Camp update from Sam Webb
Pretty good stuff, as always.
From his "Inside the Sub" series, this one is free.
If Ulizio has really inserted himself into the mix at RT, that is outstanding news. Would mean at least another viable contender (and depth) at that spot. CB race is going to be so interesting, but as a poster in another thread mentioned, Metellus locking down the other safety spot has to be one of the best developments this spring/fall. Funny I don't think I've heard Glasgow's name once during this camp, after so much visibility in the spring.
In the comments there's a minor panic about a Hurst injury, but it seems to have been talked down.

Are you breaking out the Joey....

I should tell her about the time i went backpacking through europe.
August 19th, 2017 at 8:33 PM ^
What???
August 19th, 2017 at 8:47 PM ^
Yeah, I would have assumed with almost 100% certainty that somewittyname was male. Um, progress I guess?
August 19th, 2017 at 9:33 PM ^
And you'd be 100% right, regardless of what it says.

Ulizio has the measurables and is very aggressive. He is a lunch pail type player who brings it every play. This is good news that he is in the mix.
August 20th, 2017 at 11:32 AM ^
For clarification CoverZero, are you saying he brings his lunch pail with him on every play? Is that legal? What does he have in his lunch pail, grit or gritz? Film room guy, just a guy or a Don Brown Guy? Coach on the field or just on the field?

Your commitment to getting negged in this thread is impressive. Who was keeping track of these stats? This has to be up there for most negs...

Nobody is, was, or will say it isn't a concern! The difference between Witty and everyone else - Witty says that a 3rd person pushing for the job is bad, everyone else thinks its good. That's the only friggen difference in what's being said! That in itself is fine. The negs come with his attitude that everyone else is wrong because we don't agree with him. To me, he sounds like a drunk asshat...

Here's a hint for somewittyname. "Not trying to be a dick in the slightest, but" is usually a reliable indicator of the penile nature of what follows the preface.

and the villain of this thread? They're jumping on one little line from Sam and seem to be completely ignoring Sam's disclaimer. I should also point out that Ulizio has been in this competition all along. Drevno about 10 days ago said the RT competition was between JBB and Ulizio.
Isaac running with the ones in practice is another positive sign. But as I said regarding other positions, I’d hesitate to look at as a definitive sign of the expected hierarchy. Many fans incorrectly assumed that Chris Evans had lost ground in the race when word of Higdon getting run with the ones came out recently. Don’t make the same premature mistake twice. Just take this to be a positive sign Isaac’s growth.

He probably, like, practiced and lifted weights so he could get better and stronger.
It was tough though, because the 3-stars have to wait until the good players are done in the weight room before they can use it in between cleaning the gym and massaging 4+-star players.

Khaleke Hudson is not Jabrill Peppers, except he is Jabrill Peppers.

But hopefully, our corners will be more athletic and be able to get off their blocks and blow up the screens. Also, having speed from the LB spots will help as well. Plus our D Line may pick off a couple at the LOS.
In the famous words of Mr. McFadden & Mr. Whitehead:
"Ain't No Stoppin Us Now!!"
GO BLUE!!

True. He and Black will be starting soon if not right off. They are both freak athletes.
August 19th, 2017 at 7:05 PM ^

I feel like I remember a reputable source saying that Long had locked in one of the starting CB spots. Doesn't seem like that's the case according to Sam.

Will tide me over until UMBig11's next camp notes which I always hope comes sooner than later.
August 19th, 2017 at 7:14 PM ^
All I see is good news. Lots of competition at many positions.
August 19th, 2017 at 7:36 PM ^
Is you beautiful avatar eyes, why the frown though.
August 19th, 2017 at 7:44 PM ^
Long story.
August 19th, 2017 at 7:20 PM ^
Hudson will be a better overall run stopper than Peppers.
Kurt Taylor will see a lot of carries during his career here but is probably in line for a redshirt this season. Sam's note of his running vision is why I think he'll be able to make positive yards. He's not going to be a home run threat but is going to be steady and reliable.

If kurt taylor rushes for over 100 yards ever in a game you can make my points -99999999.
August 20th, 2017 at 8:33 AM ^
Derrick Green had not one but two games over a hundred years and we all know he didn't work out. All it takes is one game at home against a cupcake.
And that's assuming Taylor doesn't work out--it's way too early to say that. If he ends up in the Vincent Smith role, he'll get his chance at carrying the ball.
August 19th, 2017 at 7:25 PM ^
Those Hurst injury rumors are scaring me.
