Spring Ball 2023

Who all was there watching from the BY? Anyone? The QB tea leaves are saying what, exactly, anything at all? Fagnano throws a nice long ball is it?? ZT has added some muscle mass? Roberson almost back? How did Millen look at safety?

Looks like the expanded crop of PWO's will pay off quickly in the form of Teddy Williams. Not surprised it would be him, he had a monster senior year in high school (offense & defense) and some thought he was the best player in the state in 2021. Maybe he can be the next Marcus Easley. You never know with a WR, 5'10" Steve Largent famously ran a 4.7 40 yard dash.

I was a bit late for game but watch for a solid hour. Roberson did not play, ZT was bigger but didn’t thrown deep Ball or down middle much, lots of short stuff and typical ZT. A bit crisper on the passes. Fagnano looked uncomfortable out there and missed some receivers. But again, if you like tight Spiral - how the ball looks - he did threw some beauties that missed the mark.

Since the announcers did not announce the game - which IMO was a mistake - they could have spotlighted plays a bit - it was hard to keep eyes on everything happening on the filed.

What I left with yesterday, is ZT is progressing to be a solid contender. But from an excitement level, McDonald impressed - goes though progressions and released ball so well - did not look a freshman. He may upset the status quo at QB.

The walk out from Norwalk, CT was a beast.

Sorry wish had more for you on Millen, I was glad to see him out there though.
 
Its pretty hard to read into practice as its brother vs brother and both the D and the O are playing vanilla. But if I had to narrow my thoughts into just a few points, then I suppose I would say that;

1) At QB, its an open race and in a good way.
2) We will have an even bigger run game in 2023; Houston can really accelerate and Edwards is a terrific depth piece.
3) Hard not to see the natural fluidity of true Freshman Dawdry and Harper.
4) As practice wore on I thought Watts just got better and better and better.
5) Overall we seem to have good to great depth at most positions.

As for participation, here is what I noticed, if anyone has anything to add to this I would appreciate it.

Did not play:
1) Mitchell (forearm)
2) Rosa (?)
3) Ross (?)
4) Fitzgerald (leg)
5) Hardy (leg)
6) Murawski (leg)
7) Eldridge (?)
8) D. Harrison (?)
9) R. Brown - if he played I missed it.
10) Molette - if he played I missed it.

Rosa did not participate due to a high ankle sprain which occurred during last Saturday's (4/15) practice.
 
Two other guys that didn’t participate - no surprise

11) Roberson (leg)
12) K. Anthony (leg)

Did you see Nigel Fitzgerald at the game?

I did not notice him- if he was there.

My observations are just from the steaming - I didn’t make the drive.

Do we know what Roberson's status is? He has wearing a pretty heavy knee brace.

Recovering from that ACL tear from week 1 of last season. Supposedly recovery is going well and he should be ready for fall camp to compete.

I did a total knee at the end of October and skied eight times this year as physical therapy. My experience is not germane to this point, but I compared notes with a much younger athletic guy one day in the base lodge as we were leaving. A guy who races and is very good. He said he had replaced an ACL a year or two ago and that it was pretty much a year before he was pain free. This was the type of guy who would go into the pain cave without hesitation in his PT regimen.

I am thinking it may be still a bit early for Roberson. Maybe his pain is gone but there is still some strengthening to do. And quickness. To say nothing of a medical staff that thinks there is still risk this early.

I would rather the lad be treated cautiously.
