The Bank (scrimmage edition)

Rivers will start at G once Nelson is back.

Heard the same from coaches who have watched our film.

It’s hard to evaluate coaches in a vacuum (a lot goes into on-field performance) but the DBs regressed mightily and were the biggest reason we struggled so bad tackling.

So far in practice, they look much improved under Addae. The real test will be games.

Recruiting is a different story. TRob is the best.

Should we worry about Addae in that regard

Good reporting as always! O line and linebacker sound concerning, but it is what it is and has been addressed in recruiting. Physicality in general being up is music to my ears. We played flag football last year.

Tough cognitive dissonance happening with the Leonard Taylor situation. He showed a few flashes when he played but I don’t think I’ve ever heard him mentioned standing out a single time in any practice ever. Alarm bells going off there. By now we should have seen something.

No need for alarm bells on Taylor. He started and did his thing. I like the progress for a second-year player at an age position.

Kam Kitchens needs to start and play the most at DB

 

[skyman]

Also was a fan of Markeith film coming out, good to see him making a lil noise.. He look like Pope in video I saw earlier but luckily his position we dont need to push him out there before he is ready. Get him a year in S&C and like a normal program we can bring him along naturally

I heard addae has told people he’s only going to be here a year or two. I’m sure that doesn’t help with recruiting. But from what I’ve heard he sure can coach. Need DVD to help step it up with our db recruiting.

Wr’s couldn’t get open and the Te’s had a quiet day. That’s something to keep an eye on imo. I would’ve hoped Gattis had some plays for them if the Wr position was disappointing. If Will or Arroyo is being blanketed by Flagg and Steed we’re fucced

 

[AUcane]

Reports sounded like Caleb Johnson was the next linebacker we had. Interesting he didn’t start, but not going to read too much into it only 1 scrimmage in.

He'll start game 1, if not game 3 and the rest of the way.

 

[cway313]

I’ve heard a few times from inside the building that T-Rob wasn’t as good a coach as billed.

I have a hard time believing that, since the minute he put his name in the hat, he ended up at Bama under Sabag and is back to reeling in 5* kids.

I now wonder if there really is some truth to this, since post Robinson, the DB’s are really stepping up.

Any thoughts here @DMoney?

In reality Saban could have hired anybody to coach DBs and they would have had similar success. Bama signs 5* DBs every year.

@DMoney 20 days out what are your season predictions?

@DMoney 20 days out what are your season predictions?

This feels like 2016 Miami or 2018 Oregon to me. Established QB, holes that need to be filled in recruiting.

We will be better but I look for the big leap in Year 2.

 

[brock]

I’m looking forward to frierson having a really big year

 

[swampcougar1]

Mallory not mentioned. Is he being passed because of unsound blocking?

Easing into camp because of his shoulder. He will be big part of this offense.

 

[MiamiBusiness]

So is Steed back at WLB? He was MLB in the spring.

 

[WestEndZone]

Who are the biggest surprises at this point?

 

[CANEMC]

They've been the best because they've had talent all over, and they poured resources into football, and cheated to buy recruits.

In the NFL only 3 of the top 15 DT's are from the SEC.

Clemson has 3 by themselves. So maybe Moten looks like a Clemson DT.

Makes sense since Veneables recruited him hard to Clemson and then Oklahoma. His senior tape made me a believer.

Hopefully the difference of being able to heavily utilize the portal buys us a 10th win and division championship compared to those seasons.

 

[Canes2800]

I think we will have an elite defense. We have size, speed, & athleticism at all three levels of the defense. Plus our defensive coaching staff is ridiculous & bringing a whole different intensity level here. I’m excited about that side of the ball from a personnel & coaching aspect.

 

[BostonCanes47]

Receivers gonna make or break this team it feels like.

And Oline health
