I am starting to think CPJ might be getting slipped some meds. I can't recallhim being this upbeat. I am really surprised some true freshmen may be playing with the level of experienced talent we have on the O line.

I'm glad we have @33jacket around to help keep me grounded a bit. There is a lot I'm hearing thus far from pressers etc that gets me fired up.

I also saw Harland Howell had the play of the day yesterday, if you scroll down you will see it.

He's probably just elated knowing he's outlasted his boss.

Im not Longestday. I trust his judgment, he breaks down film like a coach. Last year our starting center was injured and was dealing with a very heavy heart. We lost some backups due to injury and " other reasons". Will who ended up starting 6 games, had no ideal if he was even going to play at the start of camp. He was 254 lbs after his first spring , he is over 290 now. So if you look at the 2 deep this year I believe we have 8 guys who have started in games, and all of them have either started or have had redshirt year. They are all bigger and stronger. We have more depth that is physical than we have had in a while I believe. We just need to stay healthy.

Ya'll hear this? This man knows what he is talking about. Let's roll

And, he sounded pretty confident that they would play, too.

I think that's #18 Lucas Johnson.

On his hs films , pass motion was ball held high and tight , then up and straight out.

Hope springs eternal at gt

I am so glad Shamire is doing good! It is awesome to hear that OL is doing good. But, is it good that 3 freshman may make the two deep? That means that others might not or is this motivation?

Idk coached made it seem as if the guys are just that good.

Yep. CPJ said they came in already big enough and athletic enough to play. Implied he doesn't see that very often. "They still have to learn but if they make the two deep they will play." They are that good.

 

[Gtech24]

Does anyone remember CPJ ever being this optimistic during fall camp? He seems to have nothing but positives to say during his interviews

Compare this Fall Camp interview last year from CPJ with the ones so far this year. It's encouraging to hear how well he thinks everything has been going. Lets hope that keeps up.

Man I'm pumped for September 3rd.

I agree with y'all in that it speaks well to their ability and talent. I'd still prefer to have enough depth to allow them to redshirt.

Complete opposites.

Most OL redshirt. Its a planned part of class balance.

 

[Andewa]

In yesterday's interview, CPJ straight up said the OL was doing good, and that he was really pleased. When on earth was the last time he said that? Hype train: engage!

 

[Boomergump]

I have heard many on this board wonder out loud what CPJ's motivation was for making a certain comment on a given day. I may be off base, but I have come to the opinion after listening to the man for 9 years that CPJ simply tells it like it is (in his mind at the time) without motive or much fear at all for consequences. In the case of 2016 fall camp, I really don't think he is trying to massage the fan base or give his team confidence with his recent interviews. He has an optimistic tone, probably because, given his experience, he is seeing things that usually translate to success. That snippet from 2015 says it all IMHO. We all know how the season unfolded and the problems we had.
