Oooh the mysterious other half of the playbook. Many a season have we heard tales of the mystical other half of the playbook. We waiting in vain for it to appear in the PeNos era after being burned during the Richt dynasty before. Maybe the planets will align with Lash and the prophesy will be fulfilled

Rambo is the deal, game breaker that must be respected. The only knock is he’ll be automatic catching the ball then out of nowhere drop one. Almost like it was too easy or a layup. Nothing like the drop brothers but just a small gripe.
Sounds like another former Sooner… Kenny Stills. Still can’t get that drop out of my mind. Wide open.
 
Made it for about the final 30 minutes of a team portion before they headed into the IPF.
Overall it appeared the defense out-played the offense, and they let the offense know about it.
Observations from the perch (obstructed view):

DL:
-McCloud looks thick, explosive and is a leader
-Did not see Silvera out there
-Johnson was practicing moves on the side and looks fine
-Ishmael was in shells with no neck brace
-Q. Williams, T. Davis were not practicing
-2nd team DEs were Neely and Fishman
-Ford, Hunte, Miller, Roberts, Taylor, Haye at DT
-Harvey snuffed out an end-around to B. Smith

LB:
-Steed was with the 1s at one point.
-Flagg, Keontra, Jennings round out the top 4.
-Brooks and Huff were with the 3s.
-Cave out
-Don't remember seeing Troutman or Johnson

DB:
-Carter was playing some safety and could rotate there until the freshmen are ready.
-One package included Carter, Frierson, K. Smith, Hall, Bolden, Ivey, Stevenson.
-Blades was with the 3s and got beat on a corner route.
-Williams, Kinchens, Balom, Washington appear in a fight for 2nd team reps at S.

QB:
-King looks good

RB:
-Harris was wearing an arm sleeve thing
-Chaney looks like he's rounding into form

WR:
-Lot of rotating. Nothing much to glean. Sorry.

TE:
-Arroyo was out there with the 1s in a 12 set.

OL:
-1: Williams-Rivers-Gaynor-Donaldson-Scaife
-2: Herbert-Hillery-Traore-Griffith-Oluwasuen
-Oluwasuen was with the 1s at RT at one point.
 
People always seem to forget that Finley was completely lost at safety under Banda, then got moved to Striker under Patke and played so well that everyone was concerned when we lost him. Then Frierson picked right up where Finley left off and Keontra played so good as a back-up he could be the starter at WLB. But year.........Patke sucks.
I'm pretty sure people say patke is like a football genius. Like he sees stuff differently than others do. He's the reason we have striker.

Some highlights:

On punt return Tyrique Stevenson and Xavier Restrepo “look very comfortable” and are the main two in the mix. Daz Worsham has been good, too

On kickoff return Patke said the main guys are Mike Harley, Key’Shawn Smith and Xavier Restrepo. " We roll a lot of guys back there, (Charleston) Rambo had a good return in the scrimmage.”

“Keontra plays big. He hits offensive linemen and they go backward.”

Patke says what he’s stressing to the linebackers most is “we have to stop the run.”

sounds like tackling was an issue on Sunday. Patke mentioned that it's always a challenge in the first scrimmage but he expects tackling to be better in the second. also feels like they did a good job stopping the run on Sunday.
