1. Leo 17ing Lewis is BEAST MODE and rock solid granite at LB. Tim Washington also looked good and Richie played well as usual. I don't remember seeing Jung unless he wore a different number than the roster listed, is he hurt or did I miss him? Gerri Green looks like an All-American in his physical build but he was being directed by Leo Lewis on where to line up correctly, at times he was hopping around from side to side looking confused and looked to Leo for direction.
2. All the new defensive coaches were straight up flying around, yelling, hyping the defense for both sides, it was a breath of fresh air. Those new coaches are coaching their *** off and you could hear their yells from the stands they were so loud, it was great energy. Contrast this with Hevesy & Sallach, who looked lost, confused and disinterested in keeping up with the new defensive coaches. Finally Hevesy, took his fat *** over to the sidelines and called plays from a safe distance. Why are Hevesy/Sallach still employed today? Damn it Dan, get over your friendships and fix this!!!
3. Looks like the kicking game was pretty good, extra points and punting were normal nothing stuck out as bad. Keith Mixon Nixon caught all the Punts hit his way and did not muff a thing, he looks like a playmaker. Malik Dear also caught all his punts with no muffs and looked good too.
4. Probably redshirt freshmen-itis, but Deddrick Thomas has glass hands and makes catching passes look like rocket science, it shouldn't be that hard to catch passes. Even the passes he actually caught were bobbled and pinged around before being hauled in, but he's a young pup and learning.
5. Nick Gibson & Alec Murphy are ballers and looked good, much better than Aeries, Dontavian and Shump all lumped together. Dontavian Lee is like Gerri Green, looks like a monster stud on the sidelines but when he runs on the field, he runs like a damn girl, too timid and slow. Too bad Lee and Green don't have the heart of Brandon Holloway, who looks like a 4th grader on the sidelines but runs like a damn Cheetah with a heart of a Lion toughness.
6. If Elijah Staley could ever act a little more serious enough, he would/should be our QB starter by far. He is off the charts talented with serious skills. But that dude is a straight up CLOWN, prankster and crazy mother17er. He is a loose cannon in attitude and is more worried about making funny faces and acting a fool on the Jumbo-Tron. He appears to want to party and not take QB seriously.
7. I have attended the last 4 spring games and I will continue to say, our offensive and defensive lines look slow, fat and out of shape. It was about 68 degrees, overcast with no humidity and a brisk wind on Saturday, but the OL, DL and TE looked tired and out of gas, with their hands on their hips all throughout the game, it should not be that hard to get through a damn spring game. Most of the OL & DLs look like ripples of fat coming out of their chests and legs, complete rolls of blubber and no muscle. They have serious conditioning issues on a overcast day, they will be a complete train-wreck come August and September heat.
8. The offense lacks overall team speed and explosiveness to take it all the way but I know Ross and Gray were out with injuries. I will continue to say, we look slow offensively as compared to other SEC teams spring games I have watched this weekend.
Sadly, due to the young nature of the QBs, OL and overall slow offense and a promising, hungry yet young defense, this team will probably go 6-6. 2016 is most definitely a rebuilding year with Mullen already making excuses when being interviewed lately of the youngness of the team. It could be a 2009-like year. Again, these are my opinions and I hope I am wrong.
