Practice Day - #8

[Longestday]

MJ has a 2 season window. He enrolled early (Jan 2014) and was in last years spring game, but he is a RS Freshman this year.

 

[GTRanj]

on JHD, I'll bet that is true--but wait ,it can't be --our 1st unit Def never plays vs our Off according to some guys here---I'll bet he wouldn't be cheating on plays if we all of a sudden started running a 4WR with 1 back OFf--hmmm

Maybe it has something to do with him playing scout team defense all last season... Doesn't mean our defense only faces our offense all of the time...

MJ's window is one season, isn't it?

two

In the article about moving pieces in the secondary, I really like the note about shuffling guys around to improve on field communication. That's a very interesting and seemingly important idea that I just didn't think about. It will help keep the drop off between starters and backups minimal and reduce the number of missed assignments by young guys.

Anyone know how Antonio Simmons has been doing this spring so far?

 

[Northeast Stinger]

Marcus Allen at WR

That is surprising to me. Say more about his skill set if you would.

My wife (who may be the only person in CPJ's life who isn't at least a little scared of him) walked up to him today and hugged him.

Her: "Paul...I can always tell when Spring practice is well underway."
CPJ: "Oh really? How's that?"
Her: "Because you just get so dark. (Reaches up and pats him about 3 times on his cheek) Look at that TAN!"
CPJ: (blushes and laughs and has absolutely no comeback whatsoever)

It's hilarious to watch him be so beautifully human around someone who is comfortable with him.

Saw Quaide walking with Will Bryan today, and he was in a boot and crutches. What's the word on that?

It's an evil joke to make us worry, that's my guess

 

[IronJacket7]

Shamire still out
Lynch
Matthew Jordan
Marcordes

All out per CPJ

Marcus Allen at WR

Interesting....
Any additional info on it?

 

[Techster]

They have been trying to find a position for Marcus Allen ever since he came to GT

First BB
Then LB
Now WR

Surprised he hasn't gone to AB yet. Could be a devastating blocker with his size and an effective enough runner given his background at BB. Probably would be in the mold of Synjyn and Ant at AB.

Just trying to find a spot for him really...WR is another attempt to do that. Hard for me to see him at WR but maybe he works things out.

 

[ATL1]

Why not AB?

 

[NorthGaJacket15]

Possibly another shot at B back with Quaide going down?

 

[gtalltheway]

Who was number 3 on our roster at bb?

 

[GTech63]

He is 6'2" 220 why is it hard to see him as WR? He has played both ways so maybe he can be a good blocker. His Bio says he only started playing as a Jr in HS. So has had a lot of learning to do. But with Quaide going down maybe a shot, as others have said, at B Back.

 

[UgaBlows]

I bet he can lay some mean blocks down at that size WR

Skillset more than body type.

nice body but his hi school tape compared to guys we are getting now is nowhere close
