A few observations from practice

[Jedi Master Cane]

I was there til it started lightning and they were not in pads....but a few things I found interesting

- There is zero doubt they are at least toying with the idea of Evidence moving to TE. He started practice doing some drills with the receivers but when the DE vs TE blocking drills broke off into their groups, Evidence was in there with the TE’s.
- Probably been mentioned a million times already but Tate was definitely with the 1’s. As a matter of fact I just kept an eye on Jeff Thomas and Osborn a lot of the time since I’m assuming they are locks to be the starters ....and every those two were on the field , Tate was at QB. Let’s see what happens
-Our punter may not be Reggie Roby reincarnated, but I don’t think we’re going to have the issues we had last year again . Pretty good hang time and he ripped a few. Even the ones he didn’t rip had good hang time . Looks like a division one punter at least
-Minor thing but brought a smile to my face . As soon as the lightning alarms went off and team started heading indoors, manny himself came over to where I and other fans were and told us if the lightning stopped they’d come right back out . He didn’t need to run over and do that , I thought it was pretty cool

Thanks for the update.

Good take... the pieces of the puzzle are coming together.

 

[grover]

Good stuff.

 

[troyskiles]

Thanks for the post, OP.

I can't wait to see Hedley light someone up on a punt return.

 

[Jedi Master Cane]

Some other things I saw

- A ton of jet sweeps. Like a lot of them.
- I only keyed in on the OL a couple times but it looked to me every time the obvious starters (Donaldson, Scaife, Gaynor) were in.....Zion was with them. May mean nothing but let's see if this kid does the unthinkable and starts at LT from day 1. Having the luxury of kicking Scaife inside to guard would do this line a WORLD of goodness.
-Pope looked fast as all **** and Robert Burns actually looked healthy.

You're not gonna believe it...but I actually saw a SHALLOW CROSS.

I wept.

I thought that would be a staple when we got richt as a coach considering what he did with that at FSU but it seemed like we barely did it

Lotta fappin going on. Hopefully not all for nothing. Hate when I forget my dam tissue box

1. Having the luxury of kicking Scaife inside to guard would do this line a WORLD of goodness.

Thanks for sharing. On the above point, what are you basing this off of? My early impression on Scaife is that his strengths might actually be better suited at tackle than at Guard. Aside from his height, I think his strengths and weaknesses may better align with success at T.

Still a lot of career left for him here so I’ll be interested to see how he progressed

[k9cane]

I can absolutely see Njoku as a 'move' tight end, being motioned, being put all over the place in certain situations as a match-up nightmare. Blocking and sealing the edge probably wont be something he'll be asked to do

@Stefan Adams said Hedley "got a hold of a few ... was a mixed bag overall".

If his punts had hangtime did they not have distance or...?
