Scrimmage at the Rent today?

[CTMike]

I really, really don't like hearing how much work our OL needs. We've had this nightmare way too many times. I hope they put it together but I'm very nervous.

I would be very nervous. Aside from a few moments, the O Line was horrid last year. Losing Crozier only makes the situation worse.

Solid report.... My take always if those observations are accurate:

1.) The screen pass is still our unicorn
2.) the oline is reason for concern
3.) D will be solid
4.) we have a promising QBof the future after this year

Basically the same thing we've already been experiencing the last half decade. Here we go!

Ok so a little over a week in Sherrifs has pretty much sowed up the #1 QB spot which is great news. The offense can cohere faster. We all knew the O-line was going to be a work in progress especially after losing the projected #1 center so they have what.....about 5 weeks to get it together before Missouri? Not a problem Defense is awesome...good to hear. So.... Verducci and Cummings have some work to do. Get er done!!

Umm, what about Villanova and Army?

 

[Husky25]

Just maybe our defense is the 85 Bears

But they had Walter Payton.

 

[Goofus]

I really hope we can redshirt Peart and maybe even Hashemi. They must have talent to be on the two deep at that size. A redshirt year to put on weight could give us four years of quality linemen.

Really makes me lament that I didn't recognize just HOW good we had it for sooooo long.

Knappe is still large

Warm ups for the Mizzou game ......

Did Jeff Jacobs tell you that? Because Coach Diaco certainly didn't.

 

[Waquoit]

Army is going to be so bad it's almost impossible to lose to them.

Stop, please

Opening Scrimmage Keeps Heat On UConn Line (Dez)

Agreed with Goofus. RS Hashemi and Peart and in addition I'd think about moving Ryslik to OL.

From a Fuller article in a separate thread:

>>Speaking of youth, I find it interesting that four of the five players on the second-team offensive line are guys either in their first or second year with the program as sophomore Steve Hashemi is at one guard, sophomore Trey Rutherford is at a tackle, redshirt freshman Dan Oak is the center and true freshman Matthew Peart is at tackle. The lone veteran is redshirt junior Kyle Bockeloh.<<

Not sure you can have it both ways though... Team needs the best players to be on the field to move program forward -- we don't have the luxury of stockpiling kids right now based on previous year "issues". I'm okay building for 2016 and beyond but the vast majority of the fan base isn't.

Do we have any older kids...between Edsall's last class and P's classes there aren't a lot of older lineman. Levy and Samra are it from P's classes and Edsall's last class the key OT was arrested on child pornography charges and tossed out of school before ever playing a down. At least they are up in the 300lb range again...when P was hired and got rid of Martin the program took a real dive S&C wise.

Yeah they are totally going to destroy Villanova.

Yeah, they are. Get used to it.

 

[Nostical]

Frustration is setting in.

Already? After one scrimmage? Frustrated? Really? Kicking Nova's butt should cure your malady.

 

[Chin Diesel]

After reading several of the wrap-ups, the one area I am most disappointed in is the OLine committing a false start on the first play. That has happened too often the past 3-4 years and it has to stop. False starts on the first play from scrimmage are nothing more than a lack of discipline. No noise, weather or anything else to blame. You can't coach a player not to do it; they have to be prepared mentally.

Overall I am concerned about the OLine not opening holes, but I do expect the defensive front seven of UConn to be very good this year. Campenni is a beast and he must have been drooling over the thought of beating up Vechey at the center position. JC can easily get under the C's pads and move him around.

5 freshmen on the 2 deep; they needed one TE from the get go, two after McQ had to leave. They were the 2 biggest guys available suitable for that position. The 2 lineman won't play, others from different positions will rotate in if needed. Its ok if Beals is better than a Lemelle, he was our highest rated recruit for 2015 and Lamelle really hasn't shown as much as I had hoped coming in. the 2-deep today is not the 2-deep for Set. 3. Players float up and down it especially this period. Coaches have used it as motivational tool.

FSU's offense didn't score against their defense in its first scrimmage. They made plenty of mistakes.

We are developing a power running game with a Qb that can also run or extent plays and even our better OLines were never that great at pass protection.

It was the first scrimmage after one week of camp. Geez.

We may not like it, but It happens quite a bit early in fall prep:

Yawn. It's the same nonsense we've seen for half a decade but now it's going to get fixed in 17 days.

The two deep changes?! The things you learn. If they show up week 1 with 6 true freshman in the 2 deep God bless us all because it's going to be a long year.

I guess the results of a scrimmage hold less value than hot air blowing from posters and coaches. Back to back delay of games: You can't make stuff like that up.

You are in mid season form . Not sure why you even bother.

The past few months you seemed to have mellowed.

Oh well....enjoy bringing us down with "your" reality.
