Alright!! Like seeing some real nose to nose action.

Merton Hanks Like. I just hope doesn't do that dangly neck swinging dance after he makes a big play. I hated when Hanks did that against my Cowboys.

I did that in pop-warner practice the first year I played. I ran so many laps after ... ahhhhh memories. In my defense.. the coach said don't ever let me see any of you doing some deion sanders crap out here

Don’t know whether to be happy or concerned at how Peart manhandled Fine.

I was more concerned with that right hand grabbing that far back on the jersey

 

[Exit 4]

Looks like that was Rose with the TD catch.

Let’s keep in mind Peart has a chance to a be a draft pick.

 

[uconnphil2016]

Holman dominated Terry. Wow. Fines got embarrassed lol. They need to stop showing wide open completed passes in these videos, it makes me worry

 

[UCFBfan]

I had high hopes for Holman but after reading that Courant article about him, I questioned what his purpose was for being here. Watching that video, and seeing him block like that, made me see why the coaches keep him and push him. He could be a blocking beast if he can commit himself to football for two more seasons.

Defensive end

 

[Duncan Idaho]

They both lost by allowing leverage underneath the armpits. Holman is 35lbs more than Terry

Aaron McLean being more open that Gronk on every play in the Spring Game was a concern...

+1.

I think there is little doubt Peart is playing Sundays.

Think of it this way. If Fine stops getting manhandled by Peart, we may have something there.

I also don't think we should expect anything from Fines. There are plenty of guys who play at big time programs who are not talented football players. We've had lots of big time transfers who have actually seen the field at power house programs and who haven't been stars here, so why should we expect Fines to be great? I think if he is an average starter it will be a pleasant surprise, but I don't really think we need him

Fines is an insurance policy on the fab freshman four that Edsall can’t stop talking about. My expectation is that Fines takes 20 to 30% of the snaps because there is no way freshman can be every down players for 12 games. He might not have the ceiling of the freshman four, but he should be better than most of the guys we already had.

Maybe the two deep for UCF will be:
T. Jones / Okounam
Caleb Thomas / Murphy or Fines
Atkins (Edsall said he took his game to another level this spring/summer) / the best of Uguak, Pace or Pierce.

The other thing is that I can’t see Fines at DE. He’s too big and prob lacks the speed and athleticism. So he’ll be competing for reps at NT with some solid players in Murphy, Thomas, T Jones.

Bookmark this to re-examine our UCF game night. I’m guessing it will be pretty close, especially if all hoopla about Jones is true.

I don't know if Jones is going to be in good enough shape to start games. He needs to drop 20-30 lbs.

DL coach Dottin Carter and Edsall have both said he's in great shape and does not need to lose weight. They said he's quick and really muscular, and may even line up at DE for us sometimes. If we can pull that off, that'd be ideal, as we have way more depth at NT than DE.

well if that's the case then that's good news. I can't wait to see him after 3 years of the weight training program.

Seriously. I think the quote is from the interview with Dennis Dottin Carter posted on Matt S twitter account if you're interested. Like you, I wondered if he would be more of a Felton Blackwell kind of case where he's huge coming in but totally out of shape, but doesn't seem to be his story. If he can play at 6 ft 4 and 350 pounds, then we will have a great shot at causing havoc in the 3-3-5.

Edsall on Jones @ 16sec. mark:

Edsall on DL

Edsall on Jones @ 16sec. mark:

I had seen that already, and I have talked to people who saw him play at Cross. All are pretty unanimous— he can’t miss. But I haven’t seen him play yet. I can’t wait.

There are times I listen to HCRE and think he knows he’s got something. He just talks and look differently without showing too much excitement.

To me, he knows he’s got the making of a special d line for years to come.
