I'm assuming he is trying to make it like a hostile crowd for the players where they can't hear let alone you and I
Yea but that’d be more crowd yelling than teach me how to dougie.

Thankfully, Coach Collins is getting really involved with the defense this year!I haven't had a chance to watch this yet but if our second string defense is significantly worse than our first string defense which will likely be pretty bad this year then holy cow, what are we doing on that side of the ball?
Blackstrain and PJ looked very good. The small fast guys made several plays but their catching needs some work. Freshman Moore looked good. Not much production from the TEs. DBs were giving much closer coverage but did not win the 50/50 balls. Agree with too many wide and high snaps. Some fumbled should have been caught. Gibson was more consistent than Sims and generally made quick decisions and got rid of the ball quick. Sims looked good early but later fell into the holding the ball too long. Field goals were a good news/bad news: We made them but had to kick because we bogged down in the red zone. Its really hard to judge the O when the QBs are two hand touch and you do not know if they could escape the pocket or not. Overall not very interesting since there was really no game. There were participating players out there not on the latest published roster.Defensive backfield looks good. Blackstrain showing out, slot backs fast!
Please don't say that!!I'm a big Dontae fan, he also had a good interview during the telecast. My concern though is more that it did not appear to me that the OL was able to get any significant push on our DL.
If our RB's are constantly getting hit at or behind the line of scrimmage that is going to have a big negative impact on the run game and offense in general.
I definitely have concerns that our OL could be worse than last years, but we won't know either way until we start playing games in the fall.
lolAs of now, 7 on 7 with no lines on either O or D.
A rare intelligent post on GT Swarm. Thank you.Thoughts:
-Our OL might be even worse than last season. Sims is your starter because we need to run the ball. I agree with the commentators, we will need to make the zone read even more central to the offense. Problem is, Sims missed reads there too.
-sims still looks unsure in the pocket, and throws into coverage when pressured. Not a good look for a third year starter behind a weak OL.
-liked the physicality of Martin, Haynes, Blackstrain. Good young guys there.
- first team D looks physical, second team does not. Paper thin there.
-liked the use of TE more.
-I don’t like K Walker at corner. Doesn’t look to have the fluidity needed. He looks like a FS to me all the way.
I’ll be there watching, but with our OL we will have a tough row to hoe. If we can keep injuries out of the front 7, maybe our D can keep us in it.
I don't know how many guys played on the line the last two years, but it seems like a lot; which in turn affected continuity. I have no idea of this lines ceiling, but their floor will be much higher if they can play together for a time. OL health may be a big influencer for the second half of our schedule.This OL group can be good enough in time, but staying injury free is critical.

That's an old problem that is likely exacerbated by the new offense. Some new OC coaching can fix it, maybe. If not, we need to go in another direction.Sims is clearly the most physically talented of the two 2 QBs that played. He's got an NFL caliber arm, and he has athleticism we need to use. The ball just comes out of his hands differently than we've had at QB in a while. However, it seems he holds on to the ball too long, or he's indecisive beyond his first read. I thought that would be a problem with a new OC. He's only had about a month of work in the new offense, so hesitation and indecisiveness isn't suprising.
