Well, last year’s offense moved forth and last year’s defense moved back. So….yes?

Cam was always very good at being diplomatic and giving credit to his teammates

Blount stood out. Kid is the real deal.

Lowe is also an animal (at DE) will play ALOT this year imo.

I have to ask about Scott.

Does Lowe remind you of Gregory Rousseau? With Blount and Scott, we can be solid at DT. Maybe Blount can overtake blay?

I’m sure he enjoyed watching from the sidelines.

Will he be healthy for game 1? I hope so. We need all our good players to be healthy. It's refreshing to hear toney and Moore are balling though.

Did you watch the scrimmage?

 

[Stats02]

Tried to tell them Bell was the best OL, and could possibly be this year’s Mekhi Becton. Same size, same initial, and dam near same look. Lol

Better than Mauigoa? I joke about Bell being the #1 overall pick and All-American that some make him out to be, but he did improve a lot by the end of last season and looked pretty good. I tend to believe he's going to have a great season, but I'm not sold he's on Mauigoa's level. I would love to be proved wrong. I'm rooting for him.

So the corners were elite…All the D-linemen played well...

But somehow Beck lit it up. Something not adding up here lol

My man you are not new to scrimmage recaps

I'm trying to recall: How did our defense look in pre-season last year?
Because if reports said it looked good, then you might have a hint at how unreliable these reports can be.

I did not.

That is from someone very close to the program that was there

In some level of defense (not much),

Damari Brown wasn’t hurt yet, so Im sure the DBs were better in camp than they were a month into the season. Also, it wasn’t until 6-7 weeks into the season that we really started seeing how the defense couldn’t line up pre snap to save their lives

But overall, I don’t disagree with your overall point

would be ideal if Blount can keep adding weight and play inside as we're very deep at DE.

Defensive backs were always the concern and the reports made that clear.

But the defense looked more like it did Games 1-4 than it did later.

So, saw the Dolphs/Bears game and noticed a guy on D named Toure, anybody know if they’re related. Just askin’

I'm not an expert on West African culture, but watching soccer I've seen the name often, especially players from Ghana.

To me he hasn’t shown anything to show he’s not on Francis level. Just as quick and aggressive. Footwork is on point. He just needed the game reps.

Yes…from the rooftop…camouflaged

I’m interested to see his base once he’s set. LY he got thrown off balance on more than a couple of
Times due to his height and not being set.

I don't know about this one brother. Francis has literal highlights as a 20 year old two year starter.

Not sure who had a better offseason on the board Bain or Bell

But to be fair the book on Bell was 2025 would likely be the year he took the jump (based on what was said when we landed him) so he certainly has unreal potential given his physical gifts

I'm very excited to see Bell but I'm not exactly expecting him to be on Francis's level either.

If I had to compare the two to me Francis actually has the much quicker feet. I watched the highlight because some people on our board was saying he is a guard in the NFL.

It would be criminal for the NFL to waste feet and coordination like that at guard.
