Summer Workouts
Dwumfour being able to hold his own this season would be huge.
Anybody that has seen video or pics of O’Mary Samuels knows why the S&C coach loves that dude!
He looked like a 5th year Senior when he walked in the door!!!
The addition of Scott Turner and Pep Hamilton have created some buzz regarding new route trees and schemes.
This last thing mentioned is actually one of the things I am most interested in - I was pretty excited about the Pep Hamilton hire just because of what it seems it might do to the overall use of WRs in this offense.
As Night King points out, we have a lot of viable options there. I'd even add Gentry and Isaac in there.
I think he's the best RB we have.
Might make sense as a way to get him the ball in space. Plus that gets two of your more dangerous weapons on the field at the same time in Evans and Higdon.
He might have an opinion on that.
I do not ever want to experience that again. Already I think Isaac is better than DG but I know that is not saying much...
Faux Mo, who was rumored to be departing? UMBig11, didn't you say there was another player a few weeks ago who was off the team that had not yet been announced?
So Cooper will be back? I guess people claiming Dantonio has tightened his disciplinary ways are full of shit.
He's one of the most ripped players we've had in recent history. Jabrill Peppers status
Dude is ripped like Serena.
...and has half the a$$!
...Samuels' can effectively find the creases and make the cuts, he may be difficult to redshirt. It will be fun to see what the final RB rotation looks like. We have a stable of very talented RBs.
I'm also anxious to see how Kurt Taylor develops. He's flying under the radar now, but I have a hunch he's going to be good.
Of course, lest we forget K. Walker... Higdon... etc...
It will be fun to see what the final RB rotation looks like.
the thing is the RB rotation will change over the course of the season. maybe you meant what the rotation looks like heading into those final few games or simply the order in which they break camp and enter florida prep.
its no secret this staff likes certain backs for certain plays and / or situations and theyve been clear about desire to spead out workload / hits so we should see a healthy rotation. if we see a "final rotation" at all though itd likely be down the stretch. but youre right, itll be fun to watch.
if the OL (and O in general) can crack open creases, they have enough RB talent to punish most Ds
This is why I don't know why people are excited to see his name on this list... He was already a workout warrior...his film and measureables are INSANE.
For me, the skill position players don't even need to be mentioned. This is about lineman and big bodies. Which of THOSE freshman have come in physically ready to play.
We're not going to learn much from skill position guys. We already knew this kid was an OMG SHIRTLESS and everything else. We knew Thomas was effing tiny. For those guys is more about being good at football. For lineman, you can be talented, but yes...you're going to need the measureables as well.
Can we get 1-2 freshman OL who are ready to push for time like Bredeson and Cole did? Sounds like Ruiz is 1...can we get an OT? On the DL, great news on Luiji...not so much on Aubrey. I'd love to know if Kwity Paye can get some snaps as a rush end.
We already knew Ben Mason was going to be a freak in summer workouts...but guys like Hudson and DIB? Can Paea get some snaps this year?
I'm far more interested in the big guys. Everyone else is just going to have to prove it on the field. You can be a 5'9 170 RB or a 6'4 240 RB and be successful. I don't know many 6'5 215 or 5'9 400lb lineman that are great...at some point you need some ideal height, weight, speed, strength to play those positions. Those are the guys who really have to build themselves up even if they want a shot at earning a shot.
247 is claiming the Filiaga came in and is in peak physical shape. Said it would not be a shock to see him have a Bredeson like impact his freshmen year.
THIS is what I liked to hear...I hope it's true because as a RT that would be HUGE for our future.
Maybe Rashan should play both ways???
/s
badass pic...it may be one of the more generic edits (at least from what ive seen posted here - theyve produced some crazy detailed material) but still dope.
that department does a damn fine job with the edits and marketing, etc (assuming thats the origin). im sure recruits dig it
over one report on summer S&C.
or panty-wetting.
This thread seems to be equal parts!
