Thursday practice observations

[Bird4um]

Horton needs to practice by playing basketball.. specifically rebounding... go up, box out, fight for the ball at the high point. Easy fix.

 

[Gables Canes]

@DMoney any buzz on Citizen and Chris Johnson? Is Citizen fully healthy and does he finally look like he will be a contributor?

Also, is anyone from the secondary starting to emerge?

 

[ladycane]

@DMoney How is Jacolby George doing? Is he consistent? How is his maturity? Is he mentoring the younger guys?

Curious about him as well. Talented kid but he will get lapped by these young cats if he doesn’t keep it together

WR is missing the #1 still but it’s deep

 

[Bender]

don't tell me he caught that

 

[SpikeUM]

don't tell me he caught that

Why not? I did that every day in Yeshiva league!!!!

 

[423Hurricane]

don't tell me he caught that

I wanna know who overthrew that pass.

 

[Bunker Mentality]

i echo this. It’s easy to get open on parking cones. I have a feeling our secondary and pass rush are worse than anticipated. Defenses usually perform better than offenses in the spring time.

Too early for all this consternation; it's Spring camp and we have another 5 months to improve, roster technique, etc...

This is a process...iron sharpens iron.

Cam has never had this level of playmakers combined with OL. He will be loving life in the fall.

His Washington st wrs better than our room, oline here way better tho

Don’t know if I agree about the receiver room. But add our tight ends and we have the edge

You can't tell until they let the defense to start hitting. Yesterday was the first day in full uniforms.

 

[Cajuncane]

Agreed but having the safety blanket of someone like Arroyo is a massive thing for a QB to get comfortable in the beginning. Hopefully we see this connection light up defenses beginning the first week of Sept.

Great to have great TE’s but the next thing is they have to be part of the offense which they didn’t seem to be last year except the occasional pass to grandpa “ hands of stone” McCormack….

With our TE’s it should be a big focal point as opposed to an afterthought…

Granted. It will all play out. But it seems ominous. We’ve seen similar springs for other position groups that didn’t come together. 2022 WR a recent example

I wish our hoops team followed this advice.

Then he gets the classic basketball knee or ankle and is out for two seasons

Not saying we'll get to this level, but if Arroyo is healthy and Williams develops, could be a nice 1-2 punch combo like with Njoku and Herndon in 2016.

Any evidence of Cam taking some snaps under center vs the shotgun? I’m guessing that Cam’s NFL ambitions would be helped quite a lot if NFL scouts could see that he can efficiently handle snaps under center (see Brock Purdy in the 49er offense) vs strictly a shotgun scheme.

Thoughts?

God I really hope he is taking snaps under center. Obviously play action. And then If we can run some 21 and 12 personnel from under center and manhandle teams then come out and spread them out doing air raid…going to be almost impossible to stop

 

[Cane44]

if we are that thin or unsure of our CB's, then it baffles me they haven't put full court press on Washington to switch over 100%, so he can get a ton of valuable reps in spring. What's the point of him sitting at like the 6th WR spot, getting partial WR reps and partial CB reps... Go 100%
