Spring football
- Thread starter Laner2
- Start date
This is what we need to see culture wise. It’s why I’m convinced we will take a huge leap forward this year.
I'm not so worried about the Fullbacks. They never are going to be the biggest part of this offense. I'm more worried about seeing the TEs. Maybe the limited videos we get to see just aren't focused on the TEs but that's who I'd like to see be a much bigger part of the offense. Where's Fidone? Haven't heard much about him this Spring.
I like to see players Coaching. But I really want to see players holding other players accountable. That’s when we were great. If a player was slacking, they usually didn’t like what happened to them after that.
Heard commentary today that Fidone looks a step faster and more confident than last year. Makes sense given what he's been through...
No clue how they will use the FBs this year. Last year fans were so excited about the return of the FB lol. Nothing against them but I couldn't care one way or the other if we see a FB.
As long as we have an efficient offense that utilizes all of its weapons and scores some points I'll be happy.

Abdul was always one of my favorite Skers. As tough as they come regardless of his size.
Lloyd kinda reminds me of Abdul in fact. Similar sizes coming in. I think our WRs will surprise some people this year.

His gate looks a lot less cumbersome this year. Even with the brace on he seems more fluid and natural running.

Two things:
One, when Rhule came in he said the FB position was going to be integral to the offense (my words).
Two, and this is just my opinion, but a FB threat out of the backfield or as a receiver (I see you Andy J.) makes the offense even more dimensional to defend, and that's a good thing.
Matt, please don't forget the FB. It doesn't have to figure prominently, but it does have to figure.
Satt was pretty positive about his development during his PC but other than that we haven’t heard much.
Have not heard a great deal about many though either. Zero OL news all camp.
I think both of you are correct.
We want to see an efficient offense that utilizes all of its weapons. Long time since that’s been the case.
I think the FB could be a bonus for our offense if we have one or two that can be multi-dimensional. Be a Beast of a blocker, gain tough yards (short yardage and goal line), and be a decent receiver.
If our D isn’t putting Deion’s son on his *** consistently, pounding the rock/chewing up clock might be our best plan. Same obviously goes for other offenses we like to see on the bench.
Gotta have the dude at fullback in order to use him. How many high schools still use a fullback?
Well Kaelin's Old Gold Knights finally won the day today in competition. The teams were reconfigured some with player trades.

I concur. If you don’t have a guy that can do all the things I said and if Banks, Neyor (Sp), produce like I think they will, don’t put someone out there that is just serviceable.
I think we’re going to be really DAMN excited by what those 2 do at WR!
Janiran Bonner look smooth on that drill. Kids added 30 pounds since high school and still looks fast and lean. I can’t understand why he didn’t get more touches last year and I honestly don’t quite understand why he’s @ FB. The tweet said “WRs working the N drill.” So maybe he’s getting looked at back at WR.
Mickey loved Bonner, basically said kid could have played a few years ago but he was special and they didn’t want to waste him. Love or hate Mickey personally, I don’t care. But not too many guys have his resume when it comes to spotting talent. And let’s be real, we really struggled on offense last year. So it’s just so hard to understand why they didn’t use Bonner. 6’2 220 is what you want in the B1G at WR. Granted Janiran is just now a Sophmore, so plenty of time to do it. But no one is going to tell me Ty Hahn was more talented than Bonner was last year. No way
Just don’t understand this one

I wish I could agree with you my brother lol. I guess I'm at the point where I just stunt care anymore about the how. I just want to get the job done.
I remember resisting going away from running the option back in the days. Not anymore. Idgaf how we get it done lol. Pass 40 times or run 40 times or have 50/50 balance right down the middle. Idc... just win baby.
Play 3 FBs at a time or completely junk the position idc... just win. That's just where I'm at with it right now. Nostalgia is only good when you are winning imo

Use Haarbergs as a fullback.
Insane amount of options from a game planning perspective.
Roster turnover is here to stay absent something big happening. Given that, programs that can ride the crest of roster turnover and turn it into an advantage are just going to shellac programs that struggle with it. Just from what my eyes tell me, Rhule seems to get it. Time will tell.
