This is some info that was passed on to me from a few good GT sources...Keep in my mind this is though four practices....and two were in shorts.
- They want to see what the young guys have early on and are throwing them into the fire so to speak...They like the skill set they have seen from Matthew Jordan. He of course is raw and has a long way to go but they feel they did not miss on him. A eye to keep a eye on in a couple of years.
- Justin Thomas and Byerly are cleary one and two.
- Custis has been what we exepected so far...and the staff is trying to contain their excitment on him but I was told they expect him to get a lot of touches this year.
- Laskey working hard and has bulked up a bit...isn't scared of a battle and is helping Custis all he can.
- The staff feels good about Laskey, Custis and Connors at B back...so they are trying to get Snoddy on the field at A back. I have heard they are happy with what he has done so far and hope he continues his play to get his way into the rotation.
- Donovan Wilson has been getting reps at B back
- We have spent some time in the first few practices "tweaking" things to fit our current talent.
- Messick has been getting a lot of snaps at WR with the second team.
- Staff wants better blocking on the outside this year from everyone.
- We have a good group of A backs but not one that stands out...Need one to step up.
- Braun is expected to be used at both G and T this year
- Chamberlain and Griffin have been getting a lot of reps as we are thin at T
- O'Reily is the starter as of now at Center
- Isaiah Johnson has looked great coming back from his injury...he is moving around comfortably and without hesitation...I was very encouraged by this.
- Staff feels very confident in the White, Milton, Griffin, Golden and Johnson lineup...depth is the concern there.
- Durham very likely to play this year.
- Concerned about DE's...Staff is trying a bunch of different things at DE and hoping to find the right group. Attaochu spent some time with Hunt-Days last week trying to give him tips...Whitehead is going to be counted on when he gets here.
- at SDE..Stargel is the starter right now.
- Gamble has been inside and that is likely where he will stay at.
- PJ Davis has been PJ Davis...still playing like he is being shot out of a cannon on each play.
