GENERAL RANTS
1. Attendance was terrible. The Football team derserved much better support than what they got from the fan base (even with the weather)
2. I talked with several of the 2010 recruits and all of them are eager to be here on June 5th.
Team Rants and Musings
OFFENSE:
1. La Rod King has made tremendous strides and will definitely be a playmaker this year
2. Brian Adams has come a long way and will also make some noise
3. Both Gene McCaskill and Aaron Boyd are way behind the pack and may not be able to make up any serious ground
4. The TE fight looks to be between J Aumiller and N Melillo (at least at this point)
5. Do NOT count C Burden out as the Starting OLT --he looked pretty good yesterday
6. Overall, the O-line is not in nearly the shambles that most believed it to be in before Spring Practice began (at least not yesterday)
7. The QB position is basically a dog fight: Do they want M Hartline starting and M Newton coming off of the bench? Or, do they want M Newton starting and M Hartline coming off of the bench? R Mossakowski was making some deep throws and will make a huge push at some point.
8. Speed, talent, and playmaking ability has increased tremendously on this side of the ball
9. The RB position is deep and a dog fight as well (in depth after D Locke)
10. Believe it or not, we are not that far away from being really good on Offense. There were some timing issues that can easily be worked out.
DEFENSE:
1. M Cobble will be a player this year. He really stood out.
2. The backup DEs are getting some serious time on the field which is good. J Henderson will be a player and a starter for the '11 season.
3. I would have hoped to see more from R Lumpkins and S McCord
4. Both C Ukwu and P Ligon were getting mentioned in the game
5. R Sneed's name was mentioned, but you would have thought that it would have been mentioned more
6. W Guy played lights out! He had 2 INTs and could have had more. He still needs to wrap up on tackling more instead of going for the block tackle
7. The CBs did get beat a couple of times and it could have been more IE the deep pass that was overthrown over the middle-should have been a TD
8. The DTs look to have a good battle going on. The starters might be M Crawford and M Cobble from what I saw
9. Team speed has increased dramatically
10. Yes, Qua Huzzie played well, and will be tough to keep off of the field at some point.
