Official Spring Practice Thread

I'd say the biggest place we are lacking athletes is running back, OL, and DL. With the types of guys we recruit on the O-line, we need them to be looking more like Wisky linemen, and not these 295 lbers. Most of our guys aren't athletic enough to be successful playing small.

Trust me, there was plenty to be concerned about, namely the need for more athletes.

Chiv in charge.
They practice FAST. Everything. Periods are quick. Unit drills interspersed with 7s and thud 11s.
They even practice getting off the ground from prone position and running to the sidelines quickly.
They also practice how to practice fast.
Signals are more simple. Everything off a signal.
Lots of reps w/o substitutions.
Simulated drives, no subs. Get aligned. Run play. Get on ball. Run another play.
All TEs play in slot, either tight or mostly wide.
Not a single rep with TE in traditional position.
Very, very few sets with 2 RBs. Mostly 1 x 4 sets. Some slot motion to create trips but not much.
If there are two RBs, it’s usually Nixon who goes in motion to create slot or trips.
Tunnels, bubbles and hitches.
Lots of timing routes.
Montez shorter throwing motion.
WRs are big. Physical. Brown will play.
Some can separate. Some can’t.
They want the ball on the edge. In space. Bubbles, flares, hitches, tunnels out of 4 wide, sometimes stacked.
QBs practice bad snaps.
All QB drills are quick. Eyes, feet, release. Roper works them quick, quick, quick.
RBs are small except Bish. Fontenot plus back. Others meh.
Running plays are simple. Not many reads.
Lots of pulling. Guards are nimble.
OTs questionable
Can’t really tell much about OL without contact, rather than thud.
Blackoutboyz strut. They like Chiv.
Ambrose and DL coach are good. Intense.
Jones looks the part, but Not nimble. Stiff. Project. Needs to step up game.
Edwards is slimmer. Still needs to drop.
Sami is a monster.
Bernardi has limited role.
Lang is big. Can add weight.
Falo can play. Mustafa can play. Davion can play.
CBs got a ways to go.
Moretti out there.
Situational drives, including spikes and FGs, RZ runs, trapping on STs.
Some key players held out. Precautionary.
Who are the leaders???
Good crowd. Friendly support staff.
Very organized practice.
I didn’t go inside as they finished practice.
You like fast? You’ll like 18 Buffs.
More athletes that past, but many more needed.

It’s a 5-4 or 4-5 conference win team.
MM is not the long term answer.

...every year for the last 10.
 
That's another scholly. GRAD TRANSFER NOW.


Per the post practice interview, Jay had a lisfranc injury and a separate broken bone in is foot.

HCMM is def bummed about Miller. Doesn't close the door on his return, but definitely leaning towards the kid being done.

That is rough. Saw the Rice grad transfer chose Texas this weekend.

Maybe a late JUCO grad is an option? Basically do not have a two-deep at OT right now.

There were some OLs uncommitted from ASA College in Brooklyn the last time I checked. Adams did make a trip there and we had a few offers out. I think a couple of their guys weren't graduating until May.
 
So, they call it “The Spring Showcase.” How much “Spring Game” will there be?
 
Terrible news for Isaac Miller. Body just won’t cooperate.

Also very disappointed in our OL recruiting. We just shouldn’t have this many holes this far into MikeMac’s tenure. Really frustrating, especially considering we have pretty decent talent in a lot of other areas.
 
Would anyone be interested in a 6'6 290-300 lb; Left Tackle, with 2 years eligibility left, was a consensus 3-star high school recruit that sign a P5 LOI after having at least 4 offers reported from P5 programs; but would also be willing to walk-on?

...if so, then you just met your backup LT who has been practicing with the team since June of 2017: Jack Shutack
