Spring PractiSe 12 - No Media Access and Interviews

Scaife is not a RT. Zion has not even played at a high enough level this Spring for him. You can have 2 contacts watching practice and tell you 2 different things. It is nuts.

I've said it before. Scaife should be at center. He's not built to stop rush ends at RT, and he's a good but not great OG. I think he has a pro future just at center. And that would solve our interior size issue a little too, as Clark is capped. So a quality RT portal kid would upgrade two spots, not just one.

I expect Zion to be really good this year, lock down LT. He isn't the day 1 kid some guys on here were claiming even when he was getting steamrolled as a true freshman. But he's got all the tools to be very good now. This is his time to shine.

Always thought Davis' future was at LB. Glad to hear he's developing on the line tho. Ain't the last time I'll be wrong lol.

Davis can be a great rush specialist. But he is not going to start at Miami as a DE. He's not so elite that he can overcome his height issues. Nothing wrong with being a specialist, we need one. But fewer snaps and no possibility to have a shot at the league. So if Davis wants to start, I agree with you that he needs to develop as an ILB.

Sounds like when a CEO becomes a CEO emeritus, or moves to a board seat. It's a graceful way to put him out to pasture. Just what it sounds like, I've no inside info on the matter. Promoting someone into obsolescence can be quite effective. I would guess he "retires" in 1-2 years. Let's see.

I would hope so because he's basically senile at this point. I love Vinnie because I've known him most of my adult life. But it's also very worriesome to me to see him in any sortve oversight position if it has power behind it. Because the things he's doing are borderline criminal

Tvd didn’t look like that in spring or fall Lol. He also didn’t look like that early on in his little pt. He had some moments against Virginia but nothing like what he became as the year went on. Nobody saw that coming.

King was easily the best option. Anyone that saw practice would tell you that. Maybe if we start Tvd early against Bama he takes some bumps but bounces back with the same season. But there’s the other side he gets overwhelmed and confidence is broken from the early schedule.

Imo the season worked out perfect in the long run. The stars aligned. We lost enough to get manny fired , which got Mario before the huge buyout, but still had positivity going into the offseason with a returning stud qb. Tvd took his lumps and built confidence with no pressure in meaningless games.

people have some real revisionist history, for 2.5 quarters vs UVA he was very pedestrian. It really wasnt till about the NCST game that he started to turn the corner, and the game slowed down for him

He definitely had some really good series against UVA and UNC, but you are correct that NCSU felt like the first game that TVD was in control from beginning to end. But boy TVD did enough to win the UVA and UNC games.

Man, Finebaum is the biggest SEC nutlicker of em all. I have to turn the channel every time I see that little penishead. I consider myself a very tolerant person of other’s opinions but I cannot stand listening to him. In particular.

It's hilarious how the rednecks in the south eat his **** up. He's probably the least athletic, nerdy guy ever. I don't know how he has a single listener.

People on here really just don't comprehend what they're watching. All I'm gonna say is thank God for those fans that Rambo and the deep ball combined with some very hurt up mediocre acc defenses came into account.

and that Pitt game, we were all like...'Hold on. We got something here!!'

You can second and third guess Manny all you want, but there's no way that anyone but King should've started the Bama game.

I backed you. The coaches thought more of tvd than the board did

I'm no insider like all you guys. But I was one of a large group who agreed with you. The Jake tribe was just extremely vocal. .

Also, as I know you know, it's not binary. Just because TVD is better than Garcia right now doesn't mean Garcia can't be an elite QB in his own right down the road. These are rich men's problems. I'm a bigtime believer in what Garcia can bring to this team. Just not in 2022.

What I will tell you is the last staff coming into last camp was alot higher on Jake. And honestly right now I'm still higher on Jake too. They both still have their share of pluses and minuses. But Jake's upside is huge. Tyler is definitely the better pure passer but that's assuming he keeps progressing. He still has ALOT to learn AS HE SHOULD. His intangibles and his leadership qualities are off the charts. But his progressions and intermediate throws,his pocket presence leave alot to be desired. It's very important to remember he hasn't even started a full season & he played in a very QB friendly offense against bad coaching and average talent throughout the conference. I'm praying he keeps progressing and becoming what we all want out of him. But expectations can break a kid easily when that pressure adds up. Let's just slow down on the anointment stuff a lil. Let's see what he grows into.
