Spring Practice 4/10 - Early Portion Notes

Apr 10, 2018

**As expected, nothing has changed in terms of the QB rotation since the scrimmage on Saturday. It's still (1) Malik Rosier, (2) N'Kosi Perry, and (3) Jarren Williams. Cade Weldon remains out with what the team is terming an eye infection.

**Routes today: post up the middle of the field, out route to the sidelines, and bubble screens.

**The story of the day was the offensive line. Stacy Searels was not happy with his unit giving up tons of sacks during the Saturday scrimmage, and as a result spent the morning mixing and matching to try and find the right combination.

From left to right, the first team to open was: (LT) St. Louis (LG) Jones (C) Gauthier (RG) Mahoney (RT) Donaldson

Second team to start was: (LT) Brown (LG) Scaife (C) Gaynor (RG) Campbell (RT) Hillery

**Like mentioned, there was heavy rotation with the first team to see which lineup can really gel. Brown was getting reps at first team RT with Donaldson at RG and Mahoney out. In another look, Mahoney and Scaife were sharing reps at first team center, with Gauthier at RG. It appears to be a work in progress to see which unit can come together and perform for Searels.

**On defense, BJ Jennings was rotating in and getting some first team burn today at MLB.

**Ed Reed was out observing practice today. One security guard actually questioned him because he wasn't wearing a credential, so you know we've got top notch security out here at Greentree.

**In a change of team policy, there will be no players made available to the media this week, only coaches. Players will be available to talk after the spring game however.

I hope.

Just wait until Searles starts rolling out unbalanced lines.

Getting 3-4 loss vibes from this team again, sadly.

If we go 3 and out on our first drive of the season, this clown will be getting an 0-12 vibe.

What say you OG? Undefeated season, 1-2 loss? Without a stand out QB especially I see a similar season as last year. Not going out on a limb much here.

What's going on with Kai Leon Herbert? He was destined to start this year?

Someone (I think St Louis) made a comment in a post-practice interview that Herbert is still dealing with a shoulder issue from high school. He sort of backtracked after and said Herbert is fine. But I'm guessing that's probably part of it.

Think the first move is figuring out who the RT is. We know Tyree St Louis is gunna be the LT. Step one is figuring out who plays RT.

Now I think Jahair Jones and George Brown have no shot here, cause they simply aren't good, especially Brown. So that means either one of the Freshman, Hillery or Herbert, OR Donaldson. Those are the three options. Donaldson would probably be the safest choice at RT.

With the OTs figured out, the iOL is next. Luckily we already know one starter - Gauthier. Now The least important position on the OL is OG, therefore we should have Gauthier playing Center, which is a more important position.

Who will start at OG is a big question. Out of the two best OGs on the roster, the better run blocker will play RG. I think we got 4 guys that could win these two spots (if Donaldson needs to play RT) - Vincent Boulware (Transfer), Delone Scaife, Hayden Mahoney, and Corey Gaynor.

In the Security Guard’s defense, Ed Reed does look like a 60 year old lol

Very difficult to go undefeated regardless who you are. But if we only lose one or two games then one of them better not be fspoo.
Maybe our d line isn’t as bad as what I originally thought and we still have 2 studs coming in.
Jo Jax and Garvin made those ND all American tackles look soft as wonder bread and now they’re one year older stronger bigger and faster.

Searles said in his interview Mahoney has been the most consistent thus far

Every practice report leads to people making concrete declarations about the season. They expect every position group to be performing at an all time great level a couple weeks into spring. Anything positive about the DL getting after OL? Nope just that the OL sucks and we're losing at least 4 games next year.

At what point do we stop blaming the OL players and start blaming the Online coaching?

I'm not excited about this upcoming year. The offense just has me down. I'm not feeling the QB play or the play calling, and when you combine that with Diaz, I am feeling an upcoming 4 loss season

That's cause you sit down to pee and have menstrual cycles

Donaldson at right tackle is a huge risk. Playing right guard last year he was getting beat by speed moves inside , playing outside there's a lot more space to get beat.

This is hilarious.

Donaldson wanted to be an OT coming out of high school. If he's holding his weight down, he has the agility to be a wall there, which would be a great development. I hope Boulware can step in and bring interior strength. We have to be able to find five out of all the talented kids we have on roster now (with more coming in a couple months).

Good for Jennings. I was a doubter. Hope he makes me look foolish.

Forgot about Boulware. Could actually help here.

The times he got beat it was more due to technique than speed. There isn't much room in the interior line, speed is usually not a huge factor. He struggled some with footwork & hand placement like most True FR OL. I think he ends up at RT eventually
