Day 1 Practice Notes (GRAY HAS ARRIVED)

[DJWilliams55]

Man if we were 4-3 full time a LB group of Grace at Will, DP at Mike and Owens at Sam would be nasty

 

[CANE4LIFE]

When was the last time we had 5 solid QBs on our roster at the same time?

Not sure, but are we really going to call all these guys "solid" already? Rosier has lots of potential but is very raw. Williams is solid but hurt. Heaps is a big question mark. Kaaya will be solid. Olsen is a headcase that can go either way.

Lots of potential there, but I wouldn't say they are all "solid" right now.

Nothing personal, but have you been paying attention the last 12 years? This passes the for solid in the QB wasteland that we have been.

How so? We thought Jacory and Marve would be "solid". We thought Morris was going to be at least "solid". Williams with his experience and having been decent as a true Frosh at Memphis was thought to be "Solid". Remember how Preston Dewey, the "prodigy" personally coached by Ty Detmer was going to be "solid"? We have made that assumption year in and year out. And have looked like @ss.

I will wait to see if a few of these guys emerge before declaring them "solid", especially compared to the sh8t show of the last few years. Do they have more potential? Sure. But so far Olsen hasn't shown much of anything except bad judgement and immaturity. Williams looked to be solid, but is hurt. Heaps talks the talk, but has moved around a lot and had a very spotty career. Big question mark there. Kaaya has a ton of potential, and looks solid so far, but he's young.

Will a FEW be solid by the time the season starts? I hope so, and think so. But I just don't see how we can make that assumption right now. Not about 5 of them.

Look, Im not trying to bust the guy's balls, or yours, Im just saying, its this mindset that has led us to disappointment year in and year out. We really have NO idea which Jake Heaps is going to emerge from this Fall. The HS phenom blue chipper, the kid that looked like a stud his Frosh year at BYU, or the guy that faltered and choked, then looked pedestrian at best at Kansas. Williams has never looked like a stud here. He may end up being solid, but a lot depends on how his knee is. Olsen is a walking clusterf*ck who cant stay out of trouble. And hasn't particularly lit it up since he's been here.

Is there a lot of potential there? Yes. But I don't know how many of them are "solid" right now. I suspect that by the time the season starts, 2 or 3 will be.

[The Franchise]

Told the dudes on the recruiting board that when KC signed here he'd start from jump street. He'll be one of those guys who starts every game of his career here.

Matt Porter @mattyports · 31m

Watching Wyche do short-burst drills. He is not fast. Also, his practice jersey was last worn by David Gilbert. It fit Gilbert better

Matt Porter @mattyports · 20m

Wyche has spent a large portion of practice doing conditioning drills. Also frosh DE Mike Smith is wearing a knee brace and has been limited

I told you guys this would happen the JUCO's that dont make it in for spring practice are always way out of shape. He wont be in shape like the rest until the middle of the season. Calvin Heurtelou is the one you should put your hopes on

That's what you got from two tweets that don't have anything to do with what you gleaned from it?

Bye

He has a point though. Wyche wanted to be here in the Spring, and they really wanted him here in the Spring for this very reason. He's probably NOT in the best shape he can be. And if he's going to be 1 or 2 at NT, he's got to be able to put in some reps. This was a big problem the last few years, especially last year with Porter who was gassed by the 2nd quarter every game. Wyche's development is definitely been set back by not being here sooner. Just hope he picks things up fast, and is ready to be a solid contributor by the time the season starts.

I think you're putting too much into the meaning of "solid".

Not too long ago, our QB depth looked like this:

1. Jacory
2. Whipple
4. Morris
3. AJ Highsmith

By comparison, our current QBs are "solid".

Call me crazy or a Debbie downer, but I haven't heard Heurtelou's name really pumped as much as one would hope. I have a feeling he may end up passed by Moore or even Jenkins. Despite having been here in the Spring, just haven't heard much of him blowing anyone away. I think Wyche will start over Heurt.

You probably won't give a crap, but on principle alone, riding to the defense of that clown gets you a neg brah

Maybe we do have an issue with semantics then. When I hear "solid", I think of a QB that can start a game for you, and look at least decent. A guy that can step in and gives you at least a chance of winning a game. Im not sure most of these guys are there yet. Is there better depth? Definitely. Some mature guys that have been around? Yes. Overall I do think our QB situation is better than its been in a long time. I just didn't agree that we have 5 "solid" QBs RIGHT NOW. Maybe they will become, but Heaps is unknown, Williams hurt, Olsen ******** up, Kaaya young. Still a lot of question marks at that position.

Takes a while for anybody to get used to summertime Miami humidity coming from Los Angeles.
For a 350lb guy who has to start playing football in a sauna it's got to be a rough transition.

All Porter said was he is not fast and he is working on conditioning drills.
Show me a fast 350lb guy, and it'll be the first ever.

It's day 1 of camp. Not even the end of the first day of camp.

Let's find some perspective. First game isn't this Saturday.

You are kind of proving the point. Couple guys one year, another some other year, then another one or two. The point here is, we have 5 guys who have not already proven to be losers here. The closest we were to this was Harris and Marve, back to back, high recruits. We might not be looking at Kelly, Kosar, Vinny here but couple drops of water in desert is a wonderful thing. Lighten up. Plenty of time to throw trash later. Enjoy the moment. Heck, we even have Chocolate as possible QB. there we have six now.

Hey, Chocolate, don't you worry. For every doubter there was someone on this board pulling and praying for you, kid. We have had your back all year. Bring that CC will do to the Gables.
