IDK if Grimble getting into it with Clements is bad. I think it's good if Grimble is getting ****ed. He needs to. Good teams have little scuffles in camp. As long as it doesn't continue in the locker room it's fine.
 
Gunter getting beat by Lockhart, isn't Gunter a Frosh as well?

I don't know why people are shocked that Rico Williams is lost in the shuffle right now...that's a kid no one should have had any kind of expectations for until his RSJr and RSSr years. The kid came in like a stick...a hair over 200lbs with twig arms. Sure, he has some nice speed, but the kid needed to go through a bit of a body transformation while taking on a lot more weight.
 
btw - if anyone feels the need to get better practice reports...I hear CanesTime, Rivals, and InsidetheU have elite practice reports. Have fun.

No one is criticizing the reports. Im sure we are all very appreciative. The only thing some are asking for are some discussions of areas of concern. As of right now, it seems like most of this team is just killing it at Greentree. We have heard this before other years, and the team has come out and flopped. I think a bit of balance and discussion of areas of concern would be appropriate. No one is demanding negativity or bashing of the team, or citizing the reports, just asking for a bit more detail on some areas of concern, so we get a fair and balanced view of what to expect. I dont think that is being critical, ungreatful, or negative.

Practice reports, good or bad, rarely give an indication of how the season is going to go. This is anywhere from a 6-8 win team this year. Practice reports are not going to tell us if they will win 6 games or 8 games. Keep up the good work Peter.

I'm not really sure what you guys want me to say... I could make a negative comment for every positive play just because the offense and defense are going against each other in practice...

I'm just reporting what I see.

Just because you don't see something posted, doesn't mean that group is struggling.. For example, the tight ends have looked solid in practice, the balls just weren't thrown their way today. The pass rush hasn't been incredible, but remember these are vanilla schemes right now, there's not much blitzing.

Tried pointing this Out yesterday, but apparently most of you guys didn't see it...Telemaque hasn't done much, Mike James has looked OK, Chickillo hasn't been blowing things up.

You guys have to remember though that this is PRACTICE (AI voice), I give you what I see and that's it. Does it mean Duke will win the Heisman this year or Tracy will have 10 picks....no. I'm just trying to give you guys an idea of what's going on, that's it.

I was actually gonna ask about Chick.... I hadn't seen his name in any of the practice reports yet IIRC
 
Am I the only one worried that no one can cover Dorsett? I mean, the guy's no Jerry Rice...

A.) We already no our secondary is shaky

B.) How do we know other teams are going to be able to cover him? We don't. I know this is hard to understand, but we are back to a time when people will actually IMPROVE.
 
I would also like to tell the people I rely on for information to check with me first and see if said information matches up with my mood for the day.

TIA.
 
When giving practice reports you can only really name the 10 guys or so that stood out, it's a lot harder to talk about the other 70 guys that didn't really do ****.

Simple fix don't read his report and comment about what you are not receiving from a free site. Lol I guess a little humility would go a long way on this board.
