Hot take: Tate Martell gets moved to H-Back but will have a special Wildcat package designed for him.
I know QC on OSU staff who still communicates with Tate. He said Tate told him if he doesn’t win QB job, he still wants to play whether it be HB, special teams, or anything he can help with.

So he may communicate this to our staff, your hot take is actually somewhat realistic.
 
Derrick Smith ballin tf out

I don't want to jinx the kid, but he is legit the closest S to Sean. T that we've had here in 15+ yrs, at least from a physical standpoint. 6.2, 220 lbs, that can knock your teeth out, and also guard slot receivers. Even in the Clemson game in 17', once Bandy went out with an injury, he was able to show his versatility by filling in and playing corner. Him and Hall would create one of the most devastating tandems in the entire country @ S for MIA.

I figure he'll find a way on the field somehow. If he's that dynamic of a runner, he's got a place on offense even if he's not QB1
 
Come on, man.

I realize merely invoking the hallowed name Sean. T on this forum is similar to committing blasphemy, but in this instance I actually believe it's warranted. I guess only time will tell if I am correct or not.

I see some similarities in how both were used in high school too. Both played wr at times and have skills that extend beyond their defensive roles. But still ST is a high bar man.

True, but I don't understand how what I'm saying can be construed as controversial. I'm not saying he's going to be as good as Sean. T, all i'm saying is I believe that he's the CLOSEST to him that we've had here in 15+ yrs.

QB play:

Overall, this was probably the best day the QBs have had. Both N’Kosi Perry and Jarren Williams were consistently accurate and did not turn the ball over. They were also very sharp on their deep balls.

Tate Martell did not play poorly, but he did not play as well as Perry or Williams. Martell did have some nice deep balls and was more accurate than the other days on the short crossing routes. Where Martell did run into trouble was on the intermediate crossing routes. On two different occasions, Martell did not lead the receiver well enough, and Derrick Smith got his hands on the pass. Smith caught one and dropped one.

Other Notes:

Jeremiah Payton has impressed me every time I’ve seen him play. Payton has good hands and moves faster than his testing numbers suggest. Payton also has shown that he is a capable blocker.

Brevin Jordan looked to be limited in practice yesterday, but he participated in every drill conducted during the media portion of today’s practice. He did, however, run with the second-team offense.

Jeff Thomas did not participate in practice. Neither did Louis Hedley or Nesta Silvera.

The tight ends were a big part of the offense today. All four were being used to attack the middle of the field, and all looked good at running their routes.

Brian Hightower and Nigel Bethel both reached 20 MPH.

Big Cane Drill:

Jonathan Garvin beat Zion Nelson.
Navaughn Donaldson beat Jordan Miller.
Michael Pinkney and Cam’ron Harris went twice, and both ended in a stalemate.
Mark Pope beat Al Blades.
Keontra Smith DESTROYED Marshall Few twice.

Some 1v1 results:

KJ Osborn beat Trajan Bandy.
Derrick Smith beat Mike Harley.
Al Blades beat Mark Pope.
Dee Wiggins beat DJ Ivey.
Marshall Few beat Christian Williams.
Brian Hightower beat Nigel Bethel.
Jeremiah Payton beat Christian Williams.
KJ Osborn beat Robert Knowles.
Mike Harley beat Te’Cory Couch.
Evidence Njoku beat DJ Ivey.
Derrick Smith beat Marshall Few.

Great stuff @Matthew_Suero

However, just some brotherly advice to save your wrist from potential carpal tunnel....no need to post any info regarding Robert Knowles; we already know he got beat. lol.

Thinking you know it because all you are is a keyboard football player. Get off the computer and go out and show him how to play at your level.

Time has already told you you’re incorrect. Smith can be a very good player, but if he was anything like Taylor he’d have already flashed that brilliance.
