Lewis not Clark

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Yes this “offensive football” term he used is really intriguing. Seems as though they may run AND pass. Guessing they will block and also try and move the ball forward, toward the end zone. Love that.

It's so crazy it just might work.

Lewis not Clark

Lewis & Clark?

 

[OrangeXtreme]

Lewis & Clark?

Sacagawea?

 

[ECE '76]

Which dorm are they staying in?

 

[CbusCuse]

Lewis not Clark

So Lewis and Clark? Funny how the brain works.

 

[CbusCuse]

I feel like it may be Lewis, Grant and Bellamy all splitting first team reps as It seems like it’s really close between those three. Then Barnes is the 4th for now. Then Barnes could get added to that mix as he gets more reps and more experience. Just guessing on my part though.

 

[ECE '76]

I look forward to the day Ashely replaces Mike Tirico.

Db is like oline. Super hard to come in and start. May be a big player but way too much technique needed and need a few years to practice it. will he play, hell yeah but start no.

Which dorm are they staying in?

Good question. Are they staying down on campus, for example on Mount Olympus, and then taking busses to South Campus for practice where all the outdoor fields are and the IPF is? I don't think they are walking on Comstock from the main campus to South campus to get to practice. Although if they were doing that long walk, it would totally be a discipline and team bonding thing to do.

It’s probably a good safety measure that is was not 100% disclosed.. don’t need a bunch of wackos looking for autographs and pictures.

They are on South

Macdonald states that in his interview

 

[Offthedome]

Every recruit should see and hear this segment to get a sense of why they should sign here.

 

[PhatOrange]

 

[CbusCuse]

Great segment. Love that Fran brought in Lewis with experience and wisdom at the CB spot with the others there being so young and inexperienced as just Freshman or Sophomores. Same goes for bringing in Justus Ross-Simmons at WR. Needed another player there with playing experience.

What I didn't love so much about that segment though is Cinco's attempted tackle at the 40 second mark.

I doubt they’re being allowed to tackle (at least in certain portions.). I’ve noticed it throughout these videos and McDonald pretty much says it.

Marcellus Barnes is going to start

Agreed

Yeah I thought about that. But it seemed like there was the hit, which is the more physical part. Then just no wrapping up. Hope you are right and what you are saying is the case though.

They don’t want them to take them to the ground which is where a lot of injuries happen. It’s Difficult to prevent the non contact leg injuries which are going to happen but can try to limit the contact injuries that occur with tackling to the ground.

Edit- agree they prob should wrap up a little more but also a slippery slope when going full speed then trying to slow down and go half speed and wrap up.

Well if he starts, that’s saying a lot about Barnes. Because the guys older than him; Grant, Lewis and Bellamy aren’t slouches. So just mean Barnes is a real stud and we have a shut down corner

We won't know until Ohio. But I wouldn't be surprised if we see Grant or Buxton on the boundary and the winner of Bellamy/Lewis/Barnes at field corner (or some combination of the above). Great to have a healthy competition at corner with experience and talent.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

My understanding is Bellamy has a pretty big lead over other guys for cb1. Buxton is a name I am surprised keeps coming up as someone to keep an eye on.
