The Bank (camp edition 8/10)

[Macca]

I would like to see JW used like ND used Kyle Hamilton last year. Line him up everywhere and make the offense account for him after coming to the line.

Good call. That kid could play. Would love to see that happen.

 

[LuCane]

I would agree, was referring to the regular season. I think a random in conference L is likely. @ VT (probably highest chance) or @UVA, or god forbid @ GT.

I’m optimistic we’ll hold serve at home

You take that **** back. I plan to go to GT this year. After the BC debacle a few years ago, I had sworn off traveling with the program until it got its **** together. It ruins my entire weekend when we’re holding an L in some city. Figured I’d tip-toe back in with Atlanta this season.

 

[LuCane]

Why not rivers at rt and scaife inside

I wouldn’t mind seeing this experiment: Zion/Campbell/Clark/Scaife/Rivers. But, considering how different our blocking schemes will be this year, it’s a complete guess for those of us who don’t watch practice every day.

Rooster is our best pass catching running back until proven otherwise , he’s done it in acc games at a high level

That might be our best line up

I assume you mean Nelson.

Surgery was just after the 4th of July weekend. Let's assume the end of that week, July 8th.

His timeline is 6-8 weeks. 6 weeks would be August 19th. 8 weeks would be September 2, essentially right at Week 1.

So I think aggressively he's practicing for a couple weeks and potentially playing Week 1, definitely by Week 2 and is close to or at 100% by A&M.

Conservatively, he misses Week 1 for sure, probably Week 2, and will be iffy for A&M.

Either way, unless he has a setback, we should have him for 80% of the season, at worst. And there's certainly a chance he misses no time, or possibly just the Bethune scrimmage.

Rather have him 80% of the season at 100% than 100% of the season at 80%

 

[grover]

Any word on Chase Smith? How is Blade’z doing?

 

[QSTOKES]

My best guess now is Zion-Rivers-Clark-Logan-Scaife. But Rivers at tackle is an intriguing option.

Zion
Logan or justice
Clark
Campbell or scaife
Rivers
??

 

[Cribby]

The Ol will look dramatically better with the run just off the scheme. They’ll be playing down hill for the first time.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Heck. Yes. I’m ready to run my head through a car window a la Lattimer from The Program.

School parking lot probably isn’t the place for that but it’s the feeling, fellas.

GREAT SCENE.

 

[jsy]

yes

Player per player our roster is better than pitt
Our coaches are better (this is the top staff in the acc)
So if pitt wins double digits but we don’t that’s a huge failure

Nah, man, Shemar Moore is a MUCH better actor than Nyjalik Kelly is...

I laughed out loud

Hit me up, my brother and I are here in the A. I’ll have a whisky ready for you. Or a beer. Whatever works, brother.

 

[HOLISTIC CANE]

I hate playing A&M so early in the season (away) but hopefully we will come out of the gates fast.

I agree. I think coming out fast and physical early will set the tone for the game. It’s a mind set and if coach Cristobal can get the team’s mindset dialed in before kickoff, that could spell upset for atm.

I put down 1k on Miami and the upset. I think the team makes a statement this game for their coach.

Same. Gotta find a way to get John Campbell on the field if he’s putting it together now

 

[JHallCanes]

Any word on Chase Smith? How is Blade’z doing?

Good question on Blades

Would be a huge boost to get him back in the mix especially with this defensive scheme

 

[plantcity3]

 

[rayray]

Antonio Johnson, he plays Safety, but he also lines up at CB as well sometimes.

He was the highest graded Safety in the SEC last year.

to me this guy is more or less what we want James Williams to look like



if you watch this full game cut up vs Arkansas he looks a bit exploitable in coverage especially in space, but he makes a ton of plays when blitzing and supporting the run and makes his fair share of plays in coverage too.



he will be an interesting game plan for Gattis if his offense indeed uses TEs and RBs heavily in the passing game

He was a kid i wanted us to offer when he was coming out..think he is from the same high school as Jeff Thomas

 

[Bird4um]

Agreed. But even by committee you still usually have a standout. If that standout is Citizen like DMoney hinted at - wow. We have to expect a transfer or two going into 2023, right?

A starting freshman RB is bad news for that room. Especially with no 23 recruits. He’ll have to go by committee.
