Spring Practice

[TheSilasSonRising]

If it turns out he can throw, we are all going to be more perplexed that he didn't start more last year.

I don't think we will be.

I think Graham is our best player.

Based on what, exactly? Please don’t say hs film.

 

[ATL1]

Just my less than uneducated opinion, I think the offense will be fine. Coach Pat has the QB with the skill sets for his offense already on campus. It maybe a little rough at first particularly with who we playing but just judging from the various skill positions I think the offense won’t have a huge drop off. Maybe even more explosive.

My concern is defense. Specifically the front 7.

Recruiting ranks probably. Graham and Griffin would be our two highest rated guys coming out of HS on offense, easily. Them and Ezzard if he is allowed to play this year.

 

[Southpaw13]

Not surprised to hear about Cooksey and Tukes moving. Neither was likely to see playing time on D... perhaps can at least give us some depth at TE and maybe get in the field a little there.

Fine. J Thomas is our best player. But who on this roster has honestly “proved” themself to you? Maybe Benson because he rushed for 1000 yards in 2017? But honeslty, after what I saw in the final 2 games of last season, not a single player other than Thomas has demonstrated anything.

 

[ATL1]

Cottrell moved to the slot.

But all more than Graham. I'm not saying it isn't possible, I just don't like putting any guy at the head of the class who hasn't done a thing yet.

There have also been interviews with both the former and current staff that recognized Graham as the most talented offensive player.

 

[YJMD]

QB entails a lot more than just talent. If Graham doesn't win outright, I imagine we'll put together a package just for him even though whoever is number one will be running plenty. I think Graham could flex at back/receiver in his package.

[Josh H]

First depth chart is gonna be interesting.

 

[GTRambler]

First depth chart is gonna be interesting.

Yes. The one that will be released right before the season opener next fall.

 

[iceeater1969]

That is super funny. All the qb's are saying how this O is like the one they played in hs. I guess we'll never get out from under that tag.

Some of my favorite high schools - U of Texas, O U, Nebraska U of Alabama - won many championships using the offense.

 

[iceeater1969]

Command of the offense is what CPJ valued the most.

Sadly this has many to conclude that given our limited talent level and the new blocking rules , the offense too complex to be effective.

Some interesting notes from today's practice. Quarterbacks, plural, seemed to throw the ball well.
Oh and we have something that I prefer for it not to be red though. "...a turnover bike, Oliver explained, in the vein of Miami’s turnover chain and other such novelties that have proliferated in college football. Or, as it was dubbed in a tweet from Thacker, the “Takeaway Cruzer” a one-speed with red tires with a face mask attached below the handlebars."

GOT TO GET RID OF THE RED TIRES !!!

 

[iceeater1969]

Any one here know who the first 2 ol guys that have cross trained as dl?

I thought Hansen would be a good dt. Last year he played guard and stayed low w arms up and a wide leg drive. In the offseason videos he seems to have shed some pounds.

So many here are to young to remember the envy u felt when u saw the rich kid on his bike with the fat white wall tires.
Red tires have to go.
Damn cool way to end a practice.
Gold bike, white walls on blue tire!

Mike Maye is one of them.
