2022 Spring Football Practice

[Jacket05]

Results on the field is what will matter the most (duh!).

Listed at 333 pounds, the 6-foot-6 Williams is down to 305 pounds, Key said.
“He’s leaned himself up, he’s strong,” Key said. “I’m expecting a really good year out of him.”

I am (VERY) cautiously optimistic about our OL this year after listening to CBKs press conference. He has usually been pretty reserved in his compliments and constantly seemed to temper expectations of the OL development in the past few years. In this interview however he seemed genuinely excited about where they are in the development. He did preface it by saying "I hope I am still this excited by the end of spring practice" so we will see.

I thought he was more relaxed and not as uptight as he has been in the past. Hopefully it's the OL performance that is creating that.

THIS is why some of us pay attention to press conferences even when others say not to.

Spring game news per 93.7 FM/680 AM:
One of the end zones will be devoted to pre-game tailgate on the 17th. Sales of beer and alcohol.

Edited to share- It’s a 6 pm kick or ball being put down. Gates open at 4 pm….https://ramblinwreck.com/tech-announces-spring-game-fan-promotions/

FIFY. The tailgating will be while the game is underway as well.

Shhhh.. They're not intended for you...

To be fair, last preseason, we were told one of the DEs was so disruptive that they had to keep him out of reps so they could actually do the drill...

Just listened to the latest GoJackets podcast covering practices through yesterday...and based on the reporter's impressions, I'm cautiously optimistic about what Long is trying to do with the offense. Here's the link if anyone wants to listen: https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aH...Ewizo7vFwaj2AhUJTt8KHQZkC5AQjrkEegQIBhAF&ep=6

amazing throw but i’m not sure if the route was amazing or our defense is bad again lol

 

[AUFC]

Would have loved to attend the spring game and I don't even mind it being on a weekday. What I do mind is that they put it on 1 of the 2 greatest sports days of the calendar year: the first round of the NCAA Tournament.

I just saw on Ramblin Wreck that Peje Harris is now listed at TE. That could be very exciting. Strong pass catching from the TE spot will work well in Long's offense.

I’m not trying to toot my own horn as much as express frustration that this didn’t happen sooner. I made the below post in 2018 (zero likes btw lol ) where I analyzed the roster and landed on Harris as the only young player on the team who could play TE.

Any highlights scare me nowadays

was to malachi carter at least who was probably our best WR last years maybe it was just a good route

 

[TampaBuzz]

I was gonna say....a receiver running uncovered 7 yards behind the safety looks way too familiar!!

 

[Golden Tornadoes]

So I've watched this a couple of times and I'm leaning toward the defense being bad on this one. This is straight up man coverage and unless it's a stutter and go, Carter is running either a go route or a post. Couldn't tell who was in coverage, but he got burned bad....

here’s an alternate angle. difficult to tell the exact route based on the footage from the two clips but i think it’s a skinny post. that DB got absolutely cooked.

positives would be maybe sims confidence will go up throwing against these guys lol

 

[GT33]

There isn't much coming out and GC makes sure it happens all Spring by putting the T-game on a Thursday NIGHT when it might be cold and rainy.Its a wonder its not at 1 am in the morning.,I guess..

Just wait until Homecoming is moved to Thursday night.

I remember that. Was that Harris.? That might have been a tip-off to our OLine. lol

So far I like what Long has had to say. Impressed with his interview.
