QB in summer workouts mentioned earlier post

OldTimer · July 15, 2005

I was told by an "insider" that he is a walkon QB...not identified. I would assume a Fr. but can't document tht.Does anyone know any further information?

Isn't it about time for someone to make a trip to the barber shop on Fry Street

I suspect the walkon many have talked about here is Matt Phillips from Lakeview HS. I'm trying to find out more. If it's not him then I would guess it's Wissle.

I'm getting a late re-report also now that Byerly will not be playing this fall. I had to correct my previous post on this. If it's true what a shame.

I have further information, and no, I didn't hear it from a former player down at the dog tracks. I work with an incoming freshman named Justin Feaster who is working out with the football team this summer. He played at Glen Rose and was 3A All State Honorable Mention. He is listed at 6'2" 201lbs, but isn't quite that tall. He is however pretty strong looking so he might be 200lbs.

Things of interest that Justin has told me: Byerly hasn't been working out with the team... Meager started throwing again a few weeks back... Cullen Mills is back working out with the team... Jonathan Ieans has worked out with the QBs... Patrick Cobbs likes golf... Confirmation that Diet Coke Boy is ineligible for the upcoming season and the coaches are scrambling to find a replacement... The players are happy about getting new turf...

On the Mean Green Report, a certain reporter always starts off by saying .. "I was up at the Barber shop ... " or "The guys at the Barber shop tell me that ... "

Funny times.

... Jonathan Ieans has worked out with the QBs...

Why??

Phillips is late scholarship recruit.

SilverEagle · July 15, 2005

Why??

My question as well. I can't believe that they would waste "rep" time with him this fall.

It's about time for a much needed MGR. Its been a while and with all the rumors flying around it would be nice to have the inside scoop on all the happenings.

SIMPLETON SIMON SAYS:

Shucks! All we need is somebody who can chunk that pigskin tater as far down the field as possible and just let the Mighty Quinn run underneath the darn thing, catch it, score and then show the crowd his Mr. Clean impersonation) Isn't that the very thing that what will keep the Emerald Express and Super JaMo from seeing 9 lined up on the opposing team's defenses this Fall?

Doesn't that just about size it up?

SIMPLETON SIMON SAYS: THAT'S ALL & I'M OUTTA' HERE.

Marty · July 15, 2005

Didn't you use that same tired line to thwart criticism of Richard Bridges? If a QB has shown absolutely nothing what's wrong with saying so and giving someone else who might just work a chance?

I can't recall ever defending Richard Bridges. Or saying anything about him whatsoever.

Not defending Ieans either... just noting some harsh talk.
