Who's gonna break out big time?

If David wins Bback, is Charles a viable option at Aback? I'd hate to waste his talent?

I don't see Sims beating out Perkins. Just my gut feeling. Of course, I haven't seen either of them ever touch the ball so what do I know? Assuming he does, AB is already pretty stacked, though not with Perkins physicality. Can he pick up the position/blocking in time to contribute after losing the BB spot, which he wouldn't likely do until right before the season starts? Easy solution: let him take snaps at AB when he's not practicing at BB.

Regardless, we need the BBack, whoever it may be, to be one of the breakout players for this offense (and thus the season) to break out.

I'd like to see a DL and/or a LB breakout as well.
 
I would rather see Sims at AB. He seems to do well in space. I also think he would be the best blocker from the AB group. I guess this spring will sort all of that out.

If Barnes plays hard like he did late last season, he could make a name for himself at NT. He has the talent, he just has to get mean and stay mean the whole game.

Nice hit.

Playside AB(not sure who) blowing his assignment(Jemea), not so nice.

Pulling guard(not sure who) blowing his assignment(Burnett), not so nice. (Julian would have stopped the play if Jemea didn't)

Big hits against our O are almost always the direct result of a missed assignment or poor block. In this case there were two on the playside. These guys need to figure this **** out.

Video isn't best quality but it looks like the AB was getting upfield to the safety and the WR missed the block on the corner. I don't think Julian is the linebacker in the play, looks like 42 Malcom Munroe then 54 Nealy coming over from the middle which would make sense as they are both 2nd team.

But correct in that they were both unblocked.
 
Paul Johnson. Midway thru the season he will snap out of it and realize it's not all about him. Al Groh will be there saying "You want me to coach?" and Johnson will be like "No Al, just hep me stand up!"

And at that point Ladies and Gentlemen, Our receivers start catching balls. Our defense starts knocking people down.

Otherwise, CPJ is doing a Gregory. We're not going to fire him. He's leaving of his own accord.
 
Sean Poole (KO/P) and Chandler Anderson (FG)... we haven't had a good punter in a while and just lost a good kicker, so we need them to step up.

+1

I don't see David Sims being the man at B-Back. I think he became somewhat of a Message Board Phenom after he had one good run against South Carolina State.

But that's just me.

Haven't been to many practices or scrimmages?

Hell look what Sean Bedford said about him.
 
I really like our odds on the ground here. Days (or Washington)/Sims/Smith/Perkins? If all FOUR of them don't break out big time, at least one of them will. Covering our rushing attack is going to be a daunting task (even moreso than usual methinks).

One of the few positives that I take from our completely unproven (and still undecided) QB/BB duo is that defenses aren't going to know who to key off of. I feel like in 2009 they focused on Dwyer. In 2010 it was Nesbitt. They could focus on limiting our strongest aspect forcing the other areas to step up. Hopefully we'll see a 2008 type of year where no one knows what to expect (extremely optimistic fingers crossed).

I think that's likely. Even though the guys are unproven as far as football skills are concerned, all five of them certainly are FAST. We'll burn at least a few defenses on the fact that it's difficult to account for that speed/depth combo at 3 or more points on the field on every play.

Just wait to we see Zenon take the corner.

In 2012 we'll have Zenon and Snoddy (if he redshirts - he may see the field this year). That some speed at Aback folks.
 
I like some of ur ideas with moving some guys around. If days isnt at qb would could line him up at reciever some.. I like the idea of perk at aback. He needs to be on the field. Drummond may be a star by season end

Yes, but can they block or catch.

I've learned not to get hyped over players who have never taken a snap. That includes Days and Perkins. Sims has only taken a few.
