Saturday practice buzz

Any chance Mammarelli ends up on the line? Make take the Zion plan to become a tackle?

It would also be nice to see Mammarelli in some 2 TE sets as the blocking TE. Could also set up some nice redzone and short yardage play-action plays where he chips (fake blocks) and is wide open because everyone expects the other TE to get the ball. Kind of like teams do with a play-action pass to a FB.

Not a bad thought. I see some of CIS with laughter, but Prow Bowl Jason Peters formerly of my Philadelphia Eagles was a TE at Arkansas. Never played OT until the practice squad in the NFL. It can be done.

I’m from Iowa and they recruited Robert Gallery as a TE but switched him to tackle as a sophomore I believe. I have no idea on if he is better suited as a TE or an olineman. I was just curious if anyone else had any ideas especially if our other TE are performing well.

Top tier guys go from lower programs to higher ones.

G5 to p5 or low p5 to more elite teams.

Evaluation is key. Some guys make the transition much better than others. I agree that bonafide, proven p5 impact players are much harder to find. You usually end up projecting.

Everyone on CIS is projecting the current roster based on 1 day of real contact and a few tidbits of information.

Let's see who emerges thru Spring practices. We'll have a clearer picture then.

I'm from Iowa as well. Grew up in Marshalltown.

Didn't realize Gallery was originally a TE.

Eric Winston says hello. Came to UM as a blocking tight end and left as a great left tackle.

(Long sigh) Yeah I don’t know what happened here but Mario might have played this one wrong.

I don’t think it was mario’s decision, nesta said he did what he thought was best for him

He had a few catches as a redshirt freshman and then switched to tackle. I live in the Des Moines area.

I like the idea of an athletic tackle who may not be athletic enough to play TE.

Perryman never played at 250 at UM....He was 220 coming in as a frosh....might have been 235 Tops as a Sr...

This is wrong.

He definately did.

Spring GAME...his Junior year...states he weighs 253 to @gogeta4 after the game. 250 **** 3 i was in shock. he likely got it down to 240 for the szn

Also, Eric Winston

Also, Eric Winston

put some respect on Carlos Etheridge's name!!

 

[252cane]

Your weight approximates are virtually all off. Way off on DP as SWFL pointed out

No they are not. Perryman said in a interview here himself that he was 250 as a jr. He lost weight and got down to 235 for the pro day. The rest of the weights are what guys are listed or have said themselves

Hard time believing that....

Wrong sir Perryman said in a interview here his sr year that he played at about 250 as a jr. He played at 242 his sr year

 

[252cane]

Hard time believing that....

Don’t know why Perryman was a big as **** his last 2 years here

 

[SWFLHurricane]

Don’t know why Perryman was a big as **** his last 2 years here

Nate Webster at his HEAVIEST....was only 240 @ 6'0....hard time believing Denzell was at 250 at 5'9 1/2 regardless of what he said....

 

[twes.305]

Nate Webster at his HEAVIEST....was only 240 @ 6'0....hard time believing Denzell was at 250 at 5'9 1/2 regardless of what he said....

He’s 5’11

 

[SWFLHurricane]

He’s 5’11

No...Nate was a legitimate 6'0...I'm 6'0....and have stood next to him hundreds of times....unless you meant Denzell...

No sir olave is way faster. At osu he consistently ran past people and ran a 4.39 40. George ain’t running close to that. I would like to know where urban finds these wrs cause all them dudes are running 4.3

They found Olave by accident. They were scouting somebody else and Olave impressed them.

 

[Rickd]

If Don Chaney is healthy my money is still on him being #1 rb with Thad and Knighton getting equal 2nd team reps. That would be the perfect three back rotation for me this season.

What about Citizen? Might be one of the best overall backs on the roster.

Olave is 187 lbs now he ran a 4.73 in HS at 160 lbs ..some kids get faster once they get stronger at the next level ...George added some bulk it will be interesting to see if he gained more speed...
