[DMoney]

Fire away. There are things I can't answer because we play Notre Dame week 1, and in general I can be more forthcoming on the private calls for Canes Connection members, but I will share what I can.

When will we learn the severity of the most severe injury (to date), which is not an injury to a WR?

Do you think this defense will be able to generate turnovers at a high clip (top 30ish) unlike last year?

Have we made any field goals?

We have more ballhawks in the secondary. Poyser and O'Connor alone had seven interceptions between them as redshirt freshmen. Overall, I see a secondary with better ball skills. It's hard to say anything definitive about the new defense and pass rush until we see other teams, but I'm optimistic.

 

[DMoney]

Have we made any field goals?

Yes.

 

[Elmer Leghorn]

will Lyle be RB1?
How has Scott looked in camp?
tell me something about Pickett

 

[QuattroCane]

What should we realistically expect from the offense this year? Cam ruined me.

 

[DMoney]

will Lyle be RB1?
How has Scott looked in camp?
tell me something about Pickett

RB is by committee but my prediction would be Lyle as leading rusher. Scott looks huge. We will know more when they put on pads tomorrow. Pickett moves very well. Him and Lightfoot give you a lot of versatility.

 

[DemCanes10]

What are Simpson and Russell progress?

 

[Strobe]

what's something/performance of a player that if someone told you before camp started you would have not believed it, but do now?

@DMoney Give us your honest impressions of Beck's arm strength and accuracy so far post-surgery. Is there any reason to worry? Or does he look 100%?

Which pass catcher(s) do you see leading the team in receptions/yards/TDs this year?

Lyle over Fletcher? Because break away ability or he will overtake him for most carries?

They will both be big parts of the offense. I've always viewed Lyle more as a Melvin Bratton and Fletcher as an Alonzo Highsmith (not saying they are as good, but in terms of role and skillset).

100%. We'll see if it gets tired or something, but based on what I'm seeing, zero concerns.

 

[Hufftwoseven]

Is Hayden Lowe too physically impressive to keep off the field? Could he have a Bain type freshman impact?

 

[deezydinh]

over or under 50 yards for jojo in the ND game

 

[DMoney]

Which pass catcher(s) do you see leading the team in receptions/yards/TDs this year?

If I'm betting on August 6th, CJ Daniels, Malachi Toney and Elija Lofton will be in that mix. I could see Trader leading the team in explosive plays.
