Thanks for that.  

I can't believe Gardner has recovered so well from his injury!  He's up and throwing already.  Wow, Mike Barwis must be a rehab god to get him to that point.  After seeing how severe his injury was after the last game he played in, I thought he might never play again.

I was thinking he'd be better served practicing not getting mauled by run blockers.  The opportunities for a DE to pick off a pass aren't that common.  Assuming the 1.5 minutes of that video included each drill the team practiced, which is a safe assumption, I think I've pinpointed the defense's problems.  The lineman are practicing catching passes while the DBs are practicing shedding blockers.  GERG needs to realize those drills should be switched.

Numerous times Cam has proven he didn't have speed to play FS. While trying to chase down Rudolph, the fumble recovery for touchdown against Indiana just two I can remember off the top of my head. 

Love him at the hybrid position though, he hits hard and looks like a good blitzer.

I listened to the post-game presser after watching that. A couple interesting notes included RR saying there were times this season where they thought about playing Furman, but he's glad that he will be able to redshirt and thinks he will be a good player. Also mentioned Richard Ash as someone who could be good down the road.

Did anyone else notice how small the ball looked in DG's hands?  Dude's got some huge mitts.  Also, I didn't see Tate getting into the rotation.  I saw Denard then DG then Denard again.  Hopefully that doesn't mean anything.

I was there (high school coaches were invited) and Tate only participated in the exchange drills, he threw maybe 2 passes all practice. When he ran, he sort of held his right arm close to his body. Also, he didn't participate in the hour long scrimmage, Gardner took the 2nd team snaps, Kennedy took the 3rd team snaps, and Gallon got a few snaps simulating Reif. My assumption was that it's nothing major since he was standing alonside for all the drills and took reps when they were installing plays at the start

new uniforms. We have really expanded the color scheme. I did not get to see the helmets however. I am also pretty pumped we are going to be able to use horses on the field. Can you imagine the speed of a Denard ridden horse? Blinding.

Good post! I am off to Macy's to purchase the new unis.

Watching these videos is as satifsfying for me as Spongebob is for my kids. Like crack for the eyes.

Why does an ad producer think guys with their collar up will make another guy want to do anything but punch said guys in the face let alone buy something? Also, POLO has to be the worst cologne on the planet with the exception of Old Spice.

According to RR presser they will apply for a medical redshirt for Gardner. Why was he practicing?
