I wasn't happy with it but it makes sense from a business standpoint for two reasons. First of all, what we had yesterday was not a spring game, so it's less likely fans of other teams will watch. When selling advertising space, you need to predict viewership. No way you could charge as much...
Point of order, jerk, nothing happened to "The Hawks," something happened to one of our players. He wasn't likely to start this year so I doubt this will have any lasting impact on the season. How bout a little human compassion for the young man in the hospital?
I'm not so sure we have less weapons at WR than last year. Last year we had McNutt, DJK, and Sandeman with KD as an occasional option. Now we have McNutt, KD, and if yesterday means anything Staggs will take over the Sandeman role. That leaves us just one guy short and I have to believe KMM...
I think yesterday should have put a permanent end to the speculation on Derby changing positions. Not only did he perform better than Wienke in the scrimmage, he also didn't look like a guy who was viable at other positions anymore. He looks leaner than when he arrived, so for him to switch to...
Derby seemed a lot more confident and reliable at QB than Wienke. Stood tall I'm the pocket and was very accurate in intermediate passes.
It's been said, but Keenan Davis was extremely impressive. Made some acrobatic grabs in skeleton and had a catch with big YAC in the full scrimmage...
Thanks a lot, Debbie Downer. God forbid we get excited about a super-long TD, it must just be because that were defensive breakdowns rather than a well-executed offensive play.
Given all of the things going on with the program at that time (let's not forget, ARob was arrested less than 24 hours before the game), I think it was a moment of pride that the youngster want going to let his coach down.
No no, keep him out of the backfield and move Bullock to the slot.
And to the previous poster asking if he can pick up the blitz, etc., he won't really have to. It's doubtful we'd use him in blitz pickup when we have 4 bigger backs. If he's in the game, he should be taking handoffs and...
Doubt it, unless he put on like 20 lbs after the AAA game. Didn't look anywhere near 255 there. In any event, how would your QC buddy know? Coe isn't from the QC and it's not like he holds public weigh-ins our anything...
Yes, AIRBHG still lurks around every corner but I agree with the OP. All we can do is go get kids and keep our fingers crossed. I LOVE the talent we got at RB and if we can go all year with no catastrophic injuries, we have a shot at something special. KF and Co. are no dummies. They know...
When the coaches spoke with Canzeri yesterday, they told him his commit would move Bullock to D. Coe was our top RB recruit this year. You don't get your top commit at any position and then move them somewhere else.
No difference in my eyes. I felt bad for the UVA fans when I read the article about him decommitting. Lomax may even be a bit worse since he switched so late in the process and Melvin switched to go to an in-state school.
Hard to say. Rivals has him at 4.5 but that's not verified. In the interview he gave after committing, though, he did quite a bit of beading about his speed. He said he got a lot faster after his junior season, but if that 4.5 is accurate, that's plenty fast. Significantly fewer guys run a...
IIRC, Hitchens was only at RB for a week and didn't see any actual PT there. It's obvious that the coaches think highly of his abilities though since he's been an option at DB, LB, and RB as a true freshman. He switched to LB during bowl prep and saw a little time in the bowl game there. But...
Jacob Hillyer on offense. Less heralded then some of our other recruits but put up video game numbers in high school and had the alleged size and speed to play as a true freshman. Could, and should, make an impact next year.
Defensively, either Spears or Alston should push for PT at LB. I...
We have plenty of talent but we're light on experience at some key areas. I'd say Bernstine is a more physically talented safety than Sash, and I'd probably say the same thing vis-a-vis Miller and Greenwood. I'd also say Christian Kirksey is more talented than Troy Johnson and you'd be hard...
Yeah, he was shaky before primarily because of the circumstances surrounding what happened with MSU. I got the feeling that he wanted to lock up his spot somewhere and didn't want to wind up an orphan with no home. Since then, though, it seems like he's really gotten serious about Iowa and...
Don't sleep on Don Shumpert. But if I was taking a guess based on who we have and what it will take to become a standout guy, my honest-to-goodness guess is new recruit Jacob Hillyer. His numbers in HS were completely outrageous (2700 yards and 26 TDs between his junior and senior seasons), he...
