Blades, Chantz Williams, Miller, Traore, Oluwaseun, Dunson, Clarke, All these guys have contributed or started in a ton of games. Yet I haven't really heard much about them at all. Anyone seen them in practice and are there any positive updates? I was hoping Blades would be back in full force. But so far I've heard virtually nothing about him.

Also super curious about Chase Smith. Caleb Johnson finally mentioned him in a recent press briefing and saif some positive things. But I am surprised more hasn't been discussed. Is he really on 210 still, like the roster shows?

I think Blades is practicing almost full time at safety.

I've read some good things about Dunson and Chantz Williams.

I think Oluwaseun is in the mix for a starting job, or at least the first guy off the bench.

Don't trust the measurables on the UM roster at all. They have not been updated.

D$, have you guys ever thought about coordinating a CanesInsight tailgate?
 
I posted this in another thread but would love to hear from D$

Anyone else find it odd how little we hear about Jonathan Denis??

Is he hurt? We obviously brought him from Oregon for a reason but he is never in any updates. I remember recruiting him and it was a big miss for us..

He's playing all over the line (C, OG, even OT) but the injury set him back a bit. Still working his way into shape.

Not gonna lie... I would drive by a few times and make sure I haven't been chatting with the biggest nerds on planet earth before I walked up. I may have an over under on the number of jean shorts, mullets, face tats and missing teeth. Under were good... over gonna have to keep on walking. LOL

I would say that Clarke and Traore are two guys who have played a lot and may be on the outside looking in of the rotation right now. Miller is still in the mix at DT but facing heavy competition.

Appreciate you dropping a sample on the block.. If they move Clarke will be interesting what combo they come up with to get best 5 on the field.. I think both lines will be pleasant surprises as season move along

Why did you just describe a University of Florida tailgate?
