Here's the
link to the Scrimmage stats.
A couple of thoughts on today's scrimmage.
Offense
QB-
Hawk looked great. Just a couple mistakes, including one interception to Jalil Brown. We are good to go with our starter. Now the backup may be in question imo.
Tyler Hansen did a great job today. He's a real threat to run the ball too. The only criticizm was he may be too quick to tuck the ball and run. But he was pretty fun to watch running the ball.
Ballenger did well too. Made really good decisions, and made some plays. Great touch on the ball, and can tuck it and run too. He's not as quick imo as Hansen. But a threat nonetheless.
RB-
Sumler had a average day. Not great, but not terrible either. They really tooled around with the Oline today so it's hard to tell really.
Darrell Scott did real well. He's such a strong kid. He can push the pile.
Stewart did well. Had some decent runs early. Real shifty, and seems to have the vision. The game seems to be slowing down for him a little. He should steadily progress as the season goes on. It'll be fun to watch.
Polk didn't see much time in this scrimmage. A couple of plays but not alot really.
TE-
Geer had kind of a quiet day. He made some catches here and there, but its what we've come to expect from him. He's a great athlete, and a great weapon for Hawk and staff.
Ryan Deehan had a good scrimmage also. Looks really big. He catches everything in site and doesn't go down on first contact. He's going to play for sure imo.
Wallace also showed well, but looks really thin. Someone around me said he might have a chance to see PT because of his height. Which makes sense. He's more of a WR type of TE. And like Deehan he catches anything in site. But it might make more sense to RS him. Just throwing out options. :smile2:
WR-
McKnight had the best day out of all the wr's. The kid is a scrapper. He'll make his share of big plays this year. He's quickly becoming one of my favorite players on the squad. He's fun to watch. And has a great attitude. Stay healthy Scotty, we need you.
Patrick Williams is having another great camp. I hope it translates on gameday.
Jfly made some nice catches out there. He's becoming one of the best and he's only a sophmore. Did anyone see
Celestine's catch! WOW! this kid has the talent. He should be a gamer.
Cody Crawford made a nice grab in practice. I think he was hurt all of last year. No?
OL- Kind of had a shaky day. Allowed some sacks early on. Nothing to panic about really. I mentioned earlier that there were alot of different people being mixed in the middle. I even saw
Blake Behrens lining up at center. Hmm. Never saw him line up there, but it could work. Speaking of center,
Girthy messed a couple shotgun snaps up. Not many though. But mistakes we can't afford with our current schedule.
MTM looks like a SR out there. Good lord that kid is a beast. He and
Head should be the starters. But don't count
Bahr out.
Miller and Solder put in their solid work like usual. Overall not a great day. But not bad either.
