Say hello to Josh Greer

[KingDL1]

Wow is it weird I feel better now.

Wow is it weird I feel better now.

Nah, I'm right there with you. We have a prototypically-sized legit D-1 passer at NT -- and he's starting. It's exciting.

[tmjerm]

Has he always called Bartolotta "Bobby"?

[MeanGreenDadx2]

The McNulty conspiracy theorists can now sit down and find a new conspiracy to promote.

He calls him Poppy - not Bobby.

[Travis Scott]

so pumped. We have great depth on our roster. I love the way Mac and his staff have built our team. We are not rebuilding every season...rather, reloading.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[TheColonyEagle]

Nah, I'm right there with you. We have a prototypically-sized legit D-1 passer at NT -- and he's starting. It's exciting.

And this prototypically sized legit D-1 passer beat out a guy that has been in this offense and knows it backwards and forwards......something VERY important to Mac. This prototypically sized legit D-1 passer also beat out a guy that Mac was probably pulling for.

So that tells me we have a prototypically sized legit D-1 passer that knows the offense well enough to satisfy this staff and has the other "DT qualities" that Mac wants.

I am definitely excited about this news.

No question about it

[Mean Green 93-98]

Some surprises:

Matt Dash not on the 2-deep (they were making him out to be the likely starter a couple of weeks ago)

Pegram starting at RB over Jimmerson (I like the call, but still a little surprising)

Teegarden making the 2-deep (shouldn't be a surprise, but his name hasn't popped up much lately), no Chelf

[tylermeangreen]

Wow!

McCarney indicated that Zero Wallace (Sir Calvin) will be in the rotation as the 5th DT.

As a past Chapel Hill Bulldog fan, I have to say I am impressed. After watching his high school career I have to admit that I did not think it would come to be.

On the other hand, as a current Sulphur Springs Wildcat fan, I AM NOT surprised that Willy Ivery will play as a true freshman. The kid is something else!

Super excited. I wanted this kid to start from the day I heard he was coming to UNT.

[laxtonto]

I am just happy we have someone with the arm strength to make all the throws.. DT was DT and what he brought to the table overcame his ability to provide velocity on the deep outs and cross field looks. Having a QB that forces a DB to respect the whole field beyond the 15 yard box should hopefully loosen up the middle some for the RB's and TE's. Add to it someone that has the arm strength to air it out in stead of float it to the endzone does that much more for the vertical passing game.

DAMN THAT VIDEO FIRED ME UP!!!!

He calls him Poppy - not Bobby.

much obliged

If you have a pen and paper, you can write all of that down and put it in your wallet and, then, take it out and look at it during the game, in case you forget who is playing where.

I think it says the Greer kid is quarterback; but, it doesn't say they are moving Dajon to DB like Mack Brown or Bobby Stoops would be tempted to do to get his "athleticism" on the field, right? Without turning the ball over...with the "athleticism"...but, instead, creating turnovers...with the "athleticism."

Because, as we all know, there is only two type of football "athleticism": 40 yard dash speed (out of pads) and quarterbacks running the ball instead of throwing it.

Strength, agility, and intelligence mean nothing in football. They are big wastes of time, right? Like, we should just have Zach Paul play quarterback if we can just teach him to turn around and hand off the ball.

Brock Berglund.

DAMN THAT VIDEO FIRED ME UP!!!!

My preseason excitement meter went from an 11 to a 15. That's on a scale of 1-10 by the way.

[TIgreen01]

Couple questions...what happened to Q. Brown? Also, Freddie Warner?

That starting core of WRs is really small. Hope we get a monster year out of Marcus Smith.

[pastorgrant]

Q Brown is injured

[NorthTexan95]

No mention of Erick Evans who tore things up in spring ball. Maybe he's just wasn't mentioned ... maybe he's dealing with injuries ... maybe the other guys are just better.

Good points -

Let me add a few...

Sid Moore listed as #1. Do not discount what a good football player this kid is and what an impact he could make. He's a redshirt freshman starting against Texas.

Does it not seem like Erick Evans and Rex Rollins have sort of disappeared with Ivery and Wilson showing up?

How is it that Blake Macek lost his starting job - that guy had one of the most outstanding seasons at punter I have seen? Keena must be the %hit.

Saying its the best special teams we have had without Chancellor is pretty telling...

Sheldon Wade is a guy I can't wait to watch -- what a great story he has been... and of course KiShawn got a lot of praise.. Dash's stock must have fallen

SSP will be happy to see John at #2 behind Lee.

Like the theory of not a superstar d-lineman but lots of solid ones...mentions zero Wallace.

Tillman Johnson is going to be fun to watch and he gave a lot of love to Chad Polk.

I thought it was interesting to see that Calvin Minor has worked his way into the two deep. No mention of Blake Bean.

Still seems disappointed in Loving but has to say he could help us.

Proud of how how Travis Ellard has worked his way up to the top.

Dash was moved to SS for more depth but will likely be a floater where he's needed unless he beats out someone. Lees health is sketchy. Pegram earned it.

Warner's health.....
