ANY CRITICISM OF THE RED ROCKET WILL BE MET WITH SWIFT PUNISHMENT
