Football today!

An oasis in the desert. Enjoy it. As usual QB play will be an area of interest.

 

[History Geek]

I think your bot is one day off.

 

[Palatine]

Yeah, it's tomorrow but I'm not deleting, just got tooooo jacked up!

 

[Skiblets]

So this place keeps track of total messages. It's too bad there's no ratio that shows total threads started divided by total messages posted. Pal would lead the pack.

Why is the QB play an area of interest? I thought Pindell is the front runner for QB1.

 

[huskymedic]

Yup...

I wanna watch ASU. Opening day of the circus

 

[RSTuthill]

What will interest me is the format of the game. Anything other than ones vs ones will immediately cause concern in my mind. I remember the year a certain HC -- who shall remain nameless on this board but who was noted for his sartorial splendor in the nether regions -- played the ones vs the twos and ran about ten plays from the two yard line to start the game. If something suitably weird like that happens this year, I am gonna curb my enthusiasm for the remainder of the pre-season and make other long term plans for the fall.

 

[CTMike]

Offense will look better than the defense and there will be much hand wringing.

 

[TMB4405]

I would not get your hopes up for something resembling a normal contest. A lot of rumblings about thin roster, injuries along the line etc. I am betting this will be a glorified practice. It sucks but Edsall is always conservative.

No attack here TMB4405, just curious of when or what team you ever saw that played a win at all cost final practice that is the spring game? I agree with the fact Randy is conservative but in this situation it has absolutely nothing to do with him preventing injuries in a meaningless practice game.

Enjoy tomorrow for what it is and bring RSTuthill along. A day that finally feels like spring and a chance to continually hone our tailgating skills.

 

[TMB4405]

I don’t really care all that much. Was just responding to someone who was asking what the format was going to be.

I do think coaches over think this a bit. It’s football players playing football 4.5 months until the first game. IMO just play a realistic game to let your guys (particularly young guys) get some game speed reps.

But I don’t take it as an attack and like I said I do not care alll that much. I wish I could tailgate but my kids have a softball game in morning. Will be there for noon though.

Two things I want to see are, how quick and fast are the linebackers running to the sidelines. Can they run down the running backs coming around the edge. This was a weakness especially against Virginia last year. Also can the tightends actually catch a ball and hold on to it in traffic. Six to seven years of dropping football with regularity are enough already.

Also lets watch the pass rush. If we have no pass rush I think we are doooooooooooooooooooomed.

 

[coachcap]

Have to work today, so no excursion to the RENT for me. Expect a full report tonight. Here's a thought from a past spring game. Saw this young frosh linebacker intercept 3 passes & return them for touchdowns. That Scott Lutrus kid turned out to be a decent player.

Best spring game ever

So far about 45 cars in the lot. If you are looking for Block C merchandise there isn't any.

 

[RSTuthill]

The JI this morning says ones will play against ones. How many of the ones who are currently fit to go is a legitimate question, but next man up, as they say. It also implies that the QB's will be under center most of the time today so things are gonna look a bit different. The O is likely less evolution than we thought. Sounds like there has been some thought about chewing up some clock on O rather than rushing through their series with the result that the D gets out there sooner than desired.

Hey, how did I get int the middle of this?

This is the first warm day of the year though. No tailgating for me. Just too much to do. Taxes, yard, car. Will be in my seat for the KO with craft beer in hand, though.

 

[firstnline]

Have the lineup card in front of me and the only seniors on it are Mayala, Beals and Pindell. All others are Frosh and Sophs.

 

[firstnline]

The Frosh are redshirt frosh

While Washington is here on sideline - he’s not throwing passes to receivers on the field @ this point.
