8/16 Scrimmage today

[Jaxson Villain]

Can we just exclude one particular reporter from the herald?

It’s open to the media... they just told her that so she didn’t show up.

 

[bambam]

My thoughts exactly!

That’s Michael Redding III.

Even the younglings are going to eat. Book it!!!

What time is the scrimmage?

That's 3 of them, right? How much time will you have to properly evaluate a #2 unless you give the 3 the lion's share of minutes?

We have a new QB who got 4 practices in during the spring. I’m just going to guess that he’s getting tons of reps in this setting with the first game being 3.5 weeks out.

An offense with life is different than gashing our defense scrimmage 1. But I get your point.

The defense gave up way too many 1st downs on 3rd down. They aren't fine and I disagree with that statement. Defense has several areas to improve upon.

So we will have only 1 scimmage between now and then?

I saw 7 pm on one of the players media

My Predictions:

King will look good.

OL will look okay because he looked good.

Skill positions will look great because he looked good.

Defense will look bad because he looked good.

The end.

On a related note, my question is how involved is Manny going to be with the defense this year. My recollection is the defense didn't look very good last year until Manny had to basically oversee Baker and get heavily involved and then it improved after that. But even with Manny's involvement they STILL were bad on third down so I agree with you there. I'm just not sold on Baker but I'm hoping he has made progress.

Let’s see how Diaz’ post scrimmage comments compare to what he said last year below (recognizing among other things that it’s not the same exact team, some names have changed, we have a different offensive scheme, and we have a QB starter named at this point).

Looking back at that interview he almost seem to have an “we ain’t nowhere near where we need to be” vibe. Maybe I’m looking to much into it

Kind of refuse to allow myself to get too excited considering it's not a "real" cfb season but hey, it's better than nothing.

I think we can both safely assume that not to be the case, but not sure how that affects what I said at all. King is in a new system, new coach, and new team, plus didn’t get a full spring. Naming him as QB prior to camp even starting seems to be a clear demarcation that there isn’t any time to **** around with who gets the most reps.

Whenever the Canes play it is a real season.

 

[Cajuncane]

I think the main thing they want to find out is if Tate can play slot receiver...

If it is only 1 scrimmage then I would agree. If they have 1 more then they have opportunity
to get 1 and 2 ready for the season using live rounds.

main part for me is the o-line.

Only thing I wanna hear about is CB play...
