Honestly yes, but the difference is that there was someone there most of the time. That tells me we know where to be, and have the athleticism to be there. But no idea if we can tackle/break tackles so besides DB and pass penetration, it’s tough to judge anything.

Tough to make any big calls off of no tackling and playing against yourself. There were some touch tackles that definitely wouldn’t have been tackles, and some no calls. If Peery was an opposing QB, Mr. Stone was going to break him. - I like McGowan. I think he’ll be a big weapon for us...

Haynes will get a shot as well, but with McCollum and McGowan there he may be in for a redshirt, unless he shows out in fall.

I’m cautiously optimistic that DE may be the biggest leap in performance from last years team.

The conventional wisdom is the further away from the ball, the easier it is to get on the field early. DB, WR, RB, LB I think WR has one talented veteran transferring in, and a bunch of untested talent in the wings, including guys like Norris, King and Boyd who haven’t played a ton. Then add in...

Good O/U is 6 wins imo.

And people shouldn’t build up guys that transfer out to take swipes at new guys or the staff.

If you believe McGowan is only 10 pounds heavier than AB, I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you. Kid was 170 pounds soaking wet. I was making the point that there is more to being a good slot receiver than running fly routes. And McGowin had more receiving yards than anyone on our team last...

I liked AB. I wish him well, and wish he would have stuck it out. I do think DP didnt try creative ways to get him the ball, but he seemed more fast than quick. The times he didn’t try jet sweeps, he couldn’t/didn’t break tackles. Your best option is to chuck it deep to him. That’s great, but a...

At one point we had one backup QB. Look at some of the highlights of his runs, he gets lit up in quite a few, especially vs Pitt. DP telling him to run it less last year, doesn’t mean he wants him to run less indefinitely. There’s also something to be said for keeping your eyes downfield...

The NFL is running their QBs more than ever. Lamar, Josh Allen, Kyler Murray are three top tier guys that run a lot. I think Sims needs to watch more film of those types of guys(especially Allen, who Sims favors physically) and how they avoid getting blown up. Have to live to fight another day...

How can you not love TC? BJS graduates soon. I wonder if he’s looking at moving on?

I was reading between the lines. Him commenting on how it isn't a problem with Eley makes me think it may be a problem with other players/position groups. Chekov's gun situation. It is nothing but pure conjecture on my part.

I thought his comments about Eley were interesting in that regard. Makes me think there may be some tension at other spots

There will always be naysayers. But I have some great memories watching practice with my brothers, dad, and uncle under multiple coaches. I remember reading TheHive practice threads when I was in middle school and high school. I think this program needs more fan engagement, even if we have some...

Damn you guys are pretty critical for the first scrimmage in pads. I do appreciate the write ups though. Are they all open or was that a one-off? Trying to get the munchkin and old lady to go one saturday

In the age of the spread, many teams, including our favorite, has gone to a nickel base to counter all of the skill players on the field. It makes sense, you want speed on the field. But I think he makes a good point, in that teams like ND and even teams like Uga and BC will trot out two+TE, or...

Would be happy if they just flip flopped us and Clemson, but oh well. Would have been happier with Syracuse’s spot tbh.
