He's going to be good. Can't wait to see him and Staley against some live competition. Feel like I've been saying that for years.

I have no idea about Staley, but I feel real good about our QB job post-Dak. Fitz is going to be a very good QB and if Staley can beat him out, that's even better.

Yeah my thoughts as well. Paul seems to think Staley is the guy when he's healthy. My money is on Fitz.

According to Bob, Mullen says that Staley is a young $cam. But he's going to have to level up pretty fast to surpass Fitz on the depth chart. I see that Staley competed in the 100m and 200m dash at the 6A level in GA, so maybe he can move with the ball in his hands. Plus, he already outweighs Dak as a rFr.

Others have said Fitz throws a better ball. I watched some of last year's spring game yesterday to see how Fitz throws the ball. Fitz was something like 17-20 in the first half - three months out of HS.

Merlin on Dontavius Maximus

What style runner is D. Lee?

From Saturday's scrimmage -
He runs the ball hard. I think as he continues to grow, there are a couple cuts he is going to get better at. He is going to see some things a little bit better out there on the field, but that comes with time and experience. But he runs the ball hard.

Yeah it's a good problem to have. It was rumored that Mullen was blown away with Staley's film. I'm sure the kid has a world of potential.

Staley seems to be maturing and settling in

Which I think was his biggest issue. He certainly has the tools to be good.
Fitz is a natural and is going to play and play well.

According to Robbie ..

Johnathan Calvin seems to be wrecking **** up.

Speaking on Calvin .. "He went up against Rufus and Elgton Jenkins. Mostly Elgton and they've had some good battles in the spring so far."

Think he did some first team and some second team. 3 Sacks is good.


I noticed ..

Bell attempts a 38-yard field goal and he drills it. (hopefully we enter fall with a PK that can be consistent < 45 yards)
Both Bell and Cooke have boomed punts today.

Dontavian Lee will be hard to keep off of the field.

Kelan Chairs had seven tackles. Is he going to contribute this year at LB?

FWIW, Calvin said that Jenkins is the best he's gone up against this spring, said he moves really well. Supposedly Jenkins is the next big thing on the OL.

Bell has always been an outstanding field goal kicker in practice. I'm hopeful he's gotten it figured out for when it counts, but I'm not going to get too excited.
