    The Bank (camp edition 8/10)

    Me personally, if we go 9-3, and the losses are @ A&M, @ Clemson, and to Pitt, and Pitt wins the division by only losing once in the ACC, I won't have a great taste in my mouth simply because Clemson and Pitt are the last 2 games, but I don't think 9-3 is a complete failure. And yes, I know I...

    Thankfully, you're not making the decision. I'd be shocked if he doesn't start in College Station. And if/when he starts, I expect him to play well. So will he, so will Mario, so will Mirabal. I'll just leave it at that.

    Ryan Day won his division in Year 1. Justin Fuente won his division in Year 1. Clay Helton won his division in Year 1. Jim McElwain won his division in Year 1. Weak excuse. I don't think anyone sane expects a playoff berth. But winning the Coastal should ALWAYS be the floor here. And that's...

    IMO you're reading too much into it. If you're healthy enough to play, you're healthy enough to play. If you're not, you're not. I don't think you risk injury more if it's against a certain opponent. Now, if you are talking more on just the time side of things, then I'm with you. Meaning...

    I assume you mean Nelson. Surgery was just after the 4th of July weekend. Let's assume the end of that week, July 8th. His timeline is 6-8 weeks. 6 weeks would be August 19th. 8 weeks would be September 2, essentially right at Week 1. So I think aggressively he's practicing for a couple...

    I went from completely horrified about this defensive line to downright excited in 8 months. Simply incredible what we have been able to do in that group already. My main hangup, by far, in hoping for a successful season was the defensive line and I said it for several months last winter. But...

    This would be a very physical and forceful line, imo. Still not where we want to be long-term, but we know Zion is plenty good enough and strong as a 4th year player. Rivers is a big-time people mover. Logan might be the strongest kid on the team? Scaife is pushing 30 years old.

    Let’s assume Nelson is at full strength by A&M and he starts at LT. I know this is impossible without pads/scrimmages but if we plug him in at LT, who starts at the other 4 spots?
